'''Figure-8 Circuit''', also titled '''Figure-Eight Circuit''' in the kiosk demo, is the first race course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The course is named for having a layout in the shape of an 8. It is the only "circuit" in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series that is not associated with a character. The Figure-8 Circuit is comparable to several [[Luigi Circuit]] courses throughout the ''Mario Kart'' games for having a simple, straightforward layout and no unique gimmicks. This track shares its music with ''[[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart DS)|Mario Circuit]]''.

Figure-8 Circuit has a basic wide layout with prolonged turns, allowing racers to perform several [[Drift|power-slide]]s. The finish line is right after where the track crosses under the upper part of the course. Most of Figure-8 Circuit's details are in the background, starting with the bleachers that consist of a full crowd, which are heard cheering as racers drive by. The bleachers start from the race line and end at a background pit stop to the right. There are no obstacles in the course except for grass surrounding the boundaries. The pit stop is immediately followed by a straightforward path. From there, a few large [[Warp Pipe]]s and platform blocks resembling those from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' can be seen on grassy hills in the distance. After the straight path is a loop, which takes racers around and then overlaps beneath a bridge that is supported by some bricks. The road on top of the bridge is the center of the straight path, which reveals that the straight path is slightly slanted downward. The lap ends after going under the bridge.

There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Figure-8 Circuit:
 
*'''Mission 1-1''': The player controls [[Mario]], who must pass through 5 gates within 35 seconds, with the help of some ground [[Mushroom]]s.
*Mission 1-1: [[Mario]] must drive through all 5 numbered gates in order.
*'''Mission 2-2''': The player controls [[Yoshi]], who must collect 10 [[coin]]s scattered along the course within 30 seconds. One coin is behind where the player starts, so a [[Rocket Start]] is not necessary.
*Mission 2-2: [[Yoshi]] must collect 10 [[coin]]s while racing around the track. One coin is behind where the player starts.

*The ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' iteration of [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] is shaped after a number 8, much like this course. However, it is also based on a {{wp|Möbius strip}}, due to the game's anti-gravity mechanic.

*As of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' and the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', Figure-8 Circuit is the only track from this game's [[Mushroom Cup]] that has yet to return as a [[classic course]] in a future ''Mario Kart'' game. It is also one of three courses from ''Mario Kart DS'' that has yet to return, the others being [[Bowser Castle (Mario Kart DS)|Bowser Castle]] and [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart DS)|Rainbow Road]].
