'''Rock Rock Mountain''' (known as '''Alpine Pass''' in the British English version) is the fourth and last race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It takes place on a mountain with pipes and a forest. A part of this course's music rearranges the title theme from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game ''{{wp|Mach Rider}}'', while a rearrangement of the game's main menu theme can be heard right before the song loops.

The first part of the track takes place on a mountainous cliff with steep drops on the left side, and in a cave with [[Swoop]]s. The second part of the track takes place in a mountainous forest, with huge gliding sections aplenty. The final section of the track takes place on a mountainside with rolling rocks falling down serving as obstacles. There are many [[Dash Panel]]s in this section that lie in the boulders' path.

Along with [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] and [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]], this course was playable in demo versions of ''Mario Kart 7''.

Rock Rock Mountain returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[New York Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Rock Cup]] in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]].

==''Mario Kart 7''==
===Course layout===
[[File:RockRockMountainRaceStart.jpg|thumb|left|The start of the track]]
The track starts on a curvy cliff road on the side of a mountain, with a trick ramp nestled along the edge right before the second turn. The road leads to a cave in the mountain with [[Swoop]]s flying and columns blocking the way. After exiting the cave there is a sharp downhill bridge ending in a [[Glide Ramp]] through a valley. Pipes serve as obstacles that must be dodged while gliding down. One of the pipes blows air, starting in the second lap. Racers land in the forest, driving through trees and felled trunks before entering a second, but smaller, gliding section. The road then turns to the right, and into a steep uphill climb up the mountain past rolling rocks and [[Dash Panel]]s. At the top of the mountain is a glider ramp, leading to the finish line.

When the player crosses the finish line, beginning the next lap, [[Lakitu]] is shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs.

If the player goes to the right side of the forest after the second glider section, they will find a tree without leaves, possibly a mistake by the developers. There are a few more trees without leaves to the left at the end of the forest; all but one of the trees are shown with leaves on the map.

When racing online, only one of the pipes blows air on the third lap, and the second coin ring in the air is removed.

====Shortcuts====
After the second glider it is possible to cut through the grass only with one mushroom, and the first turn is cuttable with the Peach Parasol or the Flower Glider, as they can rise higher in the air.  On time trials it is also possible to use a mushroom in the air to skip the windy cliffs at the start.

==''Mario Kart Tour''==

Rock Rock Mountain reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]], alongside [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]] and many other classic courses<!--DO NOT ADD THE LIST OF CLASSIC COURSES HERE, THE LIST IS TOO LONG, CREATING WALLS OF LINKS. ALSO, THE COURSES ADDED IN THE TOUR ARE ALREADY LISTED IN THE NEW YORK TOUR'S ARTICLE.-->. Rock Rock Mountain is the only ''Mario Kart 7'' course introduced in the New York Tour to not be from that game's [[Mushroom Cup]]. Here, the course received some changes. The mountain is now a tan color, instead of a dark gray. The ramp inside the second turn was removed. The glide ramp after the cave now resembles the T variation ramps. This course is a favorite of [[Yoshi]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Waluigi]], [[Shy Guy|Light-blue Shy Guy]], [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Reindeer)]], [[Toadette|Toadette (Explorer)]], [[Mario|Mario (Aviator)]], [[Wario|Wario (Hiker)]], and [[Meowser]]. It is also a favorite of [[Mario|Mario (Happi)]] if he reaches level 3 and [[Penguin Mario|Penguin Luigi]] if he reaches level 6.

As with each course in the game, Rock Rock Mountain has a reverse variant and a trick variant, known as '''Rock Rock Mountain R''' and '''Rock Rock Mountain T''' respectively. The trick version of Rock Rock Mountain is one of four courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' that does not start in the same place as the original, the others being [[3DS Rainbow Road]] T and R/T, and [[Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway R/T]]. In this case, the starting line is now midway through the forest after the first Glide Ramp.

It is the only course among those that have appeared since launch that has yet to receive an R/T variation.

For this course's tour appearances, see [[List of 3DS Rock Rock Mountain tour appearances in Mario Kart Tour|List of 3DS Rock Rock Mountain tour appearances in ''Mario Kart Tour'']].

==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
{{new subject|DLC wave|section=y}}
[[File:MK8-Course-3DS RockRockMountain.jpg|300px|thumb|right|View of the course]]
Rock Rock Mountain returns again in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] downloadable content. It appears as the third course of the [[Rock Cup]], and as such was added in the third wave of the pass. It is based on its design from ''Mario Kart Tour'', only with numerous visual upgrades. The big slope at the end of the track now uses anti-gravity, with [[Spin Boost Pillar|Spin Boost Pillars]] replacing some of the Dash Panels.

Rock Rock Mountain is one of two courses to originate from ''Mario Kart 7'' to appear in the third wave of the DLC, alongside {{classic-link|3DS|Rainbow Road}}. Since ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' supports  British English, unlike ''Mario Kart Tour'', this course is once again referred to as "Alpine Pass" when the Nintendo Switch console region is set to Europe or Australia/New Zealand, making it the only course in the Booster Course Pass so far to have a different English name.

Internally, {{classic|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}} was referred to as "Cnsw_34" in version 2.1.0, implying it may have originally been intended to be the last course of the Rock Cup.
