'''Sunshine Airport''' is the first course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and is the first airport course in the ''Mario Kart'' series. It takes place in an airport on [[Isle Delfino]].<ref name="Magazine"/>{{dead link}} Airplanes can be seen parked and taking off. Sunshine Airport is themed and named after ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. [[Shine Sprite]]s are visible throughout the course. The course physics are altered in 200cc, with the ramps with [[Dash Panel]]s propelling racers at a shorter distance. The aircraft standing around the airfield are based on a variety of different aircraft, ranging from the {{wp|Boeing 737}} to {{wp|Boeing 747|747}}, to {{wp|Boeing 777|777}} or even {{wp|Boeing 787 Dreamliner|787}} jets, alongside {{wp|Airbus A320 family|Airbus A320}}, {{wp|Airbus A330|A330}} and other aircraft.

The course begins in the terminal. After a hairpin turn, players will exit the terminal by taking a jump onto the apron. After this, there is a small jump over a [[conveyor belt]], after which the track proceeds under a plane. Once passing under it, a ramp leads to a raised track which then turns left. The track then splits into two alternate paths; one where a jump can be taken onto the wing of another plane, proceed through it and come out on the other wing, or one where the jump is not taken, leading the player to drive under the plane. Shortly after, players will take a left turn, and then hit some [[Dash Panel]]s leading to a [[Glide Ramp]], where a plane flies over the lead racer. This plane changes every lap. The gilding section travels up into an anti-gravity platform suspended in the air, which loops around a three-quarter turn. Several [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s are present here. Afterwards, racers hit a Glide Ramp and enter another gliding section. Players descend, land on a helicopter pad outside the terminal, then turn left and re-enter the terminal. There is one last right turn to the finish line.
The course begins in the terminal. After a hairpin turn, players will exit the terminal by taking a jump onto the Tarmac. After this, there is a small jump over a conveyor belt, after which the track proceeds under the Boeing 747. Once passing under the 747, a ramp leads to a raised track which then turns left. The track then splits into two alternate paths; one where a jump can be taken onto the wing of a plane, proceed through it and come out on the other wing, or one where the jump is not taken so the player drives under the plane. Shortly after, players will take a left turn, and then hit some boost panels leading to a gliding section, where a plane flies over the lead racer. This plane changes every lap. The gilding section travels up into an anti-gravity platform suspended in the air, which loops around a three quarter turn, into to another gliding section. Players descend, land on a helicopter pad outside the terminal, then turn left and re-enter the terminal. There is one last right turn to the finish line.


At the finish, a departure board can be seen on the right, including names of various other tracks. Posters of [[Water Park]], [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]] and [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]] can also be seen.
At the finish, a departure board can be seen on the right, including names of other tracks, being among others [[Dry Dry Desert (GCN)|Dry Dry Desert]] and [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]]. On the screens around the inside of the airport, a list of departures to other courses, such as [[Shy Guy Falls]] and [[Thwomp Ruins]], can be seen. Posters of [[Water Park]] can also be seen.


When under a flying plane, sounds in the game become muffled.

==Shortcuts==
===Shortcuts===
*Under the second plane, there is a large patch of grass to the right that serves as an offroad shortcut.
*One can cut off the left turn before the first gliding section if one uses a speed boosting item in the correct place.
*The player can cut off the left turn before the first gliding section by using a speed item and jumping off a small ramp situated in the water.
*The left turn into the terminal can be cut off if one boosts through the grass.
*The left turn into the terminal can be cut off if the player boosts through the grass.
*One can drive through an area with conveyors carrying luggage cutting off the final turn. The crates may contain [[Mushroom]]s.
*The player can drive through an area with conveyor belts carrying luggage crates, cutting off the final turn. The crates may contain [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Green Shell]]s, or [[Banana]]s.
 
===Staff ghost===
The staff ghost for this track is [[Rosalina]] on the [[Circuit Special]], and the time is 2:24.429. The ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' 200cc staff ghost is [[Luigi]] with a time of 1:45.437.
 
==References to the ''Mario'' series==
*At one point a couple of the Koopa rock formations from [[Koopa Troopa Beach]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' can be seen in the background.
*There are some storage crates in Sunshine Airport with the serial number "55402MS". This serial number is a possible reference to the European release date for ''Super Mario Sunshine'' (October 4th, 2002; MS, possibly standing for "Mario Sunshine.")<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU7tXqYplA8]</ref>
*There is an intercom in the airport which makes references to [[Birdo]], [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]], and [[Dolphin Shoals]]. The following lines, alluding to the said elements, can be heard within the station:
** "This is the final boarding call for Boomerang Bros. International Airline, Flight 117a to [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]], departing from Gate 3."
***This is inconsistent with the board before the finish line, which says flight "Sweet Sweet Canyon BBIA 4300."
** "Passengers departing on Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2580, bound for [[Dolphin Shoals]], should proceed to customs and immigration at this time."
** "Paging Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2218, passenger Ms. [[Birdo]], please proceed to the information counter on Floor 2."
*Some of the crates on the conveyor belts have panels which resemble [[? Block]]s, [[Empty Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s.

===''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'' liner notes===
''"This was the first track on Mario Kart 8 I was responsible for, and I had a great time working on it. The combination of the gorgeous graphics and the sheer silliness of racing around an airport made it really exciting. I was aiming to create music with a fresh, airy feel, to give you a taste of southern seas and tropical sky."''
