GCN Peach Beach: Difference between revisions

The race course starts out at a cobbled street that looks like [[Delfino Plaza]] next to the [[Grand Pianta Statue]]. When entering the beach in a [[Ricco Harbor]]-like area, the [[Daisy Cruiser]] (whose [[GCN Daisy Cruiser|course]] shares the same music) can be seen in the background (though the cruise line ship is missing if the game is played via split-screen mode in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''), as well as the [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Sunshine|Sunshine]] docked in the harbor. Also, the Grand Pianta Statue fountain is replaced by a huge [[Power Star]] in Split-screen mode. While racing on the beach, wandering [[Cataquack]]s of four different colors charge at the racer if they go near them. The final stretch takes place on a path similar to those at [[Bianco Hills]], and if the player turns left into the square where the fountain is right before the finish line, they find Item Boxes before a sharp turn back to the course. The Award Ceremony at the end of every cup in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is carried out here.

Peach Beach returns in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]], where it has received a few changes. [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Shy Guy]]s can be seen on the deck of ''The Sunshine'' cheering (only in single player mode), and there are more umbrellas over the spectators on land. The biggest difference is that the pipe with the double items in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is no longer present in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Another difference is the boost ramp and item boxes in the area behind the colored crates at the end of the dock. The Cataquacks still appear, though the blue one wandering around the first tidal area was replaced with another green one. They also appear in Time Trials, though they do not target the player. There are also more Piantas in the audience, and the course's map has been changed. Computer players may also now take the left path of the beach.
