Template:Racecourse Mario Kart Stadium is the first race track in the Mushroom Cup of Mario Kart 8. It is a basic circuit taking place in an autodrome stadium full with advertisements and banners of the players with fireworks in the background. This is the first course to be named after the Mario Kart series itself. This course also makes Mario Kart 8 the only game in the series (excluding the arcade games and Mario Kart 64) where the first course in the game is not named a "Circuit", despite the overall design is still a circuit-type track.
Course layout
The course begins with a short straightaway followed by a right turn. The track then turns right with three colored paths that stay together: an inner blue path, a yellow path in the center that says "Mushroom Cup" on it, and an outer red path with Boost Pads and coins. The track then approaches the anti-gravity part followed by a left turn. Next, the course goes up and down a raised hairpin turn, followed by a gliding area, and one more left turn to the finish line.
Shortcuts
- Just before the path splits in three, the player can use a boosting item to make a sharp turn between the pipes
- After the first split path anti-gravity section, there is a dirt section that the player can boost through.
- Right after the first anti-gravity strip, on the left, there is a ramp that cuts off the corner just before the huge turn.
- Near the end of the course, just after the gliding ramp, a boost can be used across the sand to bypass the final turn. It is easy to notice the shortcut because there are pipes in the sand.
