'''Mario Circuit 1''' is a race course that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', and as a retro track in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', and is the first track to appear in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' franchise]].
'''Mario Circuit 1''' is the introductory track of ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', serving as the first course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] and, as such, the first course in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series in general. It was later reused as the first [[Classic course#Mario Kart: Super Circuit|Extra Course]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and the first [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the first race of the [[Shell Cup]], being the first retro track in the series. It later reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]].


==Appearance in ''Super Mario Kart''==
Mario Circuit 1 shares its music with the other three Mario Circuits in the game: [[SNES Mario Circuit 2|2]], [[SNES Mario Circuit 3|3]], and [[Mario Circuit 4|4]]. It was arranged in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as a track that can be heard on the [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit]] stage. The arrangement is also in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can be played in any ''Mario Kart'' series stage as well as [[Battlefield]], Big Battlefield, Small Battlefield and [[Final Destination]] as of the version 8.1.0 update.
[[File:SMK MarioCircuit1.png|thumb|left|Mario Circuit 1 from ''Super Mario Kart'']]
Mario Circuit 1 is the first course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. The only hazard in this level are the pipes that appear near the second turn of the course. After the player passes the pipes, they will find the only set of item boxes in the course. There is also a shortcut a racer can take by driving through the dirt right after passing the item boxes. The player will need either a [[Mushroom]] or a [[Star]] to successfully implement the shortcut without slowing down. Taking the shortcut without an item does not take more time than following the course though.

Page 29. nintendo.co.jp. Retrieved August 27, 2022.</ref> This also applies to the [[SNES Battle Course 1|Battle Course 1]] map.
Mario Circuit 1 appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and is the first track in the Extra Mushroom Cup. It uses the background from [[Peach Circuit]]. The pipe hazards were removed from the track, but an item box can be found in the shortcut.

Mario Circuit 1 consists of a simple paved road with sand on both sides that can slow down racers. Outside of the course lies a grassland with trees and hills in the background. The course begins with a left turn followed by a straightaway. Racers then encounter a left turn with several [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], which serve as this course's only hazard. After racers pass the pipes, they reach the only set of [[? Panel]]s in the course. After taking a sharp left turn followed by a sharp right turn, there is one last left turn as racers reach the finish line.

===Shortcuts===
[[File:Mkdsmariocircuit1.jpg|thumb|120px|left|Mario Circuit 1 in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
A notable shortcut can be found just after the ? Panels. After taking the subsequent left turn, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or [[Super Star|Star]] to drive through the off-road to the right of the track, cutting off the sharp right turn. However, taking the shortcut without an item does not take more time than following the course.
Mario Circuit 1 is the first course in the [[Shell Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. However, this time the pipes are back on the second bend. [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|Mission 1-8]] (Perform '''4 [[Mini-Turbo|power-slide turbo boosts]]''' in '''1 lap!''') in this game takes place here. This course was available in Wi-Fi.{{br}}

Mario Circuit 1 reappears as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', as well as the first retro course in the series overall. Like every other ''Super Mario Kart'' track in ''Mario Kart DS'', it only has three laps instead of five. It retains the same hazards as in ''Super Mario Kart'', though it is a bit longer as well. This course was available online until the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] was terminated on May 20, 2014.

Mario Circuit 1 makes a return in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]]. It retains its ''Mario Kart DS'' layout. The two pipes on the right after the third turn were moved onto the right edge of the track itself. The hills and trees in the background are now in 3D. The course now has a starting banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo.
 
Unlike most of the SNES courses, Mario Circuit 1 reuses ''Mario Kart 7''{{'}}s arrangement for {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 2}}, instead of the original music from ''Super Mario Kart''.
 
The course also appears as  '''Mario Circuit 1R''' (reversed), '''Mario Circuit 1T''' (with ramps), and '''Mario Circuit 1R/T''' (reversed with ramps); the first two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the [[New York Tour]], while the last was introduced in the [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019 Holiday Tour]]. In the R variant, [[oil slick]]s and [[traffic cone]]s are now present as well as a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]. In the R/T variant, all of the aforementioned additions are retained, there are now pipes with air currents following both glide ramps, and the shortcut through the sand now has [[Dash Panel|dash panels]].
 
Prior to the [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]], no driver had SNES Mario Circuit 1R listed as a favorite course; instead, its appearance in the [[Peach Cup]] in the New York Tour relied on the cup bonus to raise Peach to the top tier.

