Maple Treeway is the third race course of theStar Cup inMario Kart Wii. It takes place in a large forest during autumn. The track consists of racing on tree branches, on the treetops and even within the trees themselves.Big Wigglers appear on the treetops, and driving into them will hinder any racer.Leaf piles flank various parts of the track, and driving through them revealsMushrooms,Bananas, and rarely,Stars. The course's name is a portmanteau of "maple tree" and "freeway".

Maple Treeway reappears inMario Kart 7 as the fourth and final course of theLeaf Cup, inMario Kart Tour starting with the2020 Halloween Tour, and inMario Kart 8 Deluxe as the fourth and final course of theRock Cup in theBooster Course Pass.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

Course layout[edit]

Right after the starting line

The course begins with a left turn immediately followed by a right turn and a U-turn to the left. On the first right turn is the first set ofItem Boxes. After the U-turn, racers are launched out of a Barrel Cannon across a lake and through the leaves of a giant tree. After landing from the cannon, racers make a right U-turn around the tree's trunk. Along this turn, the sides of the track curve upwards, and there areleaf piles which racers can drive through; the leaf piles will either drop aMushroom, aBanana, or nothing. Afterwards, racers pass through the first of several wooden structures, where there is another item set. This leads racers out of the tree and onto a giant tree branch, which forms a tight U-turn to the left and allows racers to gain height until they reach the top of the tree.

The top of the tree is a very wide circular area but nonetheless has fences on either side. It has twoBig Wigglers that roam around; if racers run into one, they will bounce back but not spin out. The tree top area also has more leaf piles, most of which act the same as before, though the first leaf pile on the left is special: It has a 50% chance to drop aStar and a 50% chance to drop nothing. When racers reach the other side of the tree top, they pass through another wooden structure and onto another giant tree branch. This one makes a right turn followed by a slight left turn before ending at a small gap. There is also adash panel on the left side of the tree branch followed by a dash panel on the right side.

Racers then reach a section of the track that is made of parts of a hollow tree branch. It has two dash panels that lead into a U-turn. On the outer edge of the U-turn, there is ahalf-pipe with another set of Item Boxes above it. Afterwards there is another small gap and a straightaway where players pass several more leaf piles, before the track narrows and racers follow the hollow tree branch into the trunk of the tree; the trunk is also hollow, and racers use a narrow bridge to get across the gap. Shortly after this, racers exit the tree, passing through another wooden structure, and go off a dash panel ramp onto a giant tree stump. On the sides of the stump are two more wooden structures that are inaccessible. Racers drive onto one last giant tree branch that makes a slight left turn and has one more item set, then reach a wavy rope bridge that racers cantrick off of. After this bridge is one last straightaway with a split path. If racers go straight, they are able to trick off of two large tree roots and/or drive through several more leaf piles. There is a second special leaf pile here, found to the left after the first tree branch, which behaves like the other one. Alternatively, racers can choose a narrow path on the left or right side of the track, both of which take them straight through two trees, have individual Item Boxes, and end with dash panel ramps. After the three paths join, racers reach the finish line.

Shortcuts[edit]

The first notable shortcut can be found as soon as the race starts. There is a gap in the fence to the right just before the first turn; the player can use a Mushroom to drive across the off-road found in this gap and access an alternate route. The route involves a left turn into a dash panel, where there is a pair of Item Boxes. The player can then use a bridge to cross the main path below them, use another dash panel, and take a slight left turn until they reach the cannon. This shortcut can be especially advantageous because time is not saved until after the player hits the Item Boxes, allowing them to grab an item and immediately bring it into a higher position than expected.

The other notable shortcut can be found at the U-turn with the half-pipes. By driving near the left edge of the tree branch before the U-turn and using a Mushroom while aiming right, the player can skip the turn entirely and land on the subsequent straightaway. This shortcut is much more difficult than the first. It possible to perform without a Mushroom, but becomes even more difficult in the process.^[1]

Glitches[edit]

• A glitch can be performed on the curve of the final tree branch before the finish line section. If the player falls slowly enough by repeatedly and simultaneously accelerating and braking, instead of being picked up by Lakitu, they will land on the ground beneath the track and be able to explore it, as most of the ground is solid.
• The player can use the left Dash Panel at the end and end up out of bounds, where they must use a mushroom or more to get back on track just before the first hairpin. They then must use the cannon and, upon landing, turn around and use another mushroom to get to the branch before the bridge. If the glitch is done correctly, the lap will count.^[2]

Tournaments[edit]

November 2008's 1st tournament

November 2008's first tournament required players to collect 15 coins hidden in leaf piles on the tree top section. Additionally, there are now fiveBig Wigglers roaming around the area. This tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of November 2010 and the first tournament of March 2012. It was also repeated as the second tournament of May 2013, but with a vehicle restriction of karts only.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

Wii Maple Treeway inMario Kart 7

Maple Treeway makes its classic course debut inMario Kart 7 as the fourth and last course of theLeaf Cup.

