The '''Mushroom Cup''' (transliterated as '''Kinoko Cup''' on one occasion<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51, page 26.</ref>) is a [[cup]] that commonly appears as the first and easiest cup in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], similarly to the [[Shell Cup]] since ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', except the Mushroom Cup has only [[new course]]s. It is represented by a [[Dash Mushroom]]. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the Mushroom Cup is one of four cups to be themed around a Mushroom, alongside the [[Golden Dash Cup]], the [[Propeller Cup]], and the [[Rock Cup]].

When the player places in the top three, the [[Flower Cup]] and [[Konga Coliseum]] are unlocked. A similar cup is the [[Super Mushroom Cup]]. In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', the Mushroom Cup is the first cup to be played in the tournament.

The Mushroom Cup also makes an appearance in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' as the first cup of the World Open. It is played on the [[Mushroom Valley]] court, and the CPU difficulty is the easiest in the World Open. The cup is the only one to be unlocked from the start, and its matches have one set each for the starting round and semifinals, and three sets for the finals.

The Mushroom Cup reappears as the first cup in the COM Tournament mode of ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', and it uses the lowest CPU difficulty of all three cups.

==Profiles==
[[File:MKW Mushroom Cup Trading Card.jpg|thumb|100px]]
*'''''Mario Kart 64'' website:''' "''The Mushroom Cup is made up of four introductory courses.''"
*'''''Mario Kart Wii'' trading card:''' "''Long-time Mario Kart fans may experience déjà vu when checking out the first two tracks of the Mushroom Cup. Luigi Circuit looks a lot like Luigi's tracks from other Mario Kart games and Moo Moo Meadows harkens back to Moo Moo Farm. But rest assured, the layouts are new.''"

==Trivia==
*The Mushroom Cup has never had a snow or ice-themed course.
*The Mushroom Cup from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' is one of three cups in the series to have all its courses return together in another ''Mario Kart'' game, as all of its tracks reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. The other two cups are the [[Lightning Cup]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', which also has all of its courses return in ''Tour'', and the [[Star Cup]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', which has all of its courses available in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as a result of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. Unlike the aforementioned examples, every Mushroom Cup course from ''Mario Kart 7'' were present in ''Mario Kart Tour'' at its [[New York Tour|launch]].
*In ''Mario Kart 7'', the Mushroom Cup is the only nitro cup to not have a course split into three sections instead of laps: the [[Flower Cup]] has [[Wuhu Loop]], the [[Star Cup]] has [[Maka Wuhu]], and the [[Special Cup]] has [[3DS Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]].
*In [[Mario Kart 8]], the Mushroom Cup is basically the practice courses but with [[Thwomp Ruins]] at the end.
**This is so that it would have 4 race tracks like every other cup instead of 3.
