'''Yoshi Falls''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', serving as the second track of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. The track is located in a crater-like valley, circling a lake with three waterfalls connected to the body of water, crossing the track. A large [[Yoshi Egg]] is found in the center of the lake. Numerous [[Dash Panel]]s are located at some places along the course. Bridges do provide a safer way to pass, as opposed to going through the waterfall rapids, which is a risk due to being able to be pushed off the edge. Yoshi Falls returns in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as a retro course, and it is the second course of the [[Shell Cup]].

Yoshi Falls is one of the shortest courses in ''Mario Kart DS'', along with other quite short tracks such as {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}, {{classic-link|N64|Moo Moo Farm}}, {{classic-link|GBA|Peach Circuit}} and {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 1}}. It is the shortest nitro course in the game. In ''Mario Kart DS'', Yoshi Falls was one of the available courses via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] before the service ended in May 2014. The course's layout is similar to [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]] from ''Mario Kart Wii''.

Racers start far from the edge of the cliff and are protected by a wooden bar. As they go forward, they can take either the upper half of the track or the lower half, taking advantage of the faster path but also being vulnerable to falling off or being pushed off by the rapids crossing the path. The upper level, however, has a bridge to cross safely over the waters, and handy [[Item Box]]es. Racers then must take the second bridge, also containing Item Boxes. The stream of the second rapid down the bridge is more powerful, so it is more likely that racers will fall off crossing it. Certain items, such as a [[Super Star|Star]], mitigate the effects of the rapids. Briefly, past the second bridge, characters can run over Dash Panels in the upper half, while the lower half has none of these speed boosters. Some Item Boxes appear down the third bridge, unlike the upper stretch, which does not have any. Once racers have passed the third bridge, there are more Dash Panels on the upper half of the course appearing before the track ends at the finish line (with [[Lakitu]] shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs to start another lap).

In ''Mario Kart Wii'', the player can perform a trick on the ramp of the third bridge. Like in ''Mario Kart DS'', when the player crosses the finish line to begin a new lap, Lakitu is shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs.

A [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii|tournament]] in ''Mario Kart Wii'' took place on this course as the [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#July 2009 Tournament 2|July 2009 second tournament]]. It was a Wii Wheel only GP race, and [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s were added as a shortcut for racers to get around.
