Toad's Factory

History:

It was rare that Toad sought employment or ventures outside of his role in the Royal Court. He was, however, able to find success after years of Grand Prix, making Items for use both in races and battle. He constructed a huge factory in the Mushroom Kingdom dedicated to this production. Eventually he opened it up to racing as well.

Toad's Factory is actually less complicated than it looks. In essence it's a simple loop, although there are plenty of difficult parts. As a closer for the Mushroom Cup it has a good balance between challenge and simplicity. The trickiest parts involve moving pathways that shift and can either greatly help or impede speed. It's essential during the final stretch to time the race correctly to boost over the oil, otherwise you're in for a very slow finish at a critical moment. Immediately prior to this is a dangerous jump that gives you a ton of speed going into a sharp turn. No straightaway is really straightfoward then, there is plenty of weaving to be done in between boxes, crushers, or giant bulldozers.

Toad's only Staff Ghost appears on this track. He goes a 02:22.480 with the Bubble Bike while the Expert goes 02:05.593 in the Blue Falcon. Considering how deceptive this course is and the need for a fast reaction time along with a small profile I would suggest a Medium-Sized Racer using either the Mach Bike or Dolphin Dasher. Daisy with both her speed and handling makes a fine choice.
