'''Banshee Boardwalk''' (''Hyuudoro Lake'' in the Japanese Version) is the third track in the [[Special Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It resembles the Ghost Valley courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. The race begins on a boardwalk with some guardrails missing. Because the setting is at night, it is easy to fall into the water below. Additionally, a giant [[Cheep-Cheep]] will [[Jump]] out of the water in an attempt to swallow the racers whole (even though it never does). The second half of the race features an abandoned shack where [[Bat (disambiguation)|bat]]s fly at the racers, lowering their speed. The bats don't appear in Time Trial mode. Additionally, in some parts of the track some [[Boos]] appear, but they just laugh when the player passes by.

It resembles the [[Ghost Valley]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', in terms of overall theme and layout. This course's music also samples from part of those courses' music.

Banshee Boardwalk reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second race of the [[Lightning Cup]].
This course returned as the second track in the [[Lightning Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The Cheep Cheep is replaced by a [[Boss Bass]] and the bats were replaced by [[Swooper]]s. The Boss Bass jumps so high, he cannot swallow the racers. Finally, the Swoopers appear in Time Trial. The Boos (like in [[Luigi's Mansion (place)#Mario Kart DS|Luigi's Mansion]]) appear only during Grand Prix and Time Trial.

==Instruction Manual Description==
[[File:MK64BansheeBoardwalk2.png|thumb|right|Yoshi racing on the track.]]
''A dark and mysterious boardwalk over water is the location for this course. At the corners, some guardrails are missing, making its design quite rough. At the old building that you pass through along the way, try not to run into the large army of bats.''
===Course layout===
The course begins on a boardwalk with guardrails covering most of the track on both sides. There is first a 90° turn to the left followed by a 90° turn to the right and a 45° turn to the right. Racers then briefly drive straight and encounter the first set of [[Item Box]]es, before taking a sharp 135° turn to the left. Afterwards there is a straightaway, where a [[Big Cheep Cheep|giant Cheep-Cheep]] will jump out of the water, of no consequence to racers. Following the straightaway is a 45° left turn, a brief straight with another item set, and another 45° left turn immediately followed by a 45° right turn. Racers then drive along another brief straight where the boardwalk is broken and racers fall down onto another part of it. A 45° left turn and a 90° left turn follow, and then racers pass under a "WELCOME" sign as they reach an abandoned building. When they enter the building, they must immediately go right, left, and then right around several walls. Inside the building there are also [[Bat (Mario Kart 64)|bats]] that fly at racers, and part of the floor is missing. The bats do not appear in Time Trials. Racers then encounter another item set and the exit of the building shortly after. Upon exiting the building, they return to the boardwalk and make a 90° right turn. There is then a straightaway, a U-turn to the left with the last item set in the middle, and another straightaway which brings racers to the finish line.
 
[[Boo]]s also appear throughout the track, though they merely laugh at racers and do not hinder them.

Banshee Boardwalk makes its classic course debut as the second course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The Cheep-Cheep is replaced with a [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]], and the bats are replaced by [[Swoop]]s. The Swoops also appear in Time Trial. The Boos (as in [[DS Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]]) appear only during Grand Prix and Time Trial. The course was never available in Wi-Fi. It is the longest retro course of the game. In addition, this is the only Lightning Cup course in the game to not reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and is only one of three classic courses in ''Mario Kart DS'' with this distinction, the others being {{classic-link|N64|Moo Moo Farm}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}.
 
===Missions===
There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Banshee Boardwalk:
*'''Mission 7-8''': The player controls [[Luigi]], who must hit 10 [[Item Box]]es within 65 seconds. Most Item Boxes are part of sets composed of one real Item Box and several [[Fake Item Box|fake ones]]. Additionally, there are [[Banana]]s all over the track. All Item Boxes contain a [[Mushroom]].

Banshee Boardwalk (transliterated as Hyudoro Pond[1][2] on two respective occasions) is the third course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart 64 and the penultimate track of the game. It resembles the Ghost Valley courses from Super Mario Kart, in terms of overall theme and layout. This course's music also samples from part of those courses' music.

Banshee Boardwalk reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart DS as the second race of the Lightning Cup.

Course layout[edit]

The course begins on a boardwalk with guardrails covering most of the track on both sides. There is first a 90° turn to the left followed by a 90° turn to the right and a 45° turn to the right. Racers then briefly drive straight and encounter the first set of Item Boxes, before taking a sharp 135° turn to the left. Afterwards there is a straightaway, where a giant Cheep-Cheep will jump out of the water, of no consequence to racers. Following the straightaway is a 45° left turn, a brief straight with another item set, and another 45° left turn immediately followed by a 45° right turn. Racers then drive along another brief straight where the boardwalk is broken and racers fall down onto another part of it. A 45° left turn and a 90° left turn follow, and then racers pass under a "WELCOME" sign as they reach an abandoned building. When they enter the building, they must immediately go right, left, and then right around several walls. Inside the building there are also bats that fly at racers, and part of the floor is missing. The bats do not appear in Time Trials. Racers then encounter another item set and the exit of the building shortly after. Upon exiting the building, they return to the boardwalk and make a 90° right turn. There is then a straightaway, a U-turn to the left with the last item set in the middle, and another straightaway which brings racers to the finish line.

Boos also appear throughout the track, though they merely laugh at racers and do not hinder them.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

The intro for N64 Banshee Boardwalk in Mario Kart DS.

Banshee Boardwalk makes its classic course debut as the second course of the Lightning Cup in Mario Kart DS. The Cheep-Cheep is replaced with a Bubba, and the bats are replaced by Swoops. The Swoops also appear in Time Trial. The Boos (as in Luigi's Mansion) appear only during Grand Prix and Time Trial. The course was never available in Wi-Fi. It is the longest retro course of the game. In addition, this is the only Lightning Cup course in the game to not reappear in Mario Kart Tour, and is only one of three classic courses in Mario Kart DS with this distinction, the others being N64 Moo Moo Farm and GCN Luigi Circuit.

Missions[edit]

There is one mission that takes place on Banshee Boardwalk:

  • Mission 7-8: The player controls Luigi, who must hit 10 Item Boxes within 65 seconds. Most Item Boxes are part of sets composed of one real Item Box and several fake ones. Additionally, there are Bananas all over the track. All Item Boxes contain a Mushroom.

      A dark and mysterious boardwalk over water is the location for this course. At the corners, some guardrails are missing, making its design quite rough. At the old building that you pass through along the way, try not to run into the large army of bats.


  • Website description:
    • English:
      Missing guardrails add to the challenge of this haunted raceway.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

  • Website description:
    • English (American):
      This boardwalk was made for racing. Narrow straightaways and spooky hallways make for some of the most unpredictable racing action you've ever seen!
    • English (British):
      This rickety wooden walkway is haunted by the spirits of drivers who've fallen to their doom from its barrier-less bends. At least, that's what the rumours say. But say 'Boo' to the old ghost stories and concentrate on keeping your kart on the straight and narrow.
