The racecourse is simply a huge oval (much like [[GCN Baby Park|Baby Park]], but longer and larger in width) with many ramps and [[mud]] spots, much like race tracks in the original ''Excitebike''. Signs featuring the Japanese & European box art for ''Excitebike'' can be seen throughout the course, as well as a large statue of an 8-bit biker sprite on one end of the track. This track is unique in the fact that the track changes every time a race starts. There are many different segments with jumps, ramps and mud spots that can change position and height; according to ''Mario Kart 8'' director Kosuke Yabuki, there are over 200 different patterns of such elements.<ref>GameSpot.
