With that, she puts a terrible curse on Princess Kindra so that when she reaches her sixteenth year, she accidentally pricks herself with a spindle and falls into an eternal slumber - along with the entire kingdom! “Silence, or I shall put out your light forever!”, she exclaims. Among them are Fire Knight, Water Knight, Air Knight and Earth Knight - each of them clad in armor made up by the very elements they represent. * - Officially considered new in both Mario Kart Tour and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass.In celebration of the birth of Princess Kindra, five knights enter the royal court. This is one of three courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to have a unique fanfare, alongside Ninja Hideaway and DS Waluigi Pinball.The course has a unique sound effect during the opening sequence high-pitched Chinese gongs can be heard after the introduction fanfare ends.The various poses of the Lakitu statues on this course match that on the Kung Fu Lakitu poster seen in GBA Ribbon Road, which in turn, is a reference to Kung Fu Panda.In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 200cc, the staff ghost is an Inkling Boy. The staff ghost for this track is Lakitu on the Varmint. Before a part with multiple Spin Boost Pillars, there are six unique lanterns with the design of the Lakitu Card from the Club Nintendo Hanafuda Cards reward. This is similar to Sun Wukong, a character who rides a cloud and uses a staff in the Chinese novel Journey to the West. One of the Lakitu images in the tunnel depicts one holding a staff and riding a cloud. Three Chinese characters ("朱盖木 - Zhūgàimù") referencing Lakitu's name in simplified Chinese can be found on the lanterns above the starting line or on the murals. This is also seen in the Super Mario 3D World stage Hands-On Hall. The starting line is a paifang, a type of gate widely found in Chinese culture, with two golden Cheep Cheeps on top of it. The track features several references to Lakitus and Chinese culture. When crossing the finish line to begin the next lap, he’s also shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs. When Lakitu is holding the start signal, he is shown on the left side of the player.

Then, racers are faced with a series of descending bumps in the road that function as ramps, giving racers an opportunity to perform tricks. There are some Spin Boost Pillars found here, which have a unique design resembling hyōtan gourds. After this is a bridge twisting racers fully upside-down, before a prolonged left turn followed by a right turn. Following this is another series of winding turns, though there are shortcuts placed between them (one acting as an offroad ramp and the other serving as a patch of offroad). After a set of zigzagging turns, players exit the dragon, although they continue to drive on its exterior. Throughout the tunnels, images from the original Super Mario Bros.
