'''Frappe Snowland''' (named '''Frappesuno Land''' on one occasion<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51, pages 28-29.</ref>) is a racetrack, first appearing as the second track of the [[Flower Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' on the [[Nintendo 64]], then returning as a course in the Retro Courses in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second track of the [[Banana Cup]], and in several tours in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It takes place in a softly snowing region of hills. Its obstacles include many [[Snowman|snowmen]] scattered around the edges of the course. There is also a giant snow statue of [[Mario]] and one of [[Yoshi]]. This course shares its music with [[N64 Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]]. The course was available in Wi-Fi.
'''Frappe Snowland''' (named '''Frappesuno Land''' on one occasion<ref>{{cite|date=December 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51|publisher=EMAP|page=28-29}}</ref>) is the second race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. The track takes place in a snowy area and features [[Snowman|Snowmen]] as obstacles.


==Course layout==
Frappe Snowland reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second course of the [[Banana Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Ice Tour]].
[[File:MKDS Frappe Snowland layout.png|thumb|left|The map of the course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'']]
Players start in a snowy road, which immediately makes a ninety degree turn to the right, and then a turn to the left, which then leads players to a row of [[Item Box]]es. Snowmen appear as obstacles in this point that slow players down if run into. Players then pass a Yoshi statue and then make a U-turn to the left, which leads players into a ramp. Failure to cross the ramp leads players into a river of water.


After the ramp, the road stretches and a large group of snowmen, plus a Mario statue reside there. This makes it a little bit tricky to navigate through without slowing down or getting hit by a snowman. After the large group of snowmen, players make a sharp left turn, then a right while avoiding two more snowmen. When players pass the snowmen, they proceed to a straight road, with cliff walls instead of snow to slow them down. If players try to drive up the cliff, they are returned to the track by [[Lakitu]].  
==''Mario Kart 64''==
===Course layout===
The course begins with a right turn followed by a left turn and the first set of [[Item Box]]es. Racers then take a slight right turn followed by a U-turn to the left; next to the slight right turn is a large [[Yoshi]] statue. Afterwards there is a right turn followed by a left turn and a brief straight. Along the straight is a jump over a river followed by another item set. There is then a left turn into a wide area with many snowmen and a large [[Mario]] statue. The track narrows after and racers take a left turn followed by a right turn and another left turn. The snow on both sides of the track then becomes elevated by tall cliffs as the track remains flat, cutting through the cliffs at a result; if racers try to drive up the cliffs, [[Lakitu]] brings them back to the track.  Here there is one last item set followed by a brief straight, another left U-turn, and a right turn. Racers then use a short wooden bridge to cross the river again and reach the finish line soon after.


In the cliff area, a bunch of item boxes can be found; they are the last ones before the finish line. Past the item boxes is a U-turn to the left, which leads into a curvier road. The curvier road then makes a right turn, and past the wooden bridge is the finish line where the track repeats itself.  
While most of the course's snowmen obstacles appear near the Mario statue, some can be found in other areas on or next to the track.
{{br|left}}


==Missions==
Frappe Snowland and [[N64 Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]] use the same music track, and both have blue minimaps to distinguish from the white scenery.
Only one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] takes place at N64 Frappe Snowland:


*'''Mission 5-2:''' [[Donkey Kong]] must collect 15 coins in reverse on the stretched road without touching a [[Snowman]].
===Glitches===
The player, as soon as they start the race, must turn back and go to the bridge. There, the player must turn facing the goal. The player must head to the snowy area from the bridge without touching the path that leads to the goal and move until Lakitu picks them up. If done well, Lakitu will position the player on the bridge and, when going to the finish line, it will count as one lap.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/9TAYqeegrqw|title=''Mario Kart 64'' - Frappe Snowland SC 3lap World Record - 19.55 (NTSC)|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|date=November 24, 2022|author=Beck Abney|accessdate=March 19, 2024}}</ref>
 
==''Mario Kart DS''==
Frappe Snowland makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second course of the [[Banana Cup]], and it remains mostly unchanged from its original variant, though most of the turns were slightly reshaped. It was playable over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].
 
The ghost data for this course in Time Trials is 2:08:781, and uses [[Wario]] in the [[Brute]].
===Missions===
There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Frappe Snowland:
*'''Mission 5-2''': [[Donkey Kong]] has 30 seconds to collect 15 [[coin]]s while driving around the Mario statue in reverse.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=01:00|url=youtu.be/WX6fCM2NLzM?feature=shared&t=60|title=''Mario Kart DS'' - Mission Mode Level 5 (3 Star Rank)|author=S.G. Issac05|date=January 13, 2025|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 21, 2025}}</ref> There are addition [[Snowman|snowmen]] to avoid.

