Figure-8 Circuit
Template:Racecourse Figure-8 Circuit is a race course in Mario Kart DS that is exactly what it sounds like, a Figure-8, and thus looking like an 8. It's the first race course of the Mushroom Cup, as well as the location of the awards ceremony held after any cup. Missions 1-1 and 2-2 take place on this circuit. It is comparable to Luigi Circuit of numerous other Mario Kart games, in that it is simple, straightforward, and free of gimmicks.

Official Descriptions
- Instruction Booklet and Official Website: “This figure-eight shaped course boasts a wide racetrack with easy corners. It’s ideal for constant top-speed racing.”
- Official European Website: “With just two straights and two bends, your first stop in the mushroom cup season is as simple as they come (with the exception of Baby Park’s basic loop). So hit the gas, impress the crowds and save your strengths for the harder tracks to come.”
