==Trivia==
*[[Merry Mountain]], [[DS Airship Fortress]], [[Vancouver Velocity 2]], and [[RMX Rainbow Road 2]] are the only courses in the game that were featured in at least one tour with festive trees but did not have any festive trees on the course.
*[[Merry Mountain]], [[DS Airship Fortress]], all three [[Vancouver Velocity]] routes, [[RMX Rainbow Road 2]], and [[Wii DK Summit]] are the only courses in the game that were featured in at least one tour with festive trees but did not have any on the course.
**In Merry Mountain's case, this is due to it already having a Christmas theme.
