Reviewing EVERY Mario Circuit in Mario Kart | Level By Level

The Mario kart series has a few track themes that repeat multiple times over the course of the series. Two of the most popular are rainbow road and bowser's castle, but the track type with the most variations in the series would have to be Mario circuit. There have been 24 different renditions of this track across super Mario kart, Mario kart 64, Mario kart super circuit, Mario kart double dash, Mario kart ds, Mario kart Wii, Mario kart 7, and Mario kart 8 deluxe. So in this episode of level by level I’ll be reviewing every Mario circuit in the series and putting them into a tier list!

[@Traveler_of_the_Stars]

I pretty much agree with your rankings overall, but I'm especially happy to see Wii U Mario Circuit get such a glowing ranking! I grew up with DS and Wii when I was in elementary school, but MK8 is the game that has been in my life since graduating middle school. As such, I'd say its Mario Circuit is definitely most nostalgic for me (what with it being in a lot of the original game's marketing and it being a stage in Smash for Wii U). It's not like an "objective S-tier" in the grand scheme of Mario Kart courses (especially when taking 8DX's already stacked course content into account), but I just think it's an incredibly fun track. I love holidng super long drifts (especially in 8DX), I think the Möbius strip layout is clever, the Piranha Plants can be legitimate obstacles if not careful, and the music is great. I agree that it's the best Mario Circuit and I think it should really be talked about and respected more!

[@deadheat1635]

Tour RMX Mario Circuit 1 is basically a SNES Mario Circuit 5, it takes what the other SMCs did and combines them into a decent track. It even adds elevated areas to drive on and trick off of. Definitely a solid track.

[@Nin10Toad77]

Will your next video be reviewing all the Bowser Castles, now that you’ve reviewed Mario Circuit and Rainbow Road?

Anyone else think the SNES Mario Circuits' song sound weird? It might be the main instrument used for me, but it's a rather odd song

[@Ivie_Sharp]

About that part about the weird bump in mario circut 2 mk7, that's been there since SUPER mario kart, and (as the only fan of that game I can officially say) that it was always there to begin with. It's the normal jump block from that game,not to be confused with the brown one, and in mario kart 7 it's got the craziest tas out of the mario kart 7 tracks.

[@JRS06]

My three favourite Mario circuits are probably GCN Mario Circuit, SNES Mario Circuit 4 and Wii Mario Circuit. The GCN one feels authentically Mario and is quite enjoyable, the SNES one is a fair challenge (that has somehow never been remade), and the Wii one is both nostalgic and also true to the feeling of Mario (and I like MKWii's aesthetic).

17:31 That isn't weird. On the original track in Super Mario Kart that jump is actually there. Maybe you didn't grow up playing the original Super Mario Kart like I did but I have actually used a mushroom to go over that ramp at the end which makes it go really high when you do that and if you go left enough you will go over that wall and there's actually a jump at the end of it which will bounce you out. It's there intentionally

[@Mr.M3447]

@Odyssey_Central once the 2d levels ranking is done, could a video (or videos) about future Mario kart remake tracks and what could be done to improve them? (I ask because o rewatched the rainbow road one and wasn’t sure what I could personally come up with to improve 8’s rainbow road)

[@brendanmckenzie1482]

Can you do a rank about all the haunted courses?

[@welcome2hi]

I love seeing appreciation for 8’s Mario Circuit. I generally hate on tracks that are shaped like figure-8s because they’re so overused (GCN Luigi Circuit, DS F8C, Wii Mario Circuit, Toad Circuit) but the use of antigravity making you do it twice in one lap is just so fun, and this is the track where I really feel the impact of antigravity the most. Also it’s the MORBIUS STRIP GUYS

[@not_kjb]

For me, mk8's is the best Mario circuit. Not only does it take full advantage of the game's main gimmick, but it also gives the track a new arrangement while keeping the melody of mk stadium (every game before would have 2 or 3 circuit themed tracks with the game music

[@SerenaAndCo]

Mario Raceway is actually called Mario circuit in Japanese.

[@dogboyton3166]

Something you forgot to mention for 8’s Mario Circuit is that if you are in any kind of boost (even a mini turbo) in MK8DX, Piranha Plants actually can’t bite you. So it’s an interesting piece of tech to take the turns tighter if you release your mini turbo right before you get to the plant.

[@ButtonMasherReal]

Huh, just earlier I was literally thinking about what the best Mario Circuit is. Now I don't even need to decide for myself!

[@awkwardsilence4427]

One tiny OCD nitpick I have about the MK8 remake of the GBA Mario Circuit is that the trees are growing at an angle that suggests that that part of the track is usually left in its raised position instead of being lowered when not in use. So then…why is it in the lowered position just to be raised again before the race to begin with?

Mario Circuit definitely takes the cake in my book
