It is one of the few retro courses to not appear in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and is also one of the three ''Super Mario Kart'' courses in the game to have not previously appeared as a retro course since ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the other two being [[Vanilla Lake 1]] and [[Choco Island 1]].<ref>Nintendo Mobile (October 21, 2019).

The jump pad, gap, and 90° turn near the shortcut were moved back, and the straight following said turn is wider. The shortcut itself is blocked by a [[Wooden cutout|cutout]] of Boos, which hides a jump pad behind it. Additionally, the smoother turn at the end of the shortcut is wider. Unlike the original, guard edges aren't destroyed after bumping into them, and there are more present on the insides of the smoother 90° turns, the second of which was made sharp. This course is favored by [[Luigi]], [[Pink Shy Guy]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Halloween)]], and [[King Boo|King Boo (Luigi's Mansion)]]. This Course is also favored by [[Yoshi (species)|Black Yoshi]] and [[Dry Bones|Dry Bones (Gold)]] if both drivers are at Level 6.

In the [[Halloween Tour]], Ghost Valley 1 appears as the first course in the Dry Bones Cup, the third course in the Toadette Cup, and the location of the challenge in the Baby Daisy Cup. It also has a Reverse variant which appears as the first course in the Baby Luigi Cup, and a Trick variant which appears as the third course in the Yoshi Cup and the first course in the King Boo Cup.
