'''Wario Stadium''' is the first course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The track has its own introduction music in the single-player Grand Prix. The course contains numerous mud puddles, [[Dash Panel]]s, jumps, twists, [[Fire Chain]]s and [[Fire Bars|Bars]]. This version is more reminiscent of [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' than its N64 [[Wario Stadium|counterpart]] and shares the same music with [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]].


'''Wario Stadium''' is the first race course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The track has its own introduction music in the single-player Grand Prix, the remix version of three Cups introduction music. The course contains numerous mud puddles, speed boosts, jumps, twists, and fireballs. This version is more reminiscent of [[Waluigi Stadium (GCN)|Waluigi Stadium]] than its Nintendo 64 counterpart and shares the same music as [[Waluigi Pinball (DS)|Waluigi Pinball]]. It returns as the first course of the [[Leaf Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', making it the first Wario-themed retro course.
Wario Stadium reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first race of the [[Leaf Cup]], making it the first Wario-themed retro course.


==Course layout==
==''Mario Kart DS''==
The course starts with a 180 degree left turn, followed by a right turn and a left U-turn. The player then climbs up a ramp and uses a [[Dash Panel]] to jump over the end of the course (A mesh platform prevents racers from falling down.). The player turns left into a mud pit that slows racers down. Dash Panels on island like roadway can help racers pass the area faster, as well as Mushrooms. Then racers climb up ramps with spinning [[Fireball]]s that act like a ring of fire. The path narrows and passes a mud pit with spinning fireballs being obstacles to the track. Next, racers climb a giant ramp before passing several small humps. Racers take one more U-turn before jumping off another ramp to the finish line.{{br|left}}

With skillful use of lightweight characters combined with high-handling karts, the ramps with Dash Panels can be used carefully to avoid a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] by [[Mini-Turbo|boosting]] with precise timing when jumping over them.
Mission 7-5 takes place on Wario Stadium. The mission involves the player having to collect twenty coins in fifty-five seconds.

===Missions===
There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Wario Stadium:
*'''Mission 7-5''': The player controls [[Wario]], who must collect 20 [[coin]]s within 55 seconds. During this mission, there are two additional [[Fire Chain|fire chains]] for the player to avoid.

Wario Stadium makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. While the layout is mostly the same, some changes have been made in the Fire Bars section. Rather than driving through a mud path, racers now drive on a raised platform that acts as an anti-gravity section (similar to [[Mario Kart Stadium]] and {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}). Soon after, racers encounter a new [[Underwater driving|underwater section]] instead of continuing on the dirt path from the previous version, which then leads to a [[Glide Ramp]] instead of a [[Dash Panel]]. This part of the track, compared to the original section, has been modified to just a simple U-turn. Other major changes include the addition of a statue of Wario and the time of day, which has been changed from night to day. All the Dash Panels on the ramps are also smaller compared to their original appearance, but are more powerful, and racers can perform tricks when driving over one. In addition, the crowd can be heard cheering if the player performs a trick in both the Fire Chain jump and at the end of the anti-gravity section. Like its first appearance, it shares its music with {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, making these courses the only courses to share the same music in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.

|direction=vertical
The starting banner (which now has the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo) can be interacted with by playable characters gliding out of the underwater section, causing it to swing. The course is one of five with this feature; the other four courses are [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic-link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}} and {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}.

Turn 5 leads left to the first jump section. Though they have same hills in ''DS'' and ''8'', the ''DS'' section is diagonally aligned.
Wario Stadium returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. This course is the first [[Wario]] course to appear as a Retro Course. While the layout is mostly the same, some changes have been made in the spinning fireballs section. Rather than driving through a mud path, racers now drive on a raised platform that acts as an anti-gravity section (similar to [[Mario Kart Stadium]] and [[Mario Circuit (GBA)|<small>GBA</small> Mario Circuit]]). Soon after, racers encounter a new underwater section instead of continuing on the dirt path from the previous version, which then leads to a glider ramp, instead of a [[Dash Panel]]. This part of the track, compared to the original section, has been modified to just a simple U-turn. The other major changes include the addition of a statue of Wario and the time of day, which has been changed from night to the day. All the Dash Panels on the ramps are also smaller compared to their original appearance, but are more powerful and racers can perform tricks when driving over one. In addition, the crowd can be heard cheering if the player performs a trick in the end of the anti-gravity section.
 
In the ''DS'' layout, the hills are followed by turn 6 slightly right, turns 7-9 with mud traps, turn 10 leading into the second jump section, and turn 11 leading right into a bumpy section.


The starting banner can be interacted with from playable characters, due to the hang-glider ramp leaving the underwater segment, that replaces the final boosted ramp from the original. The course is one of three with this feature; the other two courses are [[Mario Circuit (Wii U)|Mario Circuit]] and [[Neo Bowser City|<small>3DS</small> Neo Bowser City]].
The ''8'' layout skips turns 6 through 11, instead banking into an inside-leaning vertical hover section for its turn 6, leading into the sharp turns 7 and 8, followed by a turn 9 left turn into a jump section.

