'''Mario Circuit''' is the second race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and is [[Mario]]'s home track of the game. This version of the course features many of the typical elements of a [[Mario Circuit]], such as [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s and giant mushrooms, visually similar to [[World 1]] in various games from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. It also introduces the new element of [[Peach's Castle]] around which the course takes place, an element that appears in all later Mario Circuits, and also features [[Goomba]]s, Piranha Plants, and a [[Chain Chomp]] as obstacles. This course appears at the end of the credits in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' after completing the [[Special Cup]] or [[All-Cup Tour]] of the game. In [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]], Peach's Castle from this track can be seen in the background. This Mario Circuit was originally going to reappear as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' but was removed from the final version of the game, later reappearing as the fourth and final course of the [[Leaf Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

The starting line for the course is situated alongside [[Peach's Castle]], from which the player drives straight for a short distance to a left turn where a sign reading "MARIO" can be seen, followed by a hairpin bend towards the right. This is followed by a long and gentle left turn around a patch of grass with a [[Chain Chomp]], which will occasionally come out and attack the player, who will spin out if hit. This is followed by a gentle S-curve within a tunnel, followed by a straight level bridge. This then leads to another short stretch of straight road with a pair of [[Piranha Plant]]s on each side, which attempt to bite the player and cause them to flip over if caught. The player must then drive around a left hairpin bend and a right turn, where they approach a bumpy section of road with [[Goomba]]s, which follows another gentle S-curve shape. After another left turn the player then jumps over an arched bridge towards the finish line, where there is another Piranha Plant on each side of the road.
