Tick Tock Clock

History:

Within Princess Peach's Castle, on the third floor there is a Mystical Clock. The records of its existence go back as far as the construction of the castle itself and it's possible that the structure was built around its time-warping energies rather than the other way around. The Clock is actually a portal to an infinite dimension where time is as manipulable as paint on a brush. It is an extremely dangerous place to explore, but after Mario was able to use the Star Power to conquer its perils he pressured Peach to turn it into a racecourse for profit. Peach never felt great about doing so however, and eventually turned the rights over to Daisy. It remains a dangerous locale for explorers and racers alike, not only because of the deep mysteries surrounding its power and origins.

DS:

This course is actually a relatively simple Figure 8, although there are a good amount of moving parts and gears to throw riders off. Beware of the massive pendulum as well as the spinning clock hands. If you travel in the correct direction of the gears racers can get a bit of a boost but they are hindered by traveling in the opposite direction. It's actually a course more suited for fast Drivers who can haul ass on straightaways with minimal correction (and luck) needed to avoid the pendulum and other hazards. Someone in the ROB-BLS would do nicely here.

The Ghost here is Daisy for some reason who does a 1:54:903 in the Light Dancer. This track has only appeared in DS although it's popular enough to be a likely candidate for a remake someday.
