Baby Park

History:

Once it became apparent that Baby Mario and Baby Luigi were trapped in the current time stream they found that they needed a place to live and figure things out. Yoshi, fondly remembering the two from his own youth, granted them a plot of land on Yoshi's Island. Being babies, they soon transformed the meager parcel into an Amusement park, dubbing it Baby Park. The Park features an extremely short track elevated over some of the other attractions that has become a popular spot both for Racing and Spectating.

Double Dash:

Baby Park is the third course in the Mushroom Cup and at first seems to be very welcoming and simple. It's the most basic and shortest of all Courses anywhere, the typical good lap should usually take around 11 seconds, 10 if you get a few Mushrooms. For this reason it's the only track ever to feature Seven Laps instead of the typical three. Its distraction-free nature quickly fades away in Grand Prix though once the Sixteen Drives start throwing Items all over the place. Its confined space is a lot more disheartening when there's three Giant Bowser Shells and fifteen Bananas in your path. It's also short enough that it's easy to fall behind if you screw up. The Secret Staff Ghost here is Baby Mario, with Baby Luigi riding shotgun in the Goo Goo Buggy at 1:11:108.

The Track returned in DS, although it only has five laps this time around. Since there are no babies in DS the Staff Ghost is the next best thing, Toad in the Mushmellow at 0:50:920.
