I think their philosophy when it comes to snes and gba courses is actually purposely different. It seems to me like they want to keep the snes courses flat to make them seem like theyre from the first mario kart, while changing up the gba courses to help them reach their full potential since they were held back so much by the hardware they were on. Just my take on it though

[@fawful9992]

The only thing with that is that Donut Plains 3 in MK8 is not flat at all.

[@crazycarlos08]

I think they wanted to keep SNES Mario Circuit looking like the original because it was the first course theme in the series, so it's like a retro throwback

[@steamboathedgie]

It's like how Smash enhances the look of Melee stages, but purposefully keeps a retro look for the N64 stages

[@gimok2k5]

I think the reason Mario Circuit 3 is flat like the Wii remake is because it IS the Wii remake, ported and touched upon a bit for Tour and then brought over from Tour to the Booster Pass. I also don't mind it being more flat. It actually would make the SNES tracks more distinct from the rest (especially Super Circuit).

[@ELnummer2004]

Thanks for agreeing even though you probaly don’t put it in S Tier like i Do🤣

[@ugandianos_]

But I feel if they make it flat, they could make the ENTIRE thing anti gravity. Which would make it better

[@234zuscoutjango9]

I think it was remade, not ported. Because if they have to make new textures and models and stuff so that it doesnt look like a wii track, it would be easier to just entirely remake it instead of using stuff from 14 years ago just to redo most of the track anyway

[@possumorb3770]

I'd like to say that we haven't yet gotten SNES Mario Circuit 4, and it's the ONLY one they haven't remade yet.

The main thing I like about wave 2 is that there are so many shortcuts. MKWii was famous for having very well placed shortcuts that were very difficult and all had an element of risk--TF lake jump, MG gap, DKS single & double, GV lava respawn & rock hop, DSDS Dock shortcuts, BC3 shroom & ultra, DKM turnskip, rBC rail cut, etc... Wave 2 has tons of these interesting high-risk high-reward tracks that make for hype races and memorable finishes. In addition to them, to my surprise, keeping the MG gap jump a difficult but highly rewarding shortcut, there are major skips such as the one between the snowman & tree at the beginning of GBA Snow Land, or the one at the end of Sky-High Sundae where you skip half of the U-turn. TWD98 made a video on the Wave 2 shortcuts if you don't know what I'm talking about. But regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the tracks are becoming closer to what MKWii's track philosophy was, which I personally love. This wave alone has changed the amount of major unintended shortcuts from being just the 1 in big blue to being 3 or 4. And that's hype.

Sky-High Sundae being called a new track is definitely controversial especially since it just got revealed for Tour, and I do think the track was originally developed with Tour in mind. Some parts of the anti-gravity in the track do feel very minimal and strange, especially with the railing acting as boosters, adding to more proof that it is just a Tour track with anti-gravity added to it. I think it was called new for marketing purposes and because, at the time of the Wave 2 trailer, it hadn't been revealed for Tour yet and they didn't want to spoil it for Tour players. Just my take on it.

Turnip Cup: New York Minute: A little too boxed in, like Tokyo Blur, but it's fun how distinct each lap is, and that the track is set at night. Mario Circuit 3: A chaotic little track online but nothing much to this track. Easily the blandest design and aesthetics in Wave 2. Kalimari Desert: I love that Nintendo combined the original N64 layout with Kalimari Desert 2 from Tour. The music remix is absolutely wonderful. My second favorite N64 track in the entire game after Rainbow Road. Waluigi Pinball: I love that we finally have this track in HD. Absolutely stunning, and having those classic item sound effects return is the cherry on top. Propeller Cup: Sydney Sprint: Easily the best Tour city track so far. I love how long this track is. It is so satisfying to trick off all the ramps with boost panels on them, and driving through the park and opera house feels great. Snow Land: The penguin rink is absolutely adorable. I absolutely love the remixed music as well. The layout is a little basic, but the little ramp at the way end of each lap adds some much needed last second chaos. Mushroom Gorge: I'm glad the mushroom shortcut at the start of each lap was added back as well as the gap skip at the end of each lap, like in Wii, while retaining the blue propeller mushroom from 7. Best version of this track by far. Sky-High Sundae: The colorful graphics and being fully in anti-gravity don't really make up for the bland layout. This is one of the weaker tracks in Wave 2. Sweet Sweet Canyon did a similar dessert theme better. Overall, I absolutely love this DLC Wave. It's so much better than Wave 1 with more consistency in terms of fun, creativity, and graphics.

