'''Block City''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is rather simplistic, simply being a huge square with four block pillars (one of which includes a narrow shortcut with a double item box) and some edges; it is seemingly based on and named after [[Block Fort]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. In each of this stage's corners, there are several [[Item Box]]es.
