There are a number of shortcuts available in this track. Between the first and second turns, drivers may use [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s to use a ramp in the middle of the grass.

There is yet another ramp to the left when the racers exit the castle, and a rail to the left along the pipe, both of which save some time.

This article is about the race course from Mario Kart 7. For other race tracks with similar names, see Mario Circuit.
Mario Circuit is the second course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart 7. It is strongly based upon the Mario Kart DSversion of the track. Unlike other Mario Circuit tracks, where Peach's Castle is a background element, this course allows players to drive through the castle. This rendition of Mario Circuit returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it appears in tours starting with the Tokyo Tour. This track shares its music with Toad Circuit.
This is the only Flower Cup course in Mario Kart 7 to not have a different name in British English versions.

The track takes place on a large grassy field with sand roads, floating Brick Blocks, a Mushroom Trampoline, pipes, blossoming peach trees, a lake, and Peach's Castle. The course begins with a small, straightforward path with two turns, after which pink flower petals begin falling out of the trees on a long bend to the left. Activating the 3D effect of the Nintendo 3DS gives the effect of the petals popping out of the screen. After a ramp, the racers bounce off a Mushroom Trampoline into a curvy section leading towards Peach's Castle, which they then enter. After a spiral upwards, a Glide Ramp launches the drivers out of the castle into an area where pipes blow out wind (allowing for Tricks to be performed) and Goombas appear. Following this is a very large pipe, not unlike the one found in Mario Raceway, which drivers must curve through to reach the finish line after one small bump in the road.
There are a number of shortcuts available in this track. Between the first and second turns, drivers may use Mushrooms to use a ramp in the middle of the grass. Mushrooms can also be used to cut grass on the corner before the Mushroom Trampolines. There are two additional ramps in front of Peach's Castle. There is yet another ramp to the left when the racers exit the castle, and a rail to the left along the pipe, both of which save some time.
This version of Mario Circuit makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the Tokyo Tour. The course has undergone a few minor changes. Peach's Castle has been redesigned, with the entrance to the castle now having doors leading into the spiral upwards. The starting line has a new look that resembles a garden gate.
The course also appears as Mario Circuit R (reversed), Mario Circuit T (with ramps), and Mario Circuit R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the original in the Tokyo Tour, while the latter debuted in the 2019 Winter Tour. In the T variant, there are several more mushroom trampolines, and the gliding section is gone; there is instead a glide ramp at the end of the track which allows racers to glide onto one of two sets of floating blocks. In the R/T variant, the gliding section is still gone, with a glide ramp appearing a bit after racers exit the castle.

In an early trailer of Mario Kart 7, when Mario Circuit was shown, there was originally a Mushroom Trampoline in the pit which players normally glide over, due to gliders not having yet been implemented.