[@FrazerEddy]

Also, I find the mushrooms in Mushroom Gorge to be pretty challenging to bounce across, particularly the cave of mushrooms. If you bounce too high, you'll miss a mushroom and fall off the stage!

[@paragnosia2399]

N64 kalimari desert’s music is just okay? It sounds so beautiful with the added trumpets and other western instruments which make the track feel a lot more immersive. I played a lot of n64 back when and this tune stuck out to me as being different, now driving in this heavily updated track visually with this gorgeous soundtrack proudly playing is just what I wanted out of it.

[@jumentoqueanima]

Exactly Lmao.

[@PlatinumAltaria]

A lot of people seem to think Sky High Sundae is a new track, but it's not. It's from Tour, due to be released in future. For whatever reason this and Ninja Hideaway are missing the Tour label, and they're the last tracks in each wave. Anyway, all of the courses are ported from Tour, classic and new. There's nothing new being developed here, which is why the courses are all short and have low texture quality.

[@PhantasticMrPhrog]

I don’t think people think that, but also it technically is a new track and regardless of what game you play it in. It will forever objectively be a new MK8 track first. It may have been designed for tour with a simplistic design. It was still designed somewhat for 8 due to the anti gravity added in. So regardless it is indeed an 8DX track first and foremost.

[@PlatinumAltaria]

@@PhantasticMrPhrog The anti-grav doesn't really do anything though. It's not like the 8 tracks where you go upside down. All of the tracks have slight modifications, but they're still using the same layouts and assets.

[@PhantasticMrPhrog]

@@PlatinumAltaria Yes I know but it was still added. Regardless if the track was designed for tour, the public will always know it as the track that first came to MK8. So regardless of how it is behind the scenes this track to most is definitively gonna be an 8 track even if it in the future will be on known as the track from tour. But due to how it seems that a lot of people that I know don’t even play that game. Will to them make this track stand out as a 8 track and nothing else.

[@MrFusion]

I know what you mean, but this is just not true. It came in 8 first, so it's a new track. It coming to Tour later doesn't matter. Ninja Hideaway was almost certainly going to debut in 8, but I believe wave 1 may have had a weird development and they dropped it in Tour first.

[@Huddleston07]

Personally, I think the track should be renamed to "Fever Dream"

[@somethingfunnyyt]

Fun fact the ramp in the train map that randomly appears is actually invisible to those who aren’t on lap two, so you can see someone fly if you somehow get lapped at that point

[@k-leb4671]

Mario Circuit 1 should've been included instead. That one is at least a classic that everyone recognizes. If it kept the 5 laps of the original then it could also be more distinct amongst the other MK8 tracks, and maybe you'd get to bump into racers a lap behind you more often.

[@HS-mn6jc]

Same! Mario Circuit 3 is one of my favorites from the SNES and I was really happy to see it back. Yeah, they could have touched it up some more, but I think I enjoy having a track that’s more or less just pure Mario Kart: no ramps, no tricks, no gliding, just you, some turns, some items, and the other racers. My races on MC3 have all been so heated and intense BECAUSE of its simplicity, and that’s why it’s one of my favorites. It’s really disappointing to see people hate on it so much, but I guess people generally want more casual-friendly courses that you can reliably win on than ones that you actually have to think, focus, and play well to win. :/

For anyone who's struggling to do the GBA Snow Land shortcut that the staff ghost does on lap 3: go to the right of the snowman, align facing the finish line, outward drift around the lake, thank me later.

