Super Mario Kart[edit]
Course layout[edit]
Luigi racing on the course.
The longest of the Mario Circuits, it is still a straightforward course of normal road, with pipes and oil slicks as the only hazards. The overall layout is very similar to that of Mario Circuit 3, but more difficult and with left and right reversed. Additionally, Feathers are disabled for this track to prevent racers from jumping over the walls and thus saving a lot of time. The course begins with a U-turn to the left followed by a right turn and the only set of ? Panels. There is then a sharp right turn followed by a sharp left turn, and then two 90° turns to the left. A straightaway then leads racers into a sharp U-turn to the right followed by a brief straight and a sharp U-turn to the left. After a slight right turn and a left turn, racers reach the finish line.
Shortcuts[edit]
A notable shortcut can be found after the second left U-turn. Similar to the shortcut found in Mario Circuit 3, the player can use a Mushroom or Star to drive through the off-road to the right of the track, passing through a gap in the wall and cutting off the last right turn.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]
Mario taking the shortcut. Note the extra item box on the track.
Mario Circuit 4 reappeared in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and is the third track of the Extra Star Cup. It uses the background from Peach Circuit. The pipe and oil slick hazards were removed from the track and an item box can be found next to the shortcut.
