Mario Circuit has also been revealed as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (looking like Figure-8 Circuit), with the stage taking place on the 8-Figure intersection. The stage is set up with two levels; the bottom level, which is a flat surface across the race course, and the upper level, which takes place on a few platforms of the race course. On occasion, go-karts driven by Shy Guys will race along that back or sides of the stage, crashing into the characters, damaging them greatly. When they come in from the back, they will hit the bottom level, and when coming from the sides, they will hit the upper level. Players can keep track of where the Shy Guys are from the screen in the back of the stage. However, like in Mute City and Onett from Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Shy Guy's can be knocked aside with items, such as the Home-Run Bat.
