'''DK Pass''' is the first course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the second course of the [[Leaf Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019 Winter Tour]]. Despite this course being named after [[Donkey Kong]], no elements themed after him aside from the [[#Sponsors|sponsors]] are present. | |||

===Course layout=== | |||
[[File:MKDSDKPass.png|thumb|left|150px|Donkey Kong races down the mountainside.]] | |||
The stage takes the player over a mountain and back down. Numerous snowballs roll around, and racers lose their item and spin backward if they crash into one. [[Snowman|Snowmen]] also appear in the course, similar to the ones in [[N64 Frappe Snowland|Frappe Snowland]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Collision with them has an identical effect as crashing into a snowball. | |||
An isolated [[Item Box]] appears up on a snowy cliff at the peak of the hill, after the second set of normal item boxes. To avoid slowing down, the player will need a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or two to get through the snow to the item box, but in it contains one of these items: [[Super Star|Star]], Mushroom, [[Triple Mushrooms]], or a [[Red Shell]]. Any of them can be received in any position, including in Wi-Fi play, but it will usually yield Triple Mushrooms or a Star. | |||
DK Pass is the only unlockable course that is shown in ''Mario Kart DS''{{'}}s instruction booklet. | |||
{{br|left}} | |||
===Missions=== | |||
There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on DK Pass: | |||
*'''Mission 4-1''': The player controls [[Wario]], who must beat [[Donkey Kong]] in a single-lap race. Each [[Item Box]] contains a, Star, Mushroom, or Triple Mushrooms. | |||
*'''Mission 5-7''': The player controls [[Toad]], who must pass through 8 gates within 45 seconds. During this mission, there are extra oncoming snowballs. | |||
Both missions involve going through the course in the opposite direction. | |||

[[File:DKPassMK7.png|thumb|left|250px|DK Pass in ''Mario Kart 7'']] | |||
DK Pass makes its classic course debut as the second course of the [[Leaf Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. All the trees in the off-road sections have been removed and some wooden ramps have been placed in the off-road area of this track, allowing players to perform a [[trick]] and gain a boost. The [[Dash Panel]] in the large jump is replaced with a [[Glide Ramp]]. Landing outside the barriers will result in an "out-of-bounds". The secret item box on the hill still holds a Mushroom, Triple Mushroom, or a Star, but will more often yield only a Mushroom than before, and no longer yields a Red Shell. Much like [[Wii DK Summit|DK Summit]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the race starts out foggy in the first two laps, but the fog clears up on the final lap. It is also now snowing throughout the race, which did not happen in the original. | |||
An extremely difficult shortcut can be performed by leaning off the log ramp on the right before the Glide Ramp, using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] and tricking to gain air time, and bypassing the cliff to the right to land behind the finish line. The player now must simply cross back over the finish line in the right direction to make the lap count.<ref>new MOMIジ (April 24, 2020).

[[File:MKT DK Pass Scene.jpg|thumb|The course in ''Mario Kart Tour'']] | |||
DK Pass reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019 Winter Tour]]. It is the first course that has served as the signature course in two tours (the 2019 Winter Tour and the [[Jungle Tour]]). A few modifications were made to the track. The tunnel at the start of the course is redesigned, being of a rounded shape. Near the end of the track, the small village was redesigned and made more visible. Similar to ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the ''Mario Kart'' logo uses a modern design instead of the classic design. Due to a lack of Stars and the Triple Mushrooms being a special item, the secret Item Box only gives normal items. From its debut up until part two of the [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019 Holiday Tour]], a [[festive tree]] is found by the small village. | |||
The course also appears as '''DK Pass R''' (reversed), '''DK Pass T''' (with ramps), and '''DK Pass R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular variant in the 2019 Winter Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Ice Tour]]. In the R/T variant, racers drive across a pair of [[Mushroom Trampoline|mushroom trampolines]]. | |||

