'''Yoshi Circuit''' (also called '''Yoshi's Circuit'''<ref>{{cite|quote=Egg Cup, where players can zoom along the GCN '''Yoshi’s Circuit''' track—which is actually shaped like Yoshi himself!|title=Option in a ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' opinion poll|url=play.nintendo.com/activities/opinion-polls/mario-kart-8-deluxe-favorite-cup-poll|publisher=[[Play Nintendo]]|language=en-us|accessdate=May 16, 2020}}</ref>) is the third course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The course is unique in that it is shaped like [[Yoshi]] himself, making it the only course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series to be shaped after a playable character. There are many turns in this course, including a particularly sharp hairpin turn located at Yoshi's "tail". There are also many [[Piranha Plant]]s at the sides of the road, nipping at racers who get too close. Near the end of the course, the [[Daisy Cruiser]] can be seen in the background.

Yoshi Circuit shares its music with [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] and [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario 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]]''. 

Yoshi Circuit reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Lightning Cup]], in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' (as part of the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC) and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Egg Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[New York Tour]].

Gameplay of Yoshi Circuit was used to tease ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' during the [[Nintendo Switch]] reveal trailer. 

==''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''==
===Course layout===
[[File:YoshiCircuit1-GP-MKDD.png|thumb|left|DK and Diddy Kong at the start of the race]]
The race first starts at the straight road under Yoshi's "shoe." As the racer progresses for a little bit, the player will make a slow curve to the right. Piranha Plants are present on the grass on the right of the course, and to the left, there is water that will stop the player in their tracks if fallen off. Past the curve is a short straight road and a turn left. After the turn left is another straight road and soon, another curve to the right, which would be going around Yoshi's "hands". After the "hand" curve is a straight road, and another turn to the left that leads to an overhang, which starts a large curve around Yoshi's "nose".

Inside the curve in Yoshi's "nose", the player is protected by walls to the right to prevent them from falling into the water. Past the long curve to the right in Yoshi's "nose" is a sign that the player will see to turn left, obviously initiating for the player to turn left. The player will then make a shorter curve to the right around Yoshi's "eyes". Past Yoshi's "eyes" are his "spines", which are small and short curves around circular flower beds which won't pose the player much of a problem if the player correctly drives straight.

Past the orange flowers is a Piranha Plant, and past that Piranha Plant is a slight downhill change of terrain and a U-turn to the left. Past the U-turn is a small incline and a straight road, as one is progressing the "tail." On the tip of the "tail" is a U-turn to the right and a straight road. The straight road leads to a turn to the left and three Piranha Plants. Past the Piranha Plants is a turn to the right and a straight road, indicating that the finish line is just in front of the player and starting the cycle of the course again, but on lap two.

===Shortcuts===
There are three shortcuts. After the first left turn, if a player gets a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] from an [[Item Box]], they can use the Mushroom to [[jump]] over the moat, not having to maneuver around Yoshi's "hand". It is also possible to do this without a mushroom, instead using a well-placed powerslide. In the DS version, however, the shortcut can be done with a well placed jump over the moat if the player is using a high acceleration kart.
 
The second shortcut comes right after the tunnel, and it requires the player to use another Mushroom to propel themselves from the course into a tunnel, which emerges into a straightway. There are also [[Double Item Box]]es in the tunnel. This second shortcut is removed in every following version.

A third, minor shortcut can be performed by boosting behind the Piranha Plants through the grass before the finish line.

==''Mario Kart DS''==
[[File:MKDS Yoshi Circuit GCN Intro.png|thumb|right|The intro for {{classic|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}} in ''Mario Kart DS'']]
Yoshi Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the fourth and last race of the [[Lightning Cup]], as well as the thirty-second and last race of the game overall. Some edits have been made to the course for its reappearance in that game. One of the most significant changes is that the Piranha Plants are no longer in [[Warp Pipe]]s and bite at racers that drive too close, instead being the small, constantly-biting variation that is seen throughout other courses. Another somewhat significant change is that the number of "spines" on the back of Yoshi's "head" have been reduced from three to two. The tunnel shortcut was also removed. Some minor graphical changes that do not impact gameplay include Yoshi's "fingers" not being there, the windows in the tunnel being larger, Yoshi's "cheek" being made of sand instead of water, the helicopter not being present, and the banners near the finish line being removed. The course was available in Wi-Fi.

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|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}. The other four are {{classic-link|GBA|Peach Circuit}} and {{classic-link|GBA|Luigi Circuit}} in the same game, and {{classic-link|DS|Wario Stadium}} and {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

===Missions===
There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Yoshi Circuit:
*'''Mission 6-6''': The player controls [[Yoshi]], who must perform 14 [[Drift|power-slide]] [[Mini-Turbo|mini-turbos]] before completing one lap and before 60 seconds has passed.

