This article is about the race course in Mario Kart DS. For the Super Smash Bros. stage based on the course, see Figure-8 Circuit (stage).

Template:Racecourse Figure-8 Circuit is the first race course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart DS, as well as the location of the awards ceremony held after any cup. The race track resembles an 8. It is comparable to Luigi Circuit of numerous other Mario Kart games, as simple, straightforward, and free of gimmicks. This race course has a different introduction fanfare on Grand Prix, which is shared with Waluigi Pinball, Mario Circuit (with which it also shares its music) and GCN Luigi Circuit.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, there is a Mario Kart-themed course entitled "Mario Circuit" that has a similar layout to Figure-8 Circuit. The stage reappears under the name "Figure-8 Circuit" in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Missions

Missions 1-1 and 2-2 take place on this circuit. The first requires the player to pass through 5 gates in order and the second requires them to collect 10 coins.

Official descriptions

  • Instruction booklet: “This course is laid out in the shape of the number 8. The road is wide and the corners are broad, so you can run through the whole thing at high speed.”
  • Official website: “This figure-eight shaped course boasts a wide racetrack with easy corners. It’s ideal for constant top-speed racing.”
  • Official European website: “With just two straights and two bends, your first stop in the Mushroom Cup season is as simple as they come (with the exception of Baby Park’s basic loop). So hit the gas, impress the crowds and save your strengths for the harder tracks to come.”

Trivia

  • This is the only "circuit" in the Mario Kart series that is not owned by any playable character.
  • In Mario Kart 8's rendition of Mario Circuit, it is shaped after a number 8, much like this course. However, it is also based on a Möbius strip, due to the game's anti-gravity mechanic.
  • This is the only Mushroom Cup course in Mario Kart DS that has yet to become a retro course.
