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. The right side of the tracks lacks railings, which racers can fall off of into a the moat of the castle. Continuing the path, two [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s located in a S bend will spit fireballs on the track. The Fire Piranha Plants alternate between a few directions as to where they spit fireballs. Going through a Warp Pipe-modeled tunnel, the racers are met with a tight turn. Shortly after, the asphalt track turns into a dirt track where the racers have to take another tight turn. After that, the racers go down a wavy path where Peach's Castle entrance is located and where there are [[Piranha Plant]]s reminiscent of those in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Racers might want to be careful here since the dirt makes for a slippery experience which might make them run into the Piranha Plants. Finally, the dirt track ends and the racers have to take a final S-turn which takes them back to the starting line. | Characters start out the race near a lake surrounding [[Peach's Castle]].

Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', first appearing in the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]]. The course has received many visual improvements since its appearance in ''Mario Kart DS''. 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. | Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', first appearing in the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]].

Mario Circuit appears again in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second course of the [[Boomerang Cup]], and as such was added in the fourth wave of the DLC. 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 approximately one minute and 27 seconds before waking up and beginning to move, meaning racers are most likely to encounter it on the final lap (it can be encountered on the second lap if the 50cc class is selected, or not at all in 200cc). It walks down to where the first turn of the forest section begins, loops around in the offroad, and continues back before eventually leaving the course entirely. The forest section of the course also now has much darker grass. A set of Item Boxes outside Peach's Castle has been moved. There are less flowers outside of Peach's Castle compared to its ''Mario Kart Tour'' iteration. 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 by 90 degrees counterclockwise. This course is one of three in the Booster Course Pass to not have its minimap rotated so that drivers start facing straight up on it, the other two being {{classic link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} and {{classic link|Wii|DK Summit}}. | Mario Circuit appears again in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second course of the [[Boomerang Cup]], and as such was added in the fourth wave of the DLC.

* In descriptions given by [[Nintendo]] for all of the Wave 4 courses, Mario Circuit was mistakenly described with elements from the [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] of ''[[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 course does not feature a route with "blossoming trees" or a route inside Peach's Castle; instead, a fence is present in front of the castle entrance, the castle doors are shut, and the castle bridge only comes up to the offroad.<ref>{{cite|url=www.polygon.com/23621879/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch-booster-course-dlc-4-release-date|author=McWhertor, Michael|date=March 2, 2023|title=Mario Kart 8’s new Birdo and Yoshi’s Island DLC arrive next week|publisher=Polygon|language=en|accessdate=August 1, 2024}}</ref> | * In descriptions given by [[Nintendo]] for all of the Wave 4 courses, Mario Circuit was mistakenly described with elements from the [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] of ''[[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.
