The starting line for the course is situated alongside [[Princess Peach's Castle]], from which the player drives straight for a short distance to a left turn, followed by a hairpin bend towards the right. This is followed by a long and gentle left turn around a patch of grass with a [[Chain Chomp]], which will occasionally come out and attack the player, who will spin out if hit. This is followed by a gentle S-curve within a tunnel, followed by a straight level bridge. This then leads to another short stretch of straight road with a pair of [[Piranha Plant]]s on each side, which will attempt to bite the player and cause them to flip over if caught. The player must then drive around a left hairpin bend and a right turn, where they will approach a bumpy section of road with [[Goomba]]s, which follows another gentle S-curve shape. After another left turn the player will then jump over an arched bridge towards the finish line, where there is another Piranha Plant on each side of the road. | The starting line for the course is situated alongside [[Princess Peach's Castle]], from which the player drives straight for a short distance to a left turn, followed by a hairpin bend towards the right.

*Part of the circular curve can be skipped and the Chain Chomp avoided by using a [[Mushroom]] or speed-boosting [[Item]] to cut across the grass behind it. | *Part of the circular curve can be skipped and the Chain Chomp avoided by using a [[Mushroom]] or speed-boosting [[Item]] to cut across the grass behind it. | ||

This course was originally going to appear as a retro track in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unused Data|was removed prior to the game's release]]. The track would have used the textures "BeachTree1", "kuribo", and "mario_tree", which still remain in the game's files. There were no Goombas present toward the end of the track, and had reduced graphics due to the limitations of the console. It can still be accessed in the game's data, and can be found by [[wikipedia:Action Replay|Action Replay]] without textures or through ROM Hacking with textures.<ref>[http://youtube.com/watch?v=r_zTcoBJr4w YouTube - Mario Kart DS Kiosk Beta: GCN Mario Circuit]</ref> | |||
