Editing Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)

 

'''Luigi Circuit''' is the introductory track of ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', serving as the first race of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. It is a fairly simple course with no hazards and features a large boosted turn approaching the finish line, and is the shortest Wii course in the game. This course can also be seen at sunset during the credits. It shares its music with [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]], and an arrangement of it is heard in the title theme, demo movie, options menu, [[Block Plaza]], Award Ceremony, and second half of the credits music. The course's overall layout resembles the Grand Prix layout of the real-life {{wp|Monza Circuit}} in Italy, though Luigi Circuit is shorter and does not feature chicanes. This is the last [[Luigi]]-themed [[new course]] in the series and the only one that has yet to reappear as a [[classic course]].

The race starts out in front of a large crowd stand full of [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Birdo (species)|Birdos]], [[Goomba]]s, [[Monty Mole]]s, [[Boo]]s and [[Mii]], with a [[Luigi Cap]] on top, similar to that seen in the ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' [[N64 Luigi Raceway|version]] of the course. Several garage buildings, more spectating Miis and a giant statue of [[Luigi]] appear on the right of the [[Finish Line (object)|Finish Line]]. A [[Cheep Cheep]]-shaped balloon can be seen flying overhead which takes off from the landing platform in the middle of the lake. Hills similar to those seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' can be seen in the background. If a player is racing as a Mii or during the staff credits, the head of the Luigi statue and Luigi's face on some of the Luigi Circuit signs will be replaced with heads of random Miis from the player's system, or in the case of in the staff credits, the head on the Luigi statue is changed to the Mii the player selected for their license regardless of if the player's Mii was in the race or not.

The course starts with a turn to the right, followed by a short straight section and a gentle left turn followed by a U-turn to the right. This section resembles the first sector of the Monza F1 track without the chicanes. This is followed by a longer straight with another gentle left turn, resembling the Variante Ascari chicane in the real life Monza track (as if the chicane had not been taken by F1 cars), followed by the large right turn towards the finish line with many [[Dash Panel]]s, leading into the last straight segment (this resembles Curva Parabolica, the final corner of the Monza track).

*A small ramp is located in the gravel trap on the left hand side of the straight approaching the Dash Panel section, which requires a speed boosting item to use without losing speed. Two [[Item Box]]es are located on this ramp during Grand Prix mode.

*The last turn can also be cut off by using a speed boosting item and driving across the sand.
