Shy Guy Falls
The fourth and last course of the Flower Cup, Shy Guy Falls takes place in a cliffside area with majestic waterfalls and exhilarating anti-gravity sections.
Twisted Mansion
Over the years, the Mario Kart series has had its fair share of spooky-themed tracks, from haunted bridges to scary forests. But many of them involve driving through haunted houses. The latest is called Twisted Mansion. The track’s environment, music, and background characters all fit the spooky aesthetic perfectly.
Toad Harbour
Toad Harbour takes place in and around a picturesque seaside town, complete with a shopping centre, a tram station, and a marina filled with sailboats. There are multiple routes to take, and racers will tear through the docks, markets, and side streets as they jockey for first place.
Mario Circuit
Mario Circuit is a twisting road suspended above a grassy canyon, carved into the shape of a Möbius strip. This is not only a unique and clever way to show off the new anti-gravity mechanic, but, as a bonus, since it looks like the number ‘8’, it also ties into the game’s numeric title very nicely.
N64 Toad’s Turnpike
Toad’s Turnpike is less of a racetrack and more of a busy highway. Karts probably shouldn’t drive on a public road at night, but that hasn’t stopped Mario and his pals.

GBA Mario Circuit
Based on the track of the same name from 2001’s Mario Kart: Super Circuit on the Game Boy Advance, Mario Circuit is a short, simple course, but it features a nod to a long-forgotten Nintendo toy.
Wii Moo Moo Meadows
Whereas the first track of the Mushroom Cup, Mario Kart Stadium, was a loud and boisterous affair, Moo Moo Meadows, the first track of the Shell Cup, exudes a quiet, quaint aura.

Thwomp Ruins
High in the mountains, above a sea of mist, lies Thwomp Ruins, the ancient remains of a long-lost civilisation. Instead of preserving the ruins for future generations, they were turned into a racetrack for Mario and his crew to zoom through with reckless abandon
Sweet Sweet Canyon
A landscape made entirely out of candies, chocolate, cookies, cakes, and other confectionery. That’s what awaits racers in Sweet Sweet Canyon. Take some time to admire the scenery and you will see that every piece of the track is dessert-ified, from off-road frosting that slows you down to a conspicuous doughnut signalling a shortcut.
