The arena is a round platform floating in outer space, modeled after similar platforms in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Rainbow Road]]; in addition, the size of the battle stage would be adjusted depending on the tournament objective.


In the tournament which took place between June 1st and June 9th, 2008, [[player]]s had to compete for the fastest time by knocking a total of four enlarged [[Spiked Topman|Spiked Topmen]] off the edge of the arena, using nothing but [[Triple Mushrooms]] to do so. As the Topmen spun around wildly, players had to watch were they drove, and could only knock them away with a [[Mushroom]] boost.
Three tournaments took place on the arena, each with their own unique objectives. In the first tournament, players had to compete for the fastest time by knocking a total of four giant [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]] off of the arena's edge using only [[Triple Mushrooms]]. Players could knock them away with a Mushroom boost. In the second tournament, the outer rings of the arena broke off, and players had to send six Spiky Topmen off of the stage. In the third tournament, some Topmen could run away, and the outer rings no longer broke off.


According to the map of the stage, the size of this stage differs from each boss battle.
Due to the ending of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] service and subsequent end of Tournaments mode, it is no longer possible to play on this course through normal means.
This stage is the Mario Kart Wii version of the [[Water Arena]] from Mario Kart DS.

Galaxy Colosseum (known as Galaxy Arena in the British English version) is an arena that appears in Mario Kart Wii, exclusively during the online Tournaments game mode. The arena is a round platform floating in outer space, modeled after similar platforms in Super Mario Galaxy and Rainbow Road; in addition, the size of the battle stage would be adjusted depending on the tournament objective.

Three tournaments took place on the arena, each with their own unique objectives. In the first tournament, players had to compete for the fastest time by knocking a total of four giant Spiky Topmen off of the arena's edge using only Triple Mushrooms. Players could knock them away with a Mushroom boost. In the second tournament, the outer rings of the arena broke off, and players had to send six Spiky Topmen off of the stage. In the third tournament, some Topmen could run away, and the outer rings no longer broke off.

Due to the ending of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service and subsequent end of Tournaments mode, it is no longer possible to play on this course through normal means.
