Revision as of 04:24, 31 July 2015
Dragon Driftway is the third track of the downloadable Egg Cup in Mario Kart 8. The stage has an ancient Chinese theme, taking place in and on a giant dragon resembling Gobblegut. Throughout the course, various statues and murals of Lakitu appear.
Coincidentally, the staff ghost kart setup is Lakitu driving a Varmint with Monster tires and a Cloud Glider.
Layout
Mario Kart 8
The course starts out with the player going into a Gobblegut's mouth, and through a dojo-themed tunnel. Throughout the tunnels, images from the original Super Mario Bros. can be seen at the top of the walls. After a set of zigzagging turns, players exit the dragon, although continue to drive on its exterior.
After several winding turns, players will loop back and drive over the finish line. Here, several bumps work as ramps giving an opportunity to perform tricks. After an additional turn, the characters return to the finish line.
Shortcuts
- Just after the winding tunnel section is a second corner that one can cut altogether. Look for an environmental object that bridges the two sections of road.
- Alternatively, one can use a Mushroom to blast over the patch of grass just beyond this shortcut.
- As one approaches the second straight, fire off a Mushroom to cut through the grass.
