{{for|the stage that originated in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''|Mario Circuit}}
'''Figure-8 Circuit''' ({{ja|エイトクロスサーキット|Eitokurosu Sākitto}}, ''8-Cross Circuit''), originally referred to as '''Mario Circuit''' ({{ja|マリオサーキット|Mario Sākitto}}, ''Mario Circuit''), is a playable stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.


'''Mario Circuit''' is a playable stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It has a simple layout, with a one base platform that extends all the way off the stage, and three floating platforms above it, arranged in a trapezoid shape. Every so often, [[Shy Guys]] in go-karts will drive from the background through the stage via the lower road, similar in concept to the F-Zero themed stages [[F-Zero Grand Prix: Mute City|Mute City]] and [[Port Town Aero Dive]]. They will also sometimes fly over the platforms on the upper road from the left, though players are alerted beforehand by a flashing warning arrow, akin to [[Eagleland: Onett|Onett]]. If characters are struck by the karts, they will take damage and neutral knockback and can even be [[Star KO]]'d at higher percentages. Additionally, the screen in the background will show the location of the [[Shy Guys]] on the circuit, making it possible to avoid the racers. The [[Shy Guys]] can be attacked and sent spinning out to the side of the screen.
In ''Smash 4'', it was renamed to '''Mario Circuit (Brawl)''' to distinguish it from [[Mario Circuit|the similarly named new stage]].  


Interestingly, there are graphics for the entire track. Visuals are inaccessible, even when [[Pause|pausing]] and changing the camera angle. However, such angles can be viewed by hacking.
In ''Ultimate'', it was renamed again to its current name to further distinguish it from the aforementioned ''Smash 4'' stage that is also in ''Ultimate'', and due to its strong resemblance to [[mariowiki:Figure-8 Circuit|the track of the same name]] from ''Mario Kart DS''. {{SSBU|Daisy}} is also fought here for her unlock battle.


This was the last stage that was first shown in trailers to be confirmed on the [[DOJO!!]]. Over a year had passed since its initial revelation, making Mario Circuit the stage with the longest duration between its trailer and DOJO!! confirmations.
==Stage overview==
The stage takes place on an intersection of a track that vaguely resembles ''{{s|mariowiki|Figure-8 Circuit}}'' in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}''. It has a simple layout, being a [[walk-off]] with solid ground making up the base of the stage. There are three [[Platform#Soft platforms|soft platforms]] above it, arranged in a trapezoid shape, with the platforms on the sides being walk-offs as well.


Mario Circuit is banned in tournaments due to [[Chain grab|chain-grabbers]] being able to chain throw an opponent off of the stage's sides.
At regular intervals, [[Shy Guy]]s in go-karts will drive from the background on the lower road, similar in concept to the F-Zero-themed stages {{SSBM|Mute City}} and [[Port Town Aero Dive]]. Some time later, they will fly over the platforms on the upper road from the left, though players are alerted beforehand by a flashing warning arrow, akin to [[Onett]]. If players are hit by the karts on the ground, they will take 15% damage and moderate vertical knockback, while the karts on the bridge will deal 10% damage and weak knockback. The Shy Guys can also be attacked, which will send them spinning out to the side of the screen and temporarily take them out of the race. Additionally, the screen in the background shows the location of the Shy Guys on the circuit, providing extra warning for their arrival.


===Songs in [[My Music]]===
===Ω forms and Battlefield form===
*''Mario Circuit''
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the [[Ω form]] of this stage consists of a new, raised platform in front of the standard version of the stage, which can be seen in the background. Shy Guys still race along the track but do not interfere with the fighters. Walk-offs are removed.
*''Luigi Circuit''
*''Waluigi Pinball''
*'''''Rainbow Road'''''
*''Mario Tennis/Mario Golf''
*'''''Excite Truck'''''
*'''''Title (3D Hot Rally)'''''


'''Songs in bold must be unlocked'''
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] are similar to ''Smash 4'''s Ω form; however, the stages hover above the racetrack, and they are resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form somewhat resemble the soft platforms of the normal form.

===Hazards Off===
With stage hazards turned off in ''Ultimate'', the Shy Guy karts do not appear. Accordingly, the screen in the background only displays the animated wallpaper, with the course map and rankings being absent. This change also affects the Battlefield and Omega forms

Mario Circuit is a track that is in every ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' ever since the original ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''; however, there are only a small amount resemblances in this stage to any of the Mario Circuits. One of these resemblances is in ''Super Mario Kart's'' Mario Circuit 2, which has a jump that overlaps another part of the track. The Shy Guys in this stage having to jump over the road onto to the other side could be a reference to Mario Circuit 2's jump. Another resemblance is that in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'s'' Mario Circuit there are giants mushrooms for decoration. Tall mushrooms can be seen in the background of this stage, but the mushrooms are much thinner and taller compared to the ones in ''Mario Kart 64''.
{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Circuit}} is the name of a track that appears in every ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' game since ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Kart}}'', but this stage's design does not resemble any Mario Circuit in particular. However, it appears to take inspiration from ''Super Mario Kart''{{'}}s {{iw|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 ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!}}''{{'}}s {{iw|mariowiki|Mario Circuit|GCN}}.
 
