==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
Mario Circuit is a recurring name first given to four tracks in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In the original Japanese versions, it goes on to be used for one track in every mainline game. It is one of four track names that are reused in more than two courses and consistently appear in many ''Mario Kart'' games, alongside [[Luigi Circuit]], [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series|Bowser's Castle]], and [[Rainbow Road]].


[[Image:MKDS_MarioCircuit.jpg|left|thumb|'''Mario Circuit''' from ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', all circuit courses are known as raceways in English. Thus, its Mario Circuit is named Mario Raceway instead.
In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', four Mario Circuits appeared. For further information, see [[Mario Circuit 1]], [[Mario Circuit 2|2]], [[Mario Circuit 3|3]] and [[Mario Circuit 4|4]].

While ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'' do not feature any courses with the Mario Circuit name, similar courses that may be inspired by Mario Circuit do appear in each game's [[Mario Cup]]. ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' and ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2'' include [[Mario Highway]] and [[Mario Beach]], which are named after Mario and feature a circuit-like road design with a coastal theme. The similarly themed [[Splash Circuit]] from ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'' also appears to be associated with Mario, as is its sister course, [[Tropical Coast]]. Moreover, the [[finish line (object)|finish line]] banner for both Splash Circuit and Tropical Coast features the name "Mario Circuit", strengthening this connection.


In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash]]!!'', Mario Circuit is a basic course that contains enemies like [[Goomba]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s. [[Peach's Castle]] can be seen in the background of the track. This Mario Circuit was the second track in the [[Flower Cup]].

In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', Mario Circuit is a rather plain stage, containing only one shortcut, no obstacles, and few [[item boxes]].  It appears as the first track of the Flower Cup.

A Mario Circuit stage similar to the layout of the [[Figure-8 Circuit]] appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The stage has two platforms resembling a jump platform and a road pavement in the center. [[Shy Guy]] racers will appear and damage players from both the jump and the central road. However, they themselves can be damaged, causing them to spin out and be harmless.


In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the course has two fireball-shooting [[Piranha Plant]]s (also called [[Venus Fire Trap]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'') and many [[Goomba]]s. It is the third race of the [[Star Cup]]. In Retro Mode, the [[Mario Circuit 1]] from ''Super Mario Kart'' was also playable.

The Mario Circuit also appears as a playable stage in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', in the form of a monopoly board.
Another Mario Circuit appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', based on the course featured in ''Mario Kart 8''. The stage is a moving stage in which a platform carries the fighters around the track and stopping at various points. Shy Guys are also racing on the track and can damage the fighters if they are hit by them, similar to the Mario Circuit in the previous game.


In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', an unnamed town was showed in the E3 2007 trailer. However, in-trailer footage showed that the circuit were named Mario Circuit. This Mario Circuit has [[Princess Peach's Castle]] and other buildings in the background. [[Toad Town]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and the ''[[Mario & Luigi Series|Mario & Luigi series]]'' may also have been an inspiration for this game.
The Mario Circuit from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' also returns in this game, under the name "Mario Circuit (Brawl)".

Mario Circuit has also been revealed as a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' (looking like [[Figure-8 Circuit]]), where go-karts driven by [[Shy Guy]]s will race along the level, crashing into the characters. However this may be removed from the final version.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', both of the Mario Circuit stages from previous games return. However, the one from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is renamed "Figure-8 Circuit".

—Mario, Fortune Street

Mario Circuit is the name given to various race courses in the Mario Kart series. These courses generally contain features associated with Mario, such as his red cap, Mushrooms, Peach's Castle, Warp Pipes, Goombas, Chain Chomps, and Piranha Plants. Various banners bearing his name can also be seen along some of these tracks. Mario Circuit is usually featured in the Flower Cup.
