Ghost Valley 1

Ghost Valley 1 is the the third track in Super Mario Kart and the third track in its Mushroom Cup. Because of this, it is also a beginner track.

Layout and Origins
Ghost Valley is based off the Ghost Houses in Super Mario World, though the biggest resemblance is the music. The track is fairly easy and barely has any obstacles besides barriers that fall if ran into, which players can then fall through if they run into the same area, and bouncy pads that can become enemies if used carelessly. It overall appears to be a bridge of a sort. Boos appear in the background, though they do not harm or bother the racers in any way. You start with a long path ahead of you with a few coins and a lot of item tiles. Up next is a slightly sharp turn, which there are a lot of in this track. These are what may make you run into barriers and possibly fall if it been already hit. You then meet a small u-turn with a few coins. You make your next turn and find a yellow
jump pad, then a few coins and then two other jump
pads with item pads that are nearly impossible to reach
if you use the pads. Then there's the next turn and
another jump pad which must be used to cross a broken
part of the bridge. You can then either make a an easy
right turn, grab a few coins, turn left and cross the finish
line, or you can master a really hard shortcut using a
Cape Feather, grab four coins, turn left and make the finish
line.

Future Appearances
Ghost Valley 1 has only appeared in Mario Kart: Super
Circuit with no jump pads. Otherwise, it has not made
any other future appearances.
