'''Wario Stadium''' is the first course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The track has its own introduction music in the single-player Grand Prix. The course contains numerous mud puddles, [[Dash Panel]]s, jumps, twists, [[Fire Chain]]s and [[Fire Bars|Bars]]. This version is more reminiscent of {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' than its N64 [[Wario Stadium|counterpart]] and shares the same music with [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]].  

 

This course's unique introduction music may be a reference to the {{wp|Organ (music)|baseball organ}}, based on its sounds and due to the fact that the course is a stadium.

 

Wario Stadium reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first race of the [[Leaf Cup]], making it the first Wario-themed classic course.

The course starts with a 180° left turn, followed by a right turn and a left U-turn. The player then climbs up a ramp and uses a [[Dash Panel]] to jump over the end of the course (a mesh platform prevents racers from falling down). The player turns left into a mud pit that slows racers down. Dash Panels on islands in the mud serve as a path to navigate the mud. Then, racers climb up a pair of ramps with spinning Fire Chains. The path narrows and passes a mud pit with Fire Bars. Next, racers climb a giant ramp before passing several small humps. Racers take one more U-turn before jumping off another ramp to the finish line.

Mission 7-5 takes place on Wario Stadium using [[Wario]]. In this mission, the player must collect 20 coins in 55 seconds.

Wario Stadium makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first race of the [[Leaf Cup]]. This version of the course has largely the same layout, though some changes have been made in the Fire Bars section. Rather than driving through a mud path, racers now drive on a raised platform that acts as an anti-gravity section (similar to [[Mario Kart Stadium]] and {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}). Soon after, racers encounter a new [[Underwater driving|underwater section]] instead of continuing on the dirt path from the previous version, which then leads to a [[Glide Ramp]] instead of a [[Dash Panel]]. This part of the track, compared to the original section, has been modified to just a simple U-turn. Other major changes include the addition of a statue of Wario and the time of day, which has been changed from night to day. All the Dash Panels on the ramps are also smaller compared to their original appearance, but are more powerful, and racers can perform tricks when driving over one. In addition, the crowd can be heard cheering if the player performs a trick in both the Fire Chain jump and at the end of the anti-gravity section. Like its first appearance, it shares its music with {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, making these courses the only courses to share the same music in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', and one of the only retro courses in the series to share music with another retro course in the same game excluding ''Mario Kart Tour'' (the other four being {{classic-link|GBA|Peach Circuit}} with {{classic-link|GBA|Luigi Circuit}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}} with {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}} in ''Mario Kart DS'').

==Track layout comparisons==

{{rewrite|section=y|Integrate into the above Layout sections}}

The inner loop is the same in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart 8''. Turn 4 after the bridge is sharper in ''8'', leading into the boost mold section.

 

Turn 5 leads left to the first jump section. Though they have same hills in ''DS'' and ''8'', the ''DS'' section is diagonally aligned.

 

In the ''DS'' layout, the hills are followed by turn 6 slightly right, turns 7-9 with mud traps, turn 10 leading into the second jump section, and turn 11 leading right into a bumpy section.

 

The ''8'' layout skips turns 6 through 11, instead banking into an inside-leaning vertical hover section for its turn 6, leading into the sharp turns 7 and 8, followed by a turn 9 left turn into a jump section.

The final sharp turn, which is turn 12 in ''DS'' and turn 10 in ''8'', lead back onto the main stretch.

|EngE=Wario's tricky track is just as tricky and dirty as the man himself. It's a bump-ridden speedway-style course packed with pitfalls like mud to slow you down and spinning wheels of fire to burn unwary drivers. How this passed the safety inspection we'll never know...}}
