'''Peach Gardens''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The course is located in the gardens of a large country estate that bears a similar design to [[Peach's Castle]]. Obstacles in the course include [[Chain Chomp]]s and [[Monty Mole]]s, both capable of attacking the player. The course is often blocked by large hedges which cannot be driven through and patches of grass that slow players down. However, a speed booster such as a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star|Star]] can be used to get across the grass for a shortcut.

The course contains various gardening elements such as ornamental trees and flowers. Some parts of the road are decorated by trellised arches, like the one standing over the starting line that supports the "Mario Kart" banner on it. The track also includes a pond with a circular terrace that has a garden sculpture of [[Mario]] in the center. This is the only part of the track that is not protected by fences and falling into the pond causes [[Lakitu]] to put the player back on the track. The rest of the track, however, is protected by fences and tall hedges serving as walls. This grass sculpture of Mario resembles his design from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', which in turn makes it resemble the Mario ice sculpture in {{classic-link|N64|Frappe Snowland}}.
