(Slight rewrite. The article has been missing an opening abstract for so long, so I decided to move some info to compensate for this. Additionally, I consulted the use of the "noclip" website to rewrite and fully document its Mario Kart DS appearance, now also including Shine Runners spawn locations.) |

Twilight House is a battle course modeled after a 3x3 square grid in layout, featuring eight wide rooms surrounded by a narrow balcony in addition to an inaccessible center. The center, eastern and southeastern rooms make up the actual house, with a connected roof and three [[Item Box]]es inside. A good majority of these rooms are set outdoors, fenced off by brick walls with different openings leading to the balcony or to other rooms. These rooms also contain item boxes with the exception of the northeastern room. Finally, the northwestern room features a spacious, castle-like structure with entrances | Twilight House is a battle course modeled after a 3x3 square grid in layout, featuring eight wide rooms surrounded by a narrow balcony in addition to an inaccessible center.

Its four corners feature small square-shaped areas, each of which features an Item Box. Notably, a dark [[Shine Sprite]] motif can be seen throughout this track, both on the archway designs and as emblems decorating some of the track's walls; the latter is much more prominent on the northwestern room which features large, dark Shine Sprite emblems above its entrances. | ||

Four of these are located in rooms on each corner of the battle course, while four more are located on the center portions of each side of the narrow balcony. | In [[Shine Runners]], there are eight possible spawning locations for the Shine Sprites.
