| |
| '''Water Park''' is the second race track in the [[Mushroom Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. This course takes place in an amusement park/museum area with submarines that patrol the track and balloons that float out of pipes. [[Nokis]], [[Toads]], and several yachts fill the area as well. There are 30 Coins located on this track.
| |
| | |
| ==Description==
| |
| Water Park appears to be a flooded amusement park that was coincidentally water themed. Flooded hotels and roller coasters can be seen in the background, but the natives seem to have adapted to the park's flooded state. There are yachts and
| |
| boats visible in the background and the park seems to still be in operation although certain rides are no longer usable since being completely submerged, such as the Aqua Cups ride.

| ==Course layout==

| |
| The course starts at the entrance to a ride known as the Sub Coaster. After going through the entrance building, the course splits into two jumps leading into a short underwater section. It isn't long before it turns to a large anti gravity loop. On this loop, as well as before it, characters can hit the Marine Coasters and get a boost because they have [[Spin Boost]] pillars on the bottom of them. After the large loop, the track once again goes underwater leading to a curve around an Aqua Cups ride. Shortly after the turn is a gliding ramp leading to another ride called the [[Wario]] Wheel as well as the finish line behind it.{{br}}
| |
| | |
| ===Shortcuts===
| |
| Players can use a [[Mushroom]] to boost across the carousel ride instead of taking the turn around it.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The map of the course is seen on some billboards around the course, likewise with [[Rainbow Road]] and [[Yoshi Circuit]].
| |
| *The Aqua Cups ride has the merry-go-round music from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' ([[Big Boo's Haunt]]).
| |
| *This is one of five courses in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' where at least one anti-gravity zone doesn't end with a trick ramp or glider ramp, the others being [[Mario Circuit (Wii U)|Mario Circuit]], [[Twisted Mansion]], [[Rainbow Road (Wii U)|Rainbow Road]], [[Rainbow Road (N64)|<small>N64</small> Rainbow Road]], and [[Wario's Gold Mine|<small>Wii</small> Wario's Gold Mine]].
| |
| *Posters in the main lobby say the first model of the Sub Coaster was made in 1987. 1987 was the year [[Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race]] was released; the first racing game to feature Mario characters.
