Super Circuit Battle Course 1

History:

Mario always overextended himself, attempting to be a pioneer in Battle Stages as well as Racetrack Ownership. He retooled his Battle Course 4 from the Original Kart Games into Battle Course 1, largely simplifying it in the interest of accelerating the mayhem. It worked and this has been one of the more successful Battle Stages yet.

Super Circuit:

This track is really similar to Battle Course 4 from SMK, but drastically shrunk and simplified. Instead of twenty coloured barriers there are only eight. The course keeps its sandy pit in the middle to slow down wandering battlers and make them more susceptible to chaos. Other than that it's awfully simple, which means it has great potential to let Battlers be Battlers.

The Stage returned in 7 as a Retro Battle Course. Not much changed besides the addition of Rocky Wrenches to assault players. There isn't much of a reason for this other than to spice up an otherwise uninteresting course. Still, courses like this that fill themselves with the hectic mania of Battle tend to be the better ones.
