Battle StageEdit

These are minicourses that only appear in Balloon Battle and Coin Runner. 3 are retro and half of them are nitro. New ones both share the same music, while old ones use their own music from past Mario Kart games.

• GBA Battle Course 1
• N64 Big Donut
• DS Palm Shore
• Honeybee Hive
• Sherbet Rink
• Wuhu Town

Ghost data:Edit

Like Mario Kart Wii, ghost data in Time Trial also made a return. Also, there are 2 types of them: medium and hard. Medium ghosts are available at start, while tricky ones can be unlocked if you get the fastest time as possible, or beating medium ones. Harder ones often go very rare shortcuts with their items to make it impossible to beat them, while most easier ones often just stay in the road and ignore few shortcuts.

DevelopmentEdit

During development of the game, it was first announced by Nintendo on March 23, 2010 and later shown in the form of a non-interactive demo on June 15, 2010, at E3 2010.

At the Nintendo 3DS Conference on September 13, 2011, Waluigi Pinball and DK Pass from Mario Kart DS, and Kalimari Desert from Mario Kart 64 was also confirmed as a retro track. Since then, screenshots have confirmed SNES Mario Circuit 2, N64 Luigi Raceway, and GBA Bowser Castle 1 as retro courses. The conference that took place on October 21, 2011 along with various hands-on articles, revealed a further five -- N64 Koopa Troopa Beach, GCN Dino Dino Jungle, Wii Mushroom Gorge, Wii Coconut Mall and Wii Koopa Cape, while the official Japanese website revealed that GCN Daisy Cruiser would be appearing. The final retro course to be confirmed was SNES Rainbow Road.
