Template:Articleabout Template:Racecourse Koopa Troopa Beach is the third race course in the Mushroom Cup of Mario Kart 64. It is most likely named after the Koopa Troopa rock formation seen when the race begins. The track is the first in the game Mario Kart 64 to feature an explicit shortcut available without the use of an item.

The track starts out next to water, after rounding the first corner racers will pass the giant Koopa shaped rock on one side or the other and follow the water around the next turn. After the turn players will come to the first of many ramps.

Instruction Manual Description

This course was named for the giant rock that can be seen right after the starting line. There are jumps, a fork in the road, and even a shortcut. There is no best route; it all depends on the situation you find yourself in at the time. Watch out! If you hit one of the crabs right before the goal, you'll crash!

Trivia

  • A track having the same name (nokonoko_course) was supposed to be featured in Mario Kart DS, but was removed. The track is still on the game's files, but is unplayable without an Action Replay (no textures) or ROM Hacking (with textures).
  • The course has a similar name to Super Mario Kart's courses, Koopa Beach 1 and Koopa Beach 2.
