This is a remix of the track that plays on the Luigi Raceway, Mario Raceway, Wario Stadium and Royal Raceway courses in Mario Kart 64. It begins with the "Start Grid Fanfare (Time Trial & Battle)" jingle from said game and overall has a jazzy synthesized style including an electric guitar solo. The music track returns in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour. In early soundtracks, this song was known as "Circuit" or "Circuit Select" and later on as "3 Raceways/Wario Stadium", but in Smash, it only names the first race course it plays on, "Luigi Raceway", which in Brawl was named "Luigi Circuit", a literal translation of the race course's name, but was corrected in SSB4 following the Mario Kart 64 localization of naming a Circuit a Raceway.

This theme is a remix of the Cloudtop Cruise theme from Mario Kart 8, essentially combining the normal and the 'Thundercloud' versions of the music from the original game into an orchestral rock remix. The Cloudtop Cruise theme itself contains a remix of the Gusty Garden Galaxy theme from Super Mario Galaxy. This song is rearranged by its original composer, Atsuko Asahi. Unlike the original, however, the second half includes a breakdown not found in the original and ends with a newly composed bridge and restarts rather than properly looping.