DK Pass is the first course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart DS. It reappears in Mario Kart 7 as the second course of the Leaf Cup, and in Mario Kart Tour starting with the 2019 Winter Tour. Despite this course being named after Donkey Kong, no elements themed after him aside from the sponsors are present.
Mario Kart DS[edit]
Course layout[edit]
The stage takes the player over a mountain and back down. Numerous snowballs roll around, and racers lose their item and spin backward if they crash into one. Snowmen also appear in the course, similar to the ones in Frappe Snowland in Mario Kart 64. Collision with them has an identical effect as crashing into a snowball.
An isolated Item Box appears up on a snowy cliff at the peak of the hill, after the second set of normal item boxes. To avoid slowing down, the player will need a Mushroom or two to get through the snow to the item box, but in it contains one of these items: Star, Mushroom, Triple Mushrooms, or a Red Shell. Any of them can be received in any position, including in Wi-Fi play, but it will usually yield Triple Mushrooms or a Star.
DK Pass is the only unlockable course that is shown in Mario Kart DS's instruction booklet.
Missions[edit]
There are two missions that take place on DK Pass:
- Mission 4-1: The player controls Wario, who must beat Donkey Kong in a single-lap race. Each Item Box contains a, Star, Mushroom, or Triple Mushrooms.
- Mission 5-7: The player controls Toad, who must pass through 8 gates within 45 seconds. During this mission, there are extra oncoming snowballs.
Both missions involve going through the course in the opposite direction.
Staff ghost[edit]
The staff ghost on this course is 2:14:607 using Donkey Kong in the Wildlife.
Mario Kart 7[edit]
DK Pass makes its classic course debut as the second course of the Leaf Cup in Mario Kart 7. All the trees in the off-road sections have been removed and some wooden ramps have been placed in the off-road area of this track, allowing players to perform a trick and gain a boost. The Dash Panel in the large jump is replaced with a Glide Ramp. Landing outside the barriers will result in an "out-of-bounds". The secret item box on the hill still holds a Mushroom, Triple Mushroom, or a Star, but will more often yield only a Mushroom than before, and no longer yields a Red Shell. Much like DK Summit from Mario Kart Wii, the race starts out foggy in the first two laps, but the fog clears up on the final lap. It is also now snowing throughout the race, which did not happen in the original.
An extremely difficult shortcut can be performed by leaning off the log ramp on the right before the Glide Ramp, using a Mushroom and tricking to gain air time, and bypassing the cliff to the right to land behind the finish line. The player now must simply cross back over the finish line in the right direction to make the lap count.[1]
DK Pass is the only course in Mario Kart 7's Leaf Cup that does not appear in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
DK Pass reappears in Mario Kart Tour, debuting in the 2019 Winter Tour. It is the first course that has served as the signature course in two tours (the 2019 Winter Tour and the Jungle Tour). A few modifications were made to the track. The tunnel at the start of the course is redesigned, being of a rounded shape. Near the end of the track, the small village was redesigned and made more visible. Similar to Mario Kart 8, the Mario Kart logo uses a modern design instead of the classic design. Due to a lack of Stars and the Triple Mushrooms being a special item, the secret Item Box only gives normal items. From its debut up until part two of the 2019 Holiday Tour, a festive tree is found by the small village.
The course also appears as DK Pass R (reversed), DK Pass T (with ramps), and DK Pass R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular variant in the 2019 Winter Tour, while the latter debuted in the Ice Tour. In the R/T variant, racers drive across a pair of mushroom trampolines.

Profiles[edit]
Mario Kart DS[edit]
- Website bios:
"Covered with snow and ice, DK Pass is as dangerous as it gets. Tight turns and runaway snowballs make for nail-biting fun on DK's home turf."
"Brr, it's chilly in them thar hills... Pack your winter woollies through for this sub-zero speed through snow-capped peaks, as you dodge rolling snowballs and negotiate rows of rock-solid snowmen that bring your kart to an abrupt halt. Keep moving or your engine might freeze up..."
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
- Mario Kart Tour Twitter: "As soon as the race begins, the once-peaceful slopes of DK Pass transform into a fighting frenzy for first place! Grab your kart and hit the hill in #MarioKartTour!"[6]
