{{s|mariowiki|Mario Circuit}} is the name of a track that appears in every ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' game since ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Kart}}''~~; however~~, ~~the~~ stage's design does not resemble any Mario Circuit in particular. However, it appears to take inspiration from ''Super Mario Kart''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s {{s|mariowiki|Mario Circuit 2}}, which has a jump that overlaps another part of the track. The distant, tall mushrooms and trees with faces are also taken from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!}}''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s {{iw|mariowiki|Mario Circuit|GCN}}.

The overall design of this stage instead resembles {{s|mariowiki|Figure-8 Circuit}} in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}'' (which it is named after in ''Ultimate''). Figure-8 Circuit features a seating area for spectators, pipes in the background, and giant block structures (which originally appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}''). All these features are retained in this stage, but Figure-8 Circuit only had one seating area, while this stage features two. Additionally, the large sign which reads "Mario Circuit" (or "Mario Kart", in ''Ultimate'') is designed similarly to signs that appear throughout Figure-8 Circuit.

''Mario Kart DS'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}'' feature Download Play, which allows players who do not own the game to participate in local multiplayer~~; however~~, ~~Download Play restricts players~~ to ~~racing~~ as a Shy Guy. This stage includes Shy Guys as racers, which could be a reference to this feature. ~~However, the~~ Shy Guys could also simply serve as sort~~-of placeholders~~, as many characters in ''Mario Kart'' are already playable in ''Smash''.

The Shy Guys could also simply serve as placeholders of a sort, as many characters in ''Mario Kart'' are already playable in ''Smash''.

The design of the giant screen in the background is based on the map that was displayed on the Touch Screen during races in ''Mario Kart DS''. Pressing the "Y" button or tapping the screen with the stylus gave the player this view, along with the location and position of every racer. All of these features are retained here, though the original star motif is replaced with a [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Smash'' logo]] motif.
