Sherbet Land (race course)

Sherbet Land is a snow and ice themed racetrack found in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.

Mario Kart 64
Penguins litter the track, causing spin-outs if a racer hits them. A player can cut a corner by hopping over a small crevice in some spots, but risks falling into the ice-cold water below. A cave with a lot of penguins marks the halfway point of the track. The course resembles the Vanilla Lake 1 and Vanilla Lake 2 courses from Super Mario Kart.

This course returns in Mario Kart Wii. The graphics have improved on this track like all the other Retro courses. The entire course is offroad, so the best vehicle to use is the Magikruiser. A trick ramp has been placed near the locate of the hidden item boxes and Dash Panels have been placed in the cave. It appears as the first course of the Banana Cup.

Trivia

 * In Mario Kart Wii, the player can get to the giant Penguin by hopping off the ice and using a Bullet Bill. However, once the Player gets there, Lakitu will immediately get them.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The course is set in a frozen environment, starting out on an ice rink where some ice skating Shy Guys go ice skating and serve as hazards. A lake can be fallen into on the right side. The rink leads into a frozen tunnel with some pillars. The tunnel exits on a short snowy path that leads to another ice rink with giant Freezies. If a player should touch one, he or she will be frozen and the Freezie will slide along the rink at an angle relevant to how it was hit. Should the Freezie hit a wall, it will shatter. At the end of the area, the course repeats.

It is possible to use the slanted walls as jumps, and therefore, shortcuts, but if the player fails to clear the Jump and lands on the snowy bank, a moderate speed deduction is the penalty.
