Mario Circuit 3 is the fifth and final course of the Flower Cup in Super Mario Kart. It subsequently reappears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit as the second course in the Extra Lightning Cup, Mario Kart Wii as the first course of the Lightning Cup, Mario Kart Tour after being introduced in the 2019 Paris Tour, and the Booster Course Pass of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the second course of the Turnip Cup. It is a tarmac circuit set in a grassland.

If one counts Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as one game, Mario Circuit 3 is tied with SNES Rainbow Road as the course that has appeared in the Mario Kart series the most, at five appearances.

Overview

Mario Circuit 3 is a long, almost symmetrical track with many twists and turns (even bearing a faint resemblance to both the Sepang International Circuit, located in Malaysia and Circuito de Jerez, located in Spain), but no obstacles other than pipes and oil slicks scattered throughout the track. One curve is extremely sharp and is performed best by slowing down or drifting. At the end of the track, there is one zipper which can be used to take the lead or catch up at the last minute. There is also a shortcut: Soon after the sharp twist, there is a less sharp curve. The gap in the crash barrier there can be used to avoid the curve. It is best to use a mushroom or a star here, to avoid slowing down.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit

Mario Circuit 3 appeared in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and is the second track in the Extra Lightning Cup. It uses the background from that game's own Mario Circuit. The pipe and oil hazards were removed from the track, along with the zipper, and an extra item box can be found on the straight shortly after the sharp turn.

The sharp bend can be used to perform a Mini-Turbo by drifting and holding it for a second or more.

Mario Kart Wii

Mario Circuit 3 reappears in Mario Kart Wii as the first course of the Lightning Cup where it remains unchanged, aside from getting a new starting banner like the other SNES and GBA courses that reappear in the game, and receiving a graphical update and slightly larger scale overall. It is one of two courses in the game where players cannot perform tricks, the other being N64 DK's Jungle Parkway.

Tournaments

The tournament

A tournament took place on this track. The track was an Arena. Players had to collect every coin that was in the area. It was a karts only tournament, and it was the second tournament of September 2008 and the first tournament of October 2010, with the same restrictions. It was later repeated as the second tournament of February 2012 and the first tournament of May 2013, without restrictions.

Mario Kart Tour

The course's icon in Mario Kart Tour

Mario Circuit 3 returns in Mario Kart Tour, introduced in the 2019 Paris Tour. It retains its appearance from Mario Kart Wii. The Dash Panel behind the starting line is changed to the current Dash Panel design. This course is a favorite of Toad (Pit Crew), Yellow Toad (Pit Crew), White Yoshi, Mario (Musician), Peach (Vacation), Mario (Swimwear), Mario (Halloween), and Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES). It is also a favorite of Mario (Classic) and Mario (Chef) if they are at level 6. As with other courses in the game, Mario Circuit 3 has an R version, a T version, and an R/T version referred to as Mario Circuit 3R, Mario Circuit 3T and Mario Circuit 3R/T respectively; the former two were introduced alongside the regular version in the 2019 Paris Tour, while the latter was added in the Vancouver Tour. The R/T variant has a Chain Chomp.

View of the course

Mario Circuit 3 returns as the second course of the Turnip Cup in the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It is based on its appearance in Mario Kart Tour, though with updated graphics. Floating Brick Blocks, staircases, pipes with Piranha Plants, and Goal Poles have been added in the background as decoration, and Toads and Shy Guys have been added as spectators. Traffic cones also now appear in front of the oil slicks. The music is slightly rearranged, but retains its SNES-styled sound.[1]

  • European website bio: "Hairpin turns and oil slicks make this tight little course treacherous. Successfully steering into the boost on the final straight could mean the difference between victory and defeat."
