History:
After being left out of any Battle Stage construction in the previous Kart Games, Bowser created the Big Donut in the midst of the Great Lava Seas that engulf parts of the Dark Land. When its popularity increased enough over the years to be featured in the latest installment of the Games, Bowser added some special features, such as his own Koopa Clown Car hovering in the center O.

Big Donut is just about everything it would appear to be. It is a huge donut-shaped Battle Stage. The center is full of inescapable lava, which is more dangerous than it appears. Other than that and some large walls most of this stage is open, which allows for both increased danger and increased inability to find anybody. The whole stage slopes towards the evil center, which doesn't necessarily increase the danger, but doesn't make it any easier.
The Stage returned in Mario Kart 7 as a Retro Battle Course. The big change is the addition of Air Boosts that allow players to fly across the diameter of the Donut. Take caution, though, as lightning or Blue Shells can make this a dangerous trip indeed. There are also air blowers and lava spouts to contend with in this journey. It is the only Battle Course in Mario Kart that allows for Air Travel. With the increased amount of players in 7 it also becomes a much more interesting Stage. Four players was never really enough here, it was very difficult to run into enemies while taking laps around the big loop. Playing with a higher number of Battlers, though, greatly increases the possibilities of chaos. A similar thing happened with a similarly shaped stage, Cookie Land when it went from Double Dash to Wii.
