'''Mario Circuit''' is the name given to various race courses in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. These courses generally contain features associated with [[Mario]], such as his [[Mario Cap|red cap]], [[Mushroom]]s, [[Peach's Castle]], [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, and [[Piranha Plant]]s. Various banners bearing his name can also be seen along some of these tracks. Mario Circuit is usually featured in the [[Flower Cup]]. Outside ''Mario Kart'', Mario Circuit also has iterations in other games such as ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===

Mario Circuit is a recurring name first given to four tracks in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In the original Japanese versions, it goes on to be used for one track in every mainline game. It is one of four track names that are reused in more than two courses and consistently appear in many ''Mario Kart'' games, alongside [[Luigi Circuit]], [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series|Bowser's Castle]], and [[Rainbow Road]].

In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', all circuit courses are known as raceways. Thus, instead of using Mario Circuit, ''Mario Kart 64'' uses Mario Raceway instead.
