Which Mario Kart Wii course is set inside a shopping mall? The answer is Coconut Mall.

Coconut Mall is a Wii course built around a large tropical shopping complex. It appeared in Mario Kart Wii, released in 2008, as the second race in the Flower Cup. Racers weave through open plazas, storefronts, escalators, ramps, and indoor corridors before returning to the main entrance area.

The course’s bright vacation-resort design makes it instantly recognizable: palm trees and sunlight frame a mall filled with signs, food outlets, decorative plants, and multiple levels. Near the finish, moving cars can block or collide with racers, creating one of the track’s most memorable hazards.

Coconut Mall is sometimes confused with other Mario Kart Wii courses because several use large indoor or built-up environments. Grumble Volcano is a volcanic track, Mushroom Gorge is an outdoor cavern course, and Maple Treeway winds through an autumn forest. Coconut Mall later returned in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass.
