'''Wild Woods''' is the third race course of the [[Crossing Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The course can be obtained in ''Mario Kart 8'' by purchasing the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content along with the other three race courses found in this cup. The course is located in a forested area inhabited by [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and [[Shy Guy]]s, where the track runs around a giant tree, its branches, down a stream passage and through a pond in a forest clearing.

The race starts in a grove, with the trunk of the tree serving as the starting point; therefore, racers start the course in [[anti-gravity]] mode. The track makes a U-turn to the right while racers meet the first set of [[Item Box]]es and [[coin]]s and follow a boardwalk. The track then splits in two, while the boardwalk ends with two ramps for [[trick]]s on each side. Racers can choose which branch to take – the left has some coins scattered about, while the right has more ramps for tricks but no coins to collect. After that, the two sections join and finish with another ramp to jump, where the anti-gravity mode turns off and racers once again land on a boardwalk that runs through a small village dwelling in the top of the tree, inhabited by several Shy Guys.

After the pond, racers take a ramp to jump over another gap and land directly on another boardwalk over an anti-gravity pad. The track makes a slight detour to the left before approaching the finish line once more.

*On the left route where the track splits near the beginning, players can take either of these shortcuts:

**A [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] can be used over a patch of grass, cutting off a corner.

**To the left of the jump ramp a small grass ramp can be taken using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] cutting off the turn leading to the main ramp.

*Just before the finish line and located in the detour, there is a single jump ramp that can be taken. It is required to use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star]] to take this way due to the grass before it.
