Toad's Factory is the fourth and last track of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart Wii. This track has yet to make a retro appearance.

As its name implies, the track takes place on a factory with conveyor belts, Crushers and crates. This track belongs to Toad.

Layout

Some racers racing through the conveyor section.

Being a Factory, this track features many conveyor belts and dangerous machines that try to squish racers. The Item Boxes for the rest of the games, which start out as regular crates, are made here using the machines shown on the right. There are also some pads that go in a certain direction. These pads try to force the racers to go in its direction. Near the Finish Line, there is a large mud pit that it is recommended to boost through.

Racers start just outside the entrance to the factory, with the Start/Finish Line banner featuring Two icons of Toad (as it is his course). After the entrance is a right turn that leads to a long straightaway with three conveyor belts, with the middle one going forward and the conveyor belts on the sides going backward. However, these conveyor belts are a target by Crushers, which squish racers like Thwomps if they crush successfully. There are two normal roads that are the safest as they feature no Crushers above. After another right turn and a ramp. Racers are sent outside of the building and are greeted by multiple conveyor belts that go either left or right. These conveyor belts can hold Crates and even Item Boxes. Another Toad icon can be seen holding an Item Box just above the entrance to the second indoor section.

The second indoor section in the factory starts off with a right u-turn. There is an incline shortly after, which leads racers to a section consisting of a 225-degree turn with two curved conveyor belts, with the one on the outside bend going forward and the other going backwards. Then there is a left turn under red lighting. A Dash Panel ramp sends racers out of the factory and into a dirt path.

This dirt section features mud on the outside, a short straightaway with many bumps and a lake used as a shortcut. The final right turn leads racers to another straightaway which is covered in mud. Lucky enough, racers can use the Dash Panels scattered throughout this section to pas this section no problem, and there is even a Dash Panel ramp in the middle very close to the Finish Line. Also, this section is bordered by yellow half-pipes held by giant bulldozers, but they aren't actual half-pipes and they just act as barriers.

Competitions

• The 1st competition of January 2009 took place on this course. It was a Time Trial around the course backward. Additional ramps where added, otherwise it would be impossible to drive through the course backward. This competition was repeated as the first competition of January 2011.

Shortcuts

• After players exit the factory tunnel, players can jump over the lake using a Mushroom. You have to do a trick too, or you won't make it. If you use a Mushroom but don't trick off the bump, you might as well go for a swim.
• On the last conveyor belt, wait for a box to just nearly fall off. clip off it and you should land at the u-turn with conveyor belts. Note: This trick is easier to perform in Time Trials, as the boxes are unbreakable.

Trivia!

• This is only the second track in the series that belongs to Toad, the first one being Toad's Turnpike from Mario Kart 64, the third being Toad Circuit from Mario Kart 7 and the final one being Toad Harbor in Mario Kart 8.
• In Time Trial mode, the item boxes on the moving conveyor belts are replaced by unbreakable metal boxes.
• For some strange reason, the music restarts after the player exits the factory tunnel. This doesn't happen in the January 2009 1st competition for this course. However, this makes this track one of only two tracks in Mario Kart Wii to have the final lap music start at the exact point as where it starts at the beginning of the race, the other one being SNES Ghost Valley 2.
