'''Mario Raceway''' ('''Mario Circuit''' in Japan) in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' is a race course found in the [[Flower Cup]], being the fourth and last race in the cup. The course features Mario's red cap on the top of the course's terrace, next to the starting line. The road is made of concrete, just like [[Luigi Raceway]] and [[Royal Raceway]]. Although the course has no pit hazards it's filled in rough grass, and running over them, will cause any kart to slow down. However, using a speed booster as a [[Mushroom]] or a [[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. | '''Mario Raceway''' ('''Mario Circuit''' in Japan) in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' is a race course found in the [[Flower Cup]], being the fourth and last race in the cup.

Appearance in Mario Kart 64
Mario Raceway (Mario Circuit in Japan) in Mario Kart 64 is a race course found in the Flower Cup, being the fourth and last race in the cup. The course features Mario's red cap on the top of the course's terrace, next to the starting line. The road is made of concrete, just like Luigi Raceway and Royal Raceway. Although the course has no pit hazards it's filled in rough grass, and running over them, will cause any kart to slow down. However, using a speed booster as a Mushroom or a Star, drivers can make shortcuts through the grass and dust. Piranha Plants 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.
Upon getting to the first turn, the racers will go near a hill to take a semi-circular turn surrounding a big toadstool. A long stretch of the road will come next, leading the racers to a curl S bend and pass through a Warp Pipe tunnel. The racers end crossing the finish line once they exit out of the pipe.
