History:
By 2003 Toad's enterprises had grown strong enough that he was able to secure some land within the lush rural sections of the Mushroom Kingdom owned by Peach. She subsidized the land with the knowledge that Battle Courses had been bringing in nearly as much money as Race Tracks for much less expensive upkeep and land commitment. Toad also used the Mario Brothers' to install the transport pipes, exploiting their expertise. For all this, Toad skimmed off the top tremendously and neither Peach nor Mario and Luigi were really compensated. For this reason when it was chosen to return for the 2005 Games was yet another course administered by Mario, a strain on the plumber's time and energy that resulted in rather shoddy management.
Double Dash:
The course is strong in Double Dash, but not as elegant as Block City. It's almost like Double Dash's equivalent to Double Deck - the solid B stage that's played only when we get bored of Blocks. It also has a few ramps and easily traversed levels. One of the trickiest things to do is to place a Banana Peel or Bob-omb directly outside a pipe exit, leading to certain doom for uncautious players. Only players may traverse the pipes, items like Shells will not.
This stage returned in DS without a tremendous amount of changes. Since it is comparatively one of the smaller courses in DS it becomes a bit more entertaining than the milquetoast treatment in Double Dash. There are a lack of many walls, leading to a more open environment. There is however, the scaffolding and ramps that interrupt conflict a bit by obscuring views of other racers and deflecting projectiles.
