It is [[Luigi]]'s home track of the game and shares its music with [[N64 Mario Raceway|Mario Raceway]], [[Wario Stadium]] and [[N64 Royal Raceway|Royal Raceway]]. This song received an arrangement for the [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', which returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' under the name "Figure-8 Circuit". In the latter game, the song is able to be played on any ''Mario Kart'' stage as well as on [[Battlefield]], Big Battlefield, Small Battlefield, and [[Final Destination]] as of the version 8.1.0 update. The course is reminiscent of various NASCAR-style speedway tracks with large, broad corners allowing for high-speed racing. | ||
Luigi Raceway reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]]. | Luigi Raceway reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]]. | ||

The course begins near a grand stand full of cheering audience, atop which is a large model of the [[Luigi Cap]]. | This course features no hazards, save for small rough terrain areas that are located all over the track. The course is long and simple, featuring open turns through which the player may employ [[drift|powersliding]] to [[Mini-Turbo|accelerate faster]]. The race begins near a grand stand full of cheering audience, atop which is a large model of the [[Luigi Cap]]. Following a long straightway and a wide banked turn to the left is a long road to a long overhang, followed by another long curve to the left and a short straightway leading back to the starting line, which happens to be part of the longest straightway in the course. During the race, a balloon depicting Luigi's head dips onto the course at the end of the first straightway, hanging an [[Item Box]] beneath. The item is always a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] and may be obtained if a racer [[Hop (move)|hop]]s at the right time just as the balloon reaches its lowest point of descent. The course does not have any notable shortcut, but it is possible to save few seconds by cutting across the grass and sand on the turns while using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star|Star]]. | ||

It is mostly unchanged, except the hot air balloon has been moved and a Mii character is inside the basket, and the item box hanging below it that always gave out a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] has been replaced with a regular item box. An alternate way has also been added on the platforms next to the curves that were inaccessible in ''Mario Kart 64'', and it has [[Dash Panel]]s on them.

Luigi Raceway also reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]]. Prior to the course's introduction, two badges were released featuring the name of the track. The [[Luigi Parafoil]] reuses one of the badges' logos, which also later appears on the blimp in [[GBA Luigi Circuit]].

The | The course’s background now features hills similar to the ones seen in [[3DS Mario Circuit]] and [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain]]. The markings now split the road in two lanes instead of three, and curbs line the corners. The platforms next to the curves are now striped, and the second had its color changed to yellow. The hill where the tunnel passes is higher. The grandstand was slightly redesigned. Much like [[N64 Koopa Troopa Beach]], the starting banner uses the updated version of the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo, but remains unchanged from its original design, unlike a majority of the other ''Mario Kart 64'' tracks. Like [[N64 Royal Raceway]], the course uses the source quality version of the original N64 music track that was previously used in ''Mario Kart 7'' in this game,<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YmgFibm99C2r7q-OzXrufNHQgXQBYli3V0M7APTQ4OQ/edit#heading=h.yx3o1ihvn54t</ref> being the first non-numbered course since the introduction of [[3DS Mario Circuit]] in the [[Tokyo Tour]] seventy-six tours prior to share its music with another track. Luigi Raceway has the longest gap between the first and second appearance of any classic course in the game, not having reappeared for twelve tours until the [[Doctor Tour (2023)|2023 Doctor Tour]]. | ||
The course also appears as '''Luigi Raceway R''' (reversed), '''Luigi Raceway T''' (with ramps), and '''Luigi Raceway R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The R and T variants debuted alongside the normal variant in the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]], while the R/T variant debuted in the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]]. | |||
The course is a favorite of [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]], [[Roving Racers|Koopa (Freerunning)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Vacation)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Golf)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Volendam)]], [[Cat Mario]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Chef)]], [[Toadette|Toadette (Sailor)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Knight)]], and the [[Mii|Goomba Mii Racing Suit]]. | |||
