'''Daisy Cruiser''' is the third course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is [[Princess Daisy]]'s home track of the game. The course takes place, as the name suggests, on [[Daisy Cruiser|a large cruise ship]] that has various floors and a giant logo of Daisy's head on the sides. The cruiser also has a dining room with moving [[table]]s that act as obstacles for the player, a large pool that has a picture of [[Princess Daisy]] at the bottom, and a set of hallways. Also included is a basement leading to a giant air vent, and various flower motifs throughout the cruiser's design. [[Pianta]]s can be seen in the cruiser as well, waving at the players. This course shares its music with [[GCN Peach Beach|Peach Beach]], where Daisy Cruiser can be seen in the distance. Daisy Cruiser is also seen in the backgrounds in [[GCN Yoshi Circuit|Yoshi Circuit]] and the ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' track [[Wii Daisy Circuit|Daisy Circuit]]. | '''Daisy Cruiser''' is the third course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.

After the dining room is a 90 degree turn right, and another 90 degree turn left. The player will see Item Boxes and a hole to the right. If the player takes the Item Box route, they will come to another 90 degree turn left and another turn right, which leads outside again. If the player falls into the hole, they will enter a cellar with a [[Double Item Box]], before entering a [[Cannon (Mario Kart series)|cannon]] that takes them back to outside the ship. Racers then reach the bow of the ship, where the track forms a U-turn in it to the right and then bends into another straight path. In one-screen mode only, the player may bump into hanging life-savers, but it does not affect the player's speed. There is a straight staircase that leads uphill and after, the deck with the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]] in it.

Daisy Cruiser makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The course's map has been rotated 180 degrees alongside the Stars and arrows both no longer having eyes on them and the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo on the starting banner being resized and having altered gradients. Right after the starting line, instead of being forced to head right, one can now drive through the once-blocked left path. The floor of the passage on the right is now wooden. | Daisy Cruiser makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Leaf Cup]].

Right after the starting line, instead of being forced to head right, one can now drive through the once-blocked left path. The floor of the passage on the right is now wooden. With the game's introduction of [[underwater driving]], players can also drive through the swimming pool. All of the [[Pianta]]s have been replaced with [[Mii]]s. The banquet room now has fewer [[table]]s. Also, the cellar under the floor has become an aquarium filled with water, having Miis on the sidelines watching, a [[Maw-Ray|Unagi]] swimming around, and [[Clampy]]s that, similarly to the ones on [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]], carry items inside. The hanging life-savers were removed. The [[Cannon (Mario Kart series)|cannon]] was also removed, instead having two [[Dash Panel]]s, allowing the player to drive through it mostly as normal. However, the Dash Panels here behave differently to those in other courses as they automatically steer the player in the correct direction, even if driven on while facing sideways. | ||

It is the fifth course after {{classic-link|DS|DK Pass}}, {{classic-link|DS|Airship Fortress}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}} to be the signature course of two tours (the Ocean Tour and the Sunshine Tour). The track is based on its ''Mario Kart 7'' appearance; however, there are no more [[Item Box]]es sliding along with the [[table]]s in the dining room. The ''Mario Kart'' logo above the dining hall entrance is replaced with the track name. The Clampies in the aquarium area no longer contain Item Boxes in them. The track has undergone a slight redesign, with the stripes near the bottom of the ship being brighter shades of red and orange, the aquarium outlet pipe is now yellow instead of orange, the gears near the front are a brighter blue color, and the ground around the pool and towards the end of the track now being colored green. The dining room and the hallway just after have been redesigned, with green, white and orange walls, and a crown-shaped chandelier is added to the dining room ceiling. Gardens with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] and [[Toad (species)|Toads]] have been added on both sides of the finish line, and the banners now have pictures of various items from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, notably the [[Mushroom]], [[Super Star]], [[Fire Flower]], [[Super Leaf]], [[Heart (item)|Heart]], and [[Super Bell]]. The mast at the bow also appears to be taller. Much like other course remakes in this game, every instance of 3D artwork is replaced with 2D artwork, such as the Princess Daisy logo on the side of the cruise and the Daisy artwork inside the pool. | ||
The course also appears as '''Daisy Cruiser R''' (reversed), '''Daisy Cruiser T''' (with ramps) and '''Daisy Cruiser R/T''' (reversed with ramps); the former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the [[Ocean Tour]], while the latter debuted in the [[Sunshine Tour]]. In the R variant, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] just before the pool which allows racers to glide onto and briefly drive along the top of the ship. In the T variant, there are no moving tables; instead, there are many motionless tables on the sides of the main path through the dining room. There are also two water geysers in the aquarium. In the R/T variant, the pool has two water geysers which come out of pipes. | The course also appears as '''Daisy Cruiser R''' (reversed), '''Daisy Cruiser T''' (with ramps) and '''Daisy Cruiser R/T''' (reversed with ramps); the former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the [[Ocean Tour]], while the latter debuted in the [[Sunshine Tour]].

Daisy Cruiser returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 5 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It appears as the second course of the [[Feather Cup]]. The course retains its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', albeit with significant visual upgrades. [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s have been added as spectators on the outside of the ship. Three [[Innertube Goomba]]s were added in the pool area. The dining room lights are now lit up and the tables are now occupied by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], [[Toad (species)|Toads]], and [[Shy Guy]]s. The tables now spin as they move. Some tables now serve as walls to reduce the width of the interior section. The [[Clampy]]s in the aquarium have been repositioned, and the banners fly in the wind. The Item Boxes are positioned similarly to ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and move once again, unlike in ''Tour''.<ref>@NintendoAmerica (July 7, 2023).
