'''Ghost Valley 3''' is the third course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. It was subsequently reused in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as the second track of the [[Classic course#Mario Kart: Super Circuit|Extra Special Cup]]. The road for this course has numerous holes and has very few side rails.


Ghost Valley 3 is themed like the [[SNES Ghost Valley 1|Ghost Valley 1]] and [[SNES Ghost Valley 2|Ghost Valley 2]] tracks: racers drive around a wooden, dark bridge surrounded by [[Boo]]s. Being the final Ghost Valley track, it has the sharpest turns, narrow roadway, and large holes in the road itself. As in all Ghost Valley courses, side rails break upon being hit, which exposes racers to drops. The course has fewer side rails than the first two Ghost Valley courses. [[ramp|Jump pads]] are also placed in front of holes to cause players to fall off the course.

The course begins with a 90° turn to the right followed by a straightaway; the straightaway has the only set of [[? Panel]]s as well as a jump pad and two large holes in the road. There is then a sharp right turn and the track briefly zigzags before racers take a slight right turn and U-turn to the left. There is then a brief straight with another large hole in the middle of the road. Afterwards there is two more 90° right turns followed by a brief straight. This straight has several large holes as well as a [[Dash Panel|zipper]] which leads into a jump pad. After two right turns and one more brief straight, racers reach the finish line.
