'''DK Mountain''' is the fourth and final race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The course takes place along two volcanoes in the middle of the jungle. The center of the track is a giant [[Barrel Cannon]] that shoots racers to the upper part of an active volcano. The course itself is complex, containing several curly paths, dangerous, tight turns and an uneven ground where [[drift]]ing is difficult to control. | '''DK Mountain''' is the fourth and final race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.

DK Mountain makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]]. Some elements were added, such as ramps and mud to replace deep grass. Also, the sign that says "Donkey Cannon" in ''Double Dash!!'' now says "DK Cannon", in line with [[Wii DK Summit|DK Summit]]. The straight line denoting players being fired out of the cannon was removed from the minimap, likely to match the three new courses in the game with cannons (DK Summit, [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]], and [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]). The straightaway down from the top of the mountain now has wooden ramps for the purpose of aerial [[trick]]s. Racers can also either stay on track or go off-road without losing speed, granting an advantage to avoid other racers and hazards set in the slope. | DK Mountain makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]].

DK Mountain returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Animal Tour]]. The course retains its appearance from ''Mario Kart Wii'', albeit with updated graphics. The "DK" letters on the left side of the cannon have been removed, and a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] has been added before the cannon. Whereas in previous games where racers would land slightly to the left of the head of the volcano, racers now land slightly more to the right of it instead. After the road was previously widened in ''Mario Kart Wii'' at the chasm section of the course, it has now been widened out further to remove the broken portion entirely. The wooden bridge now has strings on both sides and shakes periodically providing tricks, similar to the road on [[SNES Rainbow Road]], and many trees are now decorated with large bananas. Like with {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}, {{classic-link|GBA|Cheese Land}}, and {{classic-link|GBA|Ribbon Road}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] banner uses the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo, rather than the classic logo; it is the only classic course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' from the first four ''Mario Kart'' games to not use the classic logo. | DK Mountain returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Animal Tour]].

DK Mountain returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as part of the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC. It appears as the second course of the [[Acorn Cup]]. The course is based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with graphical enhancements - most notably, the land surrounding the track has quite a bit more detail, with distant jungle canopies added. [[DK Barrel]]s have been added throughout the course. The cannon regains the "DK" letters on its side, as well as the wooden support beams holding it up. A Condor nest was added on a small cliff to the right of the head of the volcano. The wooden ramps were replaced by stone ramps included directly in the road; the third now has some DK Barrels scattered along it, and if tricked off properly, can lead racers to driving on the elevated mountain rock briefly, which in turn can also lead to a small shortcut. The volcano now has a flame-like appearance on its face. A wall now extends along a small part of the final chasm, weakening the shortcut possible there in ''Double Dash!!'' and ''Wii''; however, the gap can still be jumped further down. The ropes along the sides of the bridge added in ''Mario Kart Tour'' have been removed, though it retains its waving trickable properties. The final two switchbacks before the bridge have been remodeled to raise up slightly, akin to the final turn of {{classic-link|GBA|Sunset Wilds}}. The updated music now features the middle verse backed by a flute and a more audible bass line while jungle ambience starts playing in the background of the last verse before the loop. | |||