The backgrounds are amazing with natural hills that look very exciting and fun and i wish i could go to the hills in mario kart 8s mario circuit 3. It copies the design of its amazing brothers, mario circuit 1 and 2. The small dash block is a huge improvment and missing it is always a let down and its a huge risk on if i should go for it. I love mario circuit 3’s asthetics. The blocky look mixed in with nature is so amusing and i smile each time i see it.

Mario Circuit 1 is the first track in the franchise, so it has that massive historical factor going for it; Mario Circuit 2 has that great glide ramp at the end of laps, which debuted in Mario Kart 7; Mario Circuit 4 has never been remade before. Mario Circuit 3 doesn't have much going for it in comparison.

I hope we get Bowser's castle n64 in either the next wave or the last wave. But I don't think that Nintendo has plans for bc64 unfortunately.

[@FrazerEddy]

N64 Bowser's Castle is great, but I personally would've preferred something like Wii or DS. Or heck, even GCN or one of the GBA tracks would be nice.

Best Birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy birthday :D

[@josiahswanson1]

you had no business making this video so funny 🤣🤣 the mario circuit slander references through the entire video was so hilarious 🤣

[@oxthcar]

Don't understand why MC3 was chosen when SNES MC2 literally has a glider ramp in mk7. It should be here

[@crispycol4904]

Waluigi Pinball would place for me in A, purely because it was the perfect track to add anti-gravity. I know they're mostly just porting from Tour but especially with the graphics being drastically different from the base game, I expect a little bit of effort into making them feel more like MK8 tracks instead of MKT tracks.

[@unseenasymptote4976]

12:24 “…a small building…” Bro, that’s literally the Sydney Opera House, what an understatement 😭 Edit: 13:00 AND THAT ONE’S A FERRY, oh my gosh 😭

[@chrissont4956]

"This was not a track anyone wanted to see come back" i will gladly be that guy who likes this track bc mkwii nostalgia

[@FinestGamingMC]

“As we go through this small building” as an Australian, I took that personally

[@queenboo9023]

20:45 replay the footage YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU ARE LANDING

[@rudeley5225]

Hey your not alone with trying to trick off that lone boost pad in waluigi pinball

[@nunyabizness8919]

One thing I really like about Mushroom Gorge is that at least in 200cc (idk if it can be done in lower speeds but I haven't tested it out) you can do the first shortcut without using a mushroom. If you time it right, you can hop over the grass so you don't slow down and can make it far enough to land on the mushroom. Also, one of my favorite things to do when I make the gap jump is try to hop the fence. It's really risky but can save a huge amount of time, and it feels really satisfying when you make it.

[@JoboGamezzz]

my biggest problem with sky high sundae is the beginning bit where is your using the joycon sticks at least it kind of hurts to pull your finger down and then a bit to the side witch also feels a bit awkward

[@Bagimations]

Have you ever considered doing a Level by Level on the Battle Courses? I’d like to see what design philosophy’s battle courses use, and how well each one does that

[@martinbro011]

Toad circuit be like: "Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary"

[@FrazerEddy]

Honestly, I still hate that track way more than SNES Mario Circuit 3. At least MC3 looks and plays loads better than Toad Circuit, which is possibly the worst track in the whole DLC in my opinion (unless you count Tokyo Blur into the equation).

[@BabyMatiny]

Wait what? WOW they updated coconut mall? Respect

[@2dtoons548]

You did a great job with this video! But hearing you call the Sydney Opera House the "starting building" devasted me.

[@RedBoiPaul]

5:10 “One of the other 3!?” Actually there’s 4 Mario Circuits tracks in the SNES

[@Coolyuonh_GD]

You don’t understand what he means

[@k-leb4671]

12:23 "This will take you inside a small building which you have to glide out of." Just a small building? My man, you ever heard of something called the Sydney Opera House?