===Glitches===
The player must advance until the fence that prevents him from jumping into the water ends, then turn 90 degrees to the left and use a mushroom while falling into the water (near the fence). If done correctly, Lakitu will position the player before the goal, and if backtracked, Lakitu will disappear. However, when the player reaches roughly the area of the map that is shaped like Yoshi's nose, Lakitu will appear again. Lakitu may warn the player that they are going backwards even though the player is going down the normal path.{{ref needed}}

==''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
[[File:MK8 GCN Yoshi Circuit Starting Line.png|thumb|left|250px|The course as seen from the starting line]]
Yoshi Circuit returns for the second time as a classic course included with [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and as part of the core game in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as the first course of the [[Egg Cup]] (and in turn the first course of ''Mario Kart 8''{{'}}s DLC overall). Many changes have been made in this version of the course. The "shoe" is now a small town near the starting line, with a dock, several small islands and sailboats nearby. The course banner now resembles an archway connected by two street lights, with two sets of flower bouquets on both sides and an ornament of a Gold Yoshi posing on top of a silver and gold [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]. Additionally, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s appear as spectators waving and jumping. A lighthouse appears in the background near the "tail". Some trees appear to have some [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|fruit]]s hanging from them.

The ''Mario Kart'' logo on the starting banner is red and uses the modern design instead of the classic one used for most of the classic courses from games before ''Mario Kart DS''. {{classic-link|GBA|Cheese Land}}, {{classic-link|GBA|Ribbon Road}} and {{classic-link|GCN|DK Mountain}} also use this design.

The Piranha Plants before and after the starting line have been removed and replaced by tires similar to the ones on {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}, while the ones in the "spines" have been re-positioned. The flower patches in the "spines" are no longer blocked off and can be cut through for a shortcut. The Yoshi Helicopter has been replaced by a green [[Mario Kart TV]] helicopter, from the view above the course. The second shortcut has been removed entirely similar to the DS version; this time, the path is entirely blocked with guard rails. The first shortcut now has a waterfall which players must drive through. Players can now perform tricks off the grass ramp at the first shortcut if they are fast enough. The "saddle" now acts as a place to shade spectators. Also, a sign saying "'''Yoshi Tunnel'''" can be seen on both ends of the tunnel around the "nose". The course is more straight, and the dips and inclines at the "spines" and the "saddle" have changed. Red Yoshi on the [[B Dasher]] kart with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires and the [[Super Glider]] is the Staff Ghost for this course. [[Shy Guy|Light-blue Shy Guy]], using the [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]] with [[Slick]] tires and [[Parachute (glider)|Parachute]] glider, is the 200cc staff ghost for this course.

The new, live-recorded background music was rearranged with new instruments including guitar, saxophones, and drums.

It is one of only two courses that does not have any Dash Panels, Glide Ramps, underwater sections, or anti-gravity sections, with the other being {{classic-link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}. Coincidentally, both of these courses are part of DLC Pack 1. Also, it is one of only two races in ''Mario Kart 8'' that has appeared more than once as a classic course at time of release and does not originate from ''Super Mario Kart'', the other being {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}. Coincidentally, both originate from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and returned in ''Mario Kart DS''.

The map of the course is seen on its icon, making it one of five courses in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to feature its own map within itself, alongside [[Mario Kart Stadium]], [[Water Park]], [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]], and [[Merry Mountain]].
{{br}}
==''Shortcuts''==
Players can use a Mushroom to boost through a waterfall just before the tunnel.
Players can also use mushrooms to boost behind the Piranha Plants on the spine.

==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[File:MKT Yoshi Circuit Scene.jpg|thumb|right|{{classic|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}} as it appears in ''Mario Kart Tour''.]]
Yoshi Circuit reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]]. It mostly takes on the appearance of its ''Mario Kart 8'' iteration (the same applies to [[N64 Royal Raceway]], [[N64 Yoshi Valley]], and [[GCN Baby Park]]). This is likely due to its lack of anti-gravity sections on the course in ''Mario Kart 8''. The ''Mario Kart'' logo on the starting banner has been reverted to its classic one. Most trees have been removed, and the jump near the start of the course is obscured by [[wooden cutout]]s of Piranha Plants rather than a waterfall. Otherwise, the track changes little from its appearance in ''Mario Kart 8''. Despite using its ''Mario Kart 8'' appearance, this course uses the original version of its music from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. 

The course also appears as '''Yoshi Circuit R''' (reversed), '''Yoshi Circuit T''' (with ramps), and '''Yoshi Circuit R/T''' (reversed with ramps). While the former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the New York Tour, the latter debuted in the [[London Tour]]. In the R variant, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] in the grass at the beginning of the Piranha Plant section. In the T variant, there is a glide ramp near the same spot but racers are far above the ground when they reach it. In the R/T variant, racers go across the middle of the island using [[Kanaami Road]] on two occasions. As a result, it is the first course variant in the game where a large portion of the course is traversed in the "wrong direction".

===''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''===
*'''North American website bio:''' "''Yoshi Circuit is a spine-tingling, mind-bending course filled with dangerous curves and high ocean cliffs. This track is not for the feint of heart.''"
*'''European website bio:''' "''A circuit in the shape of the cute green dinosaur. See if you can spot Helicopter Yoshi from Yoshi’s Island in a guest appearance.''"

===''Mario Kart DS''===
*'''European website bio:''' "''You wouldn't know it unless you looked at the track from above, but Yoshi Circuit is shaped like the lovable green dino himself. Tight turns, tunnels and treacherous waters about in one of the toughest courses of the tournament. But by now, you're ready for that, right?''"

===''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'' liner notes===
''"For this track, in order to fully bring out Yoshi's whimsical nature, we swapped the brass part used in the original track with a saxophone ensemble. We also rerecorded that characteristic choppy guitar sound live. We left the whistling part untouched, though!"''
