'''Mario Circuit''' is the second course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It is strongly based off the ''Mario Kart DS'' version of the track. In this, unlike the other Mario Circuit tracks, players can drive through Peach's Castle.

==Course layout==

The track takes place on a large grassy field with sand roads, Mushroom Trampolines, pipes, blossoming peach trees, a lake, and [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]]. The course starts on a small straight road and after two turns which a large curve with pink leaves appears. Then the player jumps off of a ramp, landing on a Mushroom Trampoline. Then a similar road to that of ''Mario Kart DS''{{'}}s Mario Circuit leads the way up to Peach's Castle. Then the road enters in Peach's Castle and, after a 270° turn up the spiral staircase, a glider pad enables the driver to fly out of the castle. Then a number of pipes appear that shoot out air, along with some [[Big Goomba|Giant Goomba]]s. A very long, large pipe similar to the ones form ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart DS'' appears, in which drivers must drive through in a curve leading them back to a long road going back to the finish. {{br|left}}

===Shortcuts===
*After the first turn, players can use a [[Mushroom]] to hit a [[ramp]] to the right in the grass.
*Before Peach's Castle, there are some ramps in the grass.
*After gliding out of the castle, players can veer left and hit a ramp to save some time.

==Trivia==
*In an early trailer of ''Mario Kart 7'', when Mario Circuit was shown, there was originally a Mushroom Trampoline where the players glided out of the side of the castle, probably because the concept of gliders hadn't been implemented into the game.
*The blossoming peach trees in this track was later reused for the revamped [[Royal Raceway]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.
**In addition, the falling flower petals from the trees are actually intended to serve as a 3D effect of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. When the 3D mode is activated, the falling petals seem to "pop out" of the screen.
*This is the only Flower Cup course in ''Mario Kart 7'' to not have a different name in PAL regions.