The overall design of this stage instead resembles {{iw|mariowiki|Figure-8 Circuit}} in ''{{iw|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, though they will only be able to race as a Shy Guy. This stage includes Shy Guys as racers, which could be a reference to this feature.


The overall design of this stage resembles Figure-8 Circuit in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Figure-8 Circuit features a seating area for spectators, pipes in the background, and giant block structures (which originally appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''). Also a small sign that say "Nintendo" is seen in Figure-8 Circuit. All these features, including the "Nintendo" sign, are retained in this stage, but Figure-8 Circuit only had one seating area while this stage features two. Also in ''Mario Kart DS'' if friends wanted to play ''Mario Kart DS'' together but some didn't have ''Mario Kart DS'', they could still connect together through ''Download & Play''; however, the people who didn't have the game have no choice but to play as a Shy Guy. This stage features the drivers as Shy Guys and this could be also be a reference to ''Mario Kart DS''. The trees that have faces in this stage are possibly a reference to the trees in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash''.  
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 {{button|3DS|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 motif of the cup the race is a part of is replaced with a [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Smash'' logo]] motif.

The design of the giant screen in the background is based on the map that was displayed on the ''DS'' Touch Screen during races in ''Mario Kart DS''. Pressing the "Y" button or tapping the screen with the stylus gave you this view, along with the location and position of every racer. All these features are retained here.
==Tournament legality==
Mario Circuit is banned in tournaments due to its walk-off [[blast line]]s, which, in ''Brawl'', allow [[Chain grab|chain-grabbers]] to chain throw an opponent off of the stage's sides. In addition, the karts are overly powerful stage hazards, and gameplay centers around avoiding the karts, as well as throwing opponents into them.


==Trivia==
==Glitch==
*In the trailer that originally revealed Mario Circuit, the Shy Guys were all driving white karts and the screen in the background was totally blank. Since then, the radar has been added to the screen and the eight Shy Guys participating are now paired, with the kart colors being either green, blue, orange or white, suggesting that the stage is part of a Team Race. Every Shy Guy is still bright red, though.
While using {{SSBB|Link}} or {{SSBB|Toon Link}}'s [[Triforce Slash]]es, if a Shy Guy is hit by the final strike and only the final strike of the [[Final Smash]], the Shy Guy will continue to go around the circuit, but it will be in slow motion. It will still show the kart's position on the monitor in the background but it will be far behind the group. Even though it is moving so slow, it will still deal normal damage and knockback.
*When the [[announcer]] finishes the 3-second countdown to the battle, the song will play when the match officially starts. This refers to the ''Mario Kart'' series itself, as the music for a track or battle arena would begin immediately when Lakitu finished the countdown to the race or battle.
*Players can affect the way the race turns out. If the player attacks or fling themselves in front of anyone except the Shy Guy in the lead, the leading Shy Guy could get so far ahead, that as it flies over the stage, the others are coming below it.
*When a Shy Guy is hit by the player, it spins out until it is off screen, meaning if the player hits one on the far right side of the stage, it will spin out until it goes off screen on the left side.
*If the [[Ice Climbers (SSBB)|Ice Climbers]] use their [[Final Smash]], [[Iceberg]], on this level, it will have no effect on the karts, as they will simply drive straight through the ice. The same goes with [[Jigglypuff (SSBB)|Jigglypuff]]'s [[Puff Up]], since its body expanding will let the karts go through it instead of being pushed away. Despite this Final Smash being a non-damaging move (though the shrinking could still wipe them out). Similarly, the karts are unaffected by [[bumper]]s. [[Cook Kirby]] does not have any effect on them because they are obstacles.
*If [[Andross]] is released from an [[Assist Trophy]], the lower part of his face will be below ground.
*In ''Mario Kart DS'', on the Touch Screen map, the logo of a particular cup will float about underneath the map and names (for example, multiple mushrooms will float around for the Mushroom Cup, stars for Star Cup, and so on). In ''SSBB'', the symbol of the [[Super Smash Bros. series]] is displayed instead.
*In ''Mario Kart DS'', it is impossible for every player in a race to be Shy Guy without the use of an Action Replay code, as the player who started the room must be one of the twelve other characters.

*In the files of ''Ultimate'', the stage is referred to as "Kart_CircuitX".
*Shy Guys do not race on the stage when hazards are off, even in Battlefield/Ω form. This makes Figure-8 Circuit’s Battlefield and Ω variants one of two stages where the Battlefield and Ω variants have differences between hazards on and hazardless versions, the other being [[Hollow Bastion]] (where the stage’s Battlefield/Ω forms do not transform into Dive of the Heart when hazards are off).

For the stage that originated in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, see Mario Circuit.

Figure-8 Circuit (エイトクロスサーキット, 8-Cross Circuit), originally referred to as Mario Circuit (マリオサーキット, Mario Circuit), is a playable stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

In Smash 4, it was renamed to Mario Circuit (Brawl) to distinguish it from the similarly named new stage.

