'''Mario Circuit''' is the second race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. For this installment, the circuit surrounds the [[Princess Peach's Castle|Castle]] of Princess Peach, while in the background some warp Pipes, tall toadstools, smiling trees, and a Mushroom-shaped hot-air balloon midair can be seen, overviewing the track. A giant [[Chain Chomp]] guards a piece of rough terrain, ramming into any vehicle who passes near to it. Also, some Piranha Plants appear, attacking the [[kart]]s and [[bikes]] that pass too close to them, causing the racers to roll over and drop their items onto the road. However, they are vulnerable to being hit by some items, such as [[Green Shell]]s, which leave them stunned for a while. Another obstacle are the [[Goomba]]s crossing the track back and forth, before the finish line. Making contact with one causes the kart to spin around. By using certain items against these enemies, a Mushroom pops out of them. The track also appeared at the end of the credits where everyone gets to celebrate after a tournament.


'''Mario Circuit''' is the second race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is [[Mario]]'s home track of the game. This version of the course features many of the typical elements of a [[Mario Circuit]], such as [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s and giant mushrooms, visually similar to [[World 1]] in various games from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. It also introduces the new element of [[Peach's Castle]] around which the course takes place, an element that appears in all later Mario Circuits, and also features [[Goomba]]s, Piranha Plants, and a [[Chain Chomp]] as obstacles. This course appears at the end of the credits in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' after completing the [[Special Cup]] or [[All-Cup Tour]]. In [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]], Peach's Castle from this track can be seen in the background. This Mario Circuit was originally going to reappear as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' but was removed from the final version of the game, later reappearing as the fourth and final course of the [[Leaf Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.


==Appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''==
Mario Circuit shares its music with [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] and [[GCN Yoshi Circuit|Yoshi Circuit]]. An arrangement of it appears in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' under the title "Rollercoasting". An arrangement of the music for these courses also appears as one of the selectable songs that can be played during events in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' ([[Nintendo DS]] version), ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' ([[Wii]] version), and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.
The course contains many curves and corners. Employing [[Drift|drifting]] is the main hint given to clear this circuit. After the first turn and another tight turn, the racers will encounter the Chain Chomp wandering the zone, biting the trespassers. Players then enter a curved tunnel, crossing a bridge upon leaving it and discovering a soil road. After getting into another corner, racers face Goombas crossing an uneven road, giving the racer certain difficulty to maneuver well. After crossing another bridge (where two Piranha Plants await racers to attack indiscriminately), the racers reach the finish line and the lap is completed.  


==Appearance in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''==
==''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''==
This Mario Circuit version was going to appear in ''Mario Kart DS''. A version of this track with all enemies removed and the bumpy road section flat exists in the Demo Version (where it can be played textured by default) and the Final Version (where one must copy the textures from the model file to a texture file to play textures) of that game's data. However, the track was taken out before the game's release (most likely to avoid using all of the character-themed circuits from the same game). The race course officially reappears in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as the fourth track of the [[Leaf Cup]], the exact same as it was slated to be in ''Mario Kart DS''.
===Course layout===
[[File:MKDD_MarioCircuit.png|thumb|140px|Bird's eye view of Mario Circuit in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'']]
The starting line for the course is situated alongside [[Peach's Castle]], from which the player drives straight for a short distance to a left turn where a sign reading "MARIO" can be seen, followed by a hairpin bend towards the right. This is followed by a long and gentle left turn around a patch of grass with a [[Chain Chomp]], which will occasionally come out and attack the player, who will spin out if hit. This is followed by a gentle S-curve within a tunnel, followed by a straight level bridge. This then leads to another short stretch of straight road with a pair of [[Piranha Plant]]s on each side, which attempt to bite the player and cause them to flip over if caught. The player must then drive around a left hairpin bend and a right turn, where they approach a bumpy section of road with [[Goomba]]s, which follows another gentle S-curve shape. After another left turn the player then jumps over an arched bridge towards the finish line, where there is another Piranha Plant on each side of the road.
 
===Shortcuts===
*Part of the circular curve can be skipped and the Chain Chomp avoided by using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or speed-boosting item to cut across the grass behind it.

