'''Mario Circuit''' is the second course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It is strongly based upon the ''Mario Kart DS'' [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|version of the track]]. Unlike other Mario Circuit tracks, where [[Peach's Castle]] is a background element, this course allows players to drive through the castle. This rendition of Mario Circuit returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it appears in tours starting with the [[Tokyo Tour]]. This track shares its music with [[3DS Toad Circuit|Toad Circuit]].

This is the only Flower Cup course in ''Mario Kart 7'' to not have a different name in British English versions.

==''Mario Kart 7''==
===Course layout===
[[File:MK3DS4.png|thumb|left|250px|Mario driving in front of Peach's Castle in a pre-release screenshot of ''Mario Kart 7''. Note the lack of ramps.]]
The track takes place on a large grassy field with sand roads, floating [[Brick Blocks]], a [[Mushroom Trampoline]], [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, blossoming peach trees, a lake, and [[Peach's Castle]]. The course begins with a small, straightforward path with two turns, after which pink flower petals begin falling out of the trees on a long bend to the left. Activating the 3D effect of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] gives the effect of the petals popping out of the screen. After a ramp, the racers bounce off a Mushroom Trampoline into a curvy section leading towards Peach's Castle, which they then enter. After a spiral upwards, a [[Glide Ramp]] launches the drivers out of the castle into an area where pipes blow out wind (allowing for [[Trick|Tricks]] to be performed) and [[Goomba]]s appear. Following this is a very large pipe, not unlike the one found in [[N64 Mario Raceway|Mario Raceway]], which drivers must curve through to reach the finish line after one small bump in the road.

===Shortcuts===
There are a number of shortcuts available in this track. Between the first and second turns, drivers may use [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s to use a ramp in the middle of the grass. Mushrooms can also be used to cut grass on the corner before the Mushroom Trampolines. There are two additional ramps in front of Peach's Castle. There is yet another ramp to the left when the racers exit the castle, and a rail to the left along the pipe, both of which save some time.

==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[File:MKT Icon MarioCircuit3DS Peachette.png|thumb|right|The course icon with Peachette in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
This version of Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Tokyo Tour]]. The course has undergone a few minor changes. Peach's Castle has been redesigned, with the entrance to the castle now having doors leading into the spiral upwards. The starting line has a new look that resembles a garden gate. 

The course also appears as '''Mario Circuit R''' (reversed), '''Mario Circuit T''' (with ramps), and '''Mario Circuit R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the original in the Tokyo Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019 Winter Tour]]. In the T variant, there are several more [[Mushroom Trampoline|mushroom trampolines]], and the gliding section is gone; there is instead a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] at the end of the track which allows racers to glide onto one of two sets of floating blocks. In the R/T variant, the gliding section is still gone, with a glide ramp appearing a bit after racers exit the castle.

==Trivia==
*In an early trailer of ''Mario Kart 7'', when Mario Circuit was shown, there was originally a Mushroom Trampoline in the pit which players normally glide over, due to gliders not having yet been implemented.
*The blossoming peach trees in this track were later reused for {{classic-link|N64|Royal Raceway}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.
