'''Koopa Beach 1''' is the first course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. It was subsequently reused in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as the third track of the [[Extra Cup|Extra Lightning Cup]]. It is set on a series of sandbanks in the middle of a blue sea.

This is the only Koopa Beach course that has not returned in a later ''Mario Kart'' game, barring ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''.

===Course layout===
[[File:SMK Koopa Beach 1.png|thumb|left|[[Princess Peach|Peach]] racing at Koopa Beach 1]]
It is a very short course, being the shortest one in ''Super Mario Kart'', and takes place on a set of small islands. Its hazards consist of [[Cheep Cheep]]s and green 'rough' sections of the beach which slow [[kart]]s down. The course's layout is composed of several right turns and areas where racers must briefly drive through shallow water. The shallow water will only slow racers down a bit, but the deep dark-blue water must be avoided. A few jump pads also appear along the track. Towards the end of the track, racers must go to the left or right of a rough section of the beach; [[? Panel]]s can be found on both sides. An extra ? Panel also appears on the right side, just off the edge of the beach.

The course reappeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and is the third track of the [[Extra Cup|Extra Lightning Cup]]. It uses the background from [[Shy Guy Beach]], including the [[Shy Guy Galleon|pirate ship]]. The Cheep Cheeps and jump pads were removed, as were the Item Boxes on the right side of the second-to-last island.

===Glitches===
By turning right towards the inside of the course immediately after the finish line, the player is able to drift and hop (with the assistance of a [[Dash Mushroom]]) in a circle, returning to the area immediately before the finish line. By crossing it, a full lap is counted. This exploit skips almost all of the course.<ref>{{cite|author=Mario Kart Super Circuit|date=September 29, 2013|title=SNES Koopa Beach 1 (SC): 0'07"66 by Su|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfliDVHErIk
