Mario Kart series
In Super Mario Kart, four Mario Circuits appeared. For further information, see Mario Circuit 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Mario Kart 64
Template:Racecourse Mario Raceway is a race track in Mario Kart 64. It is part of the Flower Cup. While the track distance was fairly short, it includes many tight curves and corners. If the player presses the R button on the start screen of Mario Kart 64, the player can see the best lap time for Mario Raceway.
It reappears in Mario Kart Wii, as the final race track in the Shell Cup.

Other Appearances
Itadaki Street DS
The Mario Circuit also appears as a playable stage in Itadaki Street DS, in the form of a monopoly board. It is loosely based on the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! version.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Mario Circuit is also a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (looking like Figure-8 Circuit), with the stage taking place on the 8-figure intersection. The stage is set up with two levels; the bottom level, which is a flat surface across the race course, and the upper level, which takes place on a few platforms of the race course. On occasion, go-karts driven by Shy Guys will race along the back or sides of the stage, crashing into characters, damaging them greatly (just like in a massive Mario Kart DS download play mode). When they come in from the back, they will hit the bottom level, and when coming from the sides, they will hit the upper level. Players can keep track of where the Shy Guys are from the screen in the back of the stage. However, like in Mute City and Onett from Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Shy Guy's can be knocked aside with items, such as the Home-Run Bat. In the background of the stage, there is a big screen which shows the racers' positions on the track (by which fighters can guide themselves as to where to stay, if on the upper or the lower section).
