Baby Park is the third track of Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, in Mario Kart DS as the fourth and final course of the Banana Cup, in Mario Kart 8 as part of the Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 DLC pack, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the first course of the Crossing Cup, and in Mario Kart Tour debuting in the 2022 Cat Tour. It is in the shape of an oval-shaped loop. On one side, it's blue and on the other side it's red. This presumably represents the colors of Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. It is the shortest course by far and therefore has 7 laps as opposed to three.
Other tips
Learning to mini-boost and snake really helps here to put an advantage over your opponents. Try to dodge or avoid getting hit by shells. Items can pass over the inner barrier, but racers cannot.
In Mario Kart DS
This course reappears in Mario Kart DS as a retro course, but it only has 5 laps. It is one of the shortest courses, like it was in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Its final lap theme has been transposed to F# Major, not A Major.
In Mario Kart 8
In Mario Kart 8 the entire track is in anti-gravity mode and barely has Glide Panels unlike other courses. The track has horizontal halves with red and blue. The track has 7 laps like the original game.
Items can no longer pass over the barrier that divides the track. During the final lap, the railings start to flash. The item boxes now move on the course, whose music speeds up with EACH lap, causing the final lap theme (which starts at the final stanza) to be in B major, not A major.

Trivia
- This is one of the courses in Mario Kart 8 / Deluxe to have anti-gravity on the whole track along with Mute City and Big Blue.
- The course along with GCNYoshi Circuit are the only courses to return from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! to Mario Kart DS to Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to Mario Kart Tour.
- This is one of 4 courses to have the map in a different colour in Mario Kart 8. One half is pink. This does not occur in the Switch remake.
- If you look closely in the background, there is a fountain, on top of which appears to be a baby version of Mario Kart 8 racer, Pink Gold Peach. However, Nintendo has never given us any information on her.
