It is the longest of the three raceways and is [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s home track of the game. The race takes place around a giant lake, and it is easy to fall into the water. There is a big jump over the lake in one section of the track. If the racer goes off the track after the jump, they can see Peach's Castle, which is where the Award Ceremony takes place at the end of each cup. It reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]], as well as in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Peach Tour]]. | ||

The course begins near a grand stand full of cheering audience, and it takes place on a simple asphalt road with grass on both sides. There is first a straightaway followed by a slight left turn and the first set of [[Item Box]]es. After a brief straight there is a U-turn to the left and then a U-turn to the right. Racers then drive along three more brief straights, with slight right turns in between. A slight left turn follows with another item set afterwards, and then there is a straightaway with a right U-turn at the end. Racers then reach another, far longer straightaway that crosses over the beginning of the track. | The course begins near a grand stand full of cheering audience, and it takes place on a simple asphalt road with grass on both sides under a pink sky.

Along the straightaway, racers drive slightly uphill and guard rails appear along both sides of the track. Two large [[Dash Panel|Dash Zones]] appear on this straightaway; one is in the middle while one is at the very end. The one at the end curves upwards, acting as a ramp for racers to go off. As racers go off the ramp they cross a large body of water. Where racers land there is another item set followed by a left turn; on the right side of the track next to the left turn, racers can follow a path up to a version of Peach's Castle nearly identical to the version found in ''Super Mario 64''. This castle is also where the awards ceremony | Along the straightaway, racers drive slightly uphill and guard rails appear along both sides of the track.

Afterwards, racers take a slight right turn followed by a left turn, a sharp right turn, and a brief straight with the last item set. A left turn and another brief straight then brings racers to the finish line. | ||
While no obstacles appear on the track itself, trees and stationary [[Piranha Plant]]s appear along the sides of the track. The course also has no specific notable shortcuts, but racers can use [[Dash Mushroom|Mushrooms]] or a [[Super Star|Star]] to drive through the large amount of off-road along the course and cut off turns. | While no obstacles appear on the track itself, trees and stationary [[Piranha Plant]]s appear along the sides of the track.

Royal Raceway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]], making it the only course out of the four returning N64 courses in the base game that is not the last course of its respective retro cup. The sky is now blue with pink clouds, instead of pink with white clouds, both the starting banner and the bleachers have been redesigned to look more related to Peach's Castle and the iconic crown is now more detailed. The wall, which the racers drive around, retains its red and white checker pattern but its design has been updated to have some elements of Peach's Castle, and subtle heart details have been added. The road markings are also made up of hearts. There are now swan boats in the lake, with [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s riding in them. Other Toad spectators are seen in the stands. At the starting line, the ''Mario Kart'' logo is now transparent. | Royal Raceway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]], making it the only course out of the four returning N64 courses in the base game that is not the last course of its respective retro cup.
