'''Daisy Circuit''' is the first course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is a tarmac road that drives through a seaside resort. The course travels across a seaside town with a sunset background on a shore. It follows [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]'s appearance, with various flower motifs found throughout the level. There is also a docking area with a lighthouse and cruise ships (including [[GCN Daisy Cruiser|Daisy Cruiser]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''). Small baroque-style buildings can be seen from the background. In the figure-8 portion of the track, there are two circular fountains. On the top of the first fountain is a large golden statue of Daisy and [[Luigi]] dancing. The other statue shows [[Baby Luigi]] swinging [[Baby Daisy]].

Despite it being a circuit course, Daisy Circuit does not use the main circuit theme of the game (the music played in [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]] and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]]). Instead, it has its own unique theme to fit its seaside setting and character, which has some parts of the main circuit theme arranged. It is one of two character circuit courses in the series to have its own theme, the other being [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. An arrangement of its theme appears as one of the selectable songs in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.

Daisy Circuit reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Princess Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' as the third course of the [[Acorn Cup]].

The course takes place in a small town near the ocean at sunset, and the [[Daisy Cruiser]] can be seen in the background, but with a gray exhaust pipe instead of an original one. It begins with a very slight left turn followed by the first set of [[Item Box]]es. Racers then enter a town where [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Pianta]]s, [[Boo]]s and [[Sledge Bro]]s. line the streets. Here there is a gradual U-turn to the right; the road constantly zigzags along this turn and features [[traffic cone]]s. There is then a figure-8 shaped section where two large circular fountains occupy the middle of the track and racers must go left or right around both. A statue is on top of each fountain; one is of Daisy and [[Luigi]], and the other is of [[Baby Luigi]] and [[Baby Daisy]]. When the player is playing as a [[Mii]], the heads of the fountains will be replaced by [[Mii]] heads. Daisy and Baby Daisy are replaced by female Mii heads, while Luigi and Baby Luigi are changed to male Mii heads. On either side of the second fountain is another set of Item Boxes.

Racers then enter a tunnel with a low ceiling and more traffic cones, along with Miis which cheer for racers. They take a right turn and then serpentine as they take a slight left turn and exit the tunnel. Here the track greatly narrows and there is a brief straightaway until racers reach a lighthouse; there is first a slight left followed by a sharp U-turn to the right around the lighthouse and then another slight left. On the inside of this turn is more traffic cones and the start of the turn contains the last item set. Additionally, racers have the option to drive onto an elevated sidewalk on the outside of the U-turn, with a lone Item Box at both ends of the sidewalk. Afterwards, the track greatly narrows again, though there is another elevated sidewalk to the left of it, and racers take another brief straightaway. There is then a gradual left turn and racers reach the finish line. The aforementioned sidewalk to the left of the track also continues past the finish line until the U-turn at the beginning of the track.

Daisy Circuit is one of only two Wii tracks to not feature any moving course parts, the other being [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]]. It is also the only Wii track to not feature any hazards that make racers spin out or flip over.

The only notable shortcut can be found along the U-turn at the beginning of the track. Instead of driving to the left of a pink building, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to drive up a narrow staircase through the building. The staircase itself is off-road but has two [[Dash Panel|dash panels]], a ramp, and an Item Box at the end. After going off the ramp, the player will land to the right of the first fountain.

[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#October 2009 Tournament 2|October 2009's second tournament]] required players to pass through 22 gates on Daisy Circuit. Players first go up the staircase with the help of a ground Mushroom, then spend the remainder of the mission driving in a figure-8 shape around the two fountains. This is the only gate tournament to take place on a race track without following its intended route. The tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of August 2011, the second tournament of October 2012, and the first tournament of January 2014.

Daisy Circuit reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Princess Tour]]. The starting line is now blue, and the logo is now the modern ''Mario Kart '' series one, with the colors across the logo no longer being a gradient; purple has been added to the color scheme as well. The road now has a blue tint. The streetlamps have been rotated 90° counterclockwise. The fountains are now one big fountain rather than multiple small fountains in a circle. The road in this section is now patterned instead of being a simple tarmac road, and most of the course's spectators have been removed. The statues have been redesigned slightly, with Daisy and Luigi's statues now lacking mouths, Daisy's statue lacking eyelashes, and Baby Daisy's statue now having its eyes open. The statues are also more golden. The lighthouse appears to be turned off now. The Daisy Candy billboard uses a 2D artwork of Daisy instead of 3D artwork. The traffic cones have been removed solely from the opening section of the course, and a [[wooden cutout]] has been added before the shortcut; as a result, the shortcut is no longer offroad. The minimap now reflects the various elevated sections of the course, and said sections can be reached from normal elevation if the racer steers into them enough. It also now includes the pavement bordering the main road in the town section.

The course also appears as '''Daisy Circuit R''' (reversed), '''Daisy Circuit T''' (with ramps), and '''Daisy Circuit R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] on each side of the first fountain, and tricks can be performed off of the Luigi and Daisy fountain. In the T variant, there are four [[Rocky Wrench]]es in the first section of the course.
