'''Shroom Ridge''' is a course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It takes place on a cliffside somewhere in [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. It consists of many sharp turns, and during some of the track, your character is driving along the edge of the cliff, with no railing.

Shroom Ridge is a somewhat difficult course because of the cars, and the lack of guardrails protecting you from falling into the forest below. There are several sharp turns, making drifting key to victory. Karts with high handling, such as [[Dry Bomber]] are good for this.

Shroomridgemap

Course overview.

Shroom Ridge is the final race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart DS. The course takes place on a public road with traffic and runs on a mountain ridge, hence the name. For about half of the course, the right hand side has no railing and is a sheer drop. Shroom Ridge is the first traffic course to have cars moving in opposite directions, as opposed to the same direction as in all previous road tracks.

Notably, the cars not involved in the race drive on the left side of the road (which means, from the player's perspective, the cars that come against them are at the right side), as done in real life in various countries including Japan, the United Kingdom and Australia. In Mirror Mode, however, they take the right side of the road, as done in the Continental Americas or Mainland Europe.

Due to the DS's limited 3D graphics capability, vehicles cannot be seen from a far distance. Unlike the previous game, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, they will disappear from a player's sight if far enough.

Course Layout

The race starts in a part of the road near to the cliff. Players go straight to encounter the first corner that turns to the left. The road becomes slightly wider and the racers leave the ridge going in between two hills. The road makes another abrupt turn to the right crossing the hills and then turns to the left. The road passes through an extense meadow with trees in the background behind one of the hills of the road that leads the racers uphill in a S turn that ends inside a tunnel traversing a hill bordering on the road. Racers run throughout the tunnel to make a slight turn to the left. The tunnel ends leading the racers again to the ridge. During the turn, the road tilts slightly downhill and then makes an S turn to the right. Racers must take now another turn to the left and lastly another to the right. The road ends in straight line towards the crossing line to complete the lap.

Missions

3-7: Perform 10 power-slide turbo boosts in 1 lap!

4-3: Reach the finish before the red car!
