DK Pass FINALLY Gets the Update it Deserves

In this video, I revamp DK Pass, a classic Mario Kart DS track, to see what it would look like in Mario Kart 8 if it made it into the Booster Course Pass.

Good news, AirMate has got the track looking fantastic in MK8DX on Twitter: twitter.com/i/status/1736557768163651739

[@eddog6666]

Actually there is one spot where an anti-gravity could go without ruining the track. The Ice tunnel.

[@RevolutionFalls]

Next is Toad’s factory

[@ddnava96]

Second this! It's one of my favorite MK tracks of all time

[@Png_gaming]

This sounds so commanding, like saying “you WILL make Toads factory.” I’m sure it will be next only because of this comment.

[@weegeedollgaming]

YES! My favourite, and should’ve been in the bcp instead of FREAKING Daisy Circuit.

[@callmerei]

No Tour model.

[@Parakarry077]

Yesss

[@starrstruck]

watching him try to recreate the tri geometry made me feel pain because there's a blender feature called Tris to Quads that changes every selected tri into a quad without changing the object's shape

[@joshslater2426]

You’re quite good for someone who’s never made custom tracks before. I wouldn’t mind seeing a mock-up of what Lakeside Park or Broken Pier would look like in the Booster Course Pass art style.

[@WorldLoveGaming]

As someone who's attempted to port SNES Bowser Castle 3 to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe before it got to the BCP, I have mad respect for your UV mapping dedication! I love your work!

[@signofmars]

Absolutely banger, so glad this showed up in my Recommended feed. I’ve been looking for videos to demystify some of the modeling and texturing process, but it’s so much more compelling and helpful to see it in the context of a ~real world~ (debatable! 😂) project as opposed to a tutorial or a demo file. Excited to go back and watch the previous video too!

[@JemarcusTheLamb87]

This guy is so good. Luigi circuit was a mind boggling custom track, so this one is gonna be great.

[@EliteOcto]

Awesome! Personally i think it would be cool to give the pine trees some lights to give it more of a christmas vibe!

[@cheathamama]

I agree!!

[@riley2476]

great work as always, it's cool that you got it working in game this time

[@joshslater2426]

Finally, someone else who appreciates the Ice Tunnel! I don’t know why Nintendo removed it.

[@dairhat]

The night version looks incredible 😮

[@KingYoshi93]

Great work again! I'm starting to feel the Christmas spirit.

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

I can’t believe I wasted 14 minutes of my time on a remake of a track I don’t even like. Still though, your work looks absolutely stunning for this track!

[@CafeCharlie]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed your waste of time!

[@statsy150]

Honestly sometimes antigrav can improve tracks, I’d look at Boo Lake, Dk Jungle and Piranha Plant Pipeline as examples (there’s definitely more but I remember this). For the case of dk pass I think the glider they added in mk7 makes a lot more sense then just a big booster jump, cause it’s the same thing but you have more stuff to do

[@Inanimation805]

WOWZERS! DK Pass looks so incredible!! NICE WORK!

[@KaijiKey1]

i love the low quality mic whenever you’r testing stuff- it gives off dunkey vibes

[@TheFunfighter]

tbf, it's a "Pass". So something that goes between mountains. For anti-gravity/glider/underwater: In my opinion, these can add to a track in sections that were originally solved with workarounds, or were generally boring. Basically, it has to make sense. If something unique gets cut out, it's a bad implementation. But if a simple boost ramp gets replaced with a glider or a water track gets an underwater section, I don't really mind. For example the swinging net in Maple Treeway was unique, but ultimately it was just a filler section to spam the brand new trick mechanic a bit. I would count the glider in MK8 as an improvement.

[@bobbaboi1999]

I waited anxiously for this in the post you made for days really good for your first mod

[@jerooshroom]

Looks so good in the end!!! I love these Mario kart videos you’re doing i will watch them all

[@theoturnip3692]

This is the update DK Pass deserves. you did way better than i could ever do though.

[@coconut1211]

Amazing work!! I wanna see Delfino Square Revamped next!

