GBA Boo Lake

Boo Lake is the second race of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It is, unlike the name would imply, a pier with a lot of gaps, like the Ghost Valley courses from Super Mario Kart. Boo Lake contains a considerable amount of Coins and Item Boxes. There are Boos which hold lanterns on this course, which are very helpful. If the player falls off of the track, contrary to what the name says, they do not fall into water and instead into a pit. There is a bridge that flickers, making it hard to see on the part where the path splits around a hole with the bump on it, to the right of this area. The course shares its music with Broken Pier, part of which is an arrangement of the music used for the Ghost Valley courses from Super Mario Kart.

The course appears in Mario Kart Tour starting with the 2022 Halloween Tour.

Course layout
The race starts out on a long, straight wooden road that eventually leads to a turn to the right. The turn will lead the player into a boost panel and a bump that makes the player bump up. The result of the effect is that the player crosses a large pit, in which they may fall into if they decide to swerve or bump into an opponent. In this small platform, there is another boost panel and bump that will serve the same function as before. There is a boost panel on the left of the platform to fly further. After that, there is an option to take a boost panel to the right, but in 150cc mode, the option to take that is inaccessible unless the player slows down and backs up. After the boost panel is a sharp turn right, which leads into another area.

The path splits and rejoins in this area of the track. There is a bump over a pit, in between the splitting path. The player may successfully fly over the pit if they use a Mushroom to boost and fly far with the bump (though it is possible to cross the gap without a Mushroom if the race is set to 150cc). After this part is a slow turn to the right and a U-turn to the right, which leads to a straight road, with some Boos carrying lanterns to light up some areas. The Boos will laugh at the player if they happen to cross underneath one, but it will not do anything else to help or hinder the player. After this straight path is a U-turn to the left, which is not very sharp and could be easily cleared without bumping into any walls.

After the U-turn is a slight curve to the left, which has a lot of bumps for the player to slightly get bumped up in the air. After turning to the right, the player arrives at the area where the finish line is. Before the finish line, there are several bumps; some that make the player fly over a very small pit in the left and right part of the track.

Shortcuts
There are two shortcuts that the player can take. The first is quite short and narrow, and comes directly before the first small branching in the path. It is extremely hard to see, and resembles a ladder. Due to how easy it is to fall off and the small amount of time gained by using it successfully, it is an extremely risky path to take. The second is after the straight road with some Boos holding lanterns to light up the night. After the last Boo, the player may notice a narrow bridge to the left of their side, just before the U-turn. The player may proceed to cross the bridge to cut time, but it is very easy to fall off due to the narrowness of the bridge. However, it is nowhere near as narrow as the first, and is included on the map.

Mario Kart Tour
Boo Lake appears in a promotional picture for the Autumn Celebration event for Mario Kart Tour, displayed under the 2022 Halloween Tour. The course now resembles the SNES Ghost Valley courses even more, and there are also more walls around the course compared to the original version. It now has a large lake beneath it, unlike the original iteration. The two patches of light at the beginning have switched sides, and the starting line is now in between the two lit areas, rather than behind them. The starting line also is now accompanied by two posts, presumably holding a Mario Kart sign, which was absent in all Super Circuit courses, including Boo Lake.

The road leading up to the first jump now slopes downwards slightly, and the jumps themselves are now executed using regular ramps, rather than the usual yellow ones seen in other GBA courses; however, unlike other GBA courses in Tour such as GBA Bowser's Castle 3, these ramps do not feature Dash Panels. There are also now Item Boxes present in the air after the ramp.
