3DS Toad Circuit

Toad Circuit is the first race track in the Mushroom Cup of Mario Kart 7. It takes place at a basic circuit where giant balloons of various Toads are seen floating throughout it.

Course layout
The course is a simple circuit with few obstacles, as it is the first course in the game. There are a couple of long boost turns along the track and a couple of boost ramps which allow for the use of gliders, plus a bridge that the player can drive under or hangglide off a ramp and over the bridge and the ramp rises and closes from the ground up for usage after 40 seconds, as well as having a tunnel to drive through. Giant mushrooms are seen through out the track in different sizes and three large balloons of Toads (red, blue, and yellow) are floating along the track as well. Banners of Toad himself can be seen throughout the course with the accompanying "Mario Kart" logo. There is a big turn, then there is a ramp, where the player can use their glider. Then there is a tunnel, two more turns and then a big curve where lots of coins can be collected. The lap starts over after that.

Shortcuts
Near the big curve there is a ramp where the player needs a Mushroom to cross. Also, after the ramp there is a dirt area with pipes that the player can cross by using a Mushroom. The player can also cut the first turn using three Mushrooms.

Glitches
There is an Item Box glitch in this track. The player can do this easily with any glider and the glider ramp must be activated. When the player starts to glide they must move to the right where the Item Box rows are, and pick one up. When the player does this, they will be in last place or near it for some seconds and when they leave the bridge they will be in the top places with a last place item.

Trivia

 * This course can be heard when Donkey Kong is on his 3DS in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, due to the cheering audience.
 * The overhead map of the course is extremely similar to an unused course found in Mario Kart DS's files known as "dokan_course", although Toad Circuit is mirrored and much flatter by comparison and has no pipe tunnels where one is instead present in Mario Circuit.
