New courses appear in the [[Mushroom Cup]], [[Flower Cup]], [[Star Cup]], and [[Special Cup]] (and in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', the [[Lightning Cup]]), with each [[cup]] containing four new courses (five in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''). Prior to the "new course" term being used, they were addressed by other terms based on the game they were derived from: in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the original tracks are called '''Super Circuit Tracks''' to distinguish them from the tracks originating from ''Super Mario Kart'', called Extra Tracks; in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the new courses are known as '''Nitro Courses''', derived from the project codename for the [[Nintendo DS]], Project Nitro; and in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the new courses are known as '''Wii Courses'''. Most new courses have gone on to later reappear in other ''Mario Kart'' games as [[classic course]]s. Starting with the DLC cups in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', new courses can appear in the same cup as classic courses.

In all console ''Mario Kart'' games, at least one [[Mario Circuit]], [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series|Bowser's Castle]], [[Rainbow Road]], beach- or water-themed course, and ice- or snow-themed course have appeared as new courses. While ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' also has all of these, its Mario Circuit, Bowser's Castle, and Rainbow Road have only been in the form of [[remix course]]s.

A subset of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''{{'}}s new courses are referred to as '''city courses''' and are specifically set in real life cities. These courses typically appear in tours themed after their pertinent city, such as [[Tour London Loop|London Loop]] in the [[London Tour]]. There are up to four different layouts of city courses, with the fourth layout typically being a 1-lap circuit that incorporates most of the routes of the three previous layouts.
