Sky Garden is the second track of the Lightning Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. This track makes a retro appearance in Mario Kart DS as the third track of the Lightning Cup, in Mario Kart Tour as of Sky Tour, and in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of Wave 1 of the Booster Course Pass DLC, as the third track of the Lucky Cat Cup.

As its name implies, the track takes place high up the clouds with vegetation in it, which mainly consists of stalks.

Layout[]

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[]

The track is in the sky and is cloud-themed. On the sides of the tracks are tan-colored clouds which slow down the kart and may save one from falling off. Some jump pads can be seen here, and one of them allows players to pick up an Item Box. Vines are shown growing from underneath. The vines do not affect the racer other than stopping them as if they ran into a wall. These can be avoided as they are only at the edges of the course. There are many shortcuts here by cutting through clouds from ramps but are only possible by using one or two Mushrooms. You can still try them, but good luck making the jump. The one with the most impact is to use a Mushroom when going on the first small ramp which can save up to seven seconds of time.

Mario Kart DS[]

This track returns in Mario Kart DS. It retains most of its layout from the original game. The ultra shortcut is still there but must be placed after the ramp and not on the ramp.

Mission Information
  • 6-5: Peach must drive through 8 gates in order.

Mario Kart Tour[]

This track returns in Mario Kart Tour as part of the Sky Tour. Its layout has been drastically changed to remove most (if not all) of the sharp turns due to Tour's control making it nearly impossible to make those turns. The turquoise cobblestone path has been changed to a gray stone path, and the tan clouds have been replaced with white clouds. The first vine bridge has been replaced with a Trampoline Mushroom, and the final straightaway has been replaced with a gliding section.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[]

This track returns in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as DLC. Its layout is lifted directly from the version in Tour, but with different textures (e.g. the gray stone path being replaced with a red-orange brick path).

Trivia![]

  • This track is one of the rare Super Circuit tracks which is able to be shrunk in order to fit in the SNES limitations. Other tracks are usually using twice the maximum space for a Super Mario Kart track, while some others (like Ribbon Road or Rainbow Road) use the maximum SMK space, squared.
  • This track appears in the Lightning Cup twice, once in Super Circuit and then again in DS, being the only course in the Mario Kart series to appear in the same cup twice.
  • In Mario Kart DS, instead of taking the whole turn, you can cut across on a few platforms with a mushroom. Although, you can still use no mushrooms and hop over the tiny gaps. This route without a mushroom is surprisingly faster than following the original path.
  • The Japanese name of Cloudtop Cruise is the same as this track.
  • The fact that Daisy is a Staff Ghost for the Mario Kart DS version may reference how she loves flowers, and we typically find flowers in gardens. The fact that Lakitu is a Staff Ghost for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version may reference his role as an aerial unit for the Koopa Troop. The fact that Ludwig is a Staff Ghost may reference is role as the boss of the cloud world in many of the New Super Mario Bros. games.
