- This article is about the race course in Super Mario Kart. For the first Mario Circuit remix course in Mario Kart Tour, see RMX Mario Circuit 1.
Mario Circuit 1 is the first course of the Mushroom Cup in Super Mario Kart and as such, the first course in the Mario Kart series in general. It was later reused as the first Extra Course in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and the first Retro Course in Mario Kart DS, being the first Retro Course in the series. It later reappears as a recurring course in Mario Kart Tour, first appearing in the New York Tour.
The only hazard in this level is the Warp Pipes that appear near the second turn of the course. After the player passes the pipes, they find the only set of item boxes in the course. There is also a shortcut a racer can take by driving through the dirt right after passing the item boxes. The player needs either a Mushroom or a Star to successfully implement the shortcut without slowing down. However, taking the shortcut without an item does not take more time than following the course.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]
The course reappears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and is the first track in the Extra Mushroom Cup. It uses the background from Peach Circuit. The pipe hazards were removed from the track, but an item box can be found in the shortcut.
Mario Kart DS[edit]
The course in
Mario Kart DSMario Circuit 1 is the first course in the Shell Cup in Mario Kart DS, as well as the first retro course in the series overall. However, the course is slightly longer this time. Mission 1-8 (Perform 4 power-slide turbo boosts in 1 lap!) in this game takes place here. This course was available in Wi-Fi.

The course as it appears in
Mario Kart TourMario Circuit 1 makes a return in Mario Kart Tour, retaining its Mario Kart DS layout. The two pipes on the right after the third turn were moved onto the right side of the track. The mountains and trees in the background are now in 3D. It is one of the few retro courses that did not appear in Mario Kart 7. This course is favored by Mario, Toad (Pit Crew), Mario (Hakama), Mario (Classic), and Nabbit.
Unlike most of the SNES courses, Mario Circuit 1 reuses Mario Kart 7's arrangement for Mario Circuit 2, instead of the original music from Super Mario Kart.
New York Tour[edit]
In the New York Tour, Mario Circuit 1 appears as the third course in the Mario Cup, the second course in the Dry Bones Cup, the location of the challenge in the Donkey Kong Cup, and the location of the challenge in the Baby Mario Cup. It also has a Reverse variant which shows up as the first course in the Peach Cup, and a Trick variant which shows up as the first course in the Baby Mario Cup.

Profiles[edit]
Mario Kart DS[edit]
- Instruction booklet and US website: "Pulled straight from the SNES version of Super Mario Kart, this narrow track is further complicated by the pipes that protrude from its surface."
- European website: "The one that started it all. The first track from the original Super Mario Kart has a simple layout but don’t let that fool you. Veteran racers know that pixel-perfect precision is needed to negotiate this track’s turns without hitting the pipes jutting from the ground."