[@Goofy_Games64]

I love how they combined calimary desert from the n64 and calimary desert 2 from tour

[@superyoshiverde7911]

They should have gone with Mario Circuit 4 because the other 3 have already been remade 1 was remade in DS 3 was remade in Wii and 2 was remade in 7

[@Sergioshi_]

Thank you for this video, you expressed my exact thoughts. Waluigi Pinball defo needed antigravity and the Sky High Sundae rails being boosters is really weird

[@FrazerEddy]

Yeah well, even without antigravity, I still consider Waluigi Pinball to be an amazing track. To me, it's just one of those tracks that didn't need fixing; it was perfect just the way it was.

[@N.I.S.C]

Now that they have also included a completely new track with sky high sundae, i hope they make at least one more track based on a nintendo IP, like the zelda, f-zero and animal crossing tracks. I really hope they bring a Splatoon track.

[@JsAwesomeAnimations]

Congrats on 10 years on KZbin

[@wiiview9482]

18:40 this cut can also easily be done on 150cc. You just have to cut the line shorter and jump right at the end.

[@justiceplus4756]

10:38 trust me odyssey your not alone. The other night I tried playing this track with my friend a we both tried to trick on it ALL THREE LAPS...

[@doodlebug47]

Honestly, Mario Circuit 3 would've been cooler if they made it look like you were in an arcade game or something instead of just re-re-making the same track. If you're gonna do something again, at least do it better. Also, I try to trick off the boost panel in Waluigi Pinball thinking its a ramp too.

[@GTRichardson7]

to answer your question on why someone would go under the ramps on Sky-High Sunday, the columns that hold the ramps up actually are boosts like the rails earlier, so it might be faster (i haven't tested it yet, but one could imagine it cutting a little bit of time)

[@DatViper01]

14:52 “unfortunately Mario circuit 3 sus”

[@llmkursk8254]

It’s funny, but Kalimari Desert and Mushroom Gorge are actually ported from the 3DS, as 7 added the glider ramps to Kalimari Desert and the blue mushroom used to replace the left path in Mushroom Gorge. It is, however, nice to see the tracks improved upon with extra touch-ups. I will say, it is a disappointment that Waluigi Pinball doesn’t have anti-gravity in the slope section.

[@____David]

Great Video! If I'm being honest it sort of feels like the development time for Mario Circuit 3 was used to update the older tracks while they just port over MC3 from Wii which I guess makes sense (I do still wish it had better visual similar to all of the other tracks in wave 2 though)

[@Alxium]

Hate on MC3 all you want, but that hasn't stopped it from being one of the most popular tracks online. Folks like TWD98 have noticed this as well.

[@Coolyuonh_GD]

It keeps getting chosen because it’s a bagging track, not a good track

[@Velixiy]

these tracks visually have improved a lot at least compared to the first wave

[@Arob4343]

I grew up on Mario Kart 64. When on Kalamari Desert, I’d sometimes try to drive through the tunnel. It kinda just stopped in blackness, I think, so now that we are able to go through the tunnel….I’M EXCITED. One of my favorite DLC tracks

[@aimari555]

Hope you continue to make episodes on the other waves to come in the dlc! I love hearing your thoughts about them

[@dallor09]

I definitely also keep thinking that the boost panel on waluligi pinball is a ramp so you are not the only one

[@armstronggaming8566]

On the topic of mario circuit 3, not every track has to be extravagant. Sometimes just playing on a simple circuit is a good thing. It leads to simple races and a break in the the vibrant colours and crazy turns that make the other courses all the better

[@mimikyutubesaltaccount4875]

I can understand that, but the problem is that they chose Mario Circuit 3 over Mario Circuit 4, which is the only SNES Mario Circuit that hasn’t been remade outside of Super Circuit

[@heybru489]

I wanted Mario Circuit 3 because how annoying it was on the wii with 150cc so I wanted it in 200cc. MY FAV SNES TRACK! (understand why yu dont like though)

[@Typi]

I believe the 200cc shortcut on Snow Land is actually a returning shortcut. The place where it is matches up almost exactly with a shortcut from the original.

[@Fxrgxtten_Smile]

For me, in mkwii, i loved mario circuit 3, very hard, tight turns and alot of time trial fun, I bet it would be fun to do 200cc on mario circuit 3