The launch after the start/finish line (which has the classicMario Kart logo recolored from lilac/light brown to orange/yellow) now encompasses aGlide Ramp. Players can no longer aim their flight and they are also no longer immune to items while in the launcher, and being hit by anything (or intentionally stowing their glider) will result in having to be rescued byLakitu.

After theBig Wiggler area, the branch with two Dash Panels is now flat. The half-pipe after the branch with two Dash Panels was also removed. After the final turn of this track, instead of a waving metal net off which racers can perform tricks, a Glide Ramp allows them to cross the large gap. Additionally, the leaf piles may also now releasecoins andGreen Shells. Despite the course being slightly shortened, it is the longest classic course in the game, now being longer thanWii Koopa Cape, unlike inMario Kart Wii. It also includes a falling leaves effect.

Shortcuts[edit]

• A glitch exists on this course that can be used by taking the path with the bridge to the cannon. By hopping on the right of the tunnel's side, the player will enter the cannon with elevated height and by aiming the glider upward the player will land on the section on top of the tree with the Big Wigglers.^[3]
• The U-turn before the bridge can be skipped by drifting, using aMushroom and hopping precisely. This can also be done with a Super Mini-Turbo and 10 coins.
• Using the final Glide Ramp, time can be saved by swooping down to pick up speed, near the cliff edge ahead, and returning to a safe height before being counted out of bounds.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

Wii Maple Treeway inMario Kart Tour

Wii Maple Treeway reappears inMario Kart Tour, starting with the2020 Halloween Tour. It is the first course originally fromMario Kart Wii to reappear in the game. The track plays akin to itsMario Kart 7 iteration, but with a few subtle changes, such as the removal of theDash Panel on the bridge at the beginning, the leaves on the course being made a more solid orange, the section after the treetop being widened, and the halfpipe ramp fromMario Kart Wii being reimplemented in the same location. The track was visually overhauled, with a more fantasy-like feel and the section up to the top of the tree being redesigned to be more open, showing the landscape. TheBig Wigglers on the treetop now spin racers out instead of pushing them back and they now walk around the treetop clockwise instead of counterclockwise. TheMario Kart logo on the starting banner has also changed to the modern logo and recolored to white/dark brown. It is the first course inMario Kart Tour to include half-pipe ramps fromMario Kart Wii.Wii Maple Treeway is the third course afterDS DK Pass andDS Airship Fortress to be the signature course of two tours (the 2020 Halloween Tour and the 2021 Autumn Tour).

The course also appears asMaple Treeway R (reversed),Maple Treeway T (with ramps), andMaple Treeway R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the 2020 Halloween Tour, while the latter debuted in the2021 Autumn Tour. In the T variant, there arehot-air balloons along the sides of the second gliding section, which now begins earlier. In the R/T variant, both gliding sections are gone; racers instead drive acrossKanaami Road and severalmushroom trampolines.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Wii Maple Treeway inMario Kart 8 Deluxe

Wii Maple Treeway returns inMario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of theBooster Course Pass downloadable content. It is the fourth and last course of theRock Cup, and was added in the third wave of the DLC. It has received significant visual upgrades compared to its appearance inMario Kart Tour.^[4] The halfpipe from theMario Kart Tour version of the course is maintained, making it one of two courses in the third wave to reintroduce the mechanic toMario Kart 8 Deluxe, the other beingMerry Mountain. Also like in Merry Mountain, the halfpipe also has the appearance and effect of anAntigravity Panel. The Dash Panels along the shortcut that were removed inMario Kart Tour were restored. TheBig Wigglers also now move around differently and will spin out any player that collides with it at a high rate of speed. LikeMario Kart 7, the mini map now has shaded areas signifying roads normally covered by the large maple tree section, specifically for the road directly after the first gliding section and the bridge leading to the tree's exit.

ExcludingMario Kart 8'sRainbow Road theme, which is used in all trailers for theBooster Course Pass,Wii Maple Treeway was one of two courses whose music was used for the second trailer for Wave 3, alongside3DS Rainbow Road.

Internally,Wii Maple Treeway is referred to as "Cnsw_62", implying it may have originally been intended to be the second course of theAcorn Cup. A video released by Nintendo of America lists this course as the second course of theMoon Cup, in line withGCN Waluigi Stadium's original position (Cnsw_36).^[5]
