'''''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''''' is a ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], published by [[Nintendo]] with development outsourced to [[Intelligent Systems]]. It is the third entry in the series and the first one to be released for a handheld, as well as the second ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise game and third overall Nintendo-published game released for the system. The game was released in 2001, on July 21 in Japan, August 27 in North America, and September 7 and 14 in Australia and Europe respectively. ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' combines the elements from its [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] and [[Nintendo 64]] predecessors, with the key feature of the ''Mario Kart'' series being the usage of items obtained from [[Item Box]]es in order for the operator to gain an advantage over the opponents being retained; additionally, it contains all the courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' allows up to four players to enjoy the game through the Game Link Cable, including a multiplayer mode that only requires one [[nwiki:Game Pak#Game Boy Advance|Game Pak]]; however, the single Game Pak-based multiplayer has heavy restrictions on the content available.

''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' was eventually re-released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] exclusively through the [[nwiki:Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program|Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program]] first in Oceania on December 15, 2011, then in other countries on December 16, 2011. ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' was re-released again on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in North America first on November 13, 2014, and for [[Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online]] as one of its launch titles on February 8, 2023. ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' is the only ''Mario Kart'' title to be developed by Intelligent Systems, as well as the last ''Mario Kart'' game where the drivers are sprites rather than models. This is one of the last entries in the ''Super Mario'' franchise to use the [[Nintendo 64]]-era art direction (which had been in place since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' in 1996), as Nintendo started to update the 3D art direction after 2001, starting with ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
