"Mario Circuit"

"Mario Circuit" in Super Mario Kart
Composed by:
Soyo Oka
First appearance Super Mario Kart (1992)
Latest appearance Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2022)

"Mario Circuit"[1] is the theme from Super Mario Kart composed by Soyo Oka and used in Mario Circuit 1, Mario Circuit 2, Mario Circuit 3, and Mario Circuit 4. It has been reused and rearranged as those courses have returned throughout the Mario Kart series.

Reuses[edit]

The following list does not include ports and remakes of Super Mario Kart.

Game Description Music
Mario Kart Wii "Mario Circuit" plays on SNES Mario Circuit 3.
Super Mario Maker 2 The "Super Mario Kart" sound effect plays "Mario Circuit".

Arrangements[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Mario Circuit 1, Mario Circuit 2, Mario Circuit 3, and Mario Circuit 4 all return as retro courses in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, along with a new arrangement of the "Mario Circuit" theme. This arrangement is similar to the original, but it adds some chiptune instrumentation and uses lower-quality synthetic instruments.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

SNES Mario Circuit 2 returns as a retro course in Mario Kart 7 along with an arrangement of the "Mario Circuit" theme. This arrangement uses higher quality samples, but it is otherwise almost identical to the original.

This arrangement returns for SNES Mario Circuit 1, SNES Mario Circuit 2, SNES Mario Circuit 3, and RMX Mario Circuit 1 in Mario Kart Tour.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

SNES Mario Circuit 3 was added as a retro course to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in Wave 2 of the Booster Course Pass along with an arrangement of "Mario Circuit". This arrangement adds piano accompaniment and drum kit percussion to the theme, but it is otherwise almost identical to the original.
