'''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 [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' than its N64 [[Wario Stadium|counterpart]] and shares the same music with [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]].

 

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 classic course themed after Wario.

===''Mario Kart DS''===

The course starts with a 180 degree 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.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===

Wario Stadium 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''.

''"For this track, we've tried to represent Wario's nasty nature in sound. We've actually put most of the emphasis on the beat itself, rather than the original tune."''
