### Course map

**Mario Circuit 1** is the first course of the Mushroom Cup in *Super Mario Kart* and as such, the first course in the *Mario Kart* series in general. It was later reused as the first Extra Course in *Mario Kart: Super Circuit* and the first Retro Course in *Mario Kart DS*, being the first Retro Course in the series. It later reappears as a recurring course in *Mario Kart Tour*, first appearing in the New York Tour.

Course layout
Mario racing on the course
The only hazard in this level is the Warp Pipes that appear near the second turn of the course. After the player passes the pipes, they find the only set of item boxes in the course. There is also a shortcut a racer can take by driving through the dirt right after passing the item boxes. The player needs either a Mushroom or a Star to successfully implement the shortcut without slowing down. However, taking the shortcut without an item does not take more time than following the course.

*Mario Kart: Super Circuit*
Peach racing on the course: note the lack of pipes.
Mario Circuit 1 reappears in *Mario Kart: Super Circuit*, and is the first track in the Extra Mushroom Cup. It uses the background from Peach Circuit. The pipe hazards were removed from the track, but an item box can be found in the shortcut.

*Mario Kart DS*
Mario Circuit 1 is the first course in the Shell Cup in *Mario Kart DS*, as well as the first retro course in the series overall. However, the course is slightly longer this time. Mission 1-8 (Perform **4 power-slide turbo boosts** in **1 lap!**) in this game takes place here. This course was available in Wi-Fi.

*Mario Kart Tour*
Mario Circuit 1 makes a return in *Mario Kart Tour*, retaining its *Mario Kart DS* layout. The two pipes on the right after the third turn were moved onto the right side of the track. The mountains and trees in the background are now in 3D. It is one of the few retro courses that did not appear in *Mario Kart 7*. This course is a favorite of Mario, Toad (Pit Crew), Mario (Hakama), Mario (Classic), Mario (Halloween), and Nabbit. It is also a favorite of Peach (Kimono) and Mario (SNES) if they are at level 3, and Luigi (Lederhosen) if he is at level 6.
Prior to the Paris Tour, no driver had Mario Circuit 1R listed as a favorite course; instead, its appearance in the Peach Cup in the New York Tour rely on the spotlight bonus to raise Peach to the top tier.
Unlike most of the SNES courses, Mario Circuit 1 reuses *Mario Kart 7'*s arrangement for Mario Circuit 2, instead of the original music from *Super Mario Kart*.

## Profiles

### *Mario Kart DS*

* **Instruction booklet and US website:** "*Pulled straight from the SNES version of Super Mario Kart, this narrow track is further complicated by the pipes that protrude from its surface.*"
* **European website:** "*The one that started it all. The first track from the original Super Mario Kart has a simple layout but don’t let that fool you. Veteran racers know that pixel-perfect precision is needed to negotiate this track’s turns without hitting the pipes jutting from the ground.*"

## Trivia

* In the *Super Mario Kart* instruction booklet, the course map is upside down. This also applies to the Battle Course 1 map.
* In the *Mario Kart DS* website when showing the video, it shows GBA Peach Circuit instead.[*citation needed*]
* The music for Mario Circuit (and subsequent Mario Circuit courses) was arranged in *Super Smash Bros. Brawl* and *Super Smash Bros. for Wii U* as a track that can be heard on the Mario Circuit stage.
* A sped-up arrangement of the music can be heard in the 1994 arcade game *Super Mario Kart Dokidoki Race*, accompanied by new background notes and an ending note.
