'''Moonview Highway''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The course takes place in and around a lit up city at night with a full moon overhead. The course seems to combine elements of previous traffic-based courses in the series, namely [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', including the course taking place in a city at night like Toad's Turnpike and Mushroom City, the beginning portion taking place along a cliff like Shroom Ridge, an arched bridge and a tunnel like Mushroom Bridge, and the inclusion of the [[Bob-omb Car]]s present in both GCN courses. | '''Moonview Highway''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

The course begins in an area with steep cliffs and many trees along | The course begins in an area with steep cliffs and many trees surrounding the track. The player first travels along the winding road of a highway that mostly lacks guard rails and is dense with traffic, including [[Car (obstacle)|cars]], [[Cargo truck|trucks]], and [[Bob-omb Car]]s. After passing the first set of [[Item Box]]es, the player has the option to drive onto some nearby cliffs, one of which has a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] [[ramp]] at the end. Additional Item Boxes can also be found along the cliffs. All paths swiftly converge and after a sharp turn to the right, the player drives over a bridge resembling that of [[Mushroom Bridge]], which contains the second and last set of Item Boxes, but no guard rail to protect players from falling off either side. It then leads into a set of toll booths that display the course's name and are controlled by the player's [[Mii]]s. Passing the toll booths will allow the player to enter the city section. The city itself is decorated with numerous signs and billboards, and if the player is playing as a [[Mii]], the face on Mario (in the moon) and Peach's face on the "The Mushroom Moon" billboard, as well as the Fire Flower on the Green Fuel billboard will have Mii faces from the player's console. | ||
The city section of the track is mostly straight with the player only needing to make two right turns. Individual Item Boxes can be found throughout this section, but they are always quickly moving. The highway itself is now four lanes, with two on each side, and fully covered by walls that show a pattern of [[Shy Guy]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] faces. Various dash panels litter the track, a few of which span the width of the entire road. The vehicles from before now move about three times as fast, and will constantly change lanes to avoid running over any dash panels. Towards the end of this section, the player enters a tunnel which has pillars in the middle of the road, serving as additional obstacles. After exiting the tunnel, the player must pass through another set of toll booths before reaching the finish line shortly after. | |||
Like in the original iteration of [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]], the traffic follows the Japanese system of driving, in which vehicles drive on the left side of the road (right side in Mirror Mode). Bob-omb Cars are also notably absent from Time Trials. | |||

April 2010's 2nd tournament required players to race through Moonview Highway, with all traffic now traveling against the player. Players started the race with a set of Triple Mushrooms. The tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of November 2011, the second tournament of January 2013, and the first tournament of April 2014. | |||

Moonview Highway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Night Tour]]; it was the penultimate classic course added to the game, as well as the final Wii course. Visually, the buildings in the city portion of the course resemble the ones in [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]]. Rather than having windows lit with different colors with an emphasis on yellow as in the original, building windows are colored in a variety of different shades, but are no longer multicolored on an individual basis. Spotlights aimed at the sky are now visible in the city portion of the course. The Mushroom Moon and Green Fuel sponsors have been recreated with 2D artwork, although Petey Piranha's cameo appearance in The Mushroom Moon has been replaced with Bowser. The course now uses the vehicles from [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 3]]. The Bob-omb Cars return and use their design from [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]]. The Miis in the tollbooths are now replaced with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s. The LED signs are now static images. The sirens heard in the city portion have been removed. The tunnel section now has fans attached to the ceiling. The course has been slightly condensed vertically, which is most noticeable with the reduced distances between the tunnel and second toll booth, and said booth and the starting line. Many [[Dash Panel|Dash Panels]] have been rearranged somewhat, though many of the original placements are retained. The chunk of offroad in the opening section of the course is now level with the main road, instead of being raised. The cars move slower and no longer speed up when they enter the city. The toll booth bars now use the same sound effect heard in [[Wii DK Summit]]. The rabbit icon marking the exits of the city has been replaced with a yellow version of the heart icon used in ''Wii''. | |||
The course also appears as '''Moonview Highway R''' (reversed), '''Moonview Highway T''' (with ramps), and '''Moonview Highway R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, Mushroom cars from {{classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}} appear on the course, some trucks have Dash Panels on them, and a [[Glide Ramp]] is added at the entrance of the city. In the R/T variant, the Mushroom cars from the R variant are retained, and a glide ramp at the beginning of the course has racers driving on top of the tunnel. | |||

Moonview Highway returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 5 of the | Moonview Highway returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 5 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It appears as the third course of the [[Feather Cup]]. The course is based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with significant visual upgrades. Most of the changes from ''Tour'' appear to have been left intact, including the reduced traffic, cars in the city no longer speeding up, a new banister in the opening section, the Bob-omb Cars returning with their ''Tour'' designs, and the static LED signs. The course now uses the vehicles from {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}. Unlike {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}, the traffic maintains its original behavior, driving on the left side of the road in opposite directions. The minimap now displays the raised sections found at the start of the track. The spotlights in the city now move, and the lights on the bridge no longer alternate on and off. The sound effect when passing through the toll booth has reverted to the one used in ''Mario Kart Wii''. The yellow arrow signs in the city are now green. Surfboard [[truck]]s now appear as part of the traffic. A new ramp has been added to the left raised section at the start of the track. The Item Boxes that move through the city now go through the toll booths and turn around instead of disappearing at the toll booths. The Dash Panel arrangement in the city now randomizes between plays, while the Dash Panels themselves are larger compared to previous iterations of the course, now taking up the entire width of the lanes on the road.<ref>@NintendoAmerica (July 7, 2023).

Moonview Highway is one of two courses originating from ''Mario Kart Wii'' to appear in Wave 5, with it appearing alongside {{Classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}}. | |||
Internally, the course is referred to as "Cnsw_63", implying it may have originally been intended to be the third course of the [[Acorn Cup]]. This slot previously had no prefix attached to it, and the reason for its change is unknown. | |||
