All Mario Kart Cups Ranked From Worst to Best (With Math!)

The Mario Kart games have some great tracks spread across all of the cups. But have you ever stopped to wonder which of these cups has the best selection of tracks? I have, and so I've decided to try to work out which cups have the best and worst selections - using Maths!

[@WATCHFORRAIN]

@@PresumptuousPopplio I'm referring to mk8 Toad's Turnpike which is rated 55. It is simply a boring track compared to its other trafic counter part, Moon view Highway, which was only criticized for being to hard due to the cars and its "boring" layout. Yet he still rates a literal figure 8 with some cars as an after thought higher. It just shows that he only focusses on casual play and anything remotely difficult or unfair is considered bad.

[@greenyoshboi5061]

@P1 yeah like on MKWii, Rainbow Road is so hard for me to beat and he was like “it’s very challenging” like I don’t get it. I honestly like the DS Rainbow Road more than the others, it’s my favorite, and I also like the N64 Rainbow Road remake in MK8D more than the one from MKWii.

I'll never understand the hate for Mario Kart Stadium from MK8. Yes it's an easy track but it feels like a celebration, to kick off the game. The atmosphere and music is incredible, the glider and anti gravity moments have great lead ups while being non imposing, and of all the regular courses it feels the most like an actual kart track. It blurs the line between normal and crazy perfectly.

[@noahplayssomegames]

This concept was pretty interesting to watch seeing how another individual’s track values stack up. The “math” though, is obviously going to weigh on preference almost entirely, so this video is more of a “for fun” averaging exercise than a concrete list that would need a few more factors considered, (such as how the course position is relayed in each cup or how the collection of courses work together to provide a good mix of gameplay diversity as examples) but what mattered most was that the video and commentary were still entertaining. I would have to say my personal favorite cup in the entire Mario Kart series is the All Cup Tour from Mario Kart Double Dash!!. Is it fair to even include it? Nah, but it IS a grand prix cup, and I have a soft spot for this one off inclusion. The fun already begins when choosing your favorite character and kart combo you’ve discovered to stick with to the end of the ultimate race. I love how it starts with Luigi’s Circuit and it always ends on Rainbow Road, which are personally two of my high picks in the series. Every course in between is unpredictably randomized, and it’s just fun counting down the stages, guessing which track the game could throw at you next, and tally your points into the hundreds. It’s honestly pretty fun when my own less experienced or more difficult tracks get queued, like Sherbet Land or Wario’s Colosseum as my own examples. You know they’ll show up every time, but when they do, it just fills me up with an exciting “Aww sh*t. Here we go again…” energy to try and handle the situation. It actually turned some of my once least preferred to play courses into my top favorites, like Dino Dino Jungle, Rainbow Road and -I don’t even know how it won me over- Wario Colosseum. It’s not perfect though. Playing the tour on 50cc or even 100cc makes each race take a much longer time that it needs, with minimal actual challenge from your competition. Getting two similar themed stages in a row can be a little disappointing too. And to be honest, I usually just slap either Petey Piranha or King Boo as a default character on the team for the added item pool diversity for dealing with sixteen consecutive races, but I wouldn’t lie in saying that if I could only choose one prix cup to ever play again (as in, the way how it is intended), either 150cc or Mirror All Cup Tour has just gotta be the only answer from me. It has to be my most replayed cup in the entire series purely for a fun time. - Noah

In my opinion the lightning cup has never failed in any game it's been in. Always has great retro picks

[@mailpaper7754]

DS' lightning cup was a little weak compared to most cause of the selection but yeah I agree, the lightning cups are always fun and memorable.

[@tony6666]

Mario Kart Wii's special cup is easily my favorite cup ever. It's the only cup with 4 tracks I love

[@xdlmao42]

@@lordroy88 I can't remember the tracks for that one. I don't play MK8 enough

Lord Iggy 88 Mario kart wii has the best tracks and it’s really not that close ion know why you call us fanboys for having a correct opinion

[@FusionCyborg]

Best Cup from every Mario Kart (Because Video Too long didn't watch.) Super Mario Kart: Special Cup Mario Kart 64: Special Cup Mario Kart Super Circuit: Lightning Cup Mario Kart Double Dash: Special Cup Mario Kart DS: Special Cup Mario Kart Wii: Special Cup Mario Kart 7: Star Cup Mario Kart 8: Lightning Cup (In My Opinion.) The Best Cup is the Wii U / Switch Lightning Cup. DS Tick-Tock Clock (3) 3DS Piranha Plant Slide (7) Wii Grumble Volcano (8) N64 Rainbow Road (1) (3+7+8+1)/4 = 4.75

[@yvonneharbpoppen7283]

TTC and N64 RR kinda suck lmao

[@boop53]

MK7s retro cups are the best in the series. Luigis mansion? Coconut mall? Maple treeway? Daisy cruiser! Yes please!

[@kittypaisley2029]

GCN Yoshi Circuit is my favorite Mario Kart course of all time.

I think dlc cups not having retro tracks kinda give them an unfair advantage

You should rank every track/cup in the booster course pass once it's finished

N64 Bowser’s Castle should be waaaaaaaayyy higher

[@TroboTicTac]

Mario kart DS has the Worst retro tracks imo. Mk7 ruined all Wii tracks Mk8 had great tracks but I hated the gameplay and PHYSICS Mkw is the best mk imo because of the great tracks (only 2 tracks I dont like) the best gameplay gameplay and it's super fun messing with the PHYSICS and mkw had the best shortcuts in any Mario kart game, plus addicting online play. Mk7 was just meh

[@jordanlewis1163]

Never watched your vids before but subbed before the vid started because I know how long this would have taken

I hope you're willing to talk about the booster pack cups/tracks in 8 when they're all released. Maple Treeway is in one of the cups after all

[@nonotatalllol]

I’ve learnt something, if a cup has piranha plant pipeway, it’s automatically good

[@jumblybumble]

Fun Fact: Mario Kart 7's Star Cup is the only cup in all of Mario Kart to have all of its tracks get their names altered for the PAL Version.

I'm so glad we got waluigi pinball as a mk8 dlc remake, the new version is one of my favorite tracks of all time! (along with neo bowser city - maybe my #1 of all, koopa cape, mushroom gorge, wii's rainbow road, music park, and big blue)

[@zephyrurchin4763]

Wow. Talk about putting it into perspective. I gotta hand it to ya, Jamie. You've done your homework. I'm not saying this is anything remotely close to my rankings of all the tracks, but I'm not saying it isn't. Honestly, I don't know if I'm gonna find out anytime soon. This is just... You have got to be the first person on KZbin to do this.
