One track has been unveiled so far, with more details expected closer to launch. Daisy Circuit from Mario Kart Wii has been upgraded, with enhanced visuals to fit in with the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe aesthetic.

The track includes hidden boost strips up staircases within buildings, a giant hairpin for ludicrous drifts and a marina.
