Vanilla Lake 1 is the third course of the Star Cup in the game Super Mario Kart. It was subsequently reused in Mario Kart: Super Circuit as the first track in the Extra Star Cup and in Mario Kart Tour starting with the Ice Tour, with the 2020 Trick Tour adding in the R/T variant. It is a short course taking place on a frozen lake. This track shares its music with Vanilla Lake 2.

Super Mario Kart

The slippery ground makes it harder to control the kart. At the edge of the track, the lake is snow-covered; driving here will slow the kart down. There are many obstacles along the way, such as pipes, and at some parts of the track, the ice is broken and exposes water. In addition, there are many ice block tiles blocking the way, which break if bumped into to.

Vanilla Lake 1 reappears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and is the first track in the Extra Star Cup. It uses the background from Snow Land. The pipe hazards are removed from the track, and an extra Item Box is added on the left side of the small pool.

Vanilla Lake 1 reappears as a classic course for the first time in Mario Kart Tour, debuting in the Ice Tour. In this rendition, most of the snow blocks were removed, a Glide Ramp was added left of the now-first Item Box set, the walls within the course are thinner, and the wall to the right of the second set of Item Boxes (which replace most of the second set of snow blocks) has a break in it, as well as another Item Box. The course now has a starting banner with the classic Mario Kart logo. This course is a favorite of Lemmy, Blue Koopa (Freerunning), Penguin Luigi, Ice Mario, Dixie Kong, Daisy (Fairy), Penguin Mario, Tanooki Rosalina, and Bowser (Santa). It is also a favorite of Mario (Classic) and Wario (Hiker) if they are at level 3, and Yoshi (Reindeer) if he is at level 8.

Due to the Vanilla Lake setting returning in this game for the first time (besides its Mario Kart: Super Circuit reappearance), this course, along with SNES Donut Plains 1 and SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2, is one of the few Super Mario Kart courses to retain their original music, rather than reusing a cover from a later Mario Kart game. It is also one of the few retro tracks that do not appear in Mario Kart 7.

Excluding the R/T variant, Vanilla Lake 1 currently has the longest gap between reappearances in tours, with the N, R, and T variants being absent since the New Year's 2022 Tour.

For this course's tour appearances, see List of SNES Vanilla Lake 1 tour appearances in Mario Kart Tour.
