 '''Coconut Mall''' is the second course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is set in a shopping center which is located on [[Isle Delfino]].<ref>Hogson, David. 2008. ''Mario Kart (Wii): Prima Official Game Guide'', pg 56.</ref>
-Coconut Mall returns as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]], in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Golden Dash Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a course debuting in the [[Doctor Tour (2022)|2022 Doctor Tour]]. This course's presence in these four games, added to each in that specific order, means Coconut Mall is the only course in the series to appear in four consecutive games, and be added to them in release order. It, alongside [[Wii Mushroom Gorge|Mushroom Gorge]], [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]], and [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]], have appeared in four games in a row (every game since their debuts) if one counts the two ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' titles as the same game.

-Coconut Mall makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]]. The course is considerably shorter in length than that of the original Wii version. There are many changes that have been made to the course, mostly due to technical limitations of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Because all of the Piantas were removed, colored arrows were added to the escalators, with green arrows on the ones going up, and red arrows on the ones going down. The first shortcut is no longer an off-road portion, meaning it can be cleared without the use of Mushrooms. The tables on the left side of the courtyard were removed. At the two jumps exiting the mall, the dash panel on the upper section was replaced with a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]. In the parking lot, one of the Mii-driven cars was removed, and the remaining cars drive back and forth the whole width of the track; this is unlike ''Mario Kart Wii'' where two of the cars drove half the width. Additionally, there are no longer Miis on the inaccessible platforms, advertisements containing pictures of the player's Miis were removed, and all of the advertisements and signs are in English regardless of the language the game is being played.

 This time, the course is completely redesigned, retaining its shortened length from ''Mario Kart 7''. The archway starting line has been stylized to instead resemble two palm trees curving into one another with a pair of shopping bags and some palm tree leaves occupying the space between the top, and now uses the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. Like with ''Mario Kart 7'', there are no longer posters containing Miis, instead, they are replaced with simple adverts. Among advertisements and sponsors in the course, signs that make references to the [[Vanilla Lake]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and [[GCN Dino Dino Jungle|Dino Dino Jungle]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' are present, most notably at the starting line and just before the second U-turn. The escalators have now been replaced with flat [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belts]], with arrows that are similar to the ones in the ''Mario Kart 7'' version, but much brighter. The floors are now orange instead of white. The top path exiting the mall is a [[Glide Ramp]] like in ''Mario Kart 7'', while the bottom path exiting the mall is a [[Ramp|boosted ramp]] similar to ''Mario Kart Wii''. The arches after the ramps and before the parking lot have been removed. Some other changes and additions include [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] vans parked outside the mall, a cruiser ship and sailboats appearing in the harbor outside of the mall, and the music being remade for the game. The course's music was also used for the reveal trailer of the DLC. This is the only course in the Booster Course Pass to feature [[Noki]]s, likely due to the mall being heavily influenced by ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in its original appearance.
-Inside the mall, the first shortcut is once again a shortcut that requires a speed boost to utilize, though its extension is no longer off-road and does not require any further boosts to execute. At the turn after the second pair of conveyor belts, there is a large mural of a landscape resembling an aboveground level from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', featuring [[? Block]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, [[Empty Block]]s, and [[Warp Pipe]]s. The Coco Burger restaurant before the turn into the Glide Ramp now features a sign reading "Food Park" above it. On the glide ramp, the "Have a nice day!" sign has been removed.

On the glide ramp, the "Have a nice day!" sign has been removed.
 The section at the end with the moving cars also has a few changes. Like the ''Mario Kart 7'' version, there are only two cars, but this time they are occupied by two [[Shy Guy]]s instead of Miis. When the track was initially released, instead of moving around, the cars simply sat in one position while facing diagonally towards the racers, rather than sideways. They also no longer spun out anyone that hit them, instead simply acting as a wall that could be bumped into,<ref>kart_tour (March 17, 2022).

''Twitter''. Retrieved March 17, 2022.</ref> unless hit with a [[Super Horn]], Star, or [[Bullet Bill]], in which case the cars would fly into the air. While it is unknown why the cars were changed to behave like this initially, it was changed in the version 2.1.0 update; they are still positioned diagonally, but now move forwards and backwards slightly, in addition to occasionally performing a doughnut maneuver, which will spin out racers who come in contact with them like in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. However, this does not apply to Time Trials, as the cars will remain still in that mode, likely to avoid interfering with staff ghosts and records from before the update.

-*In the original ''Mario Kart Wii'' version of the course, the Dash Panels are rainbow-colored, similar to the versions seen in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', whereas every other track in the game uses a pink-yellow-orange coloration. However, in early trailers for the game, it was shown that other courses originally had rainbow Dash Panels.<ref>IGN (May 21, 2011).
