|Icicle Pyramid is set in a three-story ice pyramid. Gameplay-wise, it is very similar to the [[:Category:Battle Courses|Battle Course]]s of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. A racer's goal is to simply attack the other racers with from red and green [[Weapon Balloon]]s placed over the stage. A racer loses if hit by an item four times.
