Mario Circuit (マリオサーキット, Mario Circuit) is a stage based on the course of the same name from Mario Kart 8 in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The stage takes place on a set of platforms that move around the track, and will stop certain parts of the track, similar to Mute City, Port Town Aero Dive, and the 3DS-exclusive Mario Kart stage Rainbow Road. Shy Guys drive around the track, which is a reoccurring theme in the Mario Kart stages. Because of the track's antigravity effect, the road will sometimes be above or to the side of the fighters. Unlike in Mario Galaxy, fighters are not affected by the unusual gravity.
Ω Form
The Omega form uses the same base as the original version. Like many touring stages, the platform doesn't stop at any location.
Origin
Mario Circuit is the name of a track that is in every Mario Kart ever since the original Super Mario Kart. This stage is an accurate recreation of Mario Kart 8's Mario Circuit, which is a prime example of the twisting, F-Zero-esque course layouts made possible by the game's new anti-gravity mechanic.
Mario Kart DS is the first game that allowed Shy Guys as playable characters, but only through DS Download Play. If friends wanted to play the game together, but somebody didn't have the game, they could still connect together through DS Download Play; however, the people who didn't have the game had no choice but to play as a Shy Guy. It wasn't until Mario Kart 7 that Shy Guys were playable on through the character select screen. In this stage, the karts are driven by Shy Guys, and the karts they drive are the Standard Karts in the game.

Trivia
- If a fighter is caught by a Boss Galaga or Beetle before the stage scrolls to the section where the road is above the fighters, but breaks free as the stage scrolls to that point, they may get stuck "inside" the road and constantly be knocked back and forth, taking damage until they are blasted outside of the road.
