Is Daisy Circuit set in Sarasaland?

[memoryman3]

So I was playing a bit of Time Trials in Mario Kart Wii and found this out....

Now this may be a bit of a stretch, but the whole "seaside resort" theme, and these hills in the background sharing a pattern found in the seaside kingdom of Sarasaland - the Muda Kingdom - I can't help but think that Sarasaland's second physical appearance may have been under our noses for years...probably due to people disliking Daisy a lot

Here are the hills for reference.

Also, unlike the other circuits in the game, there are no Mushroom Kingdom hills in the background of the course, or Peach's Castle.

I like Daisy, though probably not as much as you do :P

Going to need a bit more than just a possible coincidental hill layout and lack of Peach's Castle (which a lot of courses don't have). It'd certainly be interesting if the course was set in Sarasaland, but there just isn't enough information to go off of here.

It just seems too deliberate to be just a coincidence. The Muda Kingdom itself seems based off Bermuda. Bermuda is located near the Tropic of Cancer....so it's pretty tropical, going by this image.

It doesn't seem like Daisy Circuit is set in some random seaside resort.

Still a nice theory though

A "nice theory".

I am very confident that the circuit takes place in Daisy's home kingdom. There's even what appears to be a palace. Daisy Hills didn't really have a palace or any of the links to Sarasaland I saw here.

That's pretty well noticed... I mean no one would take their time to properly look at the track, especially not this kind of track.

You could be right about this track being in Sarasaland, but maybe it's pure coincidence: every tropical world thing has those kinds of hills, including NSMBW and Kirby return to dream-Land. But still, this actually might be true since it's a Daisy track.

Keep in mind that just because it's a Daisy track doesn't mean it's immediately set in Sarasaland.
As far as I know, there's no palace shown in Sarasaland, so we can't confirm this is the same palace as the one Daisy rules from.

It's very possible this is set in Daisy's homeland, but there's not enough concrete evidence to support it.

I agree with Alex95. It's a reasonable head-canon though.

Sarasaland as a kingdom appeared in a GB game....which means that there is complete lack of detail due to system limitations. A lot of things that you would expect to appear in a kingdom aren't present, even if the artists intended for them to appear. Also, no one really bothered to interview Nintendo about these details so it might be one of those easter eggs like Totaka's Song is meant to be.

There's no need to shit on Reize's wording. There is a definite possibility that this track is located in Sarasaland, but without confirmation it IS still a theory.

It would help if the race track included some native Sarasaland creatures.
