The starting line at Mario Circuit.

The track will appear in Mario Kart 8.[1] It is placed around Peach's castle which happens to be on floating islands. Like Figure-8 Circuit, the track is shaped like an 8. There are Goomba Towers near the finish line that can slow down the player. This track uses both the Hang Glider from Mario Kart 7 and also the new anti-gravity wheels in Mario Kart 8. The track is lush and green, surrounded by the blue sky and white clouds. The track's layout is designed after the Möbius strip.

Itadaki Street DS

The Mario Circuit also appears as a playable stage in Itadaki Street DS, in the form of a board. It is loosely based on the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS versions.

In Tour Mode, the player must get first or second place to clear the board. The competitors are Luigi, Birdo and Toad. Clearing this board unlocks Birdo.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Main article: Mario Circuit (stage)

A Mario Circuit stage based upon the Figure-8 Circuit appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The stage has two platforms meant to resemble a jump platform and a road pavement in the center. Shy Guy racers will appear and damage players from both the jump and the central road. However, they themselves can be damaged causing them to spin out and be harmless. This stage is banned in competitive play.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Mario Circuit as it appears in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.

A version of Mario Circuit appears in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games which is heavily based on the version in Mario Kart Wii and is used for the Dream Ski Cross event with the road now being covered entirely with snow and more ramps being carved out of the snow on the track itself. While the general layout of the first half of the course is identical to it is in the aforementioned game albeit with a much steeper descent, the second half of the track is entirely different, where they are linked by two Warp Pipes which split the track into two, the path on the left has a more wavy shape while the path on the right is filled with Coins but a Goomba and Piranha Plant serve as obstacles. Once the paths join back up together there a few tight downhill turns and Piranha Plants until the racers reach a DK Cannon taking them back to the starting line for a second lap.

Fortune Street

Mario Circuit's appearance in Fortune Street.

Mario Circuit makes a return as a playable board in Fortune Street, but its design is based on Mario Kart Wii. However, the route of the track is identical to its appearance in the previous game. In Tour mode, the player has to get at least 2nd place against Mario, Daisy, and Diddy Kong. Mario Circuit is also the only Mario series board in which the layout of the board doesn't change between the Easy and Standard rules.
