Daisy Circuit is the first course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It is a tarmac road that drives through a seaside resort. The course travels across a seaside town with a sunset background on a shore, with the hills resembling those of the Muda Kingdom from Super Mario Land. The course follows Daisy's appearance, with various flower motifs found throughout the level. There is also a docking area with a lighthouse and cruise ships (including Daisy Cruiser from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!). Small baroque-style buildings can be seen from the background. In the figure-8 portion of the track, there are two circular fountains. On the top of the first fountain is a large golden statue of Daisy and Luigi dancing. The other statue shows Baby Luigi swinging Baby Daisy..

Despite it being a circuit course, Daisy Circuit does not use the main circuit theme of the game (the theme used for Luigi Circuit and Mario Circuit). Instead, it has its own unique theme to fit its seaside setting and character, which has some parts of the main circuit theme arranged. A remix of its theme appears as one of the selectable songs in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

Daisy Circuit reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart Tour starting with the Princess Tour, and in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the third course of the Acorn Cup in the Booster Course Pass.[1]

Mario Kart Wii

The course takes place in a small town near the ocean at sunset, and the Daisy Cruiser can be seen in the background. The track begins on a straightaway that leads up to a sharp right turn into a town, where Toads, Piantas, Boos and Sledge Bros. line the streets. The road is slightly twisted and features traffic cones. After the town, there are two fountains, one of Daisy and Luigi, and the other with Baby Luigi and Baby Daisy. Racers are then able to go either right or left of the fountains around them. There are Item Boxes around the second fountain. After the fountains is a small tunnel that leads to the right. Miis are present in this tunnel, cheering for the racer. Right after the tunnel, there is a straight road that leads to a large hairpin turn around the lighthouse. Soon after this, the player reaches a straightway that leads to a left turn going back leading to the finish line.

When the player is playing as a Mii, the heads of the fountains will be replaced by Mii heads. Daisy and Baby Daisy are replaced by female Mii heads, while Luigi and Baby Luigi are changed to male Mii heads. The Daisy Cruiser that appears in the background scenery has its exhaust pipe colored gray instead of orange.

Daisy Circuit is one of only two Wii tracks to not feature any moving course parts, the other being Wii Luigi Circuit. It is also the only Wii track to not feature any hazards, in any of its versions, that make racers spin out or flip over.

Shortcuts

A small shortcut can be taken here by going into a narrow staircase in the pink building. Since it is offroad, it slows the player if the player goes into it, meaning that an item like a Mushroom is required to take it. Dash Panels and an Item Box are in the shortcut.

Tournaments

October 2009's second tournament required players to pass through 22 gates on Daisy Circuit. Players first go up the staircase with the help of a ground Mushroom, then spend the remainder of the mission driving in a figure-8 shape around the two fountains. This is the only gate tournament to take place on a race track without following its intended route. The tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of August 2011, the second tournament of October 2012, and the first tournament of January 2014.

Mario Kart Tour

 
Daisy Circuit in Mario Kart Tour

Daisy Circuit makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Tour starting with the Princess Tour. The starting line is now blue, and the logo is now the modern Mario Kart series one, with the colors across the logo no longer being a gradient; purple has been added to the color scheme as well. The road now has a blue tint. The streetlamps have been rotated 90° counterclockwise. The fountains are now one big fountain rather than multiple small fountains in a circle. The road in this section is now patterned instead of being a simple tarmac road, and most of the course's spectators have been removed. The statues have been redesigned slightly, with Daisy and Luigi's statues now lacking mouths, Daisy's statue lacking eyelashes, and Baby Daisy's statue now having its eyes open. The statues are also more golden. The lighthouse appears to be turned off now. The Daisy Candy billboard uses a 2D artwork of Daisy instead of 3D artwork. The traffic cones have been removed solely from the opening section of the course, and a wooden cutout has been added before the shortcut; as a result, the shortcut is no longer offroad. The minimap now reflects the various elevated sections of the course, and said sections can be reached from normal elevation if the racer steers into them enough. It also now includes the pavement bordering the main road in the town section.

The course also appears as Daisy Circuit R (reversed), Daisy Circuit T (with ramps), and Daisy Circuit R/T (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, there is a glide ramp on each side of the first fountain, and tricks can be performed off of the Luigi and Daisy fountain. In the T variant, there are four Rocky Wrenches in the first section of the course.

With Daisy Circuit's inclusion in Mario Kart Tour, every Daisy-themed course in the Mario Kart series and all Star Cup tracks originating from Mario Kart Wii have appeared as a classic course at least once.

Daisy Circuit in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Daisy Circuit returns in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as part of the sixth and final wave of the Booster Course Pass DLC. It appears as the third course in the Acorn Cup. The course is based on its appearance from Mario Kart Tour, with graphical enhancements. A hang gliding ramp has been added to the shortcut of the stairs at the start of the runway. A trick ramp has been added after the tunnel. Dash Panels have been added to the turn around the lighthouse. Similar to Wii Coconut Mall, the paved road has become orange, and the classic road returns to its original gray color. While the track is still set at sunset, the sky is no longer exclusively orange.

With Daisy Circuit's inclusion, every Star Cup course originating from Mario Kart Wii appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.[1] Daisy Circuit's reveal also makes Wave 6 the only wave of the Booster Course Pass to not have a Mario Kart Tour course or a prefixless course be the first course revealed for it. It is also one of two courses from Mario Kart Wii to appear in Wave 6, the other being Wii Rainbow Road.
