Special Cup

From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia

The Special Cup logo inMario Kart 8

TheSpecial Cup is acup in theMario Kart series that exclusively featuresnew courses. It is the fourth and final cup inSuper Mario Kart,Mario Kart 64, andMario Kart: Double Dash!!, and the last nitro cup sinceMario Kart DS. InMario Kart: Super Circuit, it is the fifth and last of the standard cups, with theExtra Cups being unlocked after its completion and the Extra Special Cup being the final cup. The Special Cup's courses tend to be the longest and most difficult in the game, and always finish with aRainbow Road; starting inMario Kart: Super Circuit,Bowser's Castle is always the penultimate course before Rainbow Road (except inMario Kart Live: Home Circuit).

Aside fromMario Kart 64 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe where the cup is available from the start, the criteria to unlock the Special Cup varies by game, although theStar Cup always must be completed successfully. InSuper Mario Kart, the player may unlock it by winning each of the other three cups in 100cc (though it will be unavailable for the 50cc class); inMario Kart: Super Circuit, it is unlocked by winning the four previous cups, each by class; inMario Kart: Double Dash!!, it is unlocked after the player finishes first in the Star Cup in 100cc; fromMario Kart DS onwards, it is unlocked once the player claims a trophy in the Star Cup.

The Special Cup's emblem is a smiling golden crown, which was first used inMario Kart: Double Dash!! and standardized as the cup's emblem since. Originally the Special Cup's emblem was a stylized "S", which was first used inMario Kart 64 where it appears as a red "S" in a teal diamond, and carried over intoMario Kart: Super Circuit as a sparkling green "S" (although the instruction booklet uses the design from64). InSuper Mario Kart the Special Cup lacks a unique emblem entirely, and instead features aSuper Mushroom, aFire Flower, and aSuper Star, combining the emblems of theMushroom Cup,Flower Cup, and Star Cup respectively.

Mario Kart Wii trading card of the Special Cup.

Mario Kart 64 website: "As you'd expect, the Special Cup contains the most challenging courses in Mario Kart 64."
Mario Kart Wii trading card: "Two Special Cup tracks, Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road, have been Special Cup stalwarts. This time around the names may be the same, but the layouts are new & improved—and they're no cakewalk. In fact, these could be some of the most difficult tracks in Mario Kart Wii."

In the Time Trial and VS modes ofSuper Mario Kart, the player can access the Special Cup before unlocking it by pressing buttons in this sequence:.
In the Chinese versions ofMario Kart 64 andMario Kart: Super Circuit, the Special Cup is called the "iQue Cup", named after the China-exclusiveiQue Player home console.
IfGrand Prix mode inMario Kart Wii is highlighted on the menu, the Special Cuptrophy from that game can be seen in the background.

- In addition, it is the only one of the eight whose emblem is not an obtainable item in the series.
