The course also returns as a Retro Battle Course in Mario Kart Wii. The inner walls are now color-coded (red, blue, yellow, and green). The music is also remixed, with instrumentation designed to mimic Mario Kart: Super Circuit's soundfont. The background is additionally a higher-quality version of Mario Kart DS's background for GBA Peach Circuit.
