'''Luigi Circuit''' is the first course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] and [[All-Cup Tour]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The course shape is a distorted stadium that is pinched in the middle, with several [[Dash Panel|dash panels]] on both U-turns. Because of this, racers can see each other drive in opposite directions in the middle of the course. A [[Chain Chomp]] is located at the entrance of the first U-turn, attacking racers that drive too close to it. In every other setting than 50cc, the barrier separating both sides is removed, making most of the first and second halves of the course overlap. However, going through both U-turns is still required to complete a lap.  

This track shares the same music with [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and [[GCN Yoshi Circuit|Yoshi Circuit]]. An arrangement of it appears in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' under the title "Rollercoasting". An arrangement of the music for these courses also appears as one of the selectable songs that can be played during events in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' ([[Nintendo DS]] version), ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' ([[Wii]] version), and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.

The course returns in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the final course of the [[Shell Cup]].

 

==Course layout==

The course starts off next to what looks like a building for box seats with a garage below. Players can drive on either side of the main road leading up to the first turn, passing a [[Chain Chomp]] in the process. In the background, a [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|rank "A" mansion]] from the end of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' can be seen. After the turn, players once again enter the merged lane on their way back up to the start/finish line to start the cycle again on the next lap. A lake can be seen on the right, but no life is seen in it. After the second wide turn, the lap is completed (with [[Lakitu]] shown on the right side of the player, holding the lap count sign). The course somewhat resembles the layout of [[N64 Luigi Raceway|Luigi Raceway]] from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.

Luigi Circuit returns in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the last course of the [[Shell Cup]]. This rendition of Luigi Circuit is almost identical to the original, although the long straightaways are notably wider and the shortcuts were removed. The barrier that was seen in 50cc in the original version has been removed completely. The blimp as seen in {{classic-link|GBA|Luigi Circuit}} is also visible, but only in the demo version of the game. The background has also been reduced to a flat image instead of actual models. Like ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', Lakitu is shown holding the lap count sign, on the right side of the player. The course was playable over the game's Wi-Fi.

This course shares its introduction fanfare with [[Figure-8 Circuit]], [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]], and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]]. It is the only retro course to have this theme.

Missions 2-7 and 3-3 take place here. In the former, Toad must drive through all 10 numbered gates in order, and in the latter, Luigi must collect all 15 coins while avoiding the Chain Chomp guarding them.
