Mario Bros. Circuit is the introductory track of Mario Kart World, serving as the first race course of the Mushroom Cup.[2] It is also the first checkpoint of the Golden Rally, and the second checkpoint of the Cloud Rally. The course takes place in an arid area in the mesa region of the game's map, making it the first opening course in the series to not be set in a grassland or stadium. As its name indicates, the course is associated with both Mario and Luigi, combining the Mario Circuit and Luigi Circuit race courses from previous Mario Kart games. The environment of the race track is inspired by canyons and deserts in the western region of the United States, specifically Monument Valley in the Utah-Arizona state line.
Mario Bros. Circuit was the first course revealed for Mario Kart World, being featured in the Nintendo Switch 2 first-look trailer, the first revealed footage of the game. Specifically, gameplay illustrated racers driving off of Mario Bros. Circuit into the route to Crown City.[3] At least one route leading to Mario Bros. Circuit will make racers progress through the course backwards.[4]
Course layout
All racers start in a desert stadium area. Following the starting line is a U-turn to the left around a stone tower with metal structures built into it. Near the stone structure lies a rail with coins on them that cuts inward into the turn. After, there is then a metal road at a soft upwards angle with rails on the sides containing coins. The metal road has racers turn to the right and then left. Next is a short tunnel, which leads to the course's signature elevated banked turn to the right which loops around to above the tunnel. Completing the turns leads racers towards a section with multiple routes. The main route is hosted on metal road containing some rails which zigzags, leading to a left turn towards the finish line. An alternate path can be reached by the player jumping off the road towards the right before the zigzag section. This path leads racers down some rocks to the side containing a jump followed by a glider ramp to the finish line. Near the glider ramps resides a rail which leads over some stands in the desert stadium area containing a couple of coins. Close to the finish line is a narrow path similar to the one in GBA Mario Circuit which goes near a rail.[2]
