'''Mario Circuit''' is the third race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. 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 [[New course|nitro]] Mario Circuit to be the third course of a cup. Mario Circuit reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' as the second course of the [[Boomerang Cup]].

Characters start out the race near a lake surrounding [[Peach's Castle]]. After going through the first corner, [[Goomba]]s 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 Plant]]s 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. After that, the racers go down on a curly track with [[Piranha Plant]]s reminiscent of those in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Beyond this, characters then continue running over concrete road. After taking a tight S turn, players cross the checked line.

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 the ''Mario Kart Tour'' iteration of 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.
