 [[File:MKDS Waluigi Pinball Course Icon.png|left|frame|The course icon]]
 Soon after the countdown ends and the race begins, the kart drivers are launched into the pinball machine. After that, the racers start a descent down the machine, encountering numerous [[Metal ball|pinball]]s on the way. Colliding with one of these causes drivers to be knocked backwards. Additionally, a racer loses any items they may be carrying. While the racers are in the pinball launcher, they are immune to all items, including [[Lightning]]. Later on the track, inside the pinball table, there are [[Flipper (Mario Kart series)|flippers]] and [[Bumper (Mario Kart series)|bumpers]]. Bumpers push and speed up drivers, but flippers, when moving, can cause them to get electrocuted and spin out. This is the longest Nitro course in the game, despite being in the Flower Cup.
-This course is the only non-circuit course to share its Grand Prix introduction fanfare with [[Figure-8 Circuit]], [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]] and {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}.
+This course is the only non-circuit course to share its Grand Prix introduction fanfare with [[Figure-8 Circuit]], [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}.
 The course has several unique sound effects that evoke pinball machine scoring noises. Most of these sounds are retained in its retro course appearances in future games:

 ===Missions===
-There are two missions involving this course: 3-1 and 4-7.
+There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Waluigi Pinball:
-In mission 3-1, [[Wario]] must break 5 item boxes and in mission 4-7, [[Toad]] must drive through the 10 gates in any order. The latter is the only mission involving driving through gates to have the player drive through the gates in any order as opposed to numerical order. Both missions also take place in the pinball table.
+*'''Mission 3-1''': The player controls [[Wario]], who must hit 5 moving [[Item Box]]es within 50 seconds. Each Item Box contains a [[Super Star|Star]].
+*'''Mission 4-7''': The player controls [[Toad]], who must drive through 10 gates within 45 seconds. Unlike all other gate missions, these can be driven through in any order.
+Both missions take place on a version of the pinball table that has extra bumpers.

-Waluigi Pinball makes its [[classic course]] debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Banana Cup]], despite Waluigi not being playable in the game. The layout remained the same, but with enhanced graphics and the Dash Panels recolored to orange. The flashing starting banner now displays the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo. This is Waluigi's only representation in the game.

 The launch after the starting line now encompasses a [[Glide Ramp]], although like {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} and {{classic-link|DS|Airship Fortress}}, players cannot aim their flight. Players are also no longer immune to items while in the launcher, and being hit by anything (or stowing their glider) results in having to be rescued by [[Lakitu]]. Additionally, the glider section is now shown on the minimap. The jumps after turn 1 (with the Waluigi banner repositioned slightly to accommodate it) and after turn 6 can be used to perform a [[trick]] and gain a boost. An extra Dash Panel is added in the small drop near the circular turn that comes after the 2nd jump.

 The pinballs, bumpers, and flippers on the table behave the same way as in the DS version of the course, with the exception of the bumpers in the center of the lower part of the table rotating clockwise instead of counterclockwise. While playing local or online multiplayer, only one pinball traverses the main table as opposed to two.

-Waluigi Pinball returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' beginning in the [[Halloween Tour (2019)|2019 Halloween Tour]]. It featured a major visual upgrade. The image of Waluigi is now illustrated 2D, and his head now rotates from left to right and is surrounded by several brightly-lit buildings and large stacks of coins, the slots below them now have a Las Vegas theme to them, the bumpers have a brighter color, the flashing starting banner with the ''Mario Kart'' logo now uses the modern one albeit without the flashing red lights, and there is a new sign after the pinball launcher with Waluigi's art from ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', the track name, a metal ball, two flippers, and scrolling text below that reads "Waluigi No. 1", while the Waluigi banner at the start of the pinball machine was moved to the entrance of the pinball table. The rotating bumpers now move far more slowly. Due to the second lap being the final lap, the jingle that plays when entering the second lap in previous appearances is no longer present.
+Waluigi Pinball returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' beginning in the [[Halloween Tour (2019)|2019 Halloween Tour]]. As of the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]], the course has appeared in thirty separate tours, the most out of any course in the game (not including courses with multiple routes).

-As with other courses in the game, Waluigi Pinball has a reverse version, a trick version, and a reverse/trick version referred to as '''Waluigi Pinball R''', '''Waluigi Pinball T''' and '''Waluigi Pinball R/T''' respectively; the reverse and trick versions were introduced alongside the regular version in the 2019 Halloween Tour, while the reverse/trick version was added in the [[Valentine's Tour]].
+The course also appears as '''Waluigi Pinball R''' (reversed), '''Waluigi Pinball T''' (with ramps), and '''Waluigi Pinball R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular version in the 2019 Halloween Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Valentine's Tour]]. In the T variant, there are many ramps on the pinball table that raise and lower as time passes. In the R/T variant, the two metal balls on the lower section take a different path at the start of the race.
 The course icon for the R/T variant has an error within it. It features a trick ramp next to the red bridge despite not appearing in-game.
-As of the [[Night Tour]], the course has appeared in thirty separate tours, the most out of any course in the game (not including courses with multiple routes).

-Waluigi Pinball makes its home console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 2 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]], appearing as the fourth and final course of the [[Turnip Cup]]. The course uses its design from ''Mario Kart Tour'', albeit with enhanced graphical updates. The rotating bumpers have been reverted to a faster speed, retaining their clockwise rotation first changed in ''Mario Kart 7''.  They can also now be crashed into when using a [[Star]], flying into the air as a result. Several groups of spectators consisting of [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s have now been added in various locations outside of the track's playable area, such as the sides of the chute behind the flippers and around the stretch of road after the gap jump leading to the pinball table, and a helicopter now appears above the large image of Waluigi at the end of the course. The flippers now give off an electric particle effect after activating.

 ==Trivia==
-*Waluigi Pinball is one of three courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series to have used three different starting line logos, as it used a unique font in ''Mario Kart DS'', the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in ''Mario Kart 7'', and the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo in both ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. It shares this trait with [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]] and [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]].

Coincidentially, both are from ''Mario Kart DS'' with the other one being [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]].
-*The [[Nintendo Switch]] News feed for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' in the United Kingdom never made a post highlighting {{classic|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} or {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}, unlike every other course in the first four waves of the Booster Course Pass.

+*The earliest known version of Waluigi Pinball found in the [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unreleased courses|game files]] of ''Mario Kart DS'' is known internally as luigi_course, implying that it would have been themed after [[Luigi]].
