Wario Stadium is the first race course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart 64. It is the second longest race in the game (only behind Rainbow Road). According to the manual, Wario himself designed and built this track, making it his home track in the game. Wario Stadium shares its music with Luigi Raceway, Mario Raceway and Royal Raceway. It is the first Wario-themed course in the Mario Kart series.

- Instruction manual bio: That rascal Wario was in charge of the design and construction of this course. A fan of motocross races, he brought in major amounts of sand to fill this huge stadium in an attempt to build a course more suitable to bikes than Karts. Each lap's distance is extremely long, making it difficult to stay concentrated on the race.
- Website bio: One of the longest tracks in the game, Wario Stadium will test your endurance and concentration.
