'''Pipe Plaza''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' that takes place in a simple square-shaped plaza surrounded by a tall brick wall. It was later added as a retro battle course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
[[File:PipePlazaLogo-MKDD.png|thumb|left|120px|The course logo]]
'''Pipe Plaza''' is a [[Battle Mode]] course selectable in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and reincluded in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. There are a total of four [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] for the drivers to warp between a lower ground to an upper wire mesh area or vice versa with the plaza being in a field of grass with large pipes coming out of the ground. There are a few [[Item Box]]es around the course. Otherwise, it is as simplistic as the other battle courses of ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. In ''Mario Kart DS'' it is one of the smaller courses like [[Nintendo DS (battle course)|Nintendo DS]] or [[Tart Top]], giving out more havoc and smaller ranged attacks. In ''Mario Kart DS'', it uses the same music as every other battle course. The same also applies to [[Block Fort]], a battle course from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. {{br|left}}


==''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''==
In Mission 3-5 in ''Mario Kart DS'', entering the pipe at the upper left corner will spawn Yoshi at the pipe at the bottom right corner. This is likely to make getting to Gate 5 easier.
The course consists of a plaza in a field of grass with pipes coming out of the ground. On one of the sides of the plaza, the wall is much taller and there is a total of four large [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], which allow drivers to warp between the lower ground and an upper wire mesh area. Entering a pipe on the lower level will warp the player to the pipe on the upper level on the same side, but entering a pipe on the upper level will warp the player to the pipe on the lower level on the opposite side. There are also two ramps which connect the wire mesh area and the plaza, with some posts on both sides of each ramp. Some walls that are mostly made of wire mesh prevent players from driving underneath the ramps. [[Item Box]]es can be found both on the upper level and lower level, though a few of them float in midair and require the player to fall off of the upper area to reach them.


In this version, there is an animation glitch: if [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] is in the back of the kart and she is hit by a fireball that knocks her into one of the pipes, her "getting burnt" animation will continue until she is hit again or until the battle finishes.
==Glitches==
 
*In the GameCube version, there is an animation glitch: if [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] is in the back of the kart and she is hit by a fireball that knocks her into one of the pipes, her "getting burnt" animation will continue until she is hit again or until the battle finishes.
==''Mario Kart DS''==
*In the DS version, if two players enter a pipe at the same time as each other, one player will be warped as normal, but the other will end up falling out of bounds and will be brought back by [[Lakitu]].
[[File:Pipe Plaza.png|thumb]]
*In the DS version, due to a glitch, it is possible to fall off the track when getting hit by an item such as a shell or a [[Bob-omb]] at the right moment while driving through one of the pipes.
The stage returns in ''Mario Kart DS'' as one of the smaller courses comparable to [[Nintendo DS (battle course)|Nintendo DS]] or [[Tart Top]], providing additional havoc. The course largely functions the same as it did in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', though the midair Item Boxes and the posts on the sides of each ramp are now gone. There are also some visual changes, most notably the brick wall using a completely different color palette and having a much simpler shape. The course uses the same music as every other battle course, and also does not assign it the "GCN" prefix. The same also applies to [[Block Fort]], a battle course from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Despite both Pipe Plaza and Block Fort being [[Classic course|retro course]]s, they are the only ones in ''Mario Kart DS'' to not have a prefix in its name.
 
In Shine Runners, there are nine possible spawning locations for the [[Shine Sprite]]s, with six located on ground level and three more on the wire mesh area.
 
There are two glitches in this version that impact gameplay: If two players enter a pipe at the same time as each other, one player will be warped as normal, but the other will end up falling out of bounds and will be brought back by [[Lakitu]]. Also, it is possible to fall off the track when getting hit by an item such as a shell or a [[Bob-omb]] at the right moment while driving through one of the pipes.
 
===Missions===
There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Pipe Plaza:
*'''Mission 3-5''': The player controls [[Yoshi]], who must pass through 8 gates within 45 seconds.
