'''Choco Mountain''' is the third course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The course features falling rocks as obstacles. A third through it, a chocolate pyramid can be seen. The course's chocolate aesthetic is reminiscent of the [[Choco Island]] racecourses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. The course reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second race of the [[Leaf Cup]] and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Exploration Tour (2020)|2020 Exploration Tour]]. In the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass]], it reappears as the third race of the [[Golden Dash Cup]].

Choco Mountain returns in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second race of the [[Leaf Cup]], in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Exploration Tour (2020)|2020 Exploration Tour]] and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third race of the [[Golden Dash Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.


In the 50cc difficulty level and the Time Trials mode, the curve is protected by a banister where the players could not fall into the trap; however, the banister disappears if the player chooses a higher difficulty level than 50cc. In ''Mario Kart DS'', there is no banister present at all. In ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the banister is present in all difficulty levels.

Choco Mountain makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. Not many changes were made, aside from the graphics, and the banister that protects the player in ''Mario Kart 64'' in 50cc and Time Trials was removed completely. Most walls on the course are modified to be flatter, likely due to this game's lack of the crash mechanic. The music was arranged to this game's soundfont, though nothing else was changed about it. The course was available on Wi-Fi.

Choco Mountain reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it makes its debut in the [[Exploration Tour (2020)|2020 Exploration Tour]]. The starting banner has been changed to a wooden sign with a blue, three-dimensional ''Mario Kart'' logo, and more signs were added to the track. There is now a scarce amount of foliage on the borders of the road. A pit and some dead trees have been added at the left of the first turn and some small ramps were added just before the face of the mountain. After entering through the mountain, the track now has a cavern section with [[Swoop]]s, crystals and off-road shortcuts. A [[Glide Ramp]] with a pit below and on the right has been added at the end of the cavern. A concrete wall and [[Fish Bone]] fossils were added in the part with the boulders. The banister that was originally present in ''Mario Kart 64'' in 50cc and Time Trials reappears in all difficulty levels, but only from the curve right after the boulders. The last turn now has an off-road part that the players can use as a shortcut. The player can now perform a [[Jump Boost]] by hitting the broken bridge. In addition, the white fog that covers most the track has been made less dense, making the surroundings slightly more visible.

Choco Mountain returns as the third course of the [[Golden Dash Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is heavily patterned after its appearance in ''Mario Kart Tour'', though with updated graphics. The ramps before the cavern section have been removed, as was the ability to trick off the broken bridge. The white fog that covers most of the track in the track’s previous installments has been dramatically reduced, making most of the track visible. The track also receives a country-inspired musical arrangement with harmonica, fiddle, banjo, and electric guitar.<ref>Nintendo (February 9, 2022).

Retrieved February 9, 2022.</ref> [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s have been added as spectators on the course.

As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update. Prior to the aforementioned update, the wheels on the karts did not build up dirt despite the fact that Choco Mountain is a dirt-based track.
