Daisy Circuit is the first track of the Star Cup in Mario Kart Wii. This track takes place at an area near the sea at sunset, featuring some twists and a fountain section with statues of Luigi, Daisy, an their respective baby counterparts. This track belongs to Daisy (hence the name).

After just over fifteen years, this track makes a retro appearance in Mario Kart Tour as of the Princess Tour. Shortly afterwards, it makes it's second retro appearance as part of Wave 6 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC, as the third track of the Acorn Cup.

Daisy Circuit is quite a special circuit in the Mario Kart series, as it takes place just by the sea. Several spectators cheer the racers on. There is an area in the shape of an 8 that features two fountains: the first features a statue of Luigi and Daisy, arm in arm, dancing together, and the other features a statue of Baby Luigi and Baby Daisy playing together. Later in this course, there is a tunnel, before going around a lighthouse before the Finish Line. The course is raced at the time of sundown cause the sky is a little pink and mostly orange. In the background on a part of the track is the Daisy Cruiser (although said track does not appear as retro track in Mario Kart Wii).

The race starts on a slight bend to the left as it enters its first turn. There are multiple turns in the first corner, creating a street of many turns, but you can simply drive right through the middle of all of them. After the first turn, you have a choice to take a left turn followed by a right turn around a lighthouse into the fountain section, or you can take a shortcut through the lighthouse, which ends with a Dash Panel ramp that allows a trick to be performed and an Item Box, driving onto the right side of the first fountain. At the fountains, you can take two different turns that create two circles around both fountains. On the right side, there are traffic cones that appear in your way, and hitting them can slow you down. Shortly beyond that are a line of boxes, which also appear on the other side as well.

After the fountains, you enter a section with a low roof, which starts with a sharp right turn, with traffic cones around the edges. After the sharp turn, the track straightens out for the rest of that section. You take a small left turn out of the tunnel into the last bit of the track. Next, you take a very wide u-turn to the right, along with collecting the last boxes of the course until the next lap. You can also take the outer track, which is slightly more elevated, but a lot slower than taking the turn normally. Finally, you take one last left turn 90 degrees right to the finish line. On the last turn, you can take the normal route, or you can take the elevated route, which takes the last turn a lot sharper than the normal route.

Mario Kart Tour

After just over fifteen years of not making a retro appearance, Daisy Circuit makes its first reappearance in Mario Kart Tour starting with the Princess Tour. It has received updated graphics, although not much else has been changed about the layout and the gimmicks. Interestingly though, Rocky Wrenches make an appearance in the T variant of the track.

Shortcuts

• At the half-square turn heading towards the statues, one can travel up a set of stairs at the pink building beside it with a Boost Pad and a place to trick at the end. There is also an Item Box at the end of the shortcut.^{✱ for all games}

Trivia!

• Exclusive to Mario Kart Wii, the heads on the statues in the course will change to Miis from your Wii's Mii Channel if you have selected Mii Outfit A or B as the driver. Here, a Male Mii and Female Mii will respectively replace Luigi's and Daisy's heads, and Miis will also replace the heads of the Baby Luigi and Baby Daisy statues.
  • This also applies to other tracks with statues of Mario characters.
• You can use the elevated parts at the end of the course to dodge incoming Red Shells.
• This is the final circuit track to appear in the Booster Course Pass.
• This is the only nitro circuit track in the game to have different music to the other circuits.
  • This is also the only nitro circuit track in the game to make a retro appearance.
• This track could be based off the Monaco Grand Prix.
• In the Booster Course Pass DLC, this course was originally supposed to be the 2nd course of the Spiny Cup (as evidenced by it being labeled in the files as "Cnsw_66").