In Ultimate, it was renamed again to its current name to further distinguish it from the aforementioned Smash 4 stage that is also in Ultimate, and due to its strong resemblance to the track of the same name from Mario Kart DS. Daisy is also fought here for her unlock battle.

Stage overview[edit]

The stage takes place on an intersection of a track that vaguely resembles Figure-8 Circuit in Mario Kart DS. It has a simple layout, being a walk-off with solid ground making up the base of the stage. There are three soft platforms above it, arranged in a trapezoid shape, with the platforms on the sides being walk-offs as well.

At regular intervals, Shy Guys in go-karts will drive from the background on the lower road, similar in concept to the F-Zero-themed stages Mute City and Port Town Aero Dive. Some time later, they will fly over the platforms on the upper road from the left, though players are alerted beforehand by a flashing warning arrow, akin to Onett. If players are hit by the karts on the ground, they will take 15% damage and moderate vertical knockback, while the karts on the bridge will deal 10% damage and weak knockback. The Shy Guys can also be attacked, which will send them spinning out to the side of the screen and temporarily take them out of the race. Additionally, the screen in the background shows the location of the Shy Guys on the circuit, providing extra warning for their arrival.

Ω forms and Battlefield form[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Ω form of this stage consists of a new, raised platform in front of the standard version of the stage, which can be seen in the background. Shy Guys still race along the track but do not interfere with the fighters. Walk-offs are removed.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Ω form and Battlefield form are similar to Smash 4's Ω form; however, the stages hover above the racetrack, and they are resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form somewhat resemble the soft platforms of the normal form.

Hazards Off[edit]

With stage hazards turned off in Ultimate, the Shy Guy karts do not appear. Accordingly, the screen in the background only displays the animated wallpaper, with the course map and rankings being absent. This change also affects the Battlefield and Omega forms

Origin[edit]

Figure-8 Circuit as it appears in Mario Kart DS.

Mario Circuit is the name of a track that appears in every Mario Kart game since Super Mario Kart, but this stage's design does not resemble any Mario Circuit in particular. However, it appears to take inspiration from Super Mario Kart's 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 Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'s Mario Circuit.

The overall design of this stage instead resembles Figure-8 Circuit in 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 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 Mario Kart 7 feature Download Play, which allows players who do not own the game to participate in local multiplayer, though they will only be able to race as a Shy Guy. This stage includes Shy Guys as racers, which could be a reference to this feature.

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 motif of the cup the race is a part of is replaced with a Smash logo motif.

Tournament legality[edit]

Mario Circuit is banned in tournaments due to its walk-off blast lines, which, in Brawl, allow chain-grabbers to chain throw an opponent off of the stage's sides. In addition, the karts are overly powerful stage hazards, and gameplay centers around avoiding the karts, as well as throwing opponents into them.

Glitch[edit]

While using Link or Toon Link's Triforce Slashes, if a Shy Guy is hit by the final strike and only the final strike of the Final Smash, the Shy Guy will continue to go around the circuit, but it will be in slow motion. It will still show the kart's position on the monitor in the background but it will be far behind the group. Even though it is moving so slow, it will still deal normal damage and knockback.

Trivia[edit]

General[edit]

  • Some items and Final Smashes can't affect the karts on the track.
    • When Iceberg is used, for example, the karts will simply drive straight through the ice.
    • If Jigglypuff's Puff Up is used, karts will go through Jigglypuff while it's expanding (though shrinking could still wipe them out).
    • Cook Kirby also doesn't have any effect on them; this is because they are obstacles.
    • They are also unaffected by Bumpers.
  • If Andross is summoned from an Assist Trophy, the lower part of his face will be below ground.
  • POW Blocks are able to hit Shy Guys that are behind the stage.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

  • This was the last stage that was first shown in trailers to be confirmed on the DOJO!!. Over a year had passed since its initial revelation, making Mario Circuit the stage with the longest duration between its trailer and DOJO!! confirmations.
  • In the trailer that originally revealed Mario Circuit, the Shy Guys were all driving white karts and the screen in the background was blank.
  • If a song directly from any Mario Kart game is playing on this stage, it will only begin playing after the pre-match timer is finished, just like in a standard Mario Kart race.
  • As pointed out on the DOJO!!, the entire track is present, despite most of it not being viewable, even when pausing and changing the camera angle. However, it can be viewed by hacking.

Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

  • This is the only stage to have something other than "64" in parentheses in its name.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

  • Color TV-Game 15 and Devil can only be summoned from an Assist Trophy on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage. Additionally, Abra and Marshadow can only be summoned from Poké Balls on the stage's Battlefield and Omega forms.
  • In the files of Ultimate, the stage is referred to as "Kart_CircuitX".
  • Shy Guys do not race on the stage when hazards are off, even in Battlefield/Ω form. This makes Figure-8 Circuit’s Battlefield and Ω variants one of two stages where the Battlefield and Ω variants have differences between hazards on and hazardless versions, the other being Hollow Bastion (where the stage’s Battlefield/Ω forms do not transform into Dive of the Heart when hazards are off).
