'''Toad Circuit''' is the introductory track of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', serving as the first race of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. It takes place at a basic circuit where giant balloons of various [[Toad (species)|Toads]] are seen floating throughout it. This course appears on the cover art of ''Mario Kart 7'', and the award ceremony also takes place on this course at the end of a Grand Prix. It shares its music with [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]].

Toad Circuit reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[New York Tour]] alongside the rest of ''Mario Kart 7''{{'}}s Mushroom Cup, and in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second course of the [[Golden Dash Cup]].

==''Mario Kart 7''==
===Course layout===
[[File:Mario on Toad Circuit MK7.png|thumb|left|Mario racing along Toad Circuit.]]
The course is a simple circuit with few obstacles, as it is the first course in the game and is thus comparable to [[Luigi Circuit]] in previous installments. Giant [[mushroom]]s are seen through out the track in different sizes and three large balloons of [[Toad]]s (red, blue, and yellow) are floating along the track as well. Banners of [[Toad]] himself can be seen throughout the course with the accompanying ''Mario Kart'' logo. The track begins on a long straightaway that is partially suspended over another part of the track. It is followed by a prolonged turn, before straightening out and crossing under the first part of the track. There is a brief split around the poles holding up the bridge, with [[Dash Panels]] along each side and traffic cones positioned between them. After 40 seconds pass, a ramp rises from the ground in front of the bridge, allowing the player to use their glider and spar over it (though they are counted out-of-bounds if they land on it). Then there is a tunnel that curves left, a right turn, a more gradual left turn, and then a big curve where lots of [[coin]]s can be collected before crossing the finish line to start the next lap.

There is a pair of toadstools displayed on the touch screen map that are not present in the actual course itself; these were restored when the course was remade for ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

The spectator stands around the final turn hold approximately 200 spectators, along with spectator-styled surface patterns.

===Shortcuts===
*After the tunnel, there is a ramp in a sand pit, where the player needs a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to cross. Also, after the ramp and inside the final turn, there is a dirt area with pipes that the player can cross by using a Mushroom. The player can also cut the first turn using three Mushrooms.

===Glitches===
There is an [[Item Box]] glitch in this course in ''Mario Kart 7''. It involves using the [[Glide Ramp]] which is accessible on laps 2 and 3. The player should glide to the right, where there is a row of [[Item Box]]es on the bridge, and swoop down to collect one without going too close to the road and being counted out of bounds. When the player does this, the game will assume for a fraction of a second that the player is all the way back at the bridge and thus momentarily changes their placement to last (unless another player is even further behind). By quickly returning to the track after the bridge, and not flying towards the [[Toad]] balloon on the right (which will also count the player out of bounds), a player in any position can therefore hold very good items.<ref>Ryanator (March 9, 2013).

==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[File:MKT Icon ToadCircuit3DS Toad.png|220px|thumb|right|Course icon for {{classic|3DS|Toad Circuit}} in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Toad Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]]. The course is played for the tutorial, and when an update is being downloaded. This effectively makes Toad Circuit the flagship course of the game, as players can drive around it in every tour, even when it does not appear in one. In the version that can be played when downloading updates, there are ramps before the tunnel. Other than graphical improvements, the course remains almost the same as its original appearance.

The course also appears as '''Toad Circuit R''' (reversed), '''Toad Circuit T''' (with ramps), and '''Toad Circuit R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the base variant in the New York Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[New Year's Tour (2020)|2020 New Year's Tour]]. In the R variant, two [[Goomba]]s and many dash panels appear on the track. In the T and R/T variants, many small pipes appear along the track as ramps.

==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
[[File:MK8D 3DS Toad Circuit.png|250px|thumb|left|The course in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Toad Circuit makes its home console debut in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second course of the [[Golden Dash Cup]]. It is largely identical to its appearance in ''Mario Kart Tour'', except there are now [[Mario Kart TV]] trucks in the off-road areas, and certain aesthetic details have been updated, with the Toad balloons having their hands fully modeled and the ''Mario Kart'' logos on the signs throughout the track being rendered in 3D instead of being flat textures. There are also now tires in some offroad sections that can be hit, much like in {{classic link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}.

The spectator stands hold approximately 1,000 spectators.

As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update.

==Notes==
*The cheering audience from this course can be heard when [[Donkey Kong]] plays his [[Nintendo 3DS]] in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.
*The layout for this course heavily resembles that of the unused ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' course titled "[[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unreleased courses|dokan_course]]".
**The layout also has a passing semblance to [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Figure-8 Circuit]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] franchise, though with one banked corner instead of two, and the main straight is much longer.
