'''Mario Circuit''' is the third race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In the course enemies appear acting as obstacles: Goombas appear crossing the road to and from the sides. By shooting a [[Green Shell]] or [[Red Shell]] at them, or using a [[Super Star|Star]], Mushrooms spawn from the Goombas. A pair of [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s spit [[fireball]]s onto the course. The victim will spin out of control when touching one. Regular [[Piranha Plant]]s, as seen in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', are also present. This track shares its music and Grand Prix introduction fanfare with [[Figure-8 Circuit]], as well as sharing the latter with [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]] and {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}. | |||
This is the first Mario Circuit to appear in the Star Cup since [[Mario Circuit 4]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', and is also the only [[Nitro Course|nitro]] Mario Circuit to be the third course of a cup. | |||
Mario Circuit | Mario Circuit returns as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]], and as the second course of the [[Boomerang Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. | ||

Characters start out the race near a lake surrounding [[Peach's Castle]]. After going through the first corner, Goombas wandering on the middle of the track will try to block the racers' path. After passing by these enemies, characters run along a piece of the lake. Due to that part having no fence, players can fall off into water. Continuing the path, two Fire Piranha Plants located in a S bend will spit fireballs to the course that will cause drivers to spin out on impact. Going through a Warp Pipe-modeled tunnel, the players reach a dirt road after taking a tight turn. The track's dirt section can cause some karts to go off of course, especially on corners. Crossing over the Pipe tunnel, the racers go down on a curly track with Piranha Plants. Past this, characters then continue running over concrete road. After taking a tight S turn, players cross the checked line. | |||

Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' | [[File:MKT DS Mario Circuit Scene.jpg|250px|left|thumb|The course in ''Mario Kart Tour'']] | ||
This version of Mario Circuit makes its [[classic course]] debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]], being announced one day after its announcement for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. This is the first [[Mario Circuit]] course to be added in ''Mario Kart Tour'' since [[RMX Mario Circuit 1]] in the [[Mario Bros. Tour]] seventy-nine tours prior, and is the second Mario Circuit in the game to not be, or be based on, an SNES iteration, after [[3DS Mario Circuit]], which was added ninety tours prior in the [[Tokyo Tour]]. The music arrangement is slightly different to how it sounded in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', which makes this course the first classic course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to receive a new arrangement for its music that is not from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''; however, unlike the GBA arrangements, the theme retains most of its instrumentation. | |||
The course has received many visual improvements since its appearance in ''Mario Kart DS'', as well as many changes in the course. While it is mostly faithful to the layout of the original, the course is not remade in a 1:1 scale - most notably, the section after the pipe tunnel has been made far larger than its DS counterpart, and the straightaway housing the starting line is now slightly angled. The lake containing Peach's Castle, that now has the same design as in 3DS Mario Circuit, is noticeably smaller and now resembles a simple moat, and the roads on either side are much closer together as a consequence of this. There is now off-road between the main track and the lake. The section after the Fire Piranha Plants has now been changed into a brief forest section, and a ramp has been added at the end of the section. The wavy dirt turns alongside Peach's Castle have been changed to a more elongated S-turn, and they curve to the right first as well. More elevation has been added to the course, which is mostly noticeable with the S-turn at the end. The dirt path continues for a bit longer into the track than in ''Mario Kart DS''. The starting banner is now designed with Mario's hat atop and features the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. | |||
The course also appears as '''Mario Circuit R''' (reversed), '''Mario Circuit T''' (with ramps), and '''Mario Circuit R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, one of the [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s is moved near Peach's Castle, and a trickable pipe has been added after it and before the last turn to the finish line. In the T variant, one of the Fire Piranha Plants is removed, and the ramp at the end of the forest section is replaced with a [[Glide Ramp]]. | |||
The course is a favorite of [[Mario|Mario (Golf)]], [[Mario|Mario (Samurai)]], [[Toadette|Toadette (Sailor)]], [[Toad|Toad (Astronaut)]], [[Birdo|Birdo (White)]], [[Shy Guy|Light-blue Shy Guy (Explorer)]], and the [[Mii|Peach]], [[Mii|Roaring Racer]], and [[Mii|Spike Mii Racing Suits]]. | |||

[[File:MK8D DS Mario Circuit Scene.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The course in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']] | |||
This version of Mario Circuit returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 4 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It appears as the second course of the [[Boomerang Cup]]. It is the second [[Mario Circuit]] course in the pass, after {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, and the third circuit course in the pass overall, after {{classic-link|3DS|Toad Circuit}} and {{classic|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}. Despite first being announced for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' a day before its ''Mario Kart Tour'' announcement, it would debut in ''Mario Kart Tour'' before the release of Wave 4, giving this course the distinction of having the shortest gap between classic course appearances, with only a 19-hour gap; beating the previous course with this distinction, {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, by six days. Mario Circuit's inclusion in Wave 4 coincides with the wave's release date being near [[Mario Day]]. Due to time zones, in some regions, it is the only retro course in the series to reappear in multiple games in one day.<ref>(March 7, 2023). [https://youtu.be/l9L6ftPBxGM]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 8,2023. </ref> | |||
The course uses its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with major visual upgrades. A [[Wiggler]] has been added to the forest section of the course - it sleeps for around a minute and 27 seconds before waking up and beginning to move, meaning racers will encounter it on Lap 3. It will walk down to where the first turn of the forest section begins, loop around in the offroad, and continue back before eventually leaving the course entirely. A set of Item Boxes outside Peach's Castle has been moved. There are less flowers outside of Peach's Castle compared to ''Tour''. The spiral design on the trees' trunks has been removed. The yellow pipe after the first turn has been removed and the yellow and blue pipes near the S-turn have been made smaller to extend a fence. The minimap has been rotated. <ref>任天堂ホームページ (March 2, 2023). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX38Lfia-qw DS マリオサーキット]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 2, 2023.</ref> | |||
In descriptions given by [[Nintendo]] for all of the Wave 4 courses, this course was mistakenly described with elements from [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', with the course being said to have "blossoming trees" (referring to the cherry blossoms in that course) and taking racers through a winding path into Peach's Castle. The footage does not show a route with "blossoming trees" or a route inside Peach's Castle; instead, a fence is visible in front of the castle entrance, the castle doors are shut, and the castle bridge only comes up to the offroad.<ref>https://www.polygon.com/23621879/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch-booster-course-dlc-4-release-date</ref> | |||
