The course begins with long, winding turns with flowers, grass, and pink-leaved trees lining the track. Racers will then jump off of a bouncy mushroom into Peach's castle, which has been remodeled to accommodate the Grand Prix. After drifting through the spiraled passageway in the castle, racers will launch off of a glider ramp.
After that, there will be a dirt path with pipes (2 of them which have air that can boost your gliding). The dirt path has Giant Goombas that when defeated drop a Mushroom. There's a white ramp with a coin at the end that is best accessed gliding. After that, there is a pipe tunnel (similarly to Mario Raceway in Mario Kart 64). After that, the racers will emerge, leap over a small incline, and return to the checkered line.
This variation of Mario Circuit is arguably more vibrant and refreshing than many of the Mario Circuits in previous games.
Shortcuts[]
After the first turn, one can go to a ramp to cut off the second turn.
After the Trampoline Mushroom, one can go to the left side this time to go to another ramp.
If you chose not to do that ramp, go to the other one. On the right side.
When you glide, you can either choose not to use a Mushroom and glide on it, or you can close the glider and use the Mushroom. This ramp is on the left side.
Trivia![]
This course has cherry blossoms, similar to Royal Raceway.
Strangely enough, this course has a Trampoline Mushroom but Toad Circuit does not. It would be fitting to put one in there because, obviously, Toad is a mushroom.
There are mushrooms in Toad Circuit, but they're only used for decoration.
The cherry blossom leaves on this track are shaped like hearts.
This is the first Mario Circuit track where it allows you to drive INSIDE Peach's Castle.
