N64 DK's Jungle Parkway: Difference between revisions

[[File:DKs Jungle Parkway.png|thumb|left|The paddleboat]]

When racers go off-course, unseen "restless natives," as the instruction booklet calls them, throw [[coconut]]s at them. A large paddleboat with "[[Mario]]" written on it cruises around the river in the jungle. The race starts off along the shoreline of the river, which leads to a massive jump across the river. Players, while jumping, can aim their landing spot. The paddleboat may be an obstacle during this jump, but players can pass through the paddleboat most of the time. Players then follow the winding dirt path to a narrow wooden bridge at the edge of a waterfall. The bridge leads to a small cave, which ends at the start of the track.

The course returns in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as the third race of the Leaf Cup. [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Shy Guy]]s are now riding the cruise boat (only in single-player mode), the water is yellowish-orange instead of blue (to reflect the color of the sunset sky), and the jungle has been pushed back, with the coconuts that usually hit the player being removed. Another change is that there is mud inside the cave, which slows down racers that try to cross it, unless they use a [[Mushroom]], [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Golden Mushroom]], [[Super Star|Star]], or [[Mega Mushroom]] to cut ahead without slowing down. The [[Dash Panel]] at the jump has been modified. In the N64 version, if the player is shrunk by a lightning bolt when approaching the jump, it is possible for the player not to make it over the river. In the Wii version, the Dash Panel acts similarly to the [[Barrel Cannon]], where the player always makes it across, even when shrunk, and also forces the drivers to go straight and prevents them from cutting ahead and/or going anywhere else. Also, the [[Arrow Sign]]s are now brown with blue arrows instead of cream with red arrows. The course map has been rotated 90° counterclockwise.  

This is one of two tracks in ''Mario Kart Wii'', the other being {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, where it is impossible to do a trick since there are no trick ramps.

When the player crosses the finish line to begin the next lap, [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] is shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs.
