Mario Kart: Super Circuit (Super Circuit tracks)Ĭompletion awards in the Mario Kart series 3 Completion awards in the Mario Kart series.In Super Mario Kart the Special Cup lacks a unique emblem entirely, and instead features a Super Mushroom, a Fire Flower, and a Super Star, combining the emblems of the Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, and Star Cup respectively. Originally the Special Cup's emblem was a stylized 'S', which was first used in Mario Kart 64 where it appears as a red 'S' in a teal diamond, and carried over into Mario Kart: Super Circuit as a sparkling green 'S' (although the instruction booklet uses the design from 64). The Special Cup's emblem is a smiling golden crown, which was first used in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and standardized as the cup's emblem since.

In Super 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) in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, it is unlocked by winning the four previous cups, each by class in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, it is unlocked after the player finishes first in the Star Cup in 100cc from Mario Kart DS onwards, it is unlocked once the player claims a trophy in the Star Cup. The Special Cup's courses tend to be the longest and most difficult in the game, and always finish with a Rainbow Road starting in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Bowser's Castle is always the penultimate course before Rainbow Road (except in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit).Īside from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe where the cup is available from the start, the criteria to unlock the Special Cup varies by game, although the Star Cup always must be completed successfully. In Mario Kart: Super Circuit, it is the fifth and last of the standard cups, with the Extra Cups being unlocked after its completion and the Extra Special Cup being the final cup.

It is the fourth and final cup in Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and the last nitro cup since Mario Kart DS. The Special Cup is a cup in the Mario Kart series that exclusively features new courses.
