Mute City is the last track of the Egg Cup in Mario Kart 8. This course is based on the F-Zero series.
This track takes place in Mute City, where the track is full of twists and turns. Instead of Coins being laid out naturally on this course, there are Recharge Pads which grant racers coins.
Layout[]
Mario Kart 8[]
The course twists a lot, and has tons of speed boosts. The only way to get coins in the track is to drive on the Recharge Pads on the sides of the track.
Right off the start, several Boost Pads and recharge paths (which gives them a maximum of ten coins) can be found. After a U-turn, the track begins to corkscrew before a large jump.
Afterward, the track continues on a cylindrical route that continues to twist before another jump leads into an opening in a building. Here, two more recharge paths can be found before the race continues outside. After a few turns, the track becomes a down hill drive past a rocket and a few signs depicting Captain Falcon before it arrives at the finish line.
Shortcuts[]
- There is a mud section inside the U-turn after the exit of the building, that one can cut off if a Mushroom or Star is used.
- The turn before the downhill section can be cut off by using a Mushroom through a muddy path leading to a ramp, which then leads to another ramp that can be used to get back to the main path.
- Alternatively, you can perform this shortcut without a Mushroom, by performing a precise Mini-turbo before the off-road and hopping.
- One can use a Star or Mushroom to boost through two mud patches before going off the final jump to the finish line.

Trivia![]
- The track, along with the other downloadable courses, GCN Baby Park and Big Blue, takes place entirely in Anti-gravity. Additionally, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, with the Booster Course Pass DLC, Sky-High Sundae and Wii Rainbow Road also take place entirely in anti-gravity.
- Signs and buildings throughout the course depict and reference the various F-Zero racers, including Captain Falcon, Samurai Goroh, Dr. Stewart, Pico, Jody Summer, and Mr. EAD.
- Instead of using the normal pre-race countdown and results theme, this course uses the F-Zero series equivalents; this is the first track in the Mario Kart series to do this, the second being Big Blue. However, the pre-race countdown does not apply in Time Trials.
- One of the signs depicts an artwork of Captain Falcon alongside the text "Show me your moves!", a reference to his taunt in the Super Smash Bros. series.
- A desert can be seen on the outskirts of the city, possibly a reference to the Sand Ocean course from the F-Zero series.
- This course is one of two tracks in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that don't have any physical obtainable Coins, the other being Big Blue. Instead they have Recharge Pads in order to collect coins.
