'''Mario Circuit 2''' is the fifth and final course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. It reappears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as the first course of the [[Classic course#Mario Kart: Super Circuit|Extra Flower Cup]], in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the second course of the [[Banana Cup]], and in various tours in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' since debuting in the [[Tokyo Tour]].


'''Mario Circuit 2''' is the fifth and final course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', later reused in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It is a tarmac circuit set in grassland.
==''Super Mario Kart''==
===Course layout===
[[File:SMK Mario Circuit 2 Screenshot.png|thumb|left|The course in ''Super Mario Kart'']]
The course is much more complex than Mario Circuit 1. In addition to its many turns, both [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] and [[oil slick]]s appear as obstacles. The course begins with an immediate 90° turn to the left followed by a 90° turn to the right and another 90° left turn. There is then a brief straightaway, where racers encounter the only set of [[? Panel]]s, followed by another 90° left turn. Racers then take another left turn followed by three right turns separated by brief straights; the final right turn is a sharp U turn which brings racers to a bunch of [[Dash Panel|zippers]] covering the width of the track. These zippers are placed directly before a jump pad, allowing racers to jump over a previous part of the track, something that does not happen on any other track. After landing from the jump there is one last 90° left turn and racers then reach the finish line.


==Description==
When playing in Grand Prix mode, sometimes a computer driver (mainly last place) does not manage to complete the full jump where racers cross over the track, preventing them from completing a lap. This can also happen to a player when trying to do the jump too slowly.
[[File:SMK MarioCircuit2.png|thumb|left|The course in ''Super Mario Kart''.]]
 
It is a typical Mario Circuit course, featuring [[Warp Pipe|Pipes]], many curves and also [[Oil Slick]]s, which have a similar effect on players like [[banana]]s, with the difference that they do not make them lose any [[coin]]s. In addition, there is also a large [[Ramp]] that the player must complete, which overlaps another part of the track. When playing in [[Grand Prix]] mode, sometimes a computer driver does not manage to carry out the full jump (mainly last place), preventing them from completing a lap. This can also happen to a player when trying to do the jump too slowly. Since the CPU does not Super Jump near the jump, it becomes a great trap laying area. Several Warp Pipes are placed in the final corner before the finish line.
===Shortcuts===
{{br|left}}
A notable shortcut can be found at the beginning of the track. After the first turn, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or [[Super Star|Star]] to drive through the off-road to the left of the track, cutting off the following two left turns.
 
===Glitches===
There is a bug that allows Lakitu to count two laps when only one lap was completed. For this glitch, the player needs one mushroom. Using the ramp near the end, the player must use the mushroom as soon as they use the jump, trying to land near the goal, but in the out-of-bounds area (for the glitch to work, the character must be a little stuck in the wall). If successful, Lakitu will position the player where the goal is, counting a total of two laps (the one the player traveled normally and the one that is glitched). This same glitch works in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''.{{ref needed}}

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Mario Circuit 2 is the second race course in the [[Banana Cup]]. Unlike previous versions of the track, it has three laps instead of five, and is built in a larger scale, similar to that of [[Mario Circuit 3]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.
Mario Circuit 2 also reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the second course of the [[Banana Cup]]. Unlike its previous iterations, it has three laps instead of five, and is built in a larger scale, similar to that of {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}} in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.


The large jump now encompasses a glider ramp. There is a trick ramp on the large off-road path, and the straight between the 9th and 10th turns is lengthened, in order to prevent racers from cutting the track by using the gliders in a similar way that racers could exploit the jump in previous ''Mario Kart'' games. The straights between the 1st and 7th turns are also made longer. Players may fall to the lower section of the track. If players do fall down, they will get picked up by [[Lakitu]] and brought back to the next section of the track. The finish line is also placed further back from its original appearance. This is the first retro track ported from the 2D games to have slopes, which are commonplace in 3D games.
In this version, the Warp Pipes and oil slicks return as obstacles, after being absent from the ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' iteration. There are also some new gameplay changes in this version. The straightaways between the 1st and 7th turns have been made longer. There is a trick ramp which makes it easier to perform part of the large off-road shortcut; players can also now use a hidden Bullet Bill path to perform the entire shortcut. The large jump now encompasses a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]. After this glide ramp there is a long ramp on the left wall which allows racers to get extra distance. The straightaway between the 9th and 10th turns has also been lengthened, in order to prevent racers from cutting the track by using the gliders similar to how racers could exploit the jump in previous ''Mario Kart'' games. Players now may fall to the lower section of the track. If players do fall down, they will get picked up by [[Lakitu]] and brought back to the next section of the track. The [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]] is also placed further back from its original appearance, and a starting banner has been added.

