'''Ribbon Road''' is the second track of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. The track reappears again in the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|DLC Pack 2]] and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as a part of the [[Bell Cup]]. The entire road is made of a giant stretch of ribbon.

==Course layout==
[[File:RibbonRoad.PNG|thumb|200px|left|Wario driving through the twisted Ribbon Road.]]
The course begins in a straight red road that soon leads to a curve to the right. It is a circular curve that leads the player into boost panels and makes the player boost past and over the section of the road they were in. Here a shortcut may be performed if the player takes all the boost panels and then makes a sharp turn to the right after jumping. It is risky and may land the racer off the track, but it is useful for getting ahead. Past the ramp is a short straight road that turns left into a straight road, and another curve to the left that will also lead the player into boost panels and a ramp that will speed the player past a previous section of the course.

After the second and final ramp is a curve to the right that will lead the player into a twisty, but one-directional road that has off road and presents to slow the player. After the twisty road is another twisty road past the curve to the right that leads the player southwest the course and two more minor curves to the left, that leads the player into the southernmost part of the course.

There is a slightly straight, but curvy road in the last straight road before the finish line. The first section of this road is straight, but there is a very minor curve to the left that leads the player even further down the course until they meet a curve to the right that leads into the road with the finish line. It is straight and it leads the player back into the finish/starting line.

'''Shortcuts'''
This track have only one big shortcut who can be used whitout mushroom.
First take the first boost plate and move to the right without hitting the wall. When you jump with the bouncers, keep going to the right to land on the accessible portion only after using the 2nd series of bouncers, but not anymore with to this shortcut !
It can help you regain rankings or establish a great time in time trials.

==''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
[[File:MK8-DLC-Course-GBA RibbonRoad.jpg|left|thumb|260px|Ribbon Road in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
Ribbon Road returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as a retro course in the add-on pack, [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']], as well as in the base content of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as the second track in the [[Bell Cup]]. The course is now set in a child's bedroom at toy size, that not only features gift boxes, similar to the original, but stuffed Yoshis, [[Koopa Clown Car]] jack-in-the-boxes, toy versions of karts used in ''Mario Kart 8'', [[Mini Toad]]s and a ''Mario Kart 8'' poster on the bedroom's wall as well. The track surface now has three different colors of ribbons with the [[Mario Kart (series)|series]] logo printed on it, instead of just red as in the original. 

The course now features a start/finish banner, which is made of coral pink and lavender colored ribbon arches, with the course's name featured on the front star details on the sides of the banner and on the tips of the arches, as well as a wooden ornament made of a ribbon and Super Bell on top. Also, much like [[Yoshi Circuit| <small>GCN</small> Yoshi Circuit]] and [[Cheese Land|<small>GBA</small> Cheese Land]], the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo is used instead of the classic logo that the course had in its original appearance.
{{right|[[File:MK8-DLC-Course-GBA RibbonRoad-startingline.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The course, as seen from the starting line.]]}}

The course contains three colored sections with castle walls of different colors. Out of the start/finish line, racers travel through the first section, which has red ribbons on pink carpet with castle walls, mini Toads, and Super Bell icons - this section is based on [[Princess Peach]]. After doing a three-quarter turn, the racers go through a jump over the track and enter the second section of castle, where the track is now a green ribbon with light green carpet, with [[Bowser]]-colored castle walls with his icon on them and wind-up [[Mechakoopa]]s posing as hazards - this section is based on Bowser. After another three-quarter turn, the racers go through another jump and enter an anti-gravity segment, with floating blue ribbons, blue-white castle walls, with [[Luma (species)|Luma]] symbols and stars on the spires - this section is based on [[Rosalina]] and her power of levitation. The anti-gravity segment ends in a gliding segment, with racers having to dodge Jack-in-the-Box Koopa Clown Cars before returning to the red ribbon portion of the track. After another U-turn, the track returns to the start/finish line. 

The music has also been remastered, now with a surf-rock rendition of the previous theme.

===Shortcuts===
* Two exist on the anti-gravity portion:
**The player can make a sharp drift onto a ramp next to the [[Teddy Buggy]] statue. 
**Before the main gliding area with the two Jack-in-the-Box Koopa Clown Cars, the player can drift onto a hidden gliding ramp.
* Upon returning to the red ribbon portion of the track, after gliding, players can take a sharp right turn through the ribbon arches using a Mushroom or Star to cut off the wide curve.

===References to the ''Mario'' franchise===
The ''Mario Kart 8'' version of the course contains several references to the game itself and the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] which can be seen in the background:
*The [[Super Bell]] appears on many aspects of the track, reflecting the [[Bell Cup|cup]] that the track is in.
*[[Mini Toad]]s from the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]] appear at the beginning of the track.
*Multiple large knitted [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s resembling both their appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and the Yarn Yoshi series of [[amiibo]].
*After the first ramp, there is a boomerang in the background resembling the one from a [[Boomerang Flower]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'' (when used by [[Toad]]).
*A board game called "[[Yoshi]]'s Dice Game" has the map of [[Yoshi Circuit|<small>GCN</small> Yoshi Circuit]] on the box.
*A poster featuring the box art of the game itself.
*Toy kits can be seen for various ''Mario Kart 8'' karts. They display the stats for the karts, as well as the parts used within the [[Kart]] or [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATV]], including the [[Glider]]s. The combinations are Mario and [[Luigi]]'s [[Standard Kart]]s with [[Standard (tire)|Standard tires]] and the [[Super Glider]], Toad's [[Teddy Buggy]] with [[Button (tire)|Button tires]] and the [[Parachute (glider)|Parachute glider]], and [[Baby Daisy]]'s [[Biddybuggy]] with Standard tires and the [[Flower Glider]].
*A Ribbon Road toy kit box with [[Baby Mario]] on the box that references the ''Mario Kart'' track sets from [[K'NEX]].
*There are also sized-up versions Standard Kart, Teddy Buggy and Biddybuggy.
*Toad's character icon artwork from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' can be seen on two gift boxes, although it is recolored. The 2D artworks of [[Red Shell]]s, [[Super Star]]s, [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Coin]]s, [[Green Shell]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[? Block]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s, as well as the Toad Toy Store Logo can be seen on the same wrapping paper as well.
