'''Mario Kart Stadium''' is the first race track in the [[Mushroom Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. This course takes place in a big stadium full with advertisements and banners of the players with [[fireworks]] in the background. This is the first course to be named after the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] itself. This course also makes ''Mario Kart 8'' the only game in the series (excluding the arcade games and ''Mario Kart 64'') where the first course in the game is not named a "Circuit", despite the overall design is still a circuit-type track. Part of this course's music is reused for the theme of [[Mario Circuit (Wii U)|Mario Circuit]].

The course begins with a short straightaway followed by a right turn. The track then turns right with three colored paths that stay together: an inner blue path, a yellow path in the center that says "Mushroom Cup" on it, and an outer red path with [[Boost Pads]] and coins. The track then approaches the anti-gravity part followed by a left turn. Next, the course goes up and down a raised hairpin turn, followed by a gliding area, and one more left turn to the finish line.

===Shortcuts===

*Just before the path splits in three, the player can use a boosting item to make a sharp turn between the pipes

*After the first split path anti-gravity section, there is a dirt section that the player can boost through.

*Near the end of the course, just after the gliding ramp, a boost can be used across the sand to bypass the final turn. It is easy to notice the shortcut because there are pipes in the sand.
