'''Twisted Mansion''' is the third race track of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This course is a large haunted mansion inhabited by many [[Boo]]s, and as such it can be considered as a spiritual successor to [[DS Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. There are fifty-one [[Coin]]s located on this track.


'''Twisted Mansion''' is the third race track in the [[Flower Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. This course takes place in and around a haunted mansion, and features many [[Boo]]s.
This is one of the three courses (along with [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] and [[Toad Harbor]]) that were playable at E3 2013. Incidentally, all three take place in the [[Flower Cup]], in the same order as the original demo. This course was originally named "'''Boo House'''" in the demo, as indicated by the sign on the mansion's entrance.

At the starting line, the player starts in the courtyard, where a large statue of [[Boohemoth]] can be seen. As the race starts, the door will slowly open. Once the player drives inside, they drive into an [[anti-gravity]] section that leads through the dining room. At the dining room, the track splits and the player can drive on either wall. The player then goes to an underwater section through an arch shaped like [[Bouldergeist]]'s head. The underwater section doubles with anti-gravity, eventually splitting into two paths. Here, [[Fishbone]]s can be seen, but they are for decoration and cannot be interacted with. The upper route leads to a higher boost pad than the lower. It then leads to a gliding section across a courtyard similar to the one in [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. If the player takes the upper route, they can land on a balcony and take a shorter route, whereas the lower one must climb a flight of stairs. They then exit the house, which leaves the final stretch to the finish line. Here, some hammer-wielding knight statues being possessed by Boos attack.

At the starting line, the player starts in the courtyard, where a large statue of [[Boohemoth]] can be seen.

Twisted Mansion is the third race track of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This course is a large haunted mansion inhabited by many Boos, and as such it can be considered as a spiritual successor to Luigi's Mansion from Mario Kart DS. There are fifty-one Coins located on this track.

This is one of the three courses (along with Mario Circuit and Toad Harbor) that were playable at E3 2013. Incidentally, all three take place in the Flower Cup, in the same order as the original demo. This course was originally named "Boo House" in the demo, as indicated by the sign on the mansion's entrance.

Course layout[edit]

Twisted Mansion, from Mario Kart 8.
The course as seen from the starting line

At the starting line, the player starts in the courtyard, where a large statue of Boohemoth can be seen. Once the player drives inside, they drive into an anti-gravity section that leads through the dining room. It serves as a split path with wavy physics like Bowser's Castle in Mario Kart Wii. The player then goes through a library, and into another anti-gravity segment, traveling into an underwater corridor through an arch shaped like Bouldergeist's head. The underwater section eventually splits into two paths, where Fish Bones can be seen. Both end in a glider segment off a Glide Ramp across a courtyard similar to the one in Luigi's Mansion, with the upper route exiting along a wall; racers who take that path slowly twist back into the standard position. If the players take the upper route, they can land on a balcony and take a shorter route, whereas the lower one must climb a flight of stairs. They then exit the house and enter the final stretch to the finish line. Here, some Hammer Knights being possessed by Boos attack.

During the countdown to the race, the doors at the entrance of the mansion open up. This is one of six courses to have an opening animation during the countdown, with the others being Electrodrome, Mount Wario, Bowser's Castle, Excitebike Arena, and Piranha Plant Cove.

Shortcuts[edit]

  • After the first split path anti-gravity section, there is a dirt section through the aisle in the library, that the player can boost through with a Mushroom, Golden Mushroom, or Stars.
  • At the end of the course, using a type of boost, the player can bypass the Hammer Knights and the final turn.

Sponsors[edit]

Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack liner note[edit]

"The synthesiser melody line is meant to suggest the sound of ghosts singing. We imagined all the Boos dancing along to this track, which means that even though it might sound like it's from a horror film, it has a slight comical edge."
