Editing SNES Donut Plains 3

Donut Plains 3 reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second race of the [[Banana Cup]] and is the only SNES track from among the base ''Mario Kart 8'' content. It now features a starting banner composed of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' styled blocks and the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo on top. One notable difference is that the graphics do not resemble the original SNES style, unlike ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', instead featuring bushes, [[Toad House]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, and [[? Block]]s in the background, as well as a fewer number of hills, three of which are brown, more resembling the backdrop of {{classic link|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}}. A ''[[Super Mario World]]'' styled [[fortress]] with [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] is also added, beside the first bridge. The trees are now on the track itself, in the second half of the course. The starting point has the ''Mario Kart'' logo's letters in four colors (red, green, yellow, and blue) on the top of a series of yellow blocks held up by larger, different-colored blocks.

One of the new features included is the ability to [[Underwater driving|race underwater]] in the lake below the bridges. The breaks in the bridges are encountered a bit earlier than they originally were, and the end of the second bridge has collapsed. The lake is much smaller than it used to be, and there is no water on the other side after the second bridge; thus, the peninsula no longer exists. The track's width has been evened out; it is also banked at various points. Monty Moles now act as they do in {{classic link|Wii|Moo Moo Meadows}}, moving underground before popping out, instead of just hiding inside holes and popping out. The Monty Moles in the lake are now replaced by [[Cheep Cheep]]s. Thus, there are only two Monty Moles present, rather than nineteen. The mud patches in the last half of the course are now wide puddles. The walls within the course are thinner, and the one near the last S-curve has a gap in it. In this game, the whistles and beeps from the original theme only play when the player is in first place, alongside the normal first-place beats.<ref>https://youtu.be/pAhNk-4hSzk</ref>{{br|left}} The whistles and beeps also play during the second loop of the version from the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'', although without the usual first-place beats.

==Notes==

*This track and {{classic link|GCN|Dry Dry Desert}} are the only non-DLC classic courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' to not involve air gliding. Coincidentally, both take place in the Banana Cup, and are ran back-to-back.
