The '''Special Cup''' is the final cup in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash]]'', as well as the last of the Nitro cups since ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' is it the last of the "standard" courses with the Extra cups being unlocked after and ''Extra Special Cup'' being the final cup. In ''Super Mario Kart'', the player may unlock it by winning all three cups in 100cc (though it will be unavailable for the 50cc class); in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' it is available by winning the four previous cups, each by class; in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', it appears after the player finished first in the [[Star Cup]] in 100cc; from ''Mario Kart DS'' onwards, it is unlocked once the player claims a gold trophy in the [[Star Cup]]. Special Cup consists of long, difficult courses. It normally has a [[Bowser's Castle (course)|Bowser's Castle]] course in all games except the first two games and always ends with [[Rainbow Road]]. Bowser's Castle is the penultimate course before Rainbow Road. The emblem of the Special Cup is currently a crown (seen to the right), although in ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart Super Circuit'' it is represented by the letter "S", the initial of "special." In ''Super Mario Kart'' it is a combination of the three emblems used for the [[Mushroom Cup]], [[Flower Cup]], and [[Star Cup]].
<br clear=all>


The '''Special Cup''' is a [[cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series that exclusively features [[new course]]s. It is the fourth and final cup in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and the last nitro cup since ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', it is the fifth and last of the standard cups, with the [[Classic course|Extra Cup]]s being unlocked after its completion and the Extra Special Cup being the final cup. The Special Cup's courses tend to be the longest and most difficult in the game, and always finish with a [[Rainbow Road]]; starting in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series|Bowser's Castle]] is always the penultimate course before Rainbow Road (except in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'').

Aside from ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' where the cup is available from the start, the criteria to unlock the Special Cup varies by game, although the [[Star Cup]] always must be completed successfully. In ''Super Mario Kart'', the player may unlock it by winning each of the other three cups in 100cc (though it will be unavailable for the 50cc class); in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', it is unlocked by winning the four previous cups, each by class; in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', it is unlocked after the player finishes first in the Star Cup in 100cc; from ''Mario Kart DS'' onwards, it is unlocked once the player claims a trophy in the Star Cup.
 
The Special Cup's emblem is a smiling golden crown, which was first used in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and standardized as the cup's emblem since. Originally the Special Cup's emblem was a stylized "S", which was first used in ''Mario Kart 64'' where it appears as a red "S" in a teal diamond, and carried over into ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' as a sparkling green "S" (although the instruction booklet uses the design from ''64''). In ''Super Mario Kart'' the Special Cup lacks a unique emblem entirely, and instead features a [[Super Mushroom]], a [[Fire Flower]], and a [[Super Star]], combining the emblems of the [[Mushroom Cup]], [[Flower Cup]], and Star Cup respectively.
