====''Super Mario Kart''==== | |||
In ''Super Mario Kart'', four Mario Circuit racetracks appear, with a look similar to typical go-kart racetracks, aside from having some obstacles such as [[Warp Pipe]]s, located normally on the road, blocking the vehicles' path and [[oil slick]]s that cause vehicles to spin out of control while running over one. | |||
Each Mario Circuit course appears numbered in order of the time it appears: two Mario Circuits in the [[Mushroom Cup]], another in the [[Flower Cup]], and one more in the [[Star Cup]]. The first course of the Mushroom Cup, [[SNES Mario Circuit 1|Mario Circuit 1]], is the simplest and most basic track in the game, having open corners and few obstacles. In contrast to that course is [[SNES Mario Circuit 2|Mario Circuit 2]], the fifth and last course of the same cup. This stage is notable by its great jump before the finish line, where the racers need to cross the zone by getting a speed boost over [[Dash Panel]]s and jump over speed humps to reach the other side, finally passing the line. [[SNES Mario Circuit 3|Mario Circuit 3]] is the last track of the Flower Cup. This course is notable for its sharp curve in the middle of the track, and contains an area where the player must make a sharp turn, potentially getting stuck or slowing down. Finally, there's [[Mario Circuit 4]], the longest of all ''Super Mario Kart''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Mario Circuits. This track contains more sharp bends and obstacles scattered around the track. | |||
The Mario Circuit courses, along with the other tracks from ''Super Mario Kart'', reappear in the [[Game Boy Advance]] installment ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', as hidden classic race courses. However, in the recent ''Mario Kart'' games, only three of these stages reappear. ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' features Mario Circuit 1, known as <small>SNES</small> Mario Circuit 1, as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]]. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Mario Circuit 3, known as <small>SNES</small> Mario Circuit 3, appears in the [[Lightning Cup]], bearing an enhanced graphical look compared to its appearance in ''Super Mario Kart''. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Mario Circuit 2 appears as the second course of [[Banana Cup]]. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Mario Circuit 1, Mario Circuit 2, and Mario Circuit 3 appear as classic courses, introduced in the [[New York Tour]], [[Tokyo Tour]], and [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]], respectively. | |||

Since ''Super Mario Kart'', Mario Circuit has appeared as multiple iterations in the ''Mario Kart'' series: | |||

Once the paths join back up together there a few tight downhill turns and Piranha Plants until the racers reach a [[DK Cannon]] taking them back to the starting line for a second lap. | Mario Circuit appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' which is heavily based on the version in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and is used for the [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|individual]] and [[Dream Ski Cross (Team)|team]] versions Dream Ski Cross with the road now being covered entirely with snow and more ramps being carved out of the snow on the track itself.
