| '''Figure-8 Circuit''', also titled '''Figure-Eight Circuit''' in the kiosk demo, is the introductory track of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', serving as the first race course of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. The course is named for having a layout in the shape of an 8. It is the only "circuit" in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series that is not associated with a character. The Figure-8 Circuit is comparable to several [[Luigi Circuit]] courses throughout the ''Mario Kart'' games for having a simple, straightforward layout with no unique gimmicks and no obstacles. Figure-8 Circuit is where the awards ceremony is held after every [[cup]]. | | '''Figure-8 Circuit''' is the first race course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', as well as the location of the awards ceremony held after any [[cup]]. The race track resembles an 8. It is comparable to [[Luigi Circuit]] of numerous other [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] games, as simple, straightforward, and free of gimmicks. This race course has a different introduction fanfare on Grand Prix, which is shared with [[Waluigi Pinball (course)|Waluigi Pinball]], [[Mario Circuit (DS)|Mario Circuit]] and [[Luigi Circuit (GCN)|<small>GCN</small> Luigi Circuit]]. |

| Figure-8 Circuit has a different introduction fanfare on Grand Prix, which is shared with [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]], [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] (which uses the same music theme as Figure-8 Circuit) and {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}.
| | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', there is a ''Mario Kart''-themed course entitled "[[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit]]" that has a similar layout to Figure-8 Circuit. The stage reappears under the name "Figure-8 Circuit" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. |
|
| |
|
| Two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] take place on Figure-8 Circuit: [[Mario Kart DS#Mission 1-1|Mission 1-1]] involves [[Mario]] passing through 5 gates within 35 seconds, while [[Mario Kart DS#Mission 2-2|Mission 2-2]] involves [[Yoshi]] collecting 10 [[coin]]s within 30 seconds.
| | ==Missions== |
| | [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|Missions]] 1-1 and 2-2 take place on this circuit. The first requires the player to pass through 5 gates in order and the second requires them to collect 10 coins. |
|
| |
|
| A ''Mario Kart''-themed stage based on Figure-8 Circuit appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is also titled [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Figure-8 Circuit]] in the latter game, but is titled Mario Circuit in the first two games beforehand.

| Figure-8 Circuit has a basic wide layout with prolonged turns, allowing racers to perform several [[Drift|power-slide]]s. The finish line is right after where the track crosses under the upper part of the course. Most of Figure-8 Circuit's details are in the background, starting with the bleachers that consist of a full crowd, which are heard cheering as racers drive by. The bleachers start from the race line and end at a background pit stop to the right. There are no obstacles in the course except for grass surrounding the boundaries. The pit stop is immediately followed by a straightforward path. From there, a few large [[Warp Pipe]]s and platform blocks resembling those from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' can be seen on grassy hills in the distance. After the straight path is a loop, which takes racers around and then overlaps beneath a bridge that is supported by some bricks. The road on top of the bridge is the center of the straight path, which reveals that the straight path is slightly slanted downward. The lap ends after going under the bridge.

| *The ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' iteration of [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] is shaped after a number 8, much like this course. However, it is also based on a {{wp|Möbius strip}}, due to the game's anti-gravity mechanic. | | *This is the one of two "circuits" in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] that is not owned by any playable character, the other being [[Hyrule Circuit]]. |
| *As of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', Figure-8 Circuit is the only track from this game's [[Mushroom Cup]] that has yet to return as a [[classic course]] in a future ''Mario Kart'' game. It is also one of three courses from ''Mario Kart DS'' that has yet to return, the others being [[Bowser Castle (Mario Kart DS)|Bowser Castle]] and [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart DS)|Rainbow Road]]. | | *In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s rendition of [[Mario Circuit (Wii U)|Mario Circuit]], it is shaped after a number 8, much like this course. However, it is also based on a [[wikipedia:Möbius strip|Möbius strip]], due to the game's anti-gravity mechanic. |
| | | *This is the only Mushroom Cup course in ''Mario Kart DS'' that has yet to become a retro course. |
