+===Course layout===
 [[File:SMK Donut Plains 3 Screenshot.png|thumb|left|[[Yoshi]] crossing the first bridge]]
-Donut Plains 3 features a giant lake, a peninsula jutting far into the water, and two broken bridges without side-rails. The racers must hop over the crack in the second bridge to avoid falling into the lake. [[Monty Mole|Gopher]]s live in this stage as well, both on land and in water.
+The course features a giant lake, a peninsula jutting far into the water, and two broken bridges without side-rails. It begins by immediately narrowing and leading racers into a right turn followed by a bridge that is broken on the right side. Racers then reach the only set of [[? Panel|Question Block]]s and take a U-turn to the right. Here there is a second bridge which has a gap in the middle that racers are required to hop over to avoid falling into the lake. After a sharp U-turn to the left, racers briefly serpentine along the peninsula before reaching a sharp right U-turn; the outside of the turn has [[Monty Mole|Gopher]]s while the inside of the turn has slippery mud. The track then widens again and racers drive through more slippery mud as they take a slight right turn, followed by a left turn. Afterwards there is one more U-turn to the right, with Gophers on the outside and mud on the inside, and racers reach the finish line soon after.

 ==''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''==
-[[File:MKSC Donut Plains 3.png|thumb|left|[[Luigi]] near the extra item box that was added to this version of the track]]
 The course reappears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and is the fourth and last track of the [[Extra Cup|Extra Star Cup]]. It uses the background from [[GBA Riverside Park|Riverside Park]]. A [[ramp|jump pad]] was placed on the second bridge before the crack, and the small hole before it was filled in, making it easier to cross. The [[Monty Mole]]s were removed, and an extra Item Box was added before the final S-curve.
-===Shortcut===
+===Shortcuts===
 A shortcut requires a Mushroom at the start of the second bridge. The player must use the item when they get on the bridge so they are still going fast at the ramp and can do a high jump. The player must then aim slightly to the left so they overshoot the barrier separating the bridge from the starting line and land in front of the starting line. If the player then turns and crosses the starting line, it registers that a lap was completed. Using this shortcut, it is possible to complete a lap in under nine seconds.

-[[File:MK8-Course-SNES DonutPlains3.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Donut Plains 3 in ''Mario Kart 8'' with upgraded HD visuals]]
 Donut Plains 3 reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second race of the [[Banana Cup]] and the only classic race from ''Super Mario Kart'' from among the base ''Mario Kart 8'' content. It now features a starting banner composed of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' styled blocks and the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo on top. One notable difference is that the graphics do not resemble the original SNES style, unlike ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', instead featuring bushes, [[Toad House]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, and [[? Block]]s in the background, as well as a fewer number of hills, three of which are brown, more resembling the backdrop of {{classic-link|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}}. A ''[[Super Mario World]]'' styled [[fortress]] with [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] is also added, beside the first bridge. The trees are now on the track itself, in the second half of the course. It is also one of the selectable battle courses in ''Mario Kart 8''. The starting point has the ''Mario Kart'' logo's letters in four colors (red, green, yellow, and blue) on the top of a series of yellow blocks held up by larger, different-colored blocks.

-[[File:MKT Donut Plains 3 Scene.jpg|thumb|The course in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
+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, while the lake itself has been restored to its original size and shape compared to ''Mario Kart 8''. The course retains the visuals of [[RMX Donut Plains 1]] and the other two Donut Plains courses in the game.

-The course also appears as '''Donut Plains 3R''' (reverse), '''Donut Plains 3T''' (with ramps), and '''Donut Plains 3R/T''' (reverse and with ramps). Alongside [[GBA Boo Lake]], this course is the first classic course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to debut alongside its R/T variant.

In the T variant, there are two [[Chain Chomp]]s, with one on the first turn and one near the (now blocked off) gap in the wall at the end of the track. In the R/T variant, [[Cheep Cheep]]s now jump out of the water. Alongside [[GBA Boo Lake]], this course is the first classic course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to debut alongside its R/T variant.

 ==Trivia==
-*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.
