Figure-8 Circuit (stage)
Figure-8 Circuit (formerly known asMario Circuit) is astage inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, and reappears inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. The stage takes place on an intersection of a track that visually resemblesFigure-8 Circuit fromMario Kart DS. InUltimate, the stage was renamed to Figure-8 Circuit, differentiating it from theWii U stage of the same name.
The stage is set up with two levels; the bottom level, which is a flat surface across the race course, and the upper level, which takes place on a few platforms of the race course. On occasion, go-karts driven byShy Guys (the ones from DS Download Play ofMario Kart DS) race along the back or sides of the stage, crashing into characters, damaging them greatly. When they come in from the back, they hit the bottom level, and when coming from the left, they hit the upper level. Like inMute City andOnett fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee, the Shy Guys can be knocked aside with items, such as theHome-Run Bat. In this case, it is possible for players to affect how the race plays out, allowing the lead Shy Guy to gain more distance should the other Shy Guys be knocked out. In the background of the stage, there is a big screen which shows the racers' positions on the track (by whichfighters can guide themselves as to where to stay, if on the upper or the lower section). TheΩ form of the stage takes place in front of the normal stage on a raised platform. Shy Guys can be seen but do not interfere with the fighters. Shy Guy racers do not appear in8-Player Smash versions of the stage.

Notes[edit]
- In the trailer that originally revealed this stage, the Shy Guys were all driving white karts and the screen in the background was 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.
- InMario Kart DS, on the Touch Screen map, the logo of a particular cup floats about underneath the map and names (for example, multiple mushrooms float around for theMushroom Cup, stars forStar Cup, and so on). InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, the symbol of theSuper Smash Bros. series is displayed instead.
- InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, the game logo used to identify the origin for this stage is the olderMario Kart series logo, used up untilMario Kart Arcade GP 2. InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, the logo is the current version used fromMario Kart DS onward.
- As shown on theSmash Bros. DOJO!! website, the entirety of the race track is fully modeled, but cannot be viewed in-game without camera-hacking.