Mario Circuit 2 reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Tokyo Tour]]. It remains unchanged in terms of layout, taking its appearance and music from ''Mario Kart 7''. It also shares its music with {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 1}}, {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, and [[RMX Mario Circuit 1]].
 
The course also appears as '''Mario Circuit 2R''' (reversed), '''Mario Circuit 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Mario Circuit 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The first two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the Tokyo Tour, while the last was introduced in the [[New Year's Tour (2020)|2020 New Year's Tour]]. In the T variant, there is a [[Chain Chomp]] near the trick ramp in the off-road , and the glide ramp is now gone. In the R/T variant, three [[Piranha Plant]]s appear on the sides of the course.

Mario Circuit 2 is the fifth and final course of the Mushroom Cup in Super Mario Kart. It reappears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit as the first course of the Extra Flower Cup, in Mario Kart 7 as the second course of the Banana Cup, and in various tours in Mario Kart Tour since debuting in the Tokyo Tour.

Course layout[edit]

Mario Circuit 2 from Super Mario Kart.
The course in Super Mario Kart

The course is much more complex than Mario Circuit 1. In addition to its many turns, both pipes and oil slicks appear as obstacles. The course begins with an immediate 90° turn to the left followed by a 90° turn to the right and another 90° left turn. There is then a brief straightaway, where racers encounter the only set of ? Panels, followed by another 90° left turn. Racers then take another left turn followed by three right turns separated by brief straights; the final right turn is a sharp U turn which brings racers to a bunch of zippers covering the width of the track. These zippers are placed directly before a jump pad, allowing racers to jump over a previous part of the track, something that does not happen on any other track. After landing from the jump there is one last 90° left turn and racers then reach the finish line.

When playing in Grand Prix mode, sometimes a computer driver (mainly last place) does not manage to complete the full jump where racers cross over the track, preventing them from completing a lap. This can also happen to a player when trying to do the jump too slowly.

Shortcuts[edit]

A notable shortcut can be found at the beginning of the track. After the first turn, the player can use a Mushroom or Star to drive through the off-road to the left of the track, cutting off the following two left turns.

Glitches[edit]

There is a bug that allows Lakitu to count two laps when only one lap was completed. For this glitch, the player needs one mushroom. Using the ramp near the end, the player must use the mushroom as soon as they use the jump, trying to land near the goal, but in the out-of-bounds area (for the glitch to work, the character must be a little stuck in the wall). If successful, Lakitu will position the player where the goal is, counting a total of two laps (the one the player traveled normally and the one that is glitched). This same glitch works in Mario Kart: Super Circuit.[citation needed]

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Mario Circuit 2 reappears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit as the first track of the Extra Flower Cup. The background is from that game's own Mario Circuit. An extra Item Box is placed at the left of the track before the jump. The pipe and oil slick hazards have been removed.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

SNES Mario Circuit 2

Mario Circuit 2 also reappears in Mario Kart 7 as the second course of the Banana Cup. Unlike its previous iterations, it has three laps instead of five, and is built in a larger scale, similar to that of SNES Mario Circuit 3 in Mario Kart Wii.

In this version, the Warp Pipes and oil slicks return as obstacles, after being absent from the Mario Kart: Super Circuit iteration. There are also some new gameplay changes in this version. The straightaways between the 1st and 7th turns have been made longer. There is a trick ramp which makes it easier to perform part of the large off-road shortcut; players can also now use a hidden Bullet Bill path to perform the entire shortcut. The large jump now encompasses a glide ramp. After this glide ramp there is a long ramp on the left wall which allows racers to get extra distance. The straightaway between the 9th and 10th turns has also been lengthened, in order to prevent racers from cutting the track by using the gliders similar to how racers could exploit the jump in previous Mario Kart games. Players now may fall to the lower section of the track. If players do fall down, they will get picked up by Lakitu and brought back to the next section of the track. The finish line is also placed further back from its original appearance, and a starting banner has been added.

This is the first retro track ported from the 2D games to have slopes, which are otherwise commonplace in 3D games.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The icon for the course in Mario Kart Tour

Mario Circuit 2 reappears in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the Tokyo Tour. It remains unchanged in terms of layout, taking its appearance and music from Mario Kart 7. It also shares its music with SNES Mario Circuit 1, SNES Mario Circuit 3, and RMX Mario Circuit 1.

The course also appears as Mario Circuit 2R (reversed), Mario Circuit 2T (with ramps), and Mario Circuit 2R/T (reversed with ramps). The first two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the Tokyo Tour, while the last was introduced in the 2020 New Year's Tour. In the T variant, there is a Chain Chomp near the trick ramp in the off-road , and the glide ramp is now gone. In the R/T variant, three Piranha Plants appear on the sides of the course.
