SNES Donut Plains 3: Difference between revisions

|online_play=Available ([[Wii U]] until early April 2024, [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]])

Donut Plains 3 features a giant lake, a peninsula jutting far into the water, and two broken bridges without side-rails. After the first turn, racers must cross the first bridge while avoiding the hole on the right side. After the following U-turn, they must hop over the gap in the second bridge to avoid falling into the lake. The rest of the track is then a combination of sharp turns and some more narrow road. [[Monty Mole]]s still appear as the stage's main hazard, and reside both on land and in water.

Donut Plains 3 returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Halloween Tour (2022)|2022 Halloween Tour]]. Unlike its previous appearance in ''Mario Kart 8'', it uses its original layout, although the first bridge is filled in entirely and both bridges have fences on each side. The shape of the course itself largely matches the version from ''Mario Kart 8'', most notably with the wider beginning, though the S-curve after the second bridge is not as sharp. Like in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', there is a ramp on the second bridge. Most of the long mud patch before the last S-curve is gone (leaving only the part inside the second U-turn), and a new one at the first turn (replacing some of the grass originally present there) was added. The gap in the wall from the ''Mario Kart 8'' version is also present, though the underwater sections and Cheep Cheeps that were previously added in that game are absent. There are only six Monty Moles in the course, with one in the first mud patch, two at the second U-turn, and three at the last S-curve. The walls covering the border of the lake have been removed. The course retains the visuals of [[RMX Donut Plains 1]] and the other two Donut Plains courses in the game.

*This track and {{classic-link|3DS|DK Jungle}} are the only courses that have been in both the Special and Banana Cups. Coincidentally, both are the first courses of their original games' Special Cups, and both return in the same game, ''Mario Kart 8'' (and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''). Additionally, this track and {{classic-link|GCN|Dry Dry Desert}} are the only non-DLC classic courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' to not involve air gliding. Coincidentally, both take place in the Banana Cup, and are ran back-to-back.
