'''Luigi Circuit''' is the first course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. It is the longest of the three circuits and is [[Luigi]]'s home track of the game. It is the first ''Mario Kart'' track to ever take place in the rain, and would remain the only course with this distinction until [[3DS Neo Bowser City|Neo Bowser City]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. This is the only [[Luigi Circuit]] course to not appear in the [[Mushroom Cup]] (meaning it is placed after a [[Mario Circuit]] race).

The course is set on what appears to be an airfield filled with rain [[puddle]]s during a downpour, which when driven through cause drivers to spin out and lose speed. In the background are hangars numbered "64" and "65", flanking a radio control building. In the third lap, a Luigi blimp takes off and flies around (the same blimp can be seen in [[GBA Sky Garden|Sky Garden]]). The course features many tight turns suited for [[drift]]ing and winds around circuitously several times, akin to a real-life kart racing track. It shares its music with [[GBA Peach Circuit|Peach Circuit]] and [[GBA Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]].

Luigi Circuit reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the third race of the [[Leaf Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2023)|2023 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]].

The course begins with a right turn followed by a left turn and a U-turn to the right. Racers then encounter the first set of [[Item Box]]es and take a slight right turn and a sharp U-turn to the left. There is then a right turn, a right U-turn, and a 135° left turn that leads into a straightaway; at the end of the straightaway is an individual Item Box on the left side. After the straightaway, there is another right U-turn and the track slightly serpentines for a while, with the last item set at the end of this section. A left U-turn, a brief straightaway, a right U-turn, and another brief straightaway then brings racers to the finish line.

 

Throughout the course, [[puddle]]s regularly appear as obstacles.

 

A notable shortcut can be found where the track slightly serpentines. The player can drive through the grass to the left of the track, passing through a small gap in the wall and cutting off the following U-turn.

This version of Luigi Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', as the third course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The layout is mostly identical to its original one, with a few differences. The second to last shortcut located by the end of the course has been removed. Many trees have been added to various off-road locations of the course. The blimp now only starts to take off on the second lap, and the numbers on the two hangars have been changed into 00's.

 

===Missions===

*'''Mission 4-8''': The player controls [[Luigi]], who must perform 9 [[Drift|power-slide]] [[Mini-Turbo|mini-turbos]] before completing one lap and before 60 seconds has passed.

*'''European website bio:''' "''If the non-stop rain doesn't dampen your spirits, the skid-inducing puddles certainly will. Luigi's second namesake course couldn't be more different from the first; with seven hairpin bends and a pair of chicanes that will test your power-sliding powers to the max.''"
