Also, the outside of the oval is covered up with walls with colored Toads and Birdos watching in seats.

Starlight City[]
Starlight City starts in a park with a statue of Yoshi in the center and roses on the outskirts. After going though the park, racers go though the streets with a few cars going slowly away on their path. If the car hits a racer, they get flattened for three seconds. After going in a straight line, the streets take a curve and slope down a hill. On the slope is a hang-gliding ramp. When racers go down the hill, they have to take a big curve to the beginning of the park.

Both paths lead to hang-gliding section leading to a dirt road leading to the beginning of course. Boos fly around the stage.
