Koopa Beach is a beautiful open environment and a nice respite from the rest of the game, assuming you don’t hit a sunbathing Cheep Cheep. Gone are the oppressive stacked tire walls and rails of other tracks. Due to its less restrictive design, Koopa Beach visually invites players to test their shortcut skills by driving off the path and cutting corners, but pushing it too far will lead to the deeper, darker water where racers will need to be fished out by Lakitu.
