Course layout[edit]
The racing line is on a wide portion of sand located behead a wooden boardwalk. Racers begin by driving straight ahead on to the boardwalk, before turning right and then drive over a largeDash Panel ramp to land onto a wide sand area below. From hereon, the sand path is surrounded by a large body of water on both sides. When racers land onto the sand, they must take a circular turn and drive under two large arched rock structures (resembling the large, pink one fromPeach Beach inMario Kart: Double Dash!!). After this is a Dash Panel ramp in the center of the course. Racers can optionally drive onto it for a speed boost.
After the ramp, racers continue on the swerving sand path ahead. They must avoid driving into coconut trees andcrabs along the way. They must also avoid driving into a fewCheep Cheeps which bounce in the shallow water. Racers must avoid driving into the deep water, which is out of bounds. After turning left then right, racers must follow a straight path ahead. There are two smallramps ahead, each having a red arrow pointed upward. Racers can optionally use these ramps to move over the shallow water. A white lighthouse is shown in the background, standing on a gray wall. From there, racers must take a left turn and continue straight past two Cheep Cheeps and three palm trees at the left shoreline. The gray wall continues up to the start of a twisted jungle, which is pointed out by a wooden post with a large, red arrow pointing right. A fewItem Boxes indicate the jungle's threshold.
In the jungle, racers drive on a dirt path that is closed off by a small, white and pink fence to the left and right each. Coconut trees and other tropical trees are behind both fences. After the jungle, racers drive back out to the beach, where the finish line is straight ahead.
Inearlier versions of the game, parts of the course featured grass on each side of the sand.
It was one of the courses that could be played overNintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
Cheep Cheep Beach makes its classic course debut inMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe as the third course of theShell Cup. LikeCheep Cheep Lagoon fromMario Kart 7, the course received a banner with its course name in it, while the starting banner has been redesigned to resemble a volleyball net and now has the modernMario Kart logo. The course, like the other classic courses, has received an HD upgrade in visuals, and has a live-recorded cover version of its theme. The water tide no longer changes. Due to that, Cheep Cheeps now swim in the water instead of hopping on the course. Drivers can alsodrive underwater in the sea. Furthermore, a few of them now occasionally jump over where the racers glide from the boardwalk and where racers jump off the ramp, serving as obstacles.Piantas are now seen at the starting line. The start of the course where the boardwalk merges into the sand has had the Dash Panel replaced with aGlide Ramp, and the course has high tide. Underneath the sea, coral reefs are now present. The last turn before the start and finish line now has a mud puddle on the corner, which a racer can use an item such as aMushroom to cut through the mud. On the last stretch of the dirt section before the finish line, two ramps have been added for racers to perform atrick.
Cheep Cheep Beach stickers appear on the sides of thecargo trucks inN64 Toad's Turnpike and the lighthouse from this course can be seen fromN64 Rainbow Road.

- Website description:
- English (United Kingdom):
Offering all-year-round sunshine and a never-ending supply of fresh fish, Cheep Cheep Beach is a great place to relax after a race. But make sure to lay your towel well away from the track, otherwise you'll find unsightly tire marks spoiling your all-over tan.

- Mario Kart Facebook page (United States):Slather on the sunscreen and don your shades before racing on the tropical shores of Cheep Cheep Beach in Mario Kart 8.[1]
- Nintendo Magazine 2022 Summer:This is a resort course built on a beautiful beach, where soft tides wash in and out. You can enjoy a very summery race driving driving on the beach or jump straight into the ocean.[2]
- Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack liner notes:When we arranged this, we put a lot of emphasis on reproducing the original track. I'm particularly fond of the pedal steel guitar that appears partway through the track.
