Starting with ''Mario Kart DS'', classic courses are distinguished by a prefix in their names indicating the game they originate from.

Prior to ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', classic courses were often near-identical to their original counterparts, usually only receiving graphical updates, such as expanding the space and blocks in SNES and GBA courses. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', however, some classic courses were scaled down in graphics and gameplay elements due to limitations of the [[Nintendo DS]], most notably those originally from ''Double Dash!!''. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', classic courses appear almost identical to their original versions, besides added [[underwater driving|underwater]] and gliding sections in the latter game. Starting in ''Mario Kart 8'', most classic courses are completely redesigned with HD graphics, usually featuring newer mechanics such as underwater, gliding, and (except in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'') [[anti-gravity]]. They also tend to feature other new details, including completely new backgrounds or even changes to the track's layout. Additionally, ''Mario Kart 8'' features newly remastered music for all classic courses, whereas classic courses in previous ''Mario Kart'' games tend to retain their original music (though they were sometimes altered due to system limitations, primarily for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and Nintendo DS). ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s classic courses vary in similarity to their original versions, with some closely approximating the original courses and others making changes more in line with the overhauls seen in ''Mario Kart 8''. The music is almost always either the original arrangement or from ''Mario Kart 7'', with the only exceptions being the [[Choco Island|SNES Choco Island]] courses, which use the ''Mario Kart DS'' arrangement; the [[Ghost Valley|SNES Ghost Valley]] courses, [[GBA Cheep-Cheep Island]], and [[DS Peach Gardens]], which use the ''Mario Kart Wii'' arrangements; and GBA courses barring Peach Circuit, Luigi Circuit, the Bowser's Castle courses, Cheep-Cheep Island, and Lakeside Park, as well as [[DS Mario Circuit]], which all use new arrangements (although the reused music is less compressed than in previous games). | Prior to ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', classic courses were often near-identical to their original counterparts, usually only receiving graphical updates, such as expanding the space and blocks in SNES and GBA courses.
