Editing Leaf Cup

The '''Leaf Cup''' is a [[cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, introduced in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the seventh cup in that game. It exclusively features [[classic course]]s, and is the third retro cup overall. The Leaf Cup usually contains courses from the [[Flower Cup]] and [[Star Cup]] of previous games, with some occasional [[Special Cup]] courses, though it features a sole course from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''{{'}}s [[Lightning Cup]] in ''Mario Kart DS'' ({{classic-link|GBA|Luigi Circuit}}), and a sole [[Mushroom Cup]] course from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' ({{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}). The Leaf Cup is slightly more difficult when compared to the [[Banana Cup]], akin to the [[Star Cup]]. The cup's emblem is a [[Super Leaf]], though its design was changed starting with ''Mario Kart 7'' to match its redesign from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.