[[File:MKT Frappe Snowland Scene.jpg|thumb|right|{{classic|N64|Frappe Snowland}} as it appears in ''Mario Kart Tour''.]]
Frappe Snowland reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Ice Tour]]. The Mario and Yoshi snowmen now look more lifelike and a glide ramp shortcut was added in behind the glaciers, and the starting banner has been changed to a wooden sign with a blue, three-dimensional ''Mario Kart'' logo. Another shortcut has also been added after the Yoshi snowmen, which features several log ramps. This course is a favorite of [[Pink Shy Guy]], [[Ice Bro]], [[Birdo (species)|Birdo (Blue)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Wintertime)]], [[Yoshi (species)|White Yoshi]], [[Nabbit]], [[Baby Rosalina|Baby Rosalina (Detective)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Halloween)]], and [[Bowser|Bowser (Santa)]]. It is also a favorite of [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Aurora)]] and [[Mario|Mario (Halloween)]] if they are at level 3, and [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Reindeer)]] and [[Luigi|Luigi (Golf)]] if they are at level 6.
Frappe Snowland reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Ice Tour]]. It is based on the ''Mario Kart DS'' course layout. The Mario and Yoshi snowmen now look more lifelike and a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] shortcut was added behind the glaciers, a wooden bridge is added after the jump before the snowman section, and the starting banner has been changed to a wooden sign with a blue, three-dimensional ''Mario Kart'' logo. Another shortcut has also been added after the Yoshi snowmen, which features several log ramps.


As with other courses in the game, Frappe Snowland has a reversed variant, a trick variant, and a reversed/trick variant referred to as '''Frappe Snowland R''', '''Frappe Snowland T''' and '''Frappe Snowland R/T''' respectively.
The course also appears as '''Frappe Snowland R''' (reversed), '''Frappe Snowland T''' (with ramps), and '''Frappe Snowland R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the original in the Ice Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Vancouver Tour]]. In the R variant, all snowmen appear in pairs side-by-side.

Frappe Snowland (named Frappesuno Land on one occasion[1]) is the second race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart 64. The track takes place in a snowy area and features Snowmen as obstacles.

Frappe Snowland reappears in Mario Kart DS as the second course of the Banana Cup, and in Mario Kart Tour starting with the Ice Tour.

Course layout

The course begins with a right turn followed by a left turn and the first set of Item Boxes. Racers then take a slight right turn followed by a U-turn to the left; next to the slight right turn is a large Yoshi statue. Afterwards there is a right turn followed by a left turn and a brief straight. Along the straight is a jump over a river followed by another item set. There is then a left turn into a wide area with many snowmen and a large Mario statue. The track narrows after and racers take a left turn followed by a right turn and another left turn. The snow on both sides of the track then becomes elevated by tall cliffs as the track remains flat, cutting through the cliffs at a result; if racers try to drive up the cliffs, Lakitu brings them back to the track. Here there is one last item set followed by a brief straight, another left U-turn, and a right turn. Racers then use a short wooden bridge to cross the river again and reach the finish line soon after.

While most of the course's snowmen obstacles appear near the Mario statue, some can be found in other areas on or next to the track.

Frappe Snowland and Sherbet Land use the same music track, and both have blue minimaps to distinguish from the white scenery.

Glitches

The player, as soon as they start the race, must turn back and go to the bridge. There, the player must turn facing the goal. The player must head to the snowy area from the bridge without touching the path that leads to the goal and move until Lakitu picks them up. If done well, Lakitu will position the player on the bridge and, when going to the finish line, it will count as one lap.[2]

Mario Kart DS

Frappe Snowland makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart DS as the second course of the Banana Cup, and it remains mostly unchanged from its original variant, though most of the turns were slightly reshaped. It was playable over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

The ghost data for this course in Time Trials is 2:08:781, and uses Wario in the Brute.

Missions

There is one mission that takes place on Frappe Snowland:

  • Mission 5-2: Donkey Kong has 30 seconds to collect 15 coins while driving around the Mario statue in reverse.[3] There are addition snowmen to avoid.

N64 Frappe Snowland as it appears in Mario Kart Tour.

Frappe Snowland reappears in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the Ice Tour. It is based on the Mario Kart DS course layout. The Mario and Yoshi snowmen now look more lifelike and a glide ramp shortcut was added behind the glaciers, a wooden bridge is added after the jump before the snowman section, and the starting banner has been changed to a wooden sign with a blue, three-dimensional Mario Kart logo. Another shortcut has also been added after the Yoshi snowmen, which features several log ramps.

The course also appears as Frappe Snowland R (reversed), Frappe Snowland T (with ramps), and Frappe Snowland R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the original in the Ice Tour, while the latter debuted in the Vancouver Tour. In the R variant, all snowmen appear in pairs side-by-side.

      A frigid course under constant snowfall. Naturally, the road is slippery. The snowmen you see might look cute, but run into one and you will crash. Don't get too close![page number needed]

      Look out for snowmen on the course in this icy track."[7]

    • English (British):
      You'd better make sure you've had your triple-shot mocha-choca frappe-latte before you start this race, as you'll need something to ward off the cold and and keep your senses sharp. Also, look out for the pesky snowman and Mario's ice sculpture (he's such a show-off).
