'''Toad's Turnpike''' (transliterated to '''Kinopio Highway''' on a few occasions<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51. Pages 28 and 29.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 49. Page 40.</ref>) is the first course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', as well as the third longest course in the game (behind [[Wario Stadium]] and [[N64 Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]). It is named after [[Toad]] and pictures of him are seen on the boundaries of the racetrack. The race track takes place on a public road at night. There are vehicles driving on this course which cause the racer's [[kart]] to launch into the air if a collision between the two occurs. The overall shape of this course is roughly a figure 8, with some parts of the road with varying lane quantity. All [[Item Box]]es of this track are located in the edge of a concave area where the road includes. Toad's Turnpike also appears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the last course of the [[Shell Cup]]. While "{{wp|turnpike}}" refers to a toll road, the name was not meant to be a description of the course: "turnpike" was chosen for alliteration in English and Dutch versions. Thus, for ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', a turnpike service area was added at the start-finish line. | '''Toad's Turnpike''' (transliterated to '''Kinopio Highway''' on a few occasions<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51.
