N64 Yoshi Valley: Difference between revisions

Yoshi Valley returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Yoshi Tour (2022)|2022 Yoshi Tour]]. It is the first N64 course to be included in the game since [[N64 Choco Mountain]] in the [[Exploration Tour (2020)|2020 Exploration Tour]] forty-five tours prior. Like [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]], [[N64 Royal Raceway]], and [[GCN Baby Park]], it mostly takes on the appearance of its ''Mario Kart 8'' iteration. The course features a different starting line design compared to ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', and the nest on the starting line now features some leaves on it. A cliff and some more Yoshi spectators have been added near the starting line. The time of day has also been changed from evening to early morning (also applies to [[DS Airship Fortress]]). Route 1 was made much wider and now has guardrails. Two logs have been added to route 6. Two [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]]s have been added at the loop after racers pass through the split paths, making this the first classic course in the game that is not present in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' to have half-pipes. The fence at the area with the Giant Egg is now colored white, and bushes appear under it. Hot-air balloons themed after Yoshi are also added above the track as decorations. The Wild Yoshi Sanctuary signs present on the course now use 2D artwork of Yoshi instead of 3D artwork. Despite using its ''Mario Kart 8'' appearance, this course uses the original version of its music from ''Mario Kart 64''. The minimap also now matches its orientation from ''64'', as opposed to the ''8'' version. As with other courses in the game, Yoshi Valley has a reverse variant, a trick variant, and a reverse/trick variant referred to as '''Yoshi Valley R''', '''Yoshi Valley T''', and '''Yoshi Valley R/T''', respectively; the former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the [[Yoshi Tour (2022)|2022 Yoshi Tour]], while the latter was introduced in the [[Yoshi Tour (2023)|2023 Yoshi Tour]]. In the trick variant, many [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s are added to the course. In the reverse/trick variant, multiple routes are incorporated into one continuous route with a split path, making the track longer. This course is a favorite of [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Rosalina]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Golf)]], [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Gold Egg)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Volendam)]], [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES)]], [[Pink Shy Guy|Pink Shy Guy (Ninja)]], [[Petey Piranha]], and the [[Mii|Gold, Nabbit, and Chain Chomp Mii Racing Suits]]. It is also a favorite of [[Cat Mario]] and [[White Tanooki Mario]] if they reach level 6, and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Farmer)]] if she reaches level 8.
