Luigi's Mansion is another [[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]-inspired track that takes place in an eery house and backyard filled with ghosts. This is also one of the few tracks where races take place at night. Most turns on this track are relatively easy for the novice to master, and is a good track to practice on for the intermediate snaker.

In the swampy section near the end of the circuit there are 2 walking trees that try to get in your way. If you hit one of these you will stop dead and lose a fair bit of time.
Shortcuts
It is possible to cut across the grass and in between the gravestones on the corners before the swamp section, if you have a mushroom or star.
