'''Koopa Troopa Beach''' (known as '''Koopa Beach''' in the American version of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') is the third race course in the [[Mushroom Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is most likely named after the [[Koopa Troopa]] rock formation seen when the race begins. The track is the first in the game ''Mario Kart 64'' to feature an explicit shortcut available without the use of an item. The course reappears as a [[Retro Course]] in ''Mario Kart 7'' as the first track in the [[Banana Cup]]. | '''Koopa Troopa Beach''' (known as '''Koopa Beach''' in the American version of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') is the third race course in the [[Mushroom Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.

The track starts out next to water. After rounding the first corner racers will pass the giant Koopa shaped rock on one side or the other and follow the water around the next turn. After the turn players will come to the first of many ramps. | The track starts out next to water.

After going off the ramp the racers will pass under a rock formation to a group of ramps. On the last ramp a secret cave shortcut exists. Players need to use a [[Mushroom]] or [[Hop (Mario Kart)|hop]] to gain access to the shortcut, however some can manage to pass without a speed boost. The race track also has another minor shortcut. Before the overheard rock formation and the numerous ramps, the player can take a sharp right to find a small pathway partially submerged by water. After another turn racers will come to a big, narrow ramp which can access an [[Item Box]] on top of a large rock. This Item Box also contains only a [[Spiny Shell]]. However, racers can also just pass this rock and drive by a waterfall (the exit to the shortcut). In the final stretch, the course is almost completely submerged by water which drivers must go through. Next to the finish line are [[Crab]]s who serve as obstacles. | After going off the ramp the racers will pass under a rock formation to a group of ramps.

Koopa Troopa Beach appears as one of the [[Retro Course]]s for ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the first track in the [[Banana Cup]]. The track has received major changes: players can now fully drive underwater. Also, the two shortcuts from the original have been merged into one, with the ramp containing a glider panel, and can only be accessed with a mushroom during the first and third laps, or by a good aerial trick on the second lap. Additionally, the shortcut through the rock hill has been shortened. Another change is that the Spiny Shell item box has now been replaced with a coin. All the ramps now encompass [[Dash Panel]]s, and can be used to perform [[Trick]]s after jumping off them. | Koopa Troopa Beach appears as one of the [[Retro Course]]s for ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the first track in the [[Banana Cup]].
