Mario Circuit is the third track of the Star Cup in Mario Kart DS.
Layout[]
Racers start by a lake near where Princess Peach's Castle lies. Racers will then take a right turn, and race down a lane piled with Goombas who will try to block the racers and will make racers spin out if they come in contact. Note that there is not any fences around the lake, so racers can easily fall off. After taking a couple more turns, racers will run into two Venus Fire Traps on a S bend turn. After, racers will go through a a bridge modeled after a green Warp Pipe, take a tight turn and then enter the dirt road after taking another tight turn. Then, racers will encounter Piranha Plants on a curly turn. The racers will also be able to see Princess Peach's Castle, unfortunately, racers cannot drive in the castle. After exiting the dirt road, racers will take one final S turn, and finish a lap, or the race.
