We have once again gotten a stage confirmation!

This time, it's the Mario Circuit. It was in past videos, so we knew the basics, but now we know the whole story.

The fight takes place at the crossing of the Figure 8 track. When
Shy Guy's come from behind, then they go across the ground. When they go from side to side, they jump over the tallest platform.

Since it would be a little hard to tell where they are otherwise, Sakurai has given us a little board towards the back of the screen showing the relative position of the racers.

Also, Sakurai has said that we will be able to wipe out the karts.

The Mario Circuit stage appears! Of course, we HAVE shown it briefly in past movies...

It’s a so-called figure-eight course, and you do battle at the crossing of the 8.

It hurts when the karts racing around the track hit you. They come in from the side and from the back of the screen, so be careful.

When they come from the front, look out below.

When they come from the side, look out above.

The karts are serious about their race. You can get a general idea of their location on the screen in the back, so pay attention to it.

You can actually make them wipe out, too.

    It sounds like fun to me! I just wonder how fast the lil shy guys are gonna come flying through and hitting the players (or not hitting if they avoid).

    Now...to continue to curse Nintendo for delaying the Europe and co. release.

      Patience my fellow gamer.

      Seems like a fun stage to play on. Looks pretty similar to the F-Zero stage on Melee, which was pretty chaotic but I played on that stage quite a bit.

    Very glad to see that they finally gave us an update on it. I know myself was wondering when they would do it since it was in one of the old trailers for the game. The stage looks great.

    Yay! It's just like mute city except you don't move on the stage. But you do in Delfino Plaza, and if you put Delfino plaza and circuit city together it would be twice as better than mute city itself!

    They should have an event on this level where you have to smash a certian amount of shy-guys.

    This should be awesome. After seeing it in one of the first videos, I already presumed that this was a level, glad to hear that it was confirmed.

    My thoughts exactly. The fact that you have the ability to make the vehicles wipe out is a neat idea. It's also similar to Mute City from Melee, which was a fairly decent stage in the past.

    Nice update. Adding in things like this will definitely make it more exciting, and leaves room for people to imagine what will they tell us next?
