Mario Circuit is a game board that appears in both Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street. It is based on the location of the same name from the Mario Kart series.

History

Itadaki Street DS

Mario Circuit first appears as a playable board in Itadaki Street DS. It features many elements from the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! version of the race course, though the track has a different layout. A Chain Chomp, Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes, giant letters spelling Mario's name, mushroom-shaped hot-air balloon, bridge near the finish line, and Delfino Oak Trees all appear in the background of the board. The board's squares loosely follows the shape of the road. In Tour mode, the player must get first or second place to clear the board. The competitors are Luigi, Birdo and Toad. Clearing this board unlocks Birdo.

Fortune Street

Mario Circuit makes a return as a playable board in Fortune Street. The design of the board is based on Mario Kart Wii, though the route of the track is identical to its appearance in the previous game. The board's layout is also identical to its Itadaki Street DS counterpart. In Tour mode, the player has to get at least 2nd place against Mario, Princess Daisy, and Diddy Kong. Mario Circuit is the only Super Mario franchise board in which the layout of the board does not change between the Easy and Standard rules.
