Mario, Donkey Kong, and Peach racing along Toad Circuit.

The course is a simple circuit with few obstacles, as it is the first course in the game. There are a couple of long boost turns along the track and a couple of boost ramps which allow for the use of gliders, plus a bridge that the player can drive under or hangglide off a ramp and over the bridge and the ramp rises and closes from the ground up for usage after 40 seconds, as well as having a tunnel to drive through. Giant mushrooms are seen through out the track in different sizes and three large balloons of Toads (red, blue, and yellow) are floating along the track as well. Banners of Toad himself can be seen throughout the course with the accompanying "Mario Kart" logo. There is a big turn, then there is a ramp, where the player can use their glider (not used by world champions). Then there is a tunnel, two more turns and then a big curve where lots of coins can be collected. The lap starts over after that.

Shortcuts

Near the big curve there is a ramp where the player needs a Mushroom to cross. Also, after the ramp there is a dirt area with pipes that the player can cross by using a Mushroom. The player can also cut the first turn using three Mushrooms.
