This article is about the course in Mario Kart. For the court in Mario Sports Mix with the same name, see Waluigi Pinball (court).

Template:Racecourse Waluigi Pinball is the third race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart DS. As its name implies, this course takes place in a giant pinball machine themed after Waluigi and contains many sharp turns and curves.

Mario Kart DS

 
The track icon

Soon after the countdown ends and the race begins, the kart drivers are launched into the pinball machine. After that, the racers start a descent down the machine, encountering numerous pinballs on the way. Colliding with one of these causes drivers to be knocked backwards. Additionally, a racer loses any items they may be carrying. While the racers are in the pinball launcher, they are immune to all items, including Lightning. Later in the track, inside the pinball area, there are flippers and bumpers. Bumpers push and speed up drivers, but flippers, when moving, can cause them to get electrocuted and spin out. This is the longest Nitro track of the game.

Missions

There are two missions involving this circuit: 3-1 and 4-7. In mission 3-1, Wario must break 5 item boxes and in mission 4-7, Toad must drive through the 10 gates in any order. The latter is the only mission involving driving through gates to have the player drive through the gates in any order as opposed to numerical order.

Staff ghost

The staff ghost in this track is 2:23:288 using Waluigi in the Gold Mantis.

Mario Kart 7

 
DS Waluigi Pinball in Mario Kart 7

The track returns as a retro course in Mario Kart 7 as the fourth and final course in the Banana Cup, despite Waluigi's absence. The layout remained the same, but with enhanced graphics and the Dash Panels are now orange.

The launch after the start/finish line now encompasses a Glide Ramp, although like Maple Treeway and Airship Fortress, players cannot aim their flight. Players are also no longer immune to items while in the launcher, and being hit by anything (or stowing their glider) results in having to be rescued by Lakitu. The jumps after turn 1 and after turn 6 can be used to perform a trick and gain a boost. An extra Dash Panel is added in the small drop near the circular turn that comes after the 2nd jump.

The pinballs, bumpers, and flippers on the table behave the same way as in the DS version of the course. While playing local or online multiplayer, only one pinball traverses the main table as opposed to two.

The Staff Ghost for this track is Wario.

Mario Kart Tour

 
The course's icon in Mario Kart Tour

Waluigi Pinball returns in Mario Kart Tour, with several aesthetic differences, including the image of Waluigi's head now rotating left and right. The slots now have a Las Vegas theme to them, the bumpers now have a brighter color, the Mario Kart logo uses a modern design, and a sign after the pinball launch is a sign with Waluigi's art from Mario Party: Star Rush, the track name, a pinball, and two flippers. This course is favored by Baby Mario, Waluigi, Peach (Kimono), and Pauline (Party Time).

Mario Kart Tour

  • Mario Kart Tour Twitter: "Waluigi Pinball, a course stocked with all the lights and sounds of a pinball machine, bumps its way into #MarioKartTour in the next tour! Can you weave your way past the bumpers and flippers? Just try not to tilt!"[1]

Trivia

  • In Mario Kart DS, this course shares its Grand Prix introduction fanfare with Figure-8 Circuit, Mario Circuit and GCN Luigi Circuit. It is the only non-circuit track with this distinction.
  • The course has several unique sound effects that evoke pinball machine scoring noises. These sounds are carried over to its retro course in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour:
    • A unique item roulette sound, making it one of four courses in the series to have a unique such sound, with Hyrule Circuit, Animal Crossing, and Urchin Underpass (all crossover courses) being the other three.
    • An additional "rolling" sound played when traversing a Dash Panel. No other course in the series has this feature.
    • A unique set of sounds for when the player's position changes. No other course in the series has this feature, though similar sounds for when the player's position changes are used in Mario Kart Wii onwards.
    • Except in Mario Kart Tour, where the second lap is the final lap, a unique jingle plays when the player enters the second lap. No other course in the series has this feature.
