'''Yoshi Falls''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second track of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. The track is located in a crater-like valley, circling a lake with three waterfalls connected to the body of water, crossing the track. A large [[Yoshi Egg]] is found in the center of the lake. Numerous [[Dash Panel]]s are located at some places along the course. Bridges do provide a safer way to pass, as opposed to going through the waterfalls is a risk, due to being able to be pushed off the edge. The [[Mario Kart DS#Mission Mode|missions]] 1-3 and 3-4 take place on this course.

Yoshi Falls is one of the shortest courses in ''Mario Kart DS'', being the shortest nitro course in the game. It is the only Yoshi course in the series to not appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and it remained the last Yoshi course to appear as a [[new course]] in a ''Mario Kart'' game for eighteen years until the introduction of [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''.


The course returns as the second classic retro course in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' for the [[Shell Cup]]. It was remade with improved graphics, along with most ''Mario Kart DS'' courses on the [[Wii]].  
In ''Mario Kart DS'', Yoshi Falls was one of the available courses via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] before the service ended on May 20, 2014. The course's layout is similar to [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]] from ''Mario Kart Wii''.


Yoshi Falls is one of the shortest courses in ''Mario Kart DS'', along with other quite short areas such as [[Baby Park|<small>GCN</small> Baby Park]], [[Moo Moo Farm|<small>N64</small> Moo Moo Farm]], [[Peach Circuit|<small>GBA</small> Peach Circuit]] and [[Mario Circuit 1|<small>SNES</small> Mario Circuit 1]]. It is the shortest nitro course in the game. The track's overview is quite similar to [[Luigi Circuit]] from ''Mario Kart Wii''.{{br|left}}
Yoshi Falls reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the second race of the [[Shell Cup]].

===Course layout===
Racers start far the edge of the cliff protected by a bar. As they go onwards, they can take either of the upper half of the track or the lower half, taking advantage to run faster but also being vulnerable to fall off or being pushed off by the rapids crossing the path. The upper level, however, has a bridge to cross safely over the waters, and handy [[Item Box]]es. Racers then must take the second bridge, also containing Item Boxes. The stream of the second rapid down the bridge is more powerful, so it results easy to fall to the lake by taking this way. Certain item as a [[Star]] would serve to pass the obstacle and gain more time. Briefly, past the second bridge, characters can run over useful Dash Panels in the upper half, while the lower half has none of these speed boosters, some Item Boxes appear down the third bridge, unlike the upper stretch which does not have any. Once passed the bridge and the Dash Panels, the track ends in the finish line, which starts another lap of the course. This final stretch is a good oppotunity to perform a wheelie.

=====Missions=====
===Missions===
There are two missions involving this circuit: 1-3 and 3-4.
There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Yoshi Falls:
In mission 1-3 the player has to destroy the 10 item boxes and in mission 3-4 they have to cross the finish line in a single lap before Yoshi.
*'''Mission 1-3''': The player controls [[Yoshi]], who must hit 10 [[Item Box]]es within 45 seconds. Each Item Box contains a [[Mushroom]].
*'''Mission 3-4''': The player controls [[Princess Peach|Peach]], who must beat Yoshi in a single-lap race. During this mission, barriers block off the first two bridges as well as the third waterfall. Each Item Box contains a Star, Mushroom, or Triple Mushrooms.

Yoshi Falls is the second course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart DS. The track is located in a crater-like valley, circling a lake with three waterfalls connected to the body of water, crossing the track. A large Yoshi Egg is found in the center of the lake. Numerous Dash Panels are located at some places along the course. Bridges do provide a safer way to pass, as opposed to going through the waterfall rapids, which is a risk due to being able to be pushed off the edge. Yoshi Falls is one of the shortest courses in Mario Kart DS, being the shortest nitro course in the game. It is the only Yoshi course in the series to not appear in Mario Kart Tour, and it remained the last Yoshi course to appear as a new course in a Mario Kart game for eighteen years until the introduction of Yoshi's Island in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass.

In Mario Kart DS, Yoshi Falls was one of the available courses via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection before the service ended on May 20, 2014. The course's layout is similar to Luigi Circuit from Mario Kart Wii.

Yoshi Falls reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart Wii as the second race of the Shell Cup.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

Course layout[edit]

Racers start far from the edge of the cliff and are protected by a wooden bar. As they go forward, they can take either the upper half of the track or the lower half, taking advantage of the faster path but also being vulnerable to falling off or being pushed off by the rapids crossing the path. The upper level, however, has a bridge to cross safely over the waters, and handy Item Boxes. Racers then must take the second bridge, also containing Item Boxes. The stream of the second rapid down the bridge is more powerful, so it is more likely that racers will fall off crossing it. Certain items, such as a Star, mitigate the effects of the rapids. Briefly, past the second bridge, characters can run over Dash Panels in the upper half, while the lower half has none of these speed boosters. Some Item Boxes appear down the third bridge, unlike the upper stretch, which does not have any. Once racers have passed the third bridge, there are more Dash Panels on the upper half of the course appearing before the track ends at the finish line.

Missions[edit]

There are two missions that take place on Yoshi Falls:

  • Mission 1-3: The player controls Yoshi, who must hit 10 Item Boxes within 45 seconds. Each Item Box contains a Mushroom.
  • Mission 3-4: The player controls Peach, who must beat Yoshi in a single-lap race. During this mission, barriers block off the first two bridges as well as the third waterfall. Each Item Box contains a Star, Mushroom, or Triple Mushrooms.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

Yoshi Falls makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Wii as the second course of the Shell Cup. The layout mostly remains identical as the one seen in Mario Kart DS, albeit with updated graphics. The most noticeable change in the course is the addition of a ramp on the third bridge, which the player can perform a trick on.

Tournaments[edit]

Preview of the July 2009 tournament race

July 2009's second tournament required players to complete a GP race on a version of Yoshi Falls with a modified layout: Some mushroom trampolines from Mushroom Gorge are now present on the side of the track, and sets of barriers direct racers onto them instead of the main route. The control scheme was restricted to Wii Wheel users.

Glitches[edit]

If the player tries to turn around as they normally would, but uses three mushrooms to move behind the fence and the water falls, when they turn around, Lakitu will not follow them. When the player approaches the goal in reverse order, it will be counted as one lap, even though the player went backwards.[citation needed]
