The '''Lightning Cup''' is a cup in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Its first appearance | The '''Lightning Cup''' (referred to as the '''Thunder Cup''' in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and in the ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' instruction manuals) is a [[cup]] in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], as well as ''Mario Power Tennis''. Its first appearance is in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', in which it is placed between the [[Flower Cup]] and [[Star Cup]], appearing as the third cup of that game. It is absent in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', but appears since ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the eighth and final cup, exclusively featuring [[classic course]]s and is the fourth and last retro cup overall. It is the only cup in the ''Mario Kart'' series to have been both a new cup and a classic cup. It mainly features courses from the [[Star Cup]] and the [[Special Cup]], though ''Mario Kart DS'' features a sole course from the ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' Lightning Cup ({{classic-link|GBA|Sky Garden}}) and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' features a sole Flower Cup course ({{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}). The length and difficulty of the courses in this cup tend to be on par with those in the [[Special Cup]]. Starting from ''Mario Kart 7'', the final course of the Lightning Cup is a [[Rainbow Road]] from a past game, akin to the Special Cup's last course being a [[New course|new]] Rainbow Road. The emblem of the cup is [[Lightning]]. In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it is the eighth cup overall; however, due to the four DLC cups (the [[Egg Cup]], the [[Triforce Cup]], the [[Crossing Cup]], and the [[Bell Cup]]) being on the right side of the eight main cups, the Bell Cup is actually the last cup overall in ''Mario Kart 8'', and as shown in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', the [[Spiny Cup]] is actually the last cup overall in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. | ||

Latest revision as of 21:01, December 18, 2024
The Lightning Cup (referred to as the Thunder Cup in Mario Power Tennis and in the Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart 7 instruction manuals) is a cup in the Mario Kart series, as well as Mario Power Tennis. Its first appearance is in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, in which it is placed between the Flower Cup and Star Cup, appearing as the third cup of that game. It is absent in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but appears since Mario Kart DS as the eighth and final cup, exclusively featuring classic courses and is the fourth and last retro cup overall. It is the only cup in the Mario Kart series to have been both a new cup and a classic cup. It mainly features courses from the Star Cup and the Special Cup, though Mario Kart DS features a sole course from the Mario Kart: Super Circuit Lightning Cup (GBA Sky Garden) and Mario Kart Wii features a sole Flower Cup course (SNES Mario Circuit 3). The length and difficulty of the courses in this cup tend to be on par with those in the Special Cup. Starting from Mario Kart 7, the final course of the Lightning Cup is a Rainbow Road from a past game, akin to the Special Cup's last course being a new Rainbow Road. The emblem of the cup is Lightning. In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it is the eighth cup overall; however, due to the four DLC cups (the Egg Cup, the Triforce Cup, the Crossing Cup, and the Bell Cup) being on the right side of the eight main cups, the Bell Cup is actually the last cup overall in Mario Kart 8, and as shown in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, the Spiny Cup is actually the last cup overall in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Trivia[edit]
- The Lightning Cup is the only cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit to not feature a Bowser's Castle course.
- Excluding cups introduced as DLC, Mario Kart 7's Lightning Cup is the only retro cup in the series not to have at least one course from Mario Kart 64, and the only Lightning Cup to feature multiple courses from the Special Cup.
- The Lightning Cup from Mario Kart: Super Circuit is one of three cups in the series to have all its courses return together in another Mario Kart game, as all of its tracks reappear in Mario Kart Tour. The other two cups are the Star Cup from Mario Kart Wii, which has all of its courses available in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a result of the Booster Course Pass, and the Mushroom Cup from Mario Kart 7, which also has all of its courses return in Tour.

Sunset Wilds debuted in 2020's Sunset Tour, Cheep-Cheep Island debuted in the 2021 Summer Tour, Sky Garden debuted in 2022's Sky Tour, and Luigi Circuit debuted in the 2023 Mario vs. Luigi Tour.
