Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]
Battle Course 3 is a very simple square-shaped course. It has four "L'-shaped walls which separate the course into a main "+"-shaped area and four square corners. The walls are multicolored and have grass within them. In the very middle of the course, there is a large circle of sand which can slow down players.

The course also returns as a classic battle course inMario Kart Wii. The inner walls are now color-coded (red, blue, yellow, and green).
