-The slippery ground makes it harder to control the [[kart]]. At the edge of the track, the lake is snow-covered; driving here will slow the kart down. There are many obstacles along the way, such as [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], and at some parts of the track, the ice is broken and exposes water. In addition, there are many [[Snow block|ice block]] tiles blocking the way, which break if bumped into to.
+===Course layout===
+The layout of this course involves one continuous clockwise loop around a mostly rectangular area that is blocked off by walls. Shortly after the first turn is the only set of [[? Panel]]s. The slippery ground makes it difficult to control the [[kart]], and at the edge of the track, the lake is snow-covered; driving here will slow the kart down. The track also features [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] and [[Snow block|ice blocks]] as obstacles; racers bumping into the ice blocks will break them. At two points along the track, the ice is broken, exposing water. If racers fall into the water and do not drive out quickly enough, they will be picked up by [[Lakitu]].

-Vanilla Lake 1 reappears as a [[classic course]] for the first time in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[Ice Tour]]. Aesthetically, the hills are much taller and have zigzag patterns on them, while clouds also now appear. In this rendition, most of the snow blocks were removed, a [[Glide Ramp]] was added left of the now-first [[Item Box]] set, the walls within the course are thinner, and the wall to the right of the second set of Item Boxes (which replace most of the second set of snow blocks) has a break in it, as well as another Item Box. The course now has a starting banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo. Like other courses in the game, Vanilla Lake 1 has a reverse variant, a trick variant, and a reverse and trick variant, referred to as '''Vanilla Lake 1R''', '''Vanilla Lake 1T''', and '''Vanilla Lake 1R/T''' respectively. The former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the Ice Tour, while the latter was introduced in the [[Trick Tour (2020)|2020 Trick Tour]].

-Due to the Vanilla Lake setting returning in this game for the first time (besides its ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' reappearance), this course, along with [[SNES Donut Plains 1]] and [[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2]], is one of the few ''Super Mario Kart'' courses to retain their original music, rather than reusing a cover from a later ''Mario Kart'' game.
+The course also appears as '''Vanilla Lake 1R''' (reversed), '''Vanilla Lake 1T''' (with ramps), and '''Vanilla Lake 1R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the Ice Tour, while the latter was introduced in the [[Trick Tour (2020)|2020 Trick Tour]]. In the T variant, the length of the course is significantly extended via a giant slanted U-turn which is similar to that of [[GBA Mario Circuit]] in ''Mario Kart 8'', but entirely composed of [[Kanaami Road]].
-Excluding the R/T variant, Vanilla Lake 1 currently has the second longest gap between reappearances in tours, with the N, R, and T variants being absent from the [[New Year's 2022 Tour]] up until the [[Sundae Tour (2022)|2022 Sundae Tour]] sixteen tours later, only behind [[GBA Bowser's Castle 1]]'s N, R, and T variants from the [[1st Anniversary Tour]] until the [[Wedding Tour]] seventeen tours later.
