Mario Circuit



Mario Circuit is a race track in the Mario Kart series.

Appearances
In Super Mario Kart, four Mario Circuits appeared. For further information, see Mario Circuit 1, 2, 3 and 4.

In Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Circuit is a rather plain stage, containing only one shortcut, no obstacles, and few item boxes. It appears as the first track of the Flower Cup.

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Circuit is a basic course that contains enemies like Goombas and Piranha Plants. Peach's Castle  can be seen in the background of the track. This Mario Circuit was the second track in the Flower Cup.

In Mario Kart DS, the course has two fireball-shooting Piranha Plants (also called Venus Fire Traps in Super Mario Bros. 3) and many Goombas. It is the third race of the Star Cup. In Retro Mode, the Mario Circuit 1 from Super Mario Kart was also playable.

The Mario Circuit also appears as a playable stage in Itadaki Street DS, in the form of a monopoly board.

In Mario Kart Wii, an unnamed town was showed in the E3 2007 trailer. However, in-trailer footage showed that the circuit were named Mario Circuit. This Mario Circuit has Princess Peach's Castle and other buildings in the background. Toad Town from Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series may also have been an inspiration for this game.

Mario Circuit has also been revealed as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (looking like Figure-8 Circuit), where go-karts driven by Shy Guys will race along the level, crashing into the characters.
