Wii Moonview Highway

Line 14:

'''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 reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[Night Tour]]. It also returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Feather Cup]] in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]].

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 largely based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour''. Cars now use their ''Mario Kart 8'' designs and the total number of vehicles on the map has been further reduced. Additionally, traffic in the left lane travels 50% faster than before and includes several surfboard [[truck]]s from {{Classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}. In the first section of the course, the left cliff now has a simple ramp on top. There are now [[Item Box|Double Item Boxes]] atop the dash panel ramp on the right cliff as well as on the sides of the bridge. In the city section, the dash panels that spanned the entire width of the road were removed, as well as the set of Item Boxes before the tunnel. The dash panels that remain now have their positions randomized between races, and they have once again been widened, now being as wide as one entire lane. The moving Item Boxes now behave differently, going through the toll booths and turning around instead of disappearing at both ends. Lastly, coins can now be found in different locations, with some trailing behind surfboard trucks. The course also receives numerous visual and auditory changes. For example, the lights on the bridge no longer alternate on and off, and the toll booth opening sound effect that plays when passing through has been reverted from the one heard at the aforementioned two courses and [[Super Bell Subway]] to the one heard in ''Mario Kart Wii''. The spotlights in the city now move and the yellow arrow signs in the city section are now green. Also, the course's minimap now displays the cliff portions near the start of the track. <ref>@NintendoAmerica (July 7, 2023).

Moonview Highway is one of two courses originating from ''Mario Kart Wii'' to appear in Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass, 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.
