Daisy Cruiser is the third track of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. This track makes a retro appearance in Mario Kart 7 as the third track of the Leaf Cup, in Mario Kart Tour as of the Ocean Tour, and in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass, as the second track of the Feather Cup. It is the sequel to Peach Beach.

As its name implies, the track takes place on a cruise ship owned by Princess Daisy. This cruise has a pool, a room with moving tables, and a flooded engine room in the track's retro appearances.

Layout

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Daisy Cruiser This is the third track of Flower Cup. It has a pool close to the beginning as well as tables sliding up and down, and they can block you if you hit them.

Racers start on the top level of the cruise, in front of a round room with windows. Racers follow the right side of the cruise, leading them to the pool after a sharp left and right turn. However, racers that take a splash are picked up by Lakitu and placed back out of the pool. Racers then follow the right side again, going down a set of steps that curves to the left as a u-turn. A short straightaway leads them to the dining room, with sliding tables as obstacles. They leave the room at the left side where a sharp right turn follows them into a hallway. After a sharp left, there is an optional hole that leads racers to an orange pipe that is ready to shoot them back to the top of the cruise. The hallway continues with more sharp turns, starting with a left, a right, and two chicanes in both directions. A wide right turn leads racers to a set of steps that goes upwards this time, and the Finish Line is just a straightaway ahead.

Mario Kart 7

Daisy Cruiser reappears in Mario Kart 7 as the third track of the Leaf Cup. Notable changes include that racers can now take the previously closed-off left section at the start of the race. The shortcut halfway through is now filled with water and clams, and the exhaust pipe at the end of the shortcut no longer shoots the player out - the player can use boost pads to trick off of it. Also, the pool after the first split-section can now be driven in.

Mario Kart Tour

Daisy Cruiser also reappears in Mario Kart Tour as part of the Ocean Tour. It layout is lifted from 7, and it hasn't received any significant changes to the layout, except from updated graphics.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Shortcuts

Trivia!

• This course appears in the background of Peach Beach (original appearance and Wii remake), Daisy Circuit, and Yoshi Circuit (original appearance and Wii U remake).
• If you pay close attention, you would notice that the ship is rocking side-to-side, based on looking out the window. This directly corresponds as to why the tables and chairs in the dining hall are such an obstacle.
• GCN Daisy Cruiser is one of the four courses in Mario Kart 7 that has no glider ramps. The others are Rosalina's Ice World, N64 Luigi Raceway, and SNES Rainbow Road.
• The cruise ship looks fairly similar to The Queen Peach in Wii Fit, a game on the Wii.
• This course was originally supposed to come in Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass as the second course of the Boomerang Cup (as evidenced by it being labeled in the files as "Cnsw_46"), but it got pushed back to Wave 5 for as of yet unknown reasons.
