As the name implies, the course takes place in an amusement park which includes various elements from the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]], and serves as [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]'s home course. The track is a platform hanging from a large support complex, where a roller coaster runs above and around the course and a pink [[Train (form)|train]] runs over the rails. It is possible to collide with the roller coaster, though it is very difficult to achieve. The roller coaster obstacle was removed in the DS version and it returned in the Wii U and Switch version of the track as an aesthetic effect. | As the name implies, the course takes place in an amusement park which includes various elements from the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]], and serves as [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]'s home course.

Baby Park | Baby Park reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Banana Cup]], in ''Mario Kart 8'' (as part of the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC) and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Crossing Cup]], and in ''Mario Kart Tour'' starting with the [[Cat Tour (2022)|2022 Cat Tour]]. | ||

One half of the floor is blue and the other half is pink. It has various pictures of characters from the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] on it, including Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. Due to its short length, this course has seven laps instead of the traditional three, making it one of only two courses in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' to not be a three-lap course (the other being [[Wario Colosseum]], which has two laps). [[GCN DK Mountain|DK Mountain]] can be seen in the background. | One half of the floor is blue and the other half is pink.

Baby Park's music is also used in Balloon Battle on [[Tilt-a-Kart]], though with more cymbals. The music starts in F major, then goes to F#/G♭ major, and then G major before looping back to F major. | Baby Park's music is also used in Balloon Battle on [[Tilt-a-Kart]], though with more cymbals and the opening notes are a cover version of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]].

The race on this course has seven laps just like in the original and the revamped music now increases in tempo (and goes up a key) after every lap, making it the first classic course to do this (lap 1 in F major, lap 2 in F#/G♭ major, lap 3 in G major, lap 4 in A♭ major, lap 5 in A major, lap 6 in B♭ major, and lap 7/the final lap in B major). On the final lap, the guard rails start to flash and light up in multiple colors, and like with {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}}, the last part of the music starts to play instead of the beginning of it. During replays and on the [[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack|soundtrack]], the music plays in a style similar to the original game (going up in key after each "verse" | The race on this course has seven laps just like in the original and the revamped music now increases in tempo (and goes up a key) after every lap, making it the first classic course to do this (lap 1 in F major, lap 2 in F#/G♭ major, lap 3 in G major, lap 4 in A♭ major, lap 5 in A major, lap 6 in B♭ major, and lap 7/the final lap in B major).

Baby Park | Baby Park and {{classic-link|Wii|Rainbow Road}} are the only classic courses and one of five courses overall (along with [[Mute City]], [[Big Blue]], and [[Sky-High Sundae]]) to be entirely an anti-gravity race track. This is the shortest track in the game and the only track that does not have exactly three laps or sections. It is also the only track in ''Mario Kart 8'' where players cannot perform [[trick]]s, and it is the only course aside from the [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|three]] [[N64 Rainbow Road|different]] [[SNES Rainbow Road|Rainbow Roads]] to have its map in colors aside from blue. It is also the only classic course in the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack that has already appeared at least once as a classic course, and one of only two tracks in ''Mario Kart 8'' that has appeared more than once as a classic course at time of release and does not originate from ''Super Mario Kart'', the other being {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}. | ||
A statue resembling the one in the course [[Toad Harbor]] can be seen in the background, but instead of Peach in a Statue of Liberty pose, a pink gold version of [[Baby Peach]] can be seen holding a star (referencing the {{wp|Partners (statue)|''Partners'' statue}} seen in front of Cinderella's Castle). | A statue resembling the one in the course [[Toad Harbor]] can be seen in the background, but instead of Peach in a Statue of Liberty pose, a pink gold version of [[Baby Peach]] can be seen holding a star (referencing the {{wp|Partners (statue)|''Partners'' statue}} seen in front of Cinderella's Castle). | ||
This track, alongside the other DLC content, is available in the core game of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. However, the map colors are drastically toned town so that they appear more gray, to resemble maps seen on other courses. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', this is one of two tracks not to have Double Item Boxes, the other being {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}. | This track, alongside the other DLC content, is available in the core game of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
