'''Mount Wario''' is the fourth and final race track in the [[Star Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. This course takes place on a huge mountain owned by [[Wario]], where players must drive from the top to the bottom (similar to [[DK Summit]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and [[DK Mountain]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''). This is the only nitro course in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' to be divided into three sections instead of three laps.

The course is a three section race down a snowy mountain, split between three sections (like [[Wuhu Loop]], [[Maka Wuhu]], and [[Rainbow Road (3DS)|Rainbow Road]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', the remake of [[Rainbow Road (N64)|Rainbow Road]] from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', and [[Big Blue (race course)|Big Blue]] in ''Mario Kart 8''). It starts off in a large helicopter placed at the top of the mountain, with the racers driving out of it before landing onto the path. After a few downhill turns, the second portion of the track enters a cave, where [[Swooper]]s can be seen. There two anti-gravity sections ending with a hang-glider segment. Two flat rocks with boost pads are placed just after, before a boost ramp leads the racers into the Wario Dam area. After two 90° turns, there is another anti-gravity section with racers driving along the side of the dam, with boost pads going down streams (like in [[Shy Guy Falls]]).

After that, racers soon enter a snowy forest, that splits into two paths to start off. These two paths meet up to an area with rocks sticking out of the snow, which can provide a boost via tricks. Soon enough, racers enter the third section, which starts going down a skiing area with cheering [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Shy Guy]]s along with a Jumbotron. After a few turns, racers enter the final anti-gravity section, which goes down a ski jumping ramp with boost pads placed on various parts of the ramp. The section ends with a hang-glider section, where three boost rings are placed to help racers out. After two more turns, the race ends in an area next to a large log cabin, where the finish line awaits them.

*In the forest, one can cut in between the two paths to a hidden glider ramp by using a [[Mushroom]].

*One can cut off the last turn by boosting through the snow in the corner.

*This is the second track in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] that does not end at the same place in which the race started, along with [[Maka Wuhu]] and [[Big Blue (race course)|Big Blue]], which is the third track that has that feature. Unlike Maka Wuhu, however, Mount Wario, along with [[Big Blue (race course)|Big Blue]], in the ''Mario Kart'' series is not a looped race course.

**The second section of the course is the only section that has two separate soundtracks. In that section, when the player enters the forest area, the new soundtrack plays.

*This is one of five courses to have an animation during the countdown, this being the helicopter door opening, the others being [[Excitebike Arena]], [[Electrodrome]], [[Bowser's Castle (Wii U)|Bowser's Castle]], and [[Twisted Mansion]].

*This is the first Wario-themed course to not have [[Wario]] as the staff ghost (the staff ghost for this course is [[Waluigi]]).

*The track's French name is Descente Givrée (meaning Frosted Downhill), thus not mentioning [[Wario]]. This means there is no [[Nitro Course]] with Wario's name in it in the French version.

*Along with [[Mario Kart 7|<small>3DS</small>]] [[Rainbow Road (3DS)|Rainbow Road]], Mount Wario is one of the longest courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series.
