Circuit Maps[]
Mario Circuit- The red dots signify piranha plants and the red line with blue lines around it are speed boosts.
Shy Guy Factory- Yellow part is the outside, the red is the factory's interior section.
Boo Mansion- Light Green signifies outside and black signifies inside of the mansion.
Snifit Falls- The light blue/cyan path is like the river in Koopa Cape and the gray path is a normal road.
Koopa Isle- You might wanna avoid the deep parts of the ocean, you'll drown!
Peach Circuit- A basic circuit, just avoid the patches of green
Fly Guy Skyway- Enjoy bouncing on the clouds, but remember, there are NO fences or railings to stop you from falling...
Bowser Jr's Airship- Watch out for the Mega Piranha Plant and the cannonballs shot out of the cannon while on the top and inside of the ship.
Shroom Circuit- Going in the water slows you down, there are trees to stop you from moving, don't you wish you were in Town? Long story short: Avoid the trees!
Luigi Circuit- One sentence: AVOID THE TREES AND GRASS!
Kong Mountains- The dark tray is the mountains and the light blue, the sky!
Bullet Ship- Although it may not look like one, you have to avoid the Banzai Bills!
Diddy Kong Raceway- Race through the jungle where the Kong's live. Make sure you glide above the tree trunks and avoid the trees and bushes.
Boom Boom Airship- Avoid the Mini Boom Boom's shells which they throw across the track.
Yoshi Falls 2- You remember the first? Well the second one is here... but harder!
Wario Waves- Wario had his Shipyard, but now the tsunami in his town has occurred! Avoid the deepest parts of the tsunami!
Petey Dock- Petey Piranha has a dock? Who knew!
Desert Towers- 2 paths, 2 laps. The first and second lap take two different paths!
Birdo Hills- Looks cute, but isn't! Don't let the beautiful surroundings fool you... She's waiting to attack!
Toad Forest- It's too easy? Moving trees and huge biddy buds blocking your path, maybe even your view!
Boom Boom Fortress- Like Bowser's Castle, except easier and no lava!
Koopa Isle- The Koopas have taken over Delfino Airport. Drive round this be achy circuit. Avoid the jets.
Wuhu Waves- Surf the waves of WUHU Island!
Waluigi FOrt- The confirmed art of Waluigi Fort! Take the treacherous turns of Waluigi's fort!
Rainbow Road- Drive carefully around this unfenced track! And avoid the Star in the Light Purple section of the track.
Daisy Lake- How nice, Daisy owns a lake!
Bowser's Castle- From the Castle Garden to the Throne Room and then the Dungeon; avoid the Piranha Plants.
