Luigi Circuit is the first race track that appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in the Mushroom Cup.
The track is a huge 8 with ramps on the sides. Because of this, racers can see other racers going up the track while they are going down. In any setting except for the 50cc one, the racers can even get into contact with each other. Additionally in the higher settings, there are several shortcuts around the track, with Item Boxes on them. To avoid cheating in the course, the drivers have to pass the booster on both ramps in order to complete the round. Also, it seems that this course was inspired by the Luigi Circuit from Mario Kart 64.
The only threat on the course is the giant Chain Chomp. In the background, a rank "A" mansion from the end of Luigi's Mansion can be seen.
In the All-Cup Tour in Double Dash!!, it is always the first race.
The track reappeared in Mario Kart DS in the Shell Cup. However most of the shortcuts were removed and the track followed the 50cc version.
