GCN Mario Circuit: Difference between revisions

'''Mario Circuit''' is the second race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is [[Mario]]'s home track of the game. This version of the course features many of the typical elements of a [[Mario Circuit]], such as [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s and giant mushrooms, visually similar to [[World 1]] in various games from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. It also introduces the new element of [[Peach's Castle]] around which the course takes place, an element that appears in all later Mario Circuits, and also features [[Goomba]]s, Piranha Plants, and a [[Chain Chomp]] as obstacles. This course appears at the end of the credits in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', as well as in the "Thanks for playing!" image seen after completing [[All-Cup Tour]]. In [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]], Peach's Castle from this track can be seen in the background. This course was originally going to reappear as a retro track in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' but was removed from the final game, later reappearing as the fourth and final course of the [[Leaf Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

This track shares its music with [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] and [[GCN Yoshi Circuit|Yoshi Circuit]]. An arrangement of it appears in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' under the title "Rollercoasting". An arrangement of the music for these courses also appears as one of the selectable songs that can be played during events in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' ([[Nintendo DS]] version), ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' ([[Wii]] version), and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.
