'''Mario Circuit 4''' is the fifth and last course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. It was subsequently reused in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as the third track of the [[Extra Cup|Extra Star Cup]]. It is a tarmac circuit set in a grassland. This is the first of two Mario Circuits from the series in the Star Cup; the second is the [[DS Mario Circuit|DS version]].
'''Mario Circuit 4''' is the fifth and final course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. The longest of the Mario Circuits, it is a straightforward course of normal road, with [[Warp Pipe|Pipes]] and [[Oil Slick]]s as the only hazards. Similar to [[Mario Circuit 3]], there is a shortcut at the end of the track. The gap in the crash barrier can be used to drive right through, best done with a [[mushroom]] or a [[star]]. [[Cape Feather#Super Mario Kart|Feather]]s are disabled for this track to avoid [[jump]]ing over the crash barriers and thus saving a lot of time.


==''Super Mario Kart''==
Mario Circuit 4 reappeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and is the third track in the [[Extra Cup|Extra Star Cup]]. It uses the background from [[Peach Circuit]]. The pipe and oil slick hazards were removed from the track and an item box can be found next to the shortcut.
===Course layout===
[[File:SMK Mario Circuit 4 Screenshot.jpg|thumb|left|[[Luigi]] racing on the course.]]
The longest of the Mario Circuits, it is still a straightforward course of normal road, with [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and [[oil slick]]s as the only hazards. The overall layout is very similar to that of [[SNES Mario Circuit 3|Mario Circuit 3]], but more difficult and with left and right reversed. Additionally, [[Cape Feather#Super Mario Kart|Feather]]s are disabled for this track to prevent racers from [[jump]]ing over the walls and thus saving a lot of time. The course begins with a U-turn to the left followed by a right turn and the only set of [[? Panel]]s. There is then a sharp right turn followed by a sharp left turn, and then two 90° turns to the left. A straightaway then leads racers into a sharp U-turn to the right followed by a brief straight and a sharp U-turn to the left. After a slight right turn and a left turn, racers reach the finish line.


===Shortcuts===
==Minimaps in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''==
A notable shortcut can be found after the second left U-turn. Similar to the shortcut found in Mario Circuit 3, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or [[Super Star|Star]] to drive through the off-road to the right of the track, passing through a gap in the wall and cutting off the last right turn.
