Mario Circuit is the first track of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It later returned in both Mario Kart 8 and its Nintendo Switch port Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a Classic Course, being the second track of the Shell Cup. The course contains winding paths such as a hairpin bend or a curling path found before the home stretch.

In Mario Kart 8, the Staff Ghost kart setup is Baby Mario riding the Yoshi Bike with Standard tires and the Super Glider.

It is a fairly simple course, with grass lining the track and coins scattered around. It contains winding paths, however, such as a hairpin bend or a curling path found before the home stretch.

Towards the end, players may opt to swerve a little bit off-course and take a Boost Pad, allowing themselves the reward of several coins and a quick blast towards the finish.

Mario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[]

Mario Circuit returns in Mario Kart 8 as a Classic Course of the Shell Cup. The track is almost the same, if not for a graphical update and the track's hairpin lifted to a 45° angle using hydraulic lifts, therefore made into an anti-gravitational section.

It now features a starting banner with black-and-white tires around the posts, various stacked tires, and advertisements, and huts both filled with Toad and Yoshi spectators and oil cans. There are also Oil Slicks that the players must avoid, similar to the original Super Mario Kart Mario Circuit tracks.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first track titled "Mario Circuit" in the Mario Kart series, as Super Mario Kart had more than one course named Mario Circuit while Mario Kart 64 had Mario Raceway.
  • In the Mario Kart 8 version of the track preview, the U-turn is seen being lifted up into position by Ultra Hands (also known as Ultra Arms). On the ground where the U-turn originally was were many Brick Blocks and Used Blocks.
