Mushroom Bridge is the first track of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. This track makes a retro appearance in Mario Kart DS as the last track of the Leaf Cup, and in Mario Kart Tour as of the 2023 Mii Tour.

As its name implies, the track takes place at a town with the titular giant red bridge standing out near the end of the track. This track is filled with traffic.

Layout

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

The bridge is very ornate and beautiful. It is similar to Mushroom City, only during the day and with fewer buildings. The background music is reused in Mushroom City. This track has traffic consisting of red and blue cars, Bob-omb Cars, Mushroom Cars, trucks, buses, and Wiggler Buses. The traffic also reappears in Mushroom City.

Racers start on the right of the road, just in front of the titular bridge. The track starts with a wide left turn that takes them through a tunnel with blue lighting. After the tunnel is the last portion of the left turn, where a Mushroom village can be seen. There is even a shortcut that goes through the village, but it starts off with sand. The track continues with a sharp right turn, leading racers to a straightaway that leads to the second tunnel, which has red lighting. Another wide left turn takes the racers out of the tunnel, and then they approach a long straightaway to the Finish Line that involves going through Mushroom Bridge. Strangely enough, racers can ride the bridge's rails, and that way it's actually quite rewarding.

Mario Kart DS

This track returns in Mario Kart DS as the fourth and last race of the Leaf Cup with many of the shortcuts and alternate routes taken out. Also, it uses all of the traffic vehicles that appeared in Shroom Ridge, meaning that there are no Bob-omb Cars, Mushroom Cars and Wiggler Buses like before.

Mission Information

• 5-5: Mario must complete one lap in the opposite direction in the time limit.
• 7-Boss: Mario must race against a giant Wiggler within 3 laps.

Mario Kart Tour

After a 18 year hiatus, Mushroom Bridge returned to Mario Kart Tour in the 2023 Mii Tour. It reuses its iteration from Double Dash!!, albeit improved graphics. Also, there are now coins scattered around the track. Another feature in this track is that the sidewalks after the first tunnel are guardrailed, and in the sidewalks quite a lot of coins can be found.

Shortcuts

• At the beginning of the race, turn right and go down a little crevice. There is a pipe that will take you to the main road after hitting a Double Item Box.^{✱ for MKDD}
• After the first tunnel, use a Mushroom to go through the sand on the hill to the right.^{✱ for all games}
• After the second tunnel, drive on the top of the left or right bridge rail.^{✱ for MKDD}
