'''Mario Circuit'''  is the name of various race courses attributed to [[Mario]] as his own in the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' Series. Indeed, these courses bear some features ligated to the plumber, as his red [[Mario's Cap|Cap]], the [[Mushroom]]s he uses; [[Princess Peach's Castle]], where the hero sets out his adventures in many games; [[Warp Pipe]]s, and sometimes, enemies like [[Goomba]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s, Mario's common enemies, with no mentioning the banners that say his famous name. Apart from ''Mario Kart'', the Mario Circuit has presented in other series such as ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'', where it can be considered a stage held for other various purposes.

==''Mario Kart'' series==

===''Super Mario Kart''===

In ''Super Mario Kart'', four Mario Circuit race tracks appear, looking similar to a typical standard raceocurse, also having some obstacles as [[Warp Pipes]], which these normally are located on the road, blocking the path of the vehicles; and the [[Oil Slick]]s that cause vehicles to spin out of control while running over one.  

Each Mario Circuit appears numbered by the time that appears: Two Mario Circuits in the [[Mushroom Cup]], another in the [[Flower Cup]], and one more in the [[Star Cup]]. The first course of the Mushroom Cup, [[Mario Circuit 1]] is the most basic track and the most simple in game, by having open corners and few obstacles. In contrast to that circuit is the [[Mario Circuit 2]], the fifth and last course of the cup. This stage is notable by showing a great jump before the finish line, where the racers cross the zone, getting a speed boost over [[Boost Pad]]s and jump over speed bumps to reach the other side and so, pass the line. The third circuit, [[Mario Circuit 3]] is the last track of the Flower Cup. This course contains dangerous curves, as a U-turn just located in the middle of the track, being a zone when a racer attempts to turn around and stucks into the wall, or getting into dirt, slowing down so the kart. Finally it is the [[Mario Circuit 4]] the longest of ''Super Mario Kart''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Mario Circuits, having more sharp bends and obstacles scattered through the track.

 

The Mario Circuit courses, along with the other tracks from ''Super Mario Kart'', reappear for the [[Game Boy Advance]] installment ''[[Mario Kart Super Circuit]]'', as hidden classic racecourses. However, in the recent ''Mario Kart'' games, only two of these stages appear in. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' features the Mario Circuit 1; the first course of the [[Shell Cup]] from [[Retro Grand Prix]], better known as SNES Mario Circuit 1. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Mario Circuit 3 appears in the [[Lightning Cup]], bearing an enhanced graphical look as its portable counterpart.

Known as '''Mario Raceway''' in game, this circuit is found in the [[Flower Cup]], being the fourth and last race course to compete in. The course features Mario's red cap on the top of the course's terrace, next to the starting line. The road is made by concrete, such as [[Luigi Raceway]] and [[Royal Raceway]]. Though the course is fairly secure, by having no [[pit]]s hazards, it's filled in rough grass, and running over them, any kart will slow down. However, using a speed boster as a [[Mushroom]] or a [[Star]], drivers can make shortcuts through the grass and dust. [[Piranha Plant]]s are an obstacle found over the grass, and by touching one, the vehicle will spin around. Many Piranha Plants are chiefly located near to the corners.

 

Upon getting the first turn, The racers will go near to a hill to take a semi-circular turn surrounding a big toadstool. A long stretch of the road will come next, leading the racers to a curly turn and pass through a [[Warp Pipe]]. Once run by the pipe, the characters end crossing the finish line.

 

Mario Raceway makes its reappeareance in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as a classic racecoure of the [[Shell Cup]]. An element added to the track is a ramp to perform [[trick]]s in the middle of the rough grass past the toadstool.

This Mario Circuit is the second track in the [[Flower Cup]]. Beta versions of [[Mario Kart DS]] shows it was going to be in it. Hacking allows it to be raced on, but without obstacles.
