Mario Circuit



Mario Circuit is a race track which commonly appears in the Mario Kart series. The course ears the likeness of Mario. The Mario Circuit also has made a few appearances in other games.

Mario Kart Series
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. The four original Mario Circuits appear in this game as well in the extra cups.

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

In Mario Kart DS, the course feature two Venus Fire Traps and many Goombas. It is the third race of the Star Cup. In Retro Mode, the Mario Circuit 1 from Super Mario Kart is also playable.

In Mario Kart Wii, an unnamed town was showed in the E3 2007 trailer. However, in-trailer footage showed that the circuit is named Mario Circuit. This Mario Circuit has Princess Peach's Castle and other buildings in the background, this version of Mario Circuit may have been inspired by Toad Town from the Paper Mario series.

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

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Mario Circuit is also a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (looking like Figure-8 Circuit), with the stage taking place on the 8-Figure intersection. The stage is set up with two levels; the bottom level, which is a flat surface across the race course, and the upper level, which takes place on a few platforms of the race course. On occasion, go-karts driven by Shy Guys will race along that back or sides of the stage, crashing into the characters, damaging them greatly (just like in a massive Mario Kart DS download play mode). When they come in from the back, they will hit the bottom level, and when coming from the sides, they will hit the upper level. Players can keep track of where the Shy Guys are from the screen in the back of the stage. However, like in Mute City and Onett from Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Shy Guy's can be knocked aside with items, such as the Home-Run Bat. In the background of the stage, there is a big screen which shows the racers' positions on the track (by which fighters can guide themselves as to where to stay, if on the upper or the lower section).
