Electrodrome is a track in Mario Kart 8 and the third course of the Star Cup. The course takes place in a neon-lit nightclub, which is filled with Koopa Troopas, Shy Guys, and Piranha Plants. Banners with the Star Cup logo can be seen throughout the track and some parts of the road even have neon screens, one even showing MK TV on it. Similarly to some tracks from Mario Kart Wii, the music slightly changes on certain parts of the track. Like in Mario Kart 7, each techno music instruments make their own sounds as players drive on them. When players race through areas that have a crowd of dancing Koopas and Shy Guys on the side, they can hear the hand claps.

Course layout

The course starts directly in front of a gliding panel. After the racers glide down to the road below, there is a turn going left. Shortly after the turn, there is an anti-gravity area curving to a wall that soon splits into 2 roads, one pink and one green. The roads twist around each other before connecting. At the end of each road is a gliding panel leading to a large neon platform with the words "Star Cup" on it, as well as the cup’s logo. There is a small jump at the end of the platform and a left turn that leads to the finish line.

Shortcuts

  • At the final left turn, players can cut through the darker section with a speed boost instead of taking the turn.
