Mario Circuit is a recurring name first given to four tracks in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In the original Japanese versions, it goes on to be used for one track in every mainline game. It is one of four track names that are reused in more than two courses and consistently appear in many ''Mario Kart'' games, alongside [[Luigi Circuit]], [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series|Bowser's Castle]], and [[Rainbow Road]].
The name Mario Circuit is first given to four tracks in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In the original Japanese versions, it goes on to be used for one track in every mainline game. It is one of three track names with this property, alongside [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series]] and [[Rainbow Road]]. However, the English version of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' names its version of the track '''Mario Raceway''' instead, which ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' maintains.


In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', all circuit courses are known as raceways. Thus, instead of using Mario Circuit, ''Mario Kart 64'' uses Mario Raceway instead.

Mario Circuit appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' which is heavily based on the version in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and is used for the [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|individual]] and [[Dream Ski Cross (Team)|team]] versions Dream Ski Cross with the road now being covered entirely with snow and more ramps being carved out of the snow on the track itself. While the general layout of the first half of the course is identical to it is in the aforementioned game albeit with a much steeper descent, the second half of the track is entirely different, where they are linked by two [[Warp Pipe]]s which split the track into two, the path on the left has a more wavy shape while the path on the right is filled with [[Coin]]s but a [[Goomba]] and [[Piranha Plant]] serve as obstacles. Once the paths join back up together there a few tight downhill turns and Piranha Plants until the racers reach a [[DK Cannon]] taking them back to the starting line for a second lap.
