| '''Mario Circuit''' is the first course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This Mario Circuit's layout is designed after the [[wikipedia:Möbius strip|Möbius strip]] (a closed surface consisting of only one side) to make full use of the new [[anti-gravity]] mechanic of the game. It is centered around [[Peach's Castle]], which happens to be resting on floating islands, some of which also make up the course's background. Like [[Figure-8 Circuit]] and [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]], the track is shaped like the number eight. There are [[Goomba]]s and [[Goomba Tower]]s on the course that can spin out the player. The track is lush and green, surrounded by blue sky and white clouds, as well as waterfalls. There are twenty-two [[coin]]s located on this track. [[Mario Kart Stadium]]'s music is largely rearranged from this track's song, as confirmed by a liner note in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]''. In ''Mario Kart 8'', it is a selectable battle course.

| ==Course layout==
| | The ''Mario Kart 8'' incarnation of '''Mario Circuit''' appears as the first course of the [[Flower Cup]]. This Mario Circuit's layout is designed after the [[wikipedia:Möbius strip|Möbius strip]] (a closed surface consisting of only one side) to make full use of the new anti gravity aspect of the game. It is placed around Peach's Castle which happens to be on floating islands. Like [[Figure-8 Circuit]], the track is shaped like an 8. There are [[Goomba Tower]]s near the finish line that can slow down the player. This track uses both the Hang Glider from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and also the new anti-gravity wheels in ''Mario Kart 8''. The track is lush and green, surrounded by the blue sky and white clouds. [[Mario Kart Stadium]]'s theme is a cover of this track's music. |
| [[File:MK8 Mario Circuit Starting Line.png|thumb|250px|left|The course as seen from the starting line]]
| |
| Being designed after a Möbius strip, the track follows a single path that twists around near the beginning. The track remains fairly simple in terms of design. Players start on the straightaway of the Möbius strip and shortly after, there is a turn to the left. Two [[Goomba]]s slowly step side-to-side in this part of the track and cause racers who collide with them to spin out. A white bridge follows the turn and starts the anti-gravity section. The track turns to the right shortly after and starts racing underneath the finish line. After a left turn, the racers cross the white bridge again, which twists the track back to normal and after another right turn, the racers approach the finish line. A [[Glide Ramp]] and [[Goomba Tower]]s appear at the stretch to the finish. Mario's [[Standard Kart]] can be seen in the pit area, alongside [[? Block]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| The course's starting banner can be interacted with by gliding racers, causing it to swing; the other four courses to share this feature are {{classic-link|DS|Wario Stadium}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}} and {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}. It is the only one of these five courses to be a new course.
| | The track appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as a new stage. The stage has been shown to take place on several platforms that move around the stage, stopping at certain intervals around the stage similar to [[Rainbow Road (stage)|Rainbow Road]] in the 3DS version. [[Shy Guys]] can drive into the fight like in the aforementioned stage and the other [[Mario Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit stage]], however because of the anti-gravity element they can drive on other surfaces such as on the wall to the right of the players or from the background albeit upside-down. |

| ==Shortcuts==
| |
| *The player can use boost items to cut through the grass to the left of the big turn at the start.
| |
| *The right turn before the white bridge can be cut by going through the grass with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]].
| |
| *After crossing the white bridge, racers can cut through the grass behind some [[Piranha Plant]] pipes with a boost item.
| |
| *On the other side of the strip, where this stretch of the track serves as the final turn to the finish line, the racer can go through the pipes and sand by using Mushrooms or a [[Super Star|Star]].

| {{main|Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)}}
| |
| The track appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as a new stage. The stage takes place on several platforms that move around the stage, stopping at certain intervals around the stage similar to [[Rainbow Road (stage)|Rainbow Road]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|3DS version]]. [[Shy Guy]]s can drive into the fight like in the aforementioned stage and the other [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit stage]]; however, because of the anti-gravity, they can drive on other surfaces such as on the wall to the right of the players or above them. The default music is a medley of the Circuit theme and [[3DS Neo Bowser City|Neo Bowser City]]'s music from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', though the original versions of numerous songs from ''Mario Kart 8'' including Mario Circuit are also available. | |
| | |
| Mario Circuit returns as a playable stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', now with access to every ''Mario Kart'' song featured in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

| ''"This track takes the form of a kind of Möbius Strip and also suggests the number eight, to signify its place in the series. The synthesiser sound we used for the melody here was meant to give the feel of the anti-gravity effect which features in this title."''
