This article is about the course from Mario Kart DS. For the court in Mario Sports Mix with the same name, see Waluigi Pinball (court).

Waluigi Pinball, also titled Waluigi's Pinball,^[1] is the third race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart DS. It returns as a classic course in Mario Kart 7, as the fourth and last course of the Banana Cup; in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the 2019 Halloween Tour; and in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, as the fourth and last course of the Turnip Cup.

Waluigi Pinball shares its music with Wario Stadium. An arrangement of the music is also featured on the Mario Circuit stage in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Waluigi Pinball theme applies to any stage representing the Mario Kart series, arranged in an enhanced electronic rock style by Kentaro Ishizaka. The arrangement also incorporates Wario's victory theme from the same games.

In Mario Kart Tour, Waluigi Pinball received two variations, Waluigi Pinball R (reversed), Waluigi Pinball T (with ramps), and Waluigi Pinball R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular version in the 2019 Halloween Tour, while the latter debuted in the Valentine's Tour. As of the 2023 Anniversary Tour, the course has appeared in thirty separate tours, the most out of any course in the game (not including courses with multiple routes).

Layout

Mario Kart DS

As its name implies, this course takes place in a giant pinball machine themed after Waluigi and contains many sharp turns and curves. Soon after the countdown ends and the race begins, the kart drivers are launched into the pinball machine. After that, the racers start a descent down the machine, encountering numerous pinballs on the way. Colliding with one of these causes drivers to be knocked backwards. Additionally, a racer loses any items they may be carrying. While the racers are in the pinball launcher, they are immune to all items, including Lightning. Later on the track, inside the pinball table, there are flippers and bumpers. Bumpers push and speed up drivers, but flippers, when moving, can cause them to get electrocuted and spin out. This is the longest Nitro course in the game, despite being in the Flower Cup.

This course is the only non-circuit course to share its Grand Prix introduction fanfare with Figure-8 Circuit, Mario Circuit and Template:Classic-link.

The course has several unique sound effects that evoke pinball machine scoring noises. Most of these sounds are retained in its retro course appearances in future games:

A "ball ready" sound is heard when in the pinball launcher.
A unique item roulette sound is heard after breaking an Item Box. This trait is shared with Hyrule Circuit, Animal Crossing, and Urchin Underpass in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
An additional "rolling" sound is played when traversing a Dash Panel.
A unique set of sounds plays when the player's position changes. Similar sounds for when the player's position changes are used in Mario Kart Wii onwards.
A "ball lost" sound is heard when exiting the pinball table.
A unique jingle plays when the player enters the second lap.

Mario Kart 7

Waluigi Pinball's layout is the same, but with enhanced graphics and the Dash Panels recolored to orange. The flashing starting banner now displays the classic Mario Kart logo. The launch after the starting line now encompasses a Glide Ramp, although like Template:Classic-link and Template:Classic-link, players cannot aim their flight. Players are also no longer immune to items while in the launcher, and being hit by anything (or stowing their glider) results in having to be rescued by Lakitu. Additionally, the glider section is now shown on the minimap. The jumps after turn 1 (with the Waluigi banner repositioned slightly to accommodate it) and after turn 6 can be used to perform a trick and gain a boost. An extra Dash Panel is added in the small drop near the circular turn that comes after the 2nd jump. The pinballs, bumpers, and flippers on the table behave the same way as before, with the exception of the bumpers in the center of the lower part of the table rotating clockwise instead of counterclockwise. While playing local or online multiplayer, only one pinball traverses the main table as opposed to two.

Mario Kart Tour

Waluigi Pinball featured a major visual upgrade. The image of Waluigi is now illustrated 2D, and his head now rotates from left to right and is surrounded by several brightly-lit buildings and large stacks of coins, the slots below them now have a Las Vegas theme to them, the bumpers have a brighter color, the flashing starting banner with the Mario Kart logo now uses the modern one albeit without the flashing red lights, and there is a new sign after the pinball launcher with Waluigi's art from Mario Party: Star Rush, the track name, a metal ball, two flippers, and scrolling text below that reads "Waluigi No. 1", while the Waluigi banner at the start of the pinball machine was moved to the entrance of the pinball table. The rotating bumpers now move far more slowly. Due to the second lap being the final lap, the jingle that plays when entering the second lap in previous appearances is no longer present.

In the T variant, there are many ramps on the pinball table that raise and lower as time passes. In the R/T variant, the two metal balls on the lower section take a different path at the start of the race. The course icon for the R/T variant has an error within it. It features a trick ramp next to the red bridge despite not appearing in-game.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Waluigi Pinball uses its design from Mario Kart Tour, albeit with enhanced graphical updates. The rotating bumpers have been reverted to a faster speed, retaining their clockwise rotation first changed in Mario Kart 7. They can also now be crashed into when using a Star, flying into the air as a result. Several groups of spectators consisting of Shy Guys, Toads, Yoshis, and Koopa Paratroopas have now been added in various locations outside of the track's playable area, such as the sides of the chute behind the flippers and around the stretch of road after the gap jump leading to the pinball table, and a helicopter now appears above the large image of Waluigi at the end of the course. The flippers now give off an electric particle effect after activating.

The sounds that play when changing positions are no longer present, and the sound effect that plays when the player exits the pinball table is no longer played; however, the latter can be heard twice in the course's introduction cinematic. Like its debut game, the course shares its music with Template:Classic-link, making these courses the only courses to share the same music in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Waluigi Pinball was one of two courses whose music was used for the reveal trailer for Wave 2 of the Booster Course Pass, alongside Sky-High Sundae, not including Mario Kart 8's Rainbow Road, whose music was also used in Wave 1's promotional material. Waluigi Pinball is the only DS course in the Booster Course Pass to not be the second course in its respective cup, as Template:Classic-link, Template:Classic-link, and Template:Classic-link are the second courses of the Lucky Cat Cup, Moon Cup, and Boomerang Cup respectively.

Nintendo Switch News app (US):
- This course first appeared in the Mario Kart DS game.
- Much like Waluigi himself, this is a very flashy course―complete with pinball-like features like flippers and bumpers.
- The key to victory involves dodging the balls that are rolling around.
- Waaa!
Nintendo Magazine 2022 Winter: "Giant metal balls roll around this course. Get hyped with the flashy lights and music!"^[7]

Trivia

Waluigi Pinball is one of two courses in the Mario Kart series to have used three different starting line logos, as it used a unique font in Mario Kart DS, the classic Mario Kart logo in Mario Kart 7, and the modern Mario Kart logo in both Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Coincidentially, both are from Mario Kart DS with the other one being Airship Fortress.
The Nintendo Switch's News app's Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Channel in the United Kingdom never made a post highlighting DS Waluigi Pinball or Template:Classic-link, unlike every other course in the Booster Course Pass (though the post for Template:Classic-link was deleted after being made).
The earliest known version of Waluigi Pinball found in the game files of Mario Kart DS is known internally as luigi_course, implying that it would have been themed after Luigi.
