'''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.

 

Not counting ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', this is one of only six classic courses in the series to share its music with another classic course in the same game, sharing its music with {{classic-link|GBA|Peach Circuit}}. The other four are {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}} in the same game, and {{classic-link|DS|Wario Stadium}} and {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Luigi Circuit:

*'''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.

This version of Luigi Circuit returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2023)|2023 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]]. The course has been significantly changed visually, with a forest now surrounding the track, breaks in the clouds, and the mountains being far taller and capped with snow. The layout has been simplified somewhat, with numerous bends from the original being straightened out and the serpentine portion being less dramatic. The sheds in the background have been redesigned, and seem closer to the course; some flagpoles and power lines also appear. The mud around the edges of the road has been removed. Unlike most GBA remakes in Tour, the course remains flat much like the original, though some elevation has been added to the end of the course, including two ramps. The blimp now bears the design of the [[Luigi Parafoil]], still reading "[[N64 Luigi Raceway|Luigi Raceway]]", and now flies over the track throughout the race. The width of the road appears to be somewhat thinner. A starting line banner has been added, featuring the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo with a satellite dish on the right metal pole on it. Like [[GBA Yoshi Desert]], the colored blocks follow the pattern of the SNES courses instead of the GBA ones in ''Tour''.