[@superpeppe97]

Gj, following u since 1st video! I like how ur skills in blender improved!

[@LuisDGamer]

13:24 si supieras mejorar la iluminación no dudaría que esto parecería completamente del Booster Course Pass! De verdad haces un gran trabajo remodelando estos circuitos 👏

[@MarioPower55]

Well, DK Pass needed an upgrade. ;)

[@NicTube]

I would have preferred a Glider Ramp at the jumping part during the end of the track (I think it's like that in the MK7 remake even), but otherwise pretty impressive work!

[@BK2410]

It was also in Tour

[@NicTube]

@@BK2410 Wasn't aware of that, ty!

[@kingmo675]

I have always wanted to do something like this but I don't have the blender skills! This is so cool!

[@KianFloppa]

great work this deserves more views

[@evan_sy]

These couple of tracks you remade are awesome! If you got the in-game lighting down, I'd say that they honestly look better than a lot of the Booster Course Pack tracks

[@Bransbow]

DK Pass was one of my favorite courses in Mario Kart DS.

[@jamesestes6851]

oh, Charlie's been to Anakeesta? I love that place!

[@Lincdup]

A Delfino square or Peach beach remake would be sick

[@Roxlecmc]

this is insane

[@Roxlecmc]

that last ramp should definitely be a glider tho

[@Claudio.26.05]

Everyone starts somewhere, good job

[@ARDIZsq]

I love how these projects end up becoming "remake the textures with other textures, then cry while messing with UV Maps for 30 hours." Just as Miyamoto intended. Seriously, insane amount of patience here to grind out the UV Mapping. That stuff is a pain to work with sometimes.

[@doodlehates_uttp]

Good JOB

[@angelo8606]

I'm shocked by how needlessly high poly Tour is for a mobile game. Just putting real textures on to the geometry really fixes most of the problems I have with the Tour artstyle. It's a shame Nintendo didn't bother to do that in the DLC.

[@LvlGenesis]

This makes me wish you’d try your hand at N64 Frappe Snowland. It’s a pretty basic course that was also in Tour. Could be super fun with some upgrades. Maybe add In some cabins and such on the sides to make it more lively? Definitely an interesting idea to say the least!

[@greatwhite_gamer1781]

I might take on that challenge to get it working 💪

[@Joamori1054]

For the trees i guess the ones used in the base game of Mario Kart 8 could work 🤔

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

Yes, AND the mountains could have been kept, which, in order to make them base game-like, he could have just clicked right > shade smooth. Also he could have used Royal Raceway cliff textures on the cliffs

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

Also he should have put a lot of ambient occlusion on the cliffs and other models that need it because, like, Tour needs the most ambient occlusion

[@pangake]

this awesome. you are awesome.

[@BK2410]

Thank you for showing us how the BCP tracks were ripped from Tour lol You can make your own dlc at this point.

[@Aostrele]

I’d like you to do Wuhu Island Loop eventually, it would be very beautiful to see Wuhu Island in HD and you can already use the battle map Wuhu Town for a base.

[@DrTexas09]

Daisy Hills would be cool to see you remodel. It's in Tour or if you want you can use the 7 model. I don't know anything about this but I would like Daisy Hills.

[@squireturnbolt]

This looks super cool! 😮 Btw, when working with low poly models and wanting to subdivide them, I think first you need to link all of the vertices that share the same position, to avoid the problem you were running into. There should be a fairly simple method of doing this, though I use blender 1.79, so I'm not sure how it would be done in newer versions.

[@CafeCharlie]

Yeah I was noticing that, I'll try and figure that out next time I run into it. Thanks for watching!

[@jasperstuart5745]

@@CafeCharlie,you should reach out to Nintendo & tell them to Update GBA Sunset Wilds in the Booster Course Pass,which includes the return of the Actual Sunset Gimmick,also the addition of the Sound effect in DS Waluigi Pinball you normally can hear when you passed beyond/between the Flippers,this Tracks NEEDS This Improvements because,this Visual/sound effects makes these tracks so popular

Update ds Bowser castle

Me and my friend are currently trying to fix the track XD But the fact you were able to turn a Tour track into a working MK8 CT is crazy!

