Moon Cup: Difference between revisions

The '''Moon Cup''' is a [[cup]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC. It is the second of two cups in the third wave of the DLC, being released alongside the [[Rock Cup]], the sixth cup of the pass overall, and the eighteenth cup of the game overall. Like most cups in the pass, it only features [[classic course]]s. Excluding the Extra Cups in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and the cups in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', this is the second cup in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series to feature two classic courses from the same game, after the [[Lucky Cat Cup]], as it features two courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'': [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways]] and [[Merry Mountain]]. The emblem of the cup is a [[Power Moon]]. The decorations on this cup's [[trophy]] are purple.

*In the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Pre-release and unused content|game's data]], the filename for {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}} implies that it was originally set to be the second course of the [[Rock Cup]], and the filename for {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} (which is the third course of the [[Boomerang Cup]] in the final version) implies that it was originally set for the Moon Cup's second slot instead. A video uploaded by Nintendo of America on YouTube lists {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} (which is the fourth course of the Rock Cup in the final version) as the second course of the cup.<ref>Nintendo (November 22, 2022).

*The Moon Cup is the only cup comprised entirely of retros in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to have all of its starting lines use the same Mario Kart logo (that being the modern one).
