SNES Donut Plains 1

Donut Plains 1 first appeared in Super Mario Kart, and appeared as a retro track in Mario Kart Super Circuit and Mario Kart DS

Appearance in Super Mario Kart
Donut Plains 1 is the second course in the Mushroom Cup of Super Mario Kart. It features a lake which is to be crossed by a bridge. Though the major part of the lake is surrounded by crash barriers, there are some places where the player can fall into the water. This is easily to be avoided however. Another obstacle of the course, alongside the fact that it is relatively curvy, is a large lake of mud just before the target line, which makes drivers' control over their Karts difficult.

Appearance in Mario Kart Super Circuit
In Mario Kart Super Circuit, Donut Plains 1 is the second track from the Extra Mushroom Cup. It uses the background of Riverside Park. An item box has been added to the right side at the start of the bend next to the part of the lake with no crash barrier. The pipes on the side of the road have also been removed.

Appearance in Mario Kart DS
Donut Plains 1 is the first course in the Banana Cup. Like every other Retro Super Mario Kart track in Mario Kart DS, it only has 3 laps instead of 5. Mission 2-3 is played on this track. Donut Plains 1 is not available in Wi-fi

Shortcuts

 * After the first bend after the bridge, there is a gap in the crash barrier. You can shroom through here to cut off a bit of the track.

''“Super Mario Kart vets are sure to recall the twists and turns on this nerve-racking track. Stay focused, or you’ll get muscled into the grass.”''

''“Sadly there are no sugary treats to be found here but Donut Plains 1 still makes for some pretty sweet racing. The layout is similar to Mario Circuit 1 but ‘donut’ be fooled into letting your guard down, as the trackside mud patches have caught many a driver unawares.”''