@@CafeCharlie Dang it actually looks great. Nighttime surprisingly fits ingame

[@gammaphonic]

My absolute favourite track from Mario Kart DS. I was disappointed it wasn’t part of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC.

[@ahoymarsh_04]

dude i would love if you did delfino square next or in a near future Its my favorite track of all time!

[@FeviGames]

I remember the first time I made a MK8 track in roblox studio (yes, seriously) that I used the visual model as the collision and it had very janky results like the ramps shown in the video I did experiment by putting a plane mesh as the collision on top of the visual model and that ended up playing way better compared to getting flung in a different direction trying to do a trick

[@NintenRob]

I'd love to see you do this with all the Tour tracks that didn't make the cut in the booster course pass, Like Luigi's Mansion, Mushroom Bridge and Wario Galleons

[@qvrp.]

Please make more of these

[@jumentoqueanima]

We have the same mic, hey mic bro! :D

Redo Mushroom Bridge, there’s a good model in Tour

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

Redo Daisy Hills too

[@Gravy_783]

Bravo 🫡

[@KingYoshi93]

I'm very nostalgic for the DS but I wish it supported more polygons. That or that more DS tracks had been ported over to Tour or 8. :)

[@BK2410]

Luigi mansion and airship fortress are in Tour too

[@Cy-Fi]

One track you should try remaking Wario Coliseum. It's such a great track, and it's a shame it's stuck in Double Dash. Mushroom City is also another great track worth remaking

[@metho8662]

I want to learn blender bc of this

[@smashmikey]

Hear me out, I feel like an amazing idea to “remake” a track is N64 Bowser’s Castle

[@dieselboy.7637]

Next is airship fortress

[@crunch1es651]

Hey, I’ve been tryna get into custom track creation, do you have any tips on how to model the track to how you’d want it to look before adding additional bits?

[@CafeCharlie]

Thanks for watching! I would recommend just modeling the track itself and making sure that's fun before adding too much. That's the advice I got from the tutorial that I mentioned in the video. It's a good tutorial series, I'd recommend watching some of it before you start your modeling.

[@crunch1es651]

@@CafeCharlie thanks! Problem is, I don’t know how to model in blender lmao

[@CafeCharlie]

@@crunch1es651 He does cover some basic modeling stuff in the first episode. But yeah that can be tough to learn, I would just recommend starting super basic and ignoring pretty much every feature that Blender has to offer until you need them. Learn features one by one and explore what you can do with them.

[@crunch1es651]

@@CafeCharlie thank you so much for the tips! One last question though, is the process of getting the course to work on Cemu shown in the videos?

Please do N64 Wario Stadium. I don't care how long it takes, I will even pay.

[@fzerosoundfontcovers]

i wonder how well this would play in mkw

[@CaptainRillaboom]

I totally disagree with you on the Zero Gravity/Glider/Underwater part. Lemme explain why. Those features are really perfect to transform a bland track into a more interesting track. I could definitely see an antigravity + underwater section on the zigzag turns just after the tunnel.

[@onyxify]

its good but like why don't you just use the realistic styled trees from mk8 instead of adding textures to the tour model trees the mk8 ones look so much better

[@Stuggots]

You should do toad circuit. Would love to see an (actual) MK8 version of it

[@Aostrele]

Couldn’t you get a pine tree from mount wario?

[@TheMapleShyGuy]

Do lakeside park

[@SinisterPixel]

I would really love to see your take on Wario Colluseum from Double Dash. I feel like there's a few points in it where gliders or anti-grav would make sense and it's a track I NEVER see people talk about returning despite it being a fun gauntlet style track

I think you should apologise to the Mario Kart Tour fan base. It’s a decent game and doesn’t deserve being put down for not being as high-quality as a console game.

The track is already in Tour, so it would look too similar to the Tour version if it was in the BCP
