Mario Circuit from Mario Kart: Super Circuit is part of the Flower Cup as the first race course. This Mario Circuit is a rather plain stage and short in length, with few obstacles and Item Boxes to deal against rivals. It contains winding paths, however, such as a hairpin bend, or a curl path found before the home stretch. Next to the checked line there is a detour where racers can get a speed boost by running onto a Boost Pad located there.
Mario Kart 8
Mario Circuit also appears in Mario Kart 8 as the second course in the Shell Cup. It now features a starting banner with black-and-white tires around the posts, various stacked tires and advertisements, and huts both filled with Toad spectators and oil cans. In this game, the large U turn near the beginning of the track is slanted and separated from the track to act as an anti gravity section. There are also oil slicks that the players must avoid. Unlike other courses from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart: Super Circuit that have appeared as retro courses in more recent games, the road is also slightly banked at the turns. There is also a gliding pad that can be used as a shortcut. This and Donut Plains 3 are also the first two retro courses ported from the 2D games to have slopes, which are commonplace in 3D games.
The anti-gravity section of the level is lifted into the air by Ultra Hands while the oil slicks are a reference to the fact that oil was going to be a weapon in the original prototype of Super Mario Kart, before it was decided to include Mario characters and items.
