What is the name of the F-Zero themed track in Mario Kart 8?

The story behind the answer

The F-Zero-themed track in Mario Kart 8 is Mute City.

Mute City appears as downloadable content in the Egg Cup, part of the first Mario Kart 8 DLC pack. It is named after the futuristic city that serves as one of the signature settings in Nintendo's F-Zero racing series. The course uses high-speed straightaways, sharp turns, boost strips, and anti-gravity sections to echo F-Zero's faster racing style.

The track also includes visual and audio callbacks to F-Zero. Its futuristic skyline, course design, music, and racing presentation distinguish it from Mario Kart's usual Mushroom Kingdom settings. Mute City was joined by Big Blue in the second DLC pack, giving Mario Kart 8 two tracks inspired by F-Zero.

Hyrule Circuit is instead themed around The Legend of Zelda, while Rainbow Road is a recurring Mario Kart course family. Mute City is therefore the single canonical answer to this question.
