[@aWiibo]

[@pokebreeder2517]

so what classifies them as unique?

[@erwannworld9491]

You forgot Toad's factory. My favorite Wii track and THE original Wii course concept of courses inside a workplace that Nintendo never added back for 4 Mario Kart straight, just like all others original concepts such as stacking pipes or costumes mushrooms from Super Mario maker 1 or the Monty mole tank from Nsmb Ds. But I know it will come back one day... It will be back from the ashes... One way.... Or another... Sorry, I was just zooming out. Anyways, where were we?

[@motordragon1975]

45:31 This caught my attention right away, ‘cause the patternson the ground look just like the patterne while driving on the wall of the electrodrome. It could have been the same feature but further developed into electrodrome And an extension of this, GP DX could have also inspired the three stage drift-boost system put into 8. It’s like the bridge between the games of Wii and 7 into 8.

[@CesarCheeser08]

Ninja Hideaway.. It's perfect

[@WeirdKitten-ek6ew]

OMG I have completely forgotten about Mario Kart Double Dash! That was one of my most favorite versions of Mario Kart growing up!

[@raesolaris00]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was my first Mario Kart game since 64. I was...... disappointed Yoshi Valley displayed what place you're in. :/ I always loved that track because of that feature. It made things so much more interesting!

[@prestonandtom9337]

I like how you call it a feature even though it's not, but I still love it though.

[@spiffymaxman3201]

I think its makes it all the better. It didn’t make much sense since you could easily tell what place everyone was in after 5 seconds

[@El_Omar2203]

@@spiffymaxman3201 I dont know, once you play the course like 5-10 times, not having a map becomes irrelevant because you already know the best path.

[@IvanFranco120]

I remenbered playing Kalamari Desert once in Tour and it was amazing how it was improved...

"Most unique mario kart tracks" proceeds to show almost every track in the series

[@kristopherpares1749]

You could have shared some rainbow tracks with “Mario Kart Arcade GP 2”.

[@Theminiom2]

Surprise Peach!!! 1:10 😂💀👌

[@SoshiTheYoshi]

Namco Circuit has my favorite song in any Mario Kart game.

[@AloneSitoYTTM]

Bandai Namco?

[@JackieNguyen75202]

14:54 Where is the glider?

[@JRS06]

I don't know why some of these are considered "unique"? What's so special about Choco Island 1 or Mushroom Bridge?

[@bluberrydee6205]

i RESPECT your opinion, however choco island 2/mario circuit 2/rainbow road are more unique than choco island 1 at the time imo theres nothing that defines choco island 1 besides everything is brown, which choco island 2 also has mario circuit 2 is the only track in the game to have a loop where you jump over the track (and still is the only mario circuit out of the whole series to do a loop in that way) rainbow road is the only track of it's theme even choco island 2 has a giant mud pit

[@armourdream]

Why is MK8D Bowser’s castle out of order?

[@tarrellperkinsgrant5803]

I think Bangkok Rush and Waluigi Pinball are the useful tracks! What about you?

[@kingchebba9967]

THERE'S A PAC MAN TRACK?!