The final sharp turn, which is turn 12 in ''DS'' and turn 10 in ''8'', lead back onto the main stretch.

==Trivia==
{{MK race courses}}
*This course's unique introduction music in its original appearance is likely a reference to the {{wp|Organ (music)|baseball organ}}, based on its sounds and due to the fact that the course is a stadium.
*In the original version, one can perform a [[Jump|high jump]] by hopping at the right time when jumping over the Dash Panels.
**In the first ramp section, there is a chance that the racer may fail by accidentally touching the spinning fireballs while performing the jump, causing him/her to fall before being able to jump high, thus slowing down. This is likely to happen more frequently with large karts and/or heavy characters.
*With skillful use of lightweight characters combined with high-handling karts, the aforementioned ramps can be used carefully to avoid a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] by [[Mini-Turbo|boosting]] at precise timing when jumping over them.

Wario Stadium is the first course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart DS. The track has its own introduction music in the single-player Grand Prix. The course contains numerous mud puddles, Dash Panels, jumps, twists, Fire Chains and Bars. This version is more reminiscent of Waluigi Stadium from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! than its N64 counterpart and shares the same music with Waluigi Pinball.

Wario Stadium reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the first race of the Leaf Cup, making it the first Wario-themed retro course.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

Course layout[edit]

The course starts with a 180 degree left turn, followed by a right turn and a left U-turn. The player then climbs up a ramp and uses a Dash Panel to jump over the end of the course (a mesh platform prevents racers from falling down). The player turns left into a mud pit that slows racers down. Dash Panels on islands in the mud serve as a path to navigate the mud. Then, racers climb up a pair of ramps with spinning Fire Chains. The path narrows and passes a mud pit with Fire Bars. Next, racers climb a giant ramp before passing several small humps. Racers take one more U-turn before jumping off another ramp to the finish line.

With skillful use of lightweight characters combined with high-handling karts, the ramps with Dash Panels can be used carefully to avoid a Spiny Shell by boosting with precise timing when jumping over them.

This course's unique introduction music may be a reference to the baseball organ, based on its sounds and due to the fact that the course is a stadium.

Missions[edit]

There is one mission that takes place on Wario Stadium:

  • Mission 7-5: The player controls Wario, who must collect 20 coins within 55 seconds. During this mission, there are two additional fire chains for the player to avoid.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Wario Stadium makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the first course of the Leaf Cup. While the layout is mostly the same, some changes have been made in the Fire Bars section. Rather than driving through a mud path, racers now drive on a raised platform that acts as an anti-gravity section (similar to Mario Kart Stadium and GBA Mario Circuit). Soon after, racers encounter a new underwater section instead of continuing on the dirt path from the previous version, which then leads to a Glide Ramp instead of a Dash Panel. This part of the track, compared to the original section, has been modified to just a simple U-turn. Other major changes include the addition of a statue of Wario and the time of day, which has been changed from night to day. All the Dash Panels on the ramps are also smaller compared to their original appearance, but are more powerful, and racers can perform tricks when driving over one. In addition, the crowd can be heard cheering if the player performs a trick in both the Fire Chain jump and at the end of the anti-gravity section. Like its first appearance, it shares its music with DS Waluigi Pinball, making these courses the only courses to share the same music in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

The starting banner (which now has the modern Mario Kart logo) can be interacted with by playable characters gliding out of the underwater section, causing it to swing. The course is one of five with this feature; the other four courses are Mario Circuit, 3DS Neo Bowser City, Tour Tokyo Blur and 3DS Rock Rock Mountain.

Track layout comparisons[edit]

The inner loop is the same in Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 8. Turn 4 after the bridge is sharper in 8, leading into the boost mold section.

Turn 5 leads left to the first jump section. Though they have same hills in DS and 8, the DS section is diagonally aligned.

In the DS layout, the hills are followed by turn 6 slightly right, turns 7-9 with mud traps, turn 10 leading into the second jump section, and turn 11 leading right into a bumpy section.

The 8 layout skips turns 6 through 11, instead banking into an inside-leaning vertical hover section for its turn 6, leading into the sharp turns 7 and 8, followed by a turn 9 left turn into a jump section.

The final sharp turn, which is turn 12 in DS and turn 10 in 8, lead back onto the main stretch.

Profiles[edit]

Mario Kart DS[edit]

  • North American website bio: "Hit the dirt in Wario Stadium, where huge jumps and bone-rattling bumps make for an action-packed race."
  • European website bio: "Wario's tricky track is just as tricky and dirty as the man himself. It's a bump-ridden speedway-style course packed with pitfalls like mud to slow you down and spinning wheels of fire to burn unwary drivers. How this passed the safety inspection we'll never know..."

Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack liner notes[edit]

"For this track, we've tried to represent Wario's nasty nature in sound. We've actually put most of the emphasis on the beat itself, rather than the original tune."
