'''Dragon Palace''' is a battle course that appears as one of the new maps in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is Chinese themed, similar to [[Dragon Driftway]]. At the center of the course there is a courtyard, resembling a {{wp|Siheyuan}}. Two statues of dragons resembling [[Gobblegut]] are at the center. [[Koopa Troopa]]s can be seen practicing kungfu and chanting.  Racers can access the pagoda, by using the path around the pagoda, or by breaking through the screen doors. Inside the pagoda is a circular room and stairs to access the second floor, which leads to a ramp where the players can drop down to the first floor. The music of the stage is slightly remixed from Dragon Driftway.<ref>Nintendo World Report, (March 10, 2017).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CTEe4-8XzE Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Dragon Palace Coin Runners (PAX EAST 2017)] Retrieved March 11, 2017. </ref> In the courtyard area, vocal calls can be heard being made in time with the music.

==Trivia==
*The shouts heard in Dragon Palace's music while outside are taken from the ''[[wikipedia:Wii Fit Plus|Wii Fit Plus]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Wii Fit U|Wii Fit U]]'' minigame "Rhythm Kung Fu", where [[Mii]]s make these sounds in sync with the music while performing kung fu poses.
*The bilboard over the courtyard's scond floor is written 「朱盖木」"''Zhūgàimù''" in Simplified Chinese, which is [[Lakitu]]'s name in that language.
