Light is the fifth course and features an open track built of hexagonal tiles. The path itself is fairly straightforward, with a layout similar to the [[Grass (course)|Grass]] course but this time headed counterclockwise and with the finish line at the right. The default number of laps needed to complete this course is six. | Light is the fifth course and features an open track built of hexagonal tiles.

These rails can only be used when the light at the entry point is on, and switch on and off at random intervals. When used, the light rail activates, taking the racer to the predetermined exit point. Based on which rail is taken, this can result in a very large shortcut, and repeat successes with these rails can result in very fast races. In addition, at various points on the course, small hexagonal columns appear which serve as obstacles. Running into one breaks the column, but slows down the racer in the process. | ||
In Free Play mode, the hazards of Light are disabled. This means that there are no breakable columns and the light rails do not activate. | In Free Play mode, the hazards of Light are disabled. This means that there are no breakable columns and the light rails do not activate. | ||
