'''Mute City''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Egg Cup]] included with [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and in the base content of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This course is based on the ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero (series)|F-Zero]]'' series. [[Coin]]s are not present naturally on this course, and can only be obtained by driving over the [[Pit (F-Zero)|Pit]] areas, [[Item Box]]es, or picking up the coins dropped by other players.

==Course layout==
[[File:MK8-DLC-Course-MuteCity.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A view of the cityscape surroundings.]]
The track takes place entirely in [[anti-gravity]]. Signs and buildings throughout the course depict and reference various ''F-Zero'' racers, including [[fzerowiki:Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon]], [[fzerowiki:Samurai Goroh|Samurai Goroh]], [[fzerowiki:Dr. Stewart|Dr. Stewart]], [[fzerowiki:Pico|Pico]], [[fzerowiki:Jody Summer|Jody Summer]], and [[fzerowiki:Mr. EAD|Mr. EAD]]. Right off the start, several boost pads and [[fzerowiki:Pit|Pit]] areas (which gives them a maximum of ten coins) can be found. Some of the boost pads randomize each time the course is played. After a U-turn, the track begins to corkscrew before a large jump. Afterward, the track continues on a cylindrical route that continues to twist before another jump leads into an opening in a building. Here, two more Pit areas can be found before the race continues outside. After a few turns, the track becomes a downhill drive past a [[Rocket]] and a few signs depicting [[Captain Falcon]] before it arrives at the finish line.

In the second and third lap, a Dash Panel will activate along the finish line. This is a reference to the Boost Power from the ''F-Zero'' series, which is activated after completing a lap. A desert can also be seen on the outskirts of the city, possibly a reference to the [[fzerowiki:Sand Ocean|Sand Ocean]] course from the ''F-Zero'' series.

==Shortcuts==
*There is an offroad section inside the U-turn after the exit of the building, that one can cut off if a mushroom boost or star is used.
*The turn before the downhill section can be cut off by boosting through offroad leading to a ramp, which then leads to another platform that one can use to get to the main path.
*One can use a star or mushroom to boost through two offroad patches before going off the final jump to the finish line.

==''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'' liner notes==
''"The combination of Mario Kart and Mute City is a real recipe for speed, and we wanted your hair to be standing on end with the sense of acceleration. For this, we got the sax and guitar to have an all-out soloing duel."''

==Notes==
{{NIWA|FZeroWiki=1}}
*Instead of using the normal starting line countdown and results theme, this course uses the equivalents from the original ''F-Zero''; this is the first track in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series to do this along with [[Big Blue]]. The starting line countdown theme only happens during [[Grand Prix]] and VS. races, however.
*Some of the signs across the track show [[Captain Falcon]]'s art from ''F-Zero X'' alongside the text "SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!", a reference to his taunt in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
*The Dash Panels on this course look identical to those that appear in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' - the only difference being that they are animated, instead of flashing.
*Mute City's final lap music uses a different, shorter intro from the normal version. This distinction is shared with [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', [[Toad Harbor]], {{classic link|3DS|DK Jungle}}, {{classic link|GBA|Ribbon Road}}, and {{classic link|SNES|Bowser Castle 3}}.
