'''DK Mountain''' is the fourth and final race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The course takes place along two volcanoes in the middle of the jungle. The center of the track is a giant [[Barrel Cannon]] that shoots racers to the upper part of an active volcano. The course itself is complex, containing several curly paths, dangerous, tight turns and an uneven ground where [[drift]]ing is difficult to control. | '''DK Mountain''' is the fourth and final race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.

The course itself is complex, containing several curly paths, dangerous, tight turns and an uneven ground where [[drift]]ing is difficult to control.

All players start the race in the jungle. As they start the race, the players go to the base of an inactive volcano and take a curved path surrounded by the crater of this volcano. Racers are soon fired by the DK Cannon, onto an active volcano. While airborne, racers are invulnerable to items. After landing near the top of the volcano, drivers now have to drive downhill on bumpy terrain. Almost at the base of the active volcano, racers happen on a road prone to falling boulders. Reentering the jungle, players take a zigzagging path where more boulders roll down hills. During the first turn, racers should avoid falling off the cliff while swerving around. A second turn surrounds a deep ravine where players may fall. Lastly, the third tight turn leads racers to a swaying, windy rope bridge high above a deep canyon. This leads racers to the finish line. | All players start the race in the jungle.

DK Mountain returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as part of the sixth and final wave of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC. It appears as the second course | DK Mountain returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as part of the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC. It appears as the second course of the [[Acorn Cup]]. The course is based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with graphical enhancements - most notably, the land surrounding the track has quite a bit more detail, with distant jungle canopies added. [[DK Barrel]]s have been added throughout the course. The cannon regains the "DK" letters on its side, as well as the wooden support beams holding it up. A Condor nest was added on a small cliff to the right of the head of the volcano. The wooden ramps were replaced by stone ramps included directly in the road; the third now has some DK Barrels scattered along it, and if tricked off properly, can lead racers to driving on the elevated mountain rock briefly, which in turn can also lead to a small shortcut. The volcano now has a flame-like appearance on its face. A wall now extends along a small part of the final chasm, weakening the shortcut possible there in ''Double Dash!!'' and ''Wii''; however, the gap can still be jumped further down. The ropes along the sides of the bridge added in ''Mario Kart Tour'' have been removed, though it retains its waving trickable properties. The final two switchbacks before the bridge have been remodeled to raise up slightly, akin to the final turn of {{classic-link|GBA|Sunset Wilds}}. The updated music now features the middle verse backed by a flute and a more audible bass line while jungle ambience starts playing in the background of the last verse before the loop. | ||
Internally, the course is referred to as "Cnsw_56", implying it may have originally been intended to be the second course of the [[Cherry Cup]]. | |||
