Template:Newsubject Template:Racecourse Twisted Mansion is third race track in the Flower Cup of Mario Kart 8. This course takes place in and around a haunted mansion (strongly resembling Luigi's Mansion), and it features many Boos.
Course Layout
At the starting line, the player starts in the courtyard, where a large statue of Boohemoth from New Super Mario Bros. 2 can be seen As the race starts, the door will slowly open. Once the player drives inside, they drive into an anti-gravity section which leads through the dining room. At the dining room, the track splits and the player can drive on either wall. The player then goes to an underwater section through an arch shaped like Bouldergeist's head. The underwater section doubles with anti-gravity, eventually spiliting into two paths. Here, Fishbones can be seen, but they are for decoration and cannot be interacted with. The upper route leads to a higher boost pad than the lower. It then leads to a gliding section across a courtyard similar to the one in Luigi's Mansion. If the player takes the upper route they can land on a balcony and take a shorter route, whereas the lower one must climb a flight of stairs. They then exit the house, which leaves the final stretch to the finish line. Here, some axe-wielding knight statues attack.
Shortcuts
After the first split path anti-gravity section, there is a dirt section that the player can boost through with a Mushroom, Golden Mushroom, Star, and to a lesser extent, Coins.

Trivia
- A statue of Boohemoth from New Super Mario Bros. 2 is present at the front of the mansion.
- During the countdown, before the the race, the doors at the entrance of the mansion open up for arrival of racers. This is one of three two courses (the others being Bowser's Castle and Mount Wario) to have an opening animation during countdown.
- This is one of the three courses (along with Mario Circuit and Toad Harbor) that were playable at E3 2013. Coincidentally, all three take place in the Flower Cup, in the same order as the original demo.
- The music played on this track is remixed from the Bowser's Castle theme from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, which was also used for the Luigi's Mansion track in Battle Mode.
- The design for the arch that leads into the underwater section is based on Super Mario Galaxy's Bouldergeist.
