Template:Racecourse Dragon Driftway is a racecourse included with The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 downloadable content in Mario Kart 8. It is the third course in the Egg Cup. The stage has an ancient Chinese theme, taking place in and on a giant dragon resembling Gobblegut. Throughout the course, various statues and murals of Lakitu appear.

Course layout

At the beginning of the race, characters drive into the mouth of the dragon, and go down in a winding hall, modeled after Chinese temples. After a set of zigzagging turns, players exit the dragon, although continue to drive on its exterior. After several winding turns, they will loop back and drive over the starting line. Here, several bumps work as ramps giving opportunity to perform tricks. After an additional turn, the characters return to the starting line.

Trivia

  • The dragon in this race course is never actually ends its tail, as it loops back to the start. This may be a reference to the cultural symbol of a snake eating its tail.
  • The Gobblegut tunnel is shown to have legs, but in Super Mario Galaxy 2 it doesn't have any.
