'''Royal Raceway''' (referred to as "'''the Royal Raceway'''" in the ''Mario Kart 64'' Player's Guide),  alternatively named '''Peach Circuit'''<ref>{{cite|date=December 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51|page=28}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=April 1997|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 49|page=40}}</ref> (which is also its Japanese name), is the third course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is the longest of the three raceways and is [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s home track of the game. The race takes place around a giant lake, and it is easy to fall into the water. There is a big jump over the lake in one section of the track. If the racer goes off the track after the jump, they can see [[Peach's Castle]], which is where the Award Ceremony takes place at the end of each cup. It reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]], as well as in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Peach Tour]].

Royal Raceway shares its music with [[N64 Luigi Raceway|Luigi Raceway]], [[N64 Mario Raceway|Mario Raceway]], and [[Wario Stadium]]. In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it is enhanced with live recorded instruments and given a slight jazz-funk feel.

Royal Raceway reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Peach Tour]]. Like [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]], [[N64 Yoshi Valley]], and [[GCN Baby Park]], it mostly takes on the appearance of its ''Mario Kart 8'' iteration with elements of [[3DS Mario Circuit]] like the hills in the background, and the castle's design being based on the ''Mario Kart Tour'' iteration. The hot-air balloons are no longer princess-themed, instead taking their design from the ones seen in this game's iteration of [[3DS Daisy Hills]]. The starting line banner now uses an opaque ''Mario Kart'' logo. It is also the first classic course in the game that has not appeared in any handheld ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' installment. Royal Raceway uses the ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' source quality version of the ''Mario Kart 64'' raceway/circuit music, used in [[N64 Luigi Raceway]].<ref>{{cite|url=docs.google.com/document/d/1YmgFibm99C2r7q-OzXrufNHQgXQBYli3V0M7APTQ4OQ/edit#heading=h.yx3o1ihvn54t|title=Kenta Nagata Discography|publisher=Google Docs|language=en-us|accessdate=July 5, 2024}}</ref> Royal Raceway is the first and only course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to appear in Coin Rush in four tours, being the Peach Tour, the 2021 Yoshi Tour, the [[Space Tour (2021)|2021 Space Tour]], and the [[Princess Tour]], unless the beta test is counted, where [[SNES Rainbow Road]] also appears in four tours.

Without guardrails along the lake, it can be very easy to overshoot the corner and fall in!''<ref>{{cite|date=1998|title=Mario Kart 64 instruction booklet|publisher=[[Nintendo]]|page=31}}</ref>}}
