'''Boo Lake''' is the second race of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. It is, unlike the name would imply, a pier with a lot of gaps, like the [[Ghost Valley]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. Boo Lake contains a considerable amount of [[Coin]]s and [[Item Box]]es. There are [[Boo]]s which hold lanterns on this course. If the player falls off of the track, contrary to what the course's name indicates, they do not fall into water and instead into a pit. There is a bridge that flickers, making it hard to see on the part where the path splits around a hole with the bump on it, to the right of this area. The course shares its music with [[Broken Pier]], part of which is an arrangement of the music used for the Ghost Valley courses from ''Super Mario Kart''. | '''Boo Lake''' is the second race of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

The | The race starts out on a long, straight wooden road that eventually leads to a turn to the right. The turn will lead the player into a boost panel and a bump that makes the player bump up. The result of the effect is that the player crosses a large pit, in which they may fall into if they decide to swerve or bump into an opponent. In this small platform, there is another boost panel and bump that will serve the same function as before. There is a boost panel on the left of the platform to fly further. After that, there is an option to take a boost panel to the right, but in 150cc mode, the option to take that is inaccessible unless the player slows down and backs up. After the boost panel is a sharp turn right, which leads into another area. | ||
The path splits and rejoins in this area of the track. There is a bump over a pit, in between the splitting path. The player may successfully fly over the pit if they use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to boost and fly far with the bump (though it is possible to cross the gap without a Mushroom if the race is set to 150cc). After this part is a slow turn to the right and a U-turn to the right, which leads to a straight road, with some Boos carrying lanterns to light up some areas. The Boos will laugh at the player if they happen to cross underneath one, but it will not do anything else to help or hinder the player. After this straight path is a U-turn to the left, which is not very sharp and could be easily cleared without bumping into any walls. | |||
After the U-turn is a slight curve to the left, which has a lot of bumps for the player to slightly get bumped up in the air. After turning to the right, the player arrives at the area where the finish line is. Before the finish line, there are several bumps; some that make the player fly over a very small pit in the left and right part of the track. | |||
===Shortcuts=== | ===Shortcuts=== | ||
The first | There are two shortcuts that the player can take. The first is quite short and narrow, and comes directly before the first small branching in the path. It is extremely hard to see, and resembles a ladder. Due to how easy it is to fall off and the small amount of time gained by using it successfully, it is an extremely risky path to take. The second is after the straight road with some Boos holding lanterns to light up the night. After the last Boo, the player may notice a narrow bridge to the left of their side, just before the U-turn. The player may proceed to cross the bridge to cut time, but it is very easy to fall off due to the narrowness of the bridge. However, it is nowhere near as narrow as the first, and is included on the map. | ||

Boo Lake | Boo Lake appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Halloween Tour (2022)|2022 Halloween Tour]] along with [[SNES Donut Plains 3]] and [[DS Twilight House]]. The course now resembles the [[Ghost Valley|SNES Ghost Valley]] courses even more, and there are also more walls around the course compared to the original version. In addition to the manor and dead forest from the original, a few dilapidated fortress structures have been added into the background, along with clouds being added to the sky. Rather than taking place over a pit, the course now takes place on a large lake (as its name implies to), which is driven into, making this the second classic course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to feature a newly added [[underwater driving|underwater]] section, the first one being [[GBA Cheep-Cheep Island]]. [[Fish Bone]]s act as obstacles in the lake section. The starting line is now accompanied by two posts holding a ''Mario Kart'' sign, which was absent in all ''Super Circuit'' courses. Many lamp posts have also been added to the course, replacing the candle-holding Boos in the original version. | ||
The layout | The layout was recreated relatively faithfully despite the new underwater sections and elevation changes, akin to {{classic-link|GBA|Snow Land}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. However, the bridge before the split path was removed and the turn leading to it was simplified to no longer have a diagonal portion. The turn after also begins immediately rather than there being a straightaway. The split path itself had its left side widened and the ramp on the gap has been removed. The bridge cut around the U-turn has been changed - there is now a gap in the wall where it originally was, with a small platform jutting out on the other side with [[barrel]]s blocking the way. There is an added alternate path that appears on the minimap used in the R, T, and R/T versions of the track. The road leading up to the first jump now slopes downwards slightly, and the jumps themselves are now executed using regular ramps. There are also now [[Item Box]]es present in the air after the ramp. The course is a favorite of [[Mario|Mario (Halloween)]], [[White Tanooki Mario]], [[Mario|Mario (King)]], [[King Boo|King Boo (Luigi's Mansion)]], [[Petey Piranha]], and the [[Mii|King Boo]] and [[Mii|Chain Chomp Mii Racing Suits]]. | ||

This course, | Like [[GBA Sunset Wilds]] and [[GBA Sky Garden]], this course received a new arrangement of its music. This course, alongside Donut Plains 3, are the first classic courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to debut with their R/T variants. Boo Lake is one of two courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' whose minimap includes a section of the course that is not accessible on the main variant, alongside [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 2]]. In both courses, the exclusive sections are removed from the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' versions. | ||

Boo Lake reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 3 in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It is the second course of the [[Rock Cup]]. The course is based on its ''Mario Kart Tour'' design, but with graphical updates; notably, the cartoony clouds have been completely removed in favor of a more realistic skybox.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iaCRaF8ET8]</ref> The ramps around the course have been redesigned to match the color scheme of the bridge. Wooden arrow signs have been added throughout the course. Thus far, Boo Lake is currently the first and only course that was added via a DLC pack to feature underwater driving in both the original ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' DLC and the Booster Course Pass. Additionally, the section beginning on the U-turn leading into the lake and the underwater portion of the course have been converted to an [[anti-gravity]] section. The Barrels blocking the shortcut have been replaced with bush cutouts. The alternate path that appeared in ''Mario Kart Tour'' for its variants was removed from the layout of this version, but its scaffolding remains as decoration. Boo Lake is the only course in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to mark the end of an anti-gravity section with an [[Antigravity Panel]]. | |||
Internally, {{classic|GBA|Boo Lake}} was referred to as "Cnsw_33" in version 2.1.0, implying it may have originally been intended to be the third course of the Rock Cup. | |||
