Excluding courses released simultaneously, this course and [[Squeaky Clean Sprint]] mark the shortest period of time between the release of two new courses for the ''Mario Kart'' series, with only a 5-hour gap.

The beginning of the music references the chiptune sound effect Warp Pipes make, except slowed to match the tempo.
The music for this course contains an arrangement of a portion of [[3DS Piranha Plant Slide]]'s music. The beginning of the music also references the chiptune sound effect Warp Pipes make, except slowed to match the tempo.


This course was the final new "non-city" track added to ''Tour'' first, as while Squeaky Clean Sprint also came to ''Tour'' and was left unlabeled as a new course, it was added to ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' first. Piranha Plant Pipeline is the only new course originating from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not appear in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''. Since it does not appear outside of ''Mario Kart Tour'', it is the only course in the series that is completely unplayable outside of the two-week period of the Pipe Tour in which it was available.
==Course layout==
==Course layout==
Racers start outside, in a mountainous, wooded environment. Going in a straight line, they enter a [[Warp Pipe]] and enter the pipe system. Racers continue driving forwards before approaching a wide left turn lined with a [[half-pipe]]. The pipe then serpentines, with every bend having its own half-pipe. Then, racers drive off of a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] and may go through one of two pipes; a red one or a blue one. The red pipe takes racers to two right-angled left turns before taking them into a bendy white, transparent tunnel. The blue route makes racers go round a large right turn, before overlapping, and eventually taking racers on top of a moving green pipe that goes below the previously mentioned white tunnel. The white tunnel and the green pipe shortly take racers back to their respective red or blue pipes, before both routes meet up again in an orange section containing [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], [[Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Sidestepper]]s. Racers enter an underwater section before taking a large left turn, and finally leaving the pipes and returning outside, before driving down a brief straightaway to the finish line.

This course also appears as '''Piranha Plant Pipeline R''' (reversed), '''Piranha Plant Pipeline T''' (with ramps), and '''Piranha Plant Pipeline R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In all three variants, the Sidesteppers are gone. In the T variant, the Fuzzies are also gone, and racers are forced to take the red path on lap 1 and the blue path on lap 2. In the R/T variant, the Piranha Plants in the orange section are gone, the moving green pipe is also gone, and there is a glide ramp at the end of the green section.
This course also appears as '''Piranha Plant Pipeline R''', '''Piranha Plant Pipeline T''' and '''Piranha Plant Pipeline R/T'''. The R/T variant takes racers outside the pipes into the caverns.

==Trivia==
*Although the course does not appear in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', internal data in the 2.0.0 update included prefixes for all courses in the pass. In Wave 6, there were three courses assigned with no prefix - indicating either new courses or non-city courses introduced in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. In the final release of Wave 6, however, only one course lacks a prefix, [[Piranha Plant Cove]]. Another was replaced by {{classic-link|Wii|Moonview Highway}} and the third was replaced with {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}}. The presence of multiple prefixless slots indicates that Piranha Plant Pipeline was originally set to appear in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
*The first four seconds of the music for this course sample the sound that plays when Mario enters a Warp Pipe in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', albeit slowed down to 1/5th of the speed.
