The course appears as the second track in the Bell Cup in the  Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 DLC Park. The course is redesigned in elevation but the general layout remains the same. However, there's a blue ribbon signifying that the course is less stable with several bumps in the road. Alongside this blue part is blocks that if the player drives across them, he can possibly get ahead.

Various elements were added to make the room feel like a child's room like various toys on the ground and posters on the wall. The structures on the course are made on blocks and toys. Clown Car Jack-in-the-Boxes are obstacles in the flying portion and Mechakoopas are hazards in the last stretch of the lap.

Trivia

  • Multiple Yarn Yoshi figures are visible around the track. They resemble the amiibo.
  • Mini Toads from the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series appear at the beginning of the track.
  • Karts like Biddybuggies and Teddy Buggies are in the room much bigger than the racers
  • A theatrical poster of a fictional film starring a Lakitu called "Kung Fu Lakitu", which is a reference to the DreamWorks animated film Kung Fu Panda is found on the wall. Its tagline is "Dragon Driftway the Movie", referencing that course.