Mario Circuit 1 is the introductory track of Super Mario Kart, serving as the first course of the Mushroom Cup and, as such, the first course in the Mario Kart series in general. It was later reused as the first Extra Course in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and the first classic course in Mario Kart DS as the first race of the Shell Cup, being the first retro track in the series. It later reappears in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the New York Tour.

Mario Circuit 1 shares its music with the other three Mario Circuits in the game: 2, 3, and 4. It was arranged in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as a track that can be heard on the Mario Circuit stage. The arrangement is also in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it can be played in any Mario Kart series stage as well as Battlefield, Big Battlefield, Small Battlefield and Final Destination as of the version 8.1.0 update.

In the Super Mario Kart instruction booklet, the course map is upside down.[1] This also applies to the Battle Course 1 map.

Super Mario Kart[edit]

Course layout[edit]

Mario Circuit 1 from Super Mario Kart.
Mario racing on the course

Mario Circuit 1 consists of a simple paved road with sand on both sides that can slow down racers. Outside of the course lies a grassland with trees and hills in the background. The course begins with a left turn followed by a straightaway. Racers then encounter a left turn with several pipes, which serve as this course's only hazard. After racers pass the pipes, they reach the only set of ? Panels in the course. After taking a sharp left turn followed by a sharp right turn, there is one last left turn as racers reach the finish line.

Shortcuts[edit]

A notable shortcut can be found just after the ? Panels. After taking the subsequent left turn, the player can use a Mushroom or Star to drive through the off-road to the right of the track, cutting off the sharp right turn. However, taking the shortcut without an item does not take more time than following the course.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Mario Circuit 1 reappears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and is the first track of the Extra Mushroom Cup. It uses the background from Peach Circuit. The pipe hazards were removed from the track, but an Item Box can be found in the shortcut.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

Screenshot of SNES Mario Circuit 1 featured in Mario Kart DS
Mario Circuit 1 in Mario Kart DS

Mario Circuit 1 reappears as the first course of the Shell Cup in Mario Kart DS, as well as the first retro course in the series overall. Like every other Super Mario Kart track in Mario Kart DS, it only has three laps instead of five. It retains the same hazards as in Super Mario Kart, though it is a bit longer as well. This course was available online until the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was terminated on May 20, 2014.

On the Mario Kart DS website, the gameplay video of SNES Mario Circuit 1 shows GBA Peach Circuit instead.[2]

Missions[edit]

There is one mission that takes place on Mario Circuit 1:

  • Mission 1-8: The player controls Mario, who must perform 4 power-slide mini-turbos before completing one lap and before 45 seconds has passed.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

SNES Mario Circuit 1 in Mario Kart Tour
The course in Mario Kart Tour

Mario Circuit 1 makes a return in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the New York Tour. It retains its Mario Kart DS layout. The two pipes on the right after the third turn were moved onto the right edge of the track itself. The hills and trees in the background are now in 3D. The course now has a starting banner with the classic Mario Kart logo.

Unlike most of the SNES courses, Mario Circuit 1 reuses Mario Kart 7's arrangement for SNES Mario Circuit 2, instead of the original music from Super Mario Kart.

The course also appears as Mario Circuit 1R (reversed), Mario Circuit 1T (with ramps), and Mario Circuit 1R/T (reversed with ramps); the first two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the New York Tour, while the last was introduced in the 2019 Holiday Tour. In the R variant, oil slicks and traffic cones are now present as well as a glide ramp. In the R/T variant, all of the aforementioned additions are retained, there are now pipes with air currents following both glide ramps, and the shortcut through the sand now has dash panels.

Prior to the 2019 Paris Tour, no driver had SNES Mario Circuit 1R listed as a favorite course; instead, its appearance in the Peach Cup in the New York Tour relied on the cup bonus to raise Peach to the top tier.

Appearances[edit]

Profiles[edit]

Mario Kart DS[edit]

  • Instruction booklet and US website: Pulled straight from the SNES version of Super Mario Kart, this narrow track is further complicated by the pipes that protrude from its surface.
  • European website: The one that started it all. The first track from the original Super Mario Kart has a simple layout but don’t let that fool you. Veteran racers know that pixel-perfect precision is needed to negotiate this track’s turns without hitting the pipes jutting from the ground.

Trivia[edit]

  • A sped-up arrangement of the music can be heard in the 1994 electro-mechanical arcade game Super Mario Kart: Doki Doki Race, accompanied by new background notes and an ending note. The track is also similar to Mario Circuit 1, only the characters are racing on it in the opposite direction, and the start line is placed at the top.[5]
