Ribbon Road makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart 8 as a classic course in the add-on pack, Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8, as well as in the base content of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as the second race of the Bell Cup. This allows them to skip the part of the course that leads to the second ramp. From the first large ramp, the player must drive over all of the Dash Panels and take a sharp right turn. This course has only one shortcut that can be used without a Mushroom. It is straight and it leads the player back into the finish/starting line. The first section of this road is straight, but there is a very minor curve to the left that leads the player even further down the course until they meet a curve to the right that leads into the road with the finish line.

There is a slightly straight, but curvy road in the last straight road before the finish line. After the twisty road is another twisty road past the curve to the right that leads the player southwest the course and two more minor curves to the left, that leads the player into the southernmost part of the course. Past the ramp is a short straight road that turns left into a straight road, and another curve to the left that will also lead the player into Dash Panels and a ramp that will speed the player past a previous section of the course.Īfter the second and final ramp is a curve to the right that leads the player into a twisty, but one-directional road that has off road and presents to slow the player. It is risky and may land the racer off the track, but it is useful for getting ahead of other racers. Here a shortcut may be performed if the player takes all the Dash Panels and then makes a sharp turn to the right after jumping. It is a circular curve that leads the player into Dash Panels and makes the player boost past and over the section of the road they were in.

The original course as featured in Mario Kart: Super Circuit is set in a world made entirely of craft materials and presents, and begins in a straight red road that soon leads to a curve to the right.
