Shy Guy's Bazaar takes place in a desert a la World 2 of Subcon, bringing back a Middle Eastern motif of Doki Doki Panic as well as the vases from that game.
The starting roster is identical to Super Mario Kart, with Donkey Kong replacing Donkey Kong Jr. Nintendo EAD and Retro Studios really went all out to fill this Mario Kart with references to the Mario series's past. Big Creepy-Crawlies: 7 includes the first and only appearances of Wiggler and Honey Queen/Queen Bee as playable drivers. Band Land: Music Park, a track where racers drive atop piano keys, drums, and other assorted musical instruments. The rings of Saturn (with sections cut out for difficulty) and the moon are also part of the track. However, this one is unique in that the racers drive on more than just rainbow. Astral Finale: Rainbow Road, as usual. Likely a Mythology Gag to Shy Guys' origin game, the Arabian-themed Doki Doki Panic. "Arabian Nights" Days: The Shy Guy Bazaar is a nocturnal racetrack with Arabian architecture and soundtrack. Anthropomorphic Typography: Music Park from both Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8 have giant music notes with faces that act as obstacles in the track, bouncing back and forth to the music. Then the next level, Daisy Hills, has a larger gliding section at the end, with more obstacles to avoid (and the lake below acting as a Bottomless Pit) and its launchpads are mandatory to progress. Using it doesn't take your kart very far (it's actually better to ignore it), but it lets the player get used to the gliding controls. Toad Circuit has an optional ramp with a glider launchpad, usually only used after the first lap. CHARACTERS MARIO KART 7 3DS SERIES
In the final third of the race, the track opens into an open gliding section where racers have to avoid floating asteroids and fly through a series of smaller, spread-out star rings to stay in flight.
Partway through the track, a glider launchpad leads directly into a large star ring that gives the racers a small speed boost.
Amphibious Automobile: After all, underwater racing wouldn't be the same without them.
Airplane Arms: Wiggler is almost constantly doing this with his upper two arms.Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: Piranha Plant Slide makes you drive through one, albeit a colourful Nintendo version.
