SNES Mario Circuit 2

Mario Circuit 2 first appears in Super Mario Kart, and reappears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

Appearance in Super Mario Kart
Mario Circuit 2 is the fifth and final course of the Mushroom Cup. It is a typical Mario Circuit course, featuring Pipes, many curves and also Oil Slicks, which have a similar effect on players like bananas, with the difference that they do not make them lose any coins. In addition, there is also a large jump that the player must complete, which overlaps another part of the track. When playing in Grand Prix mode, sometimes a computer driver does not manage to carry out the full jump (mainly last place), preventing them from completing a lap. This can also happen to a player when trying to do the jump too slowly. Since the CPU does not Super Jump near the jump, it becomes a great trap laying area.

Appearance in Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Mario Circuit 2 is the first track in the Extra Flower Cup. It uses the background from Mario Circuit. An extra Item Box is placed at the left of the track before the jump. The pipe and oil slick hazards have been removed from the original version.

Appearance in Mario Kart 7
SNES Mario Circuit 2 appears in Mario Kart 7 as the second race course in the Banana Cup. In this version of the track, several Warp Pipes are placed in the final corner before the finish line. The large jump is completed by using a glider panel. The straight between turns 9 and 10 are lengthened, in order to prevent riders from cutting the track by using the gliders in a similar way that racers could exploit the jump in previous Mario Kart games. The straight between turns 3 and 4 is also made longer. It is also the shortest track in the game and has 3 laps instead of 5. There's a trampoline that is based on the bumps from Super Mario Kart by the last curve to bounce the paragliding racers to cut through the corner.
