NAMCO Circuit is the second track of the PAC-MAN Cup in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX.

Aside from Pac-Man, it features cameos of characters from Dig Dug, The Tower of Druaga, Galaga, and Mappy. It was added as part of the version 1.06 update, released in Japan on April 21, 2016, and internationally on December 17, 2016, and is available on 100cc or higher.
Course layout
The track begins in an area with animated 8-bit Pac-Man murals. Multiples of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde can be seen cheering the racers. After a 90 degree turn to the right, the racers will move through several Dash Panels across a group of billboards depicting art and the logos for Dig-Dug, Galaxian, New Rally-X, and Mappy. A slight left follows, entering the track's Dig Dug-themed area (marked by the game's logo), where large, glowing pop-up sprites of Template:Wikia, Pooka, and Template:Wikia can be seen, along with sprites of said characters moving across the walls on screens. After another slight left turn within the area, the racers make a large right U-turn into an entrance based off of Template:Wikia's head, entering an area based off of The Tower of Druaga, featuring various enemies from the game. As the racers make a soft left turn, a Template:Wikia appears before the player and casts a spell, causing the road to glow in a blue shade, of no consequence to the racers. This is followed by a sharp right leading to some Dash Panels that head out of the area and back into the main stadium, where several gigantic NAMCO arcade cabinets can be seen. After a soft right turn is a Glide Ramp, which launches the racers through a portal modeled after a Pac-Man arcade cabinet into a synthwave-themed area. Sprites from Mappy and Galaga can be seen all around. The racers will then make a wide left around a projection of the Special Flag, then through another portal leading back to the main stadium, followed by a sharp right U-turn to the finish line.
