Cheese Land

History:

After he forcibly started advancing Koopa Kingdom technology in the late 90s, Lord Bowser developed Space Travel through the use of Dark Magic and a very focused use of resources. He first landed on the Mushroom World's Moon, which he found to be made entirely of Yellow Cheese. With a new Grand Prix looming he obviously saw an opportune moment to create the first track outside of the Mushroom World besides the Rainbow Road. He dubbed his new conquest Cheese Land, and despite its effectiveness as a course, the long journey and little popularity among racers or spectators caused Bowser to abandon it soon after the 2001 Cup. No one has claimed anything on the Moon since.

Super Circuit:

Cheese Land is a bizarre track that only appears in the Flower Cup in Super Circuit. The path seems to be all Cheese surrounded by some...staler browner cheese that slows Karts down. There are some moldy twists and gentle turns and one big jump over a portion of the course. Based on the fact that there is an Earth-like planet in the sky on this course as well as the notion that the Moon generally appears yellow (see Moonview Highway) has driven me to the idea that this place is on the Moon. Of course there are places like Cheese Bridge but there is no cheese there. This track has not returned since Super Circuit, nor has there ever been another incarnation of it. That's probably a good thing.
