'''Yoshi Valley''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is [[Yoshi]]'s home track | '''Yoshi Valley''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is [[Yoshi]]'s home track of the game. It takes place over a canyon, and there are many twists and turns. The map modes that show the player icons making circuits around the screen relative to their positions seem to work fine; however, due to how complicated the maze is, the players' mugshots are just replaced with question marks regardless of what HUD mode is used. Their positions are revealed only at the end of the race. There are also several [[Porcupo|porcupine]]s that can disable turning and slow racers down for 1.5 seconds. Near the end of the course, there is a rotating [[Giant Egg]] that can easily flatten any player, disabling their movement for about five seconds. It shares its music with [[N64 Moo Moo Farm|Moo Moo Farm]]. | ||
Yoshi Valley reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the the fourth and last course of the [[Leaf Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Yoshi Tour (2022)|2022 Yoshi Tour]]. It is also used as a battle course in ''Mario Kart 8''. | |||

The race starts in a grassy field. After a brief straightaway, racers turn left into the valley proper. The valley is a maze structured such that the path in splits once, each path splits again, and then the inner two of the resulting four paths splits for a third time, creating {{conjectural|routes 1 through 6}}, from left to right. | The race starts in a grassy field.

Once all the routes have converged, racers take a winding road with few railings that leads to a large circular area with a rotating, hazardous Giant Egg. A rope bridge leads them past the area and takes them out of the valley to the grassy area they began in, where they cross the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]]. | Once all the routes have converged, racers take a winding road with few railings that leads to a large circular area with a rotating, hazardous Giant Egg.

===Shortcuts=== | |||
When all the routes have merged into one, it is possible to use a mushroom and jump to the left, thus skipping a curve. | |||
===Glitches=== | |||
In the starting area, if the player positions themselves facing left and uses a mushroom, it is possible to jump over the fence and fall into the void. If this is done in a very specific place, it is possible to have Lakitu position the player at the finish line and count a lap.{{ref needed}} | |||

Yoshi Valley makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The valley now features a waterfall and river, and is now known as the '''Wild Yoshi Sanctuary''', a nature reserve for the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and there are now trees, flowers and bushes with [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|Fruits]] and lanterns hanging from them. Water is also added there. The starting banner is now a wooden sign with a nested green [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]] placed on top of it. There are also multicolored Yoshis throughout the track waving and jumping as spectators. Some are behind the wooden fence, with two of them on crates, and others are on the cliff tops. There is a rock structure with moss forming the head of a Green Yoshi, and there are various colored eggs within the valley. In addition, the game now properly displays current player positions, apart from a couple of minor glitches on route 5. | Yoshi Valley makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Leaf Cup]].

All of the original paths remain intact, though have been given slight changes to even out the lengths of them; the most significant being that route 6 has been turned into a [[Barrel Cannon]] with a glider segment. It is the only route to have [[Item Box]]es. Other changes include the bridge being moved from route 5 to route 1. The left turn at the end of route 5 is more flat and runs through a cave where [[Swoop]]s appear. Taking the first left upon entering the maze and then the first right now leads to route 5 instead of route 2, and route 1 is now a typical shortcut over a wooden bridge. Route 2 can only be accessed by going right, then left twice at the start of the maze, and thus is much more easily missed. The track has toned down in difficulty, and is slightly easier than the original, with the addition of guard-rails and the fact that the game now tells the players which place they are in. The giant Yoshi Egg is smaller, spins around counterclockwise instead of clockwise, has [[Coin]]s trailing behind it, and will instead knock over racers rather than flattening them. The porcupines have also been replaced with [[Goomba]]s. The Yoshis seen on the course are always in the same spots, though they sometimes change color every time the course is restarted. | All of the original paths remain intact, though have been given slight changes to even out the lengths of them; the most significant being that route 6 has been turned into a [[Barrel Cannon]] with a glider segment.

Yoshi Valley returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Yoshi Tour (2022)|2022 Yoshi Tour]]. It is the first N64 course to be included in the game since [[N64 Choco Mountain]] in the [[Exploration Tour (2020)|2020 Exploration Tour]] forty-five tours prior. Like [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]], [[N64 Royal Raceway]], and [[GCN Baby Park]], it mostly takes on the appearance of its ''Mario Kart 8'' iteration. The course features a different starting line design compared to ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', and the nest on the starting line now features some leaves on it. A cliff and some more Yoshi spectators have been added near the starting line. The time of day has also been changed from evening to early morning (also applies to [[GBA Yoshi Desert]] and [[DS Airship Fortress]]). Route 1 was made much wider and now has guardrails. Two logs have been added to route 6. Two [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]]s have been added at the loop after racers pass through the split paths, making this the first classic course in the game that is not present in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' to have half-pipes. The fence at the area with the Giant Egg is now colored white, and bushes appear under it. Hot-air balloons themed after Yoshi are also added above the track as decorations. The Wild Yoshi Sanctuary signs present on the course now use 2D artwork of Yoshi instead of 3D artwork. Despite using its ''Mario Kart 8'' appearance, this course uses the original version of its music from ''Mario Kart 64''. The minimap also now matches its orientation from ''64'', as opposed to the ''8'' version. | Yoshi Valley returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Yoshi Tour (2022)|2022 Yoshi Tour]].

This course also appears as '''Yoshi Valley R''' (reversed), '''Yoshi Valley T''' (with ramps), and '''Yoshi Valley R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the [[Yoshi Tour (2022)|2022 Yoshi Tour]], while the latter was introduced in the [[Yoshi Tour (2023)|2023 Yoshi Tour]]. In the T variant, racers drive across several [[Mushroom Trampoline|mushroom trampolines]], including a blue one, and are only able to take one route. In the R/T variant, racers drive along multiple of the maze's routes on each lap, extending the length of the course. | This course also appears as '''Yoshi Valley R''' (reversed), '''Yoshi Valley T''' (with ramps), and '''Yoshi Valley R/T''' (reversed with ramps).
