Wii Daisy Circuit: Difference between revisions

'''Daisy Circuit''' is the first course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is a tarmac road that drives through a seaside resort. The course travels across a seaside town with a sunset background on a shore, with the hills resembling those of the [[Muda Kingdom]] from ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The course follows [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]'s appearance, with various flower motifs found throughout the level. There is also a docking area with a lighthouse and cruise ships (including [[GCN Daisy Cruiser|Daisy Cruiser]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''). Small baroque-style buildings can be seen from the background. In the figure-8 portion of the track, there are two circular fountains. On the top of the first fountain is a large golden statue of Daisy and [[Luigi]] dancing. The other statue shows [[Baby Luigi]] swinging [[Baby Daisy]].

Despite it being a circuit course, Daisy Circuit does not use the main circuit theme of the game (the theme used for [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]] and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]]). Instead, it has its own unique theme to fit its seaside setting and character, which has some parts of the main circuit theme arranged. An arrangement of its theme appears as one of the selectable songs in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''.

Daisy Circuit reappears as a classic course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Princess Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Acorn Cup]] in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]].

Daisy Circuit returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as part of the sixth and final wave of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC. It appears as the third course of the [[Acorn Cup]]. The course is based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with graphical enhancements. A hang gliding ramp has been added to the shortcut of the stairs at the start of the runway; the stairs themselves are offroad again despite the Piranha Plant cutout added in ''Tour'' being retained. A trick ramp has been added after the tunnel. Dash Panels have been added to the turn around the lighthouse. Similar to {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}}, the paved road has become orange, and the classic road returns to its original gray color. While the track is still set at sunset, the sky is no longer exclusively orange. There is now an extra flute in the intro of the course's music.  The minimap has been rotated 90° clockwise, and the staircase shortcut is now depicted on the map of the course. Vehicle headlights do not turn on when in the tunnel section.  

Internally, the course is referred to as "Cnsw_66", implying it may have originally been intended to be the second course of the [[Spiny Cup]]. However, within the list of course prefixes left in the game's files in the 2.0.0 update, a "GCN" prefix was originally assigned to that slot, meaning Daisy Circuit presumably replaced a course from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' sometime in development.
