 ===Course layout===
-This course features Mario's [[Mario Cap|red cap]] on the top of the course's terrace, next to the starting line. The road is made of concrete, just like [[N64 Luigi Raceway|Luigi Raceway]] and [[N64 Royal Raceway|Royal Raceway]]. Although the course has no pit hazards, it is filled in rough grass, and running over them causes any kart to slow down. However, using a speed booster as a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star|Star]], drivers can make shortcuts through the grass and dust. [[Piranha Plant]]s are an obstacle found over the grass, and bumping into one causes the Kart to spin around. Many Piranha Plants are located near to the corners.
+The course begins near a grand stand full of cheering audience, atop which is a large model of the [[Mario Cap]], and it takes place on a simple asphalt road with grass on both sides. Racers first take two right turns, with the first set of [[Item Box]]es in between. Afterwards there is a gradual U-turn to the left, with a large hill on the inside of the turn. A much sharper U-turn to the right follows, with a big toadstool on the inside of the turn. After passing another item set, racers take a left turn followed by a slight right turn and a brief straightaway. To the left of the straightaway is a giant rotating sign with text reading "Go" and Mario's artwork from ''[[Super Mario World]]''; running into this sign while using a [[Super Star|Star]] causes it to rise into the air.<ref>Supper Mario Broth (November 16, 2018).

Retrieved April 28, 2023.</ref> After the straightaway is another right U-turn followed by a left turn, with the last item set in the middle of the left turn. Racers then drive along a straightaway that goes through a giant [[Warp Pipe]] tunnel. A 90° turn to the right then brings racers to the finish line.
-Upon getting to the first turn, the racers go near a hill to take a semi-circular turn surrounding a big toadstool. A long stretch of the road is next, featuring a giant rotating sign with text reading "Go" and Mario's artwork from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Running into this sign while using a Star causes it to rise into the air.<ref>Supper Mario Broth (November 16, 2018).

+While no obstacles appear on the track itself, trees and stationary [[Piranha Plant]]s appear along the sides of the track. The course also has no notable shortcuts, but racers can use [[Dash Mushroom|Mushrooms]] or a Star to drive through the large amount of off-road along the course and cut off turns.
