'''Electrodrome''' is the third race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It is set in a neon-lit [[Wikipedia: Nightclub|discothèque]] filled with [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and [[Piranha Plant]]s. Banners with the Star Cup logo can be seen throughout the track, as well as some big screens displaying characters dancing, spectrum analyzers, and the [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] logo. As some tracks from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', the music has different layers depending on the location of the player. Driving on the parts of the course representing electronic instruments will cause effects to be added to the music, and when racing through areas that feature a crowd of dancing Koopas and Shy Guys, hand claps become audible.

==Course layout==
[[File:MK8-Course-Electrodrome-startingline.png|thumb|250px|left|The course as seen from the starting line.]]
The course starts directly in front of a gliding panel. After the racers glide down to the road below, there is a turn going left. Shortly after the turn, there is an anti-gravity area curving to a wall that soon splits into two roads, one pink and one green. In the area where the music changes, transparent squares of the road's color appear in the edge of the screen. The roads twist around each other before connecting. At the end of each road is a gliding panel leading to a large neon platform with the words "Star Cup" on it, as well as the cup’s logo. There is a small jump at the end of the platform and a left turn that leads to the finish line.{{br}}

===Shortcuts===
*Players can cut of the turn before the anti-gravity section using a speed boost. This shortcut is best done with a Star. 
*At the final left turn, players can cut through the rough section with a speed boost instead of taking the turn.

==Trivia==
*During the countdown to the race, the large screen in the background shows a spectrum analyzer before switching to a party scene. This spectrum analyzer is the same one seen in the third trailer that first showed Electrodrome.
**This also makes Electrodrome one of four courses with an opening animation that can be used only during the countdown (as the spectrum analyzer is in sync with the countdown). The others are [[Twisted Mansion]], [[Bowser's Castle (Wii U)|Bowser's Castle]], and [[Excitebike Arena]].
*Characters' idle animations are slightly quicker in Electrodrome and [[Music Park|<small>3DS</small> Music Park]] compared to other courses. However, this only occurs during Grand Prix and local VS mode.
*This track's music is played during the staff credits.
*Many large screens throughout the whole track show some dancing Koopa Troopas and Shy Guys, along with a silhouette of a disc jockey.
**The actual camera angle showed by each screen appears to be chosen randomly between at least two possible angles, one of them reveal that the disc jockey is indeed [[Larry Koopa]]<ref>[http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Alternate_screen.png The first screen of the Electrodrome, showing the dancing Koopa Troopas and Shy Guys along with the disc jockey from a different angle]</ref> .
*Similar to [[Music Park]], Electrodrome has several panels, that when driven over, make up several ascending beats.
*This is one of two courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' with a portion of the track which activates a voice, the other being [[Big Blue (course)|Big Blue]].
*On the Prima Guide to Mario Kart 8, the book has a typo where "Electrodrome" is spelled "Electrodome". When the reader gets to the Time Trials page after [[N64 Rainbow Road]], there are no typos with Electrodrome.

-'''Electrodrome''' is the third race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is set in a neon-lit {{wp|nightclub}} filled with [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and [[Raving Piranha Plant]]s. Banners with the Star Cup logo can be seen throughout the track, as well as some big screens displaying characters dancing, spectrum analyzers, and the [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] logo. The course's English name comes from "electro", a genre of music, and the suffix "-drome", meaning race course; it is so far the only race course in the ''Mario Kart'' series to have a one-word English name, and one of only two courses in general with this distinction (the other being [[N64 Skyscraper|Skyscraper]], a battle course from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'').

The analyzer goes in that order: blue, yellow, red, and rainbow. This also makes Electrodrome one of six courses with an opening animation during the countdown, with the others being [[Twisted Mansion]], [[Mount Wario]], [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)|Bowser's Castle]], [[Excitebike Arena]] and [[Piranha Plant Cove]]. Stylized [[? Block]]s can be seen around the course below some of the giant screens.

-==Music==
-Like some courses from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', the music has different layers depending on the location of the player. Driving on the parts of the course representing electronic instruments causes effects to be added to the music, and when racing through areas that feature a crowd of dancing Koopas and Shy Guys, hand claps (as well as the Shy Guys' voices) become audible. This track has the most channels of music in the game, having eight different channels due to the base music, first place beats, electronic instruments, and the crowd of dancing Koopas and Shy Guys. This number of music channels is tied with other tracks, including [[Music Park|<small>3DS</small> Music Park]].
