'''Mario Circuit''' is the first race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. It shares its music with [[GBA Peach Circuit|Peach Circuit]] and [[GBA Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]]. It reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second course of the [[Shell Cup]].

==''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''==
===Course layout===
The course begins with a left turn followed by a slight right turn and the first set of [[Item Box]]es. There is then two straightaways, with a U-turn to the left in between. Racers then take a right turn followed by a left turn and another item set; in between the two turns, there is a lone Item Box to the left of the track. After several slight turns, a left turn, and a slight right turn, racers reach the finish line. Near the finish line, racers have the option to take a narrow path to the right of the track, which contains a [[Dash Panel|speed strip]].

==''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second course of the [[Shell Cup]]. Much like {{classic-link|GBA|Bowser's Castle 1|Bowser Castle 1}} in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', this is the only GBA classic course in the base ''Mario Kart 8'' content. It now features a starting banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in red, black-and-white tires around the posts, various stacked tires and advertisements, and wooden huts both filled with [[Toad (species)|Toad]] and [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] spectators and oil cans. The large U-turn near the beginning of the track is slanted and separated from the track to act as an [[anti-gravity]] section. This section is balanced on what appear to be giant car jacks (which are named "Ultra Arm", a reference to the {{wp|Ultra Hand}}), which can be seen rising to lift the section into its position in the course's preview, with many large [[Brick Block]]s and [[Empty Block]]s visible in the pit where the U-turn was originally. There are also [[oil slick]]s near the end of the track that cause players who collide with them to spin out, alongside some [[traffic cone]]s that are knocked away when players collide with them. The detour near the finish line also contains an added [[Item Box]] in addition to the [[Dash Panel]]. Compared to the original, the road is also slightly banked through the curves.

The music has been modified to a slightly lower pitch and plays in A#/B♭ major on the first two laps and then in B major on the final lap, as opposed to C major in the original. Overall, the arrangement appears to be based on that of the ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' prototype.<ref>[https://youtu.be/XiqyXTgvYR0?t=682 E3 2001 Gamestore VHS Messevideo 1 of 2 Trade Show Video - YouTube]</ref>

This rendition of the course was shown in a [[GLA]] commercial cross-promoting the car and ''Mario Kart 8'', albeit with a more realistic approach, featuring the raised hairpin turn in the background.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67QxyKWc0Wc Super Mario Kart 8 - Mercedes-Benz Commercial #2 - Wii U]</ref>

===Shortcut(s)===
*To the right of the second line of Item Boxes, there is a [[Glide Ramp]] hidden by some trees that can be accessed by using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or [[Super Star]].

''"This circuit has been dramatically reworked, so we reflected that in the music by rearranging it and making generous use of a horn section."''

==Trivia==
*This is the only Mario Circuit to not feature any [[Warp Pipe]]s, although one is present among the graphics for the track in the game's files.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Mario_Kart:_Super_Circuit#Mario_Circuit_2</ref>
*The course was originally known as '''Big Tree Circuit''' and was in the [[Mushroom Cup]] in an early prototype of ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', and also had a different musical arrangement not present in the final build. The side route right before the finish line was also absent.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thIX59yve84</ref>
