'''Wario Colosseum''' is, as the name implies, a Colosseum that belongs to [[Wario]]. It's raced first in the [[Special Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and in the [[Lightning Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 3D]]''. It is the longest course in the game, having it reduced to 2 laps in Grand Prix mode and in the "Recommended" option of laps in VS mode in the Gamecube version. It is reduced to 3 laps in Grand Prix mode in the iPhone version.

After the downhill road is a set of Item Boxes in a curve to the right. Past the curve is a huge dome arena where the player can have a choice of taking two paths. One is the ramp in the middle, which leads the player to fly across a pit underneath them. This way is quicker than the way around the pit, but more dangerous as the player is prone to falling off if not angled correctly. The other path, which leads the player around the pit, is safer, but a longer route. It is the route that the AI prefers, as they never take the ramp in the center. After that giant pit is an ascent of the road that leads into a 90° turn left, underneath an overhang. The road underneath the overhang slightly curves to the left. After the overhang, the road still curves to the left, until it is straight again and then leads to a ramp with Dash Panels on it and the last set of Item Boxes. After the ramp is a curve to the left, which leads into the straight road into the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]].
