“Have a spirit showing at the ghostly movie theatre, Boo Cinema. It's a whole new kind of 'drive-in theater.'”

—Mario Kart World Direct^[1]

Boo Cinema is the third course of theLeaf Cup inMario Kart World, and is the starting point of theSpiny Rally. It is set in the ghostly eastern part of the forest region in the north of the game's map.^[2] The course, as the name indicates, is set around a ghostly cinema filled withBoos. Through the theater's screen is a sepia-tinted section with giant film strips which are driven on. The movie that is driven through is titledBoo Castle, and starsPeach in her Vacation outfit. In addition to the frequentNabbit,Chargin' Chuck,Spike, andPianta, players can turn intoPeepa on this course via theKamek item. It is the only course in the game where players can unlock Peepa.

The course is accessed by driving through variousGhost Valley courses.

Course layout[edit]

The course begins with a room with two right turns, followed by a room where the track turns right then left. At the end of the second room, racers drive through the movie screen, upon which the course gains a sepia tint, which also applies to the racers.^[3] This leads to the film strip road (showingBoo Castle's titular castle and a terrified Peach), which turns right then goes into a long left turn withDash Panels on the outer half of it. There is then a drop down to a straightaway, with a shorter drop at its end. Next there is a U-turn to the left, into a turn to the right, into aGlide Ramp that ends the film strip section. There is then a straightaway, followed by a large right turn with raised rails in the middle. This leads to thefinish line.^[4]

Notes[edit]

• The countdown on the movie screen is synced with the player's distance from the screen; it counts down when the player moves towards the screen, and rewinds if the player moves away. The rate of countdown or rewind is proportional to the player's speed, and it halts when the player is still.