==''Mario Kart DS''==
[[File:GCN Mario Circuit MKDS demo.png|thumb|150px|left|A screenshot of the course with textures in ''Mario Kart DS'']]
Mario Circuit was originally planned to reappear as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unused Data|was removed prior to the game's release]]. The course would have used the textures "BeachTree1", "kuribo", and "mario_tree", which still remain in the game's files. There were no Goombas present toward the end of the track, and the graphics were reduced due to the limitations of the system. It can still be accessed in the game's data, and can be found by [[wikipedia:Action Replay|Action Replay]] without textures or through ROM Hacking with textures.<ref>[http://youtube.com/watch?v=r_zTcoBJr4w YouTube - Mario Kart DS Kiosk Beta: GCN Mario Circuit]</ref>

Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the fourth and last race of the [[Leaf Cup]], though no major changes have been made apart from a slight design update. The player can now perform [[Jump Boost|trick]]s off of the bumps in the road and the arched bridge approaching the finish line.

In ''Mario Kart Wii'', a tournament took place on this track.  It was a time trial race, with an increased number of [[Piranha Plant]]s and [[Chain Chomp]]s. It was the [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#October 2009 Tournament 1|first tournament of October 2009]], and it was repeated as the [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#July 2011 tournament 2|second tournament of July 2011]], the [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#October 2012 Tournament 1|first tournament of October 2012]], and the [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#December 2013 Tournament 2|second tournament of December 2013]].

Players start the Time Trial with no items, but there is one Item Box at the beginning of the track which always contains a Mushroom. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of July 2011, the first tournament of October 2012 and the second tournament of December 2013.

Mario Circuit is the second race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is Mario's home track of the game. This version of the course features many of the typical elements of a Mario Circuit, such as Warp Pipes, Piranha Plants and giant mushrooms, visually similar to World 1 in various games from the Super Mario series. It also introduces the new element of Peach's Castle around which the course takes place, an element that appears in all later Mario Circuits, and also features Goombas, Piranha Plants, and a Chain Chomp as obstacles. This course appears at the end of the credits in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! after completing the Special Cup or All-Cup Tour. In Mushroom Bridge, Peach's Castle from this track can be seen in the background. This Mario Circuit was originally going to reappear as a classic course in Mario Kart DS but was removed from the final version of the game, later reappearing as the fourth and final course of the Leaf Cup in Mario Kart Wii.

Mario Circuit shares its music with Luigi Circuit and Yoshi Circuit. An arrangement of it appears in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix under the title "Rollercoasting". An arrangement of the music for these courses also appears as one of the selectable songs that can be played during events in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS version), Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii version), and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

The starting line for the course is situated alongside Peach's Castle, from which the player drives straight for a short distance to a left turn where a sign reading "MARIO" can be seen, followed by a hairpin bend towards the right. This is followed by a long and gentle left turn around a patch of grass with a Chain Chomp, which will occasionally come out and attack the player, who will spin out if hit.

After another left turn the player then jumps over an arched bridge towards the finish line, where there is another Piranha Plant on each side of the road.

Shortcuts[edit]

  • Part of the circular curve can be skipped and the Chain Chomp avoided by using a Mushroom or speed-boosting item to cut across the grass behind it.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

A screenshot of the course with textures in Mario Kart DS

Mario Circuit was originally planned to reappear as a classic course in Mario Kart DS, but was removed prior to the game's release. The course would have used the textures "BeachTree1", "kuribo", and "mario_tree", which still remain in the game's files. There were no Goombas present toward the end of the track, and the graphics were reduced due to the limitations of the system. It can still be accessed in the game's data, and can be found by Action Replay without textures or through ROM Hacking with textures.[2]

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

GCN Mario Circuit in Mario Kart Wii

Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Wii as the fourth and last race of the Leaf Cup, though no major changes have been made apart from a slight design update. The player can now perform tricks off of the bumps in the road and the arched bridge approaching the finish line.

Tournaments[edit]

The tournament

October 2009's first tournament required players to complete a Time Trial on a version of Mario Circuit with more obstacles: There are now two Chain Chomps near the beginning of the track, and there are now eighteen Piranha Plants all throughout the course, with some positioned directly in the middle of the track. Players start the Time Trial with no items, but there is one Item Box at the beginning of the track which always contains a Mushroom. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of July 2011, the first tournament of October 2012 and the second tournament of December 2013.
