How Many Mario Kart 8 Tracks Can you Drive on in Real Life? ((Booster Course Pass Edition))

Today I'm finding out how many Mario kart eight deluxe tracks you could drive on in real life. I am going to be covering the booster course pass for this video. In my last video I covered the base game.
I used the Mario kart eight deluxe trailer linked here
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - ...
and i also used a lot of pngs in this video from the Mario wiki
www.mariowiki.com/
All music is from Mario Kart 8 or wii.

REAL Toad Circuit probably literally drives extremely well, it isn’t very exciting but it would drive like a real life racing track

[@montydoesgames]

Just watch out for the glider ramp that appears after lap 1

[@Some_Yoshi]

Toad circuit is like nascar, boring

[@xdYama]

[@Mandarin9900]

There's even videos of the Assetto Corsa mod here on KZbin that shows Toad Circuit possible to race and drive with a realistic handling car. So now boring is really subjective, but it drives well.

[@nugboy420]

It happens quite a lot tbh

[@CheesyLizzy]

2:52 The real answer is that since every single course in the Booster Pack came from Tour, these tracks have a bigger focus on glider sections to mix things up since Tour doesn't have anti-gravity. I'm just glad that Nintendo listened to our feedback and amped the graphics and incorporated anti grav into the later courses on the Booster Pass despite them being Tour ports. Because they're in 8dx now dang it and they should match the standards of the rest of 8's courses

[@Kimarnic]

Actually, i think it's just an easy way to let you see the cities and their monuments

[@TheFunfighter]

I think the Bowser Castle isn't problematic because of the anti-gravity section. That steepness does look possible with a powerful engine and some momentum. Driving on some mesh this close to lava might melt the tires though,

[@emperortoho]

plus the convection would kill you

[@benthecat4345]

Not to mention the drop at the end would probably damage the car

[@VaporizedKerbal]

Since you have to turn tight on the steep hill, what would work is going slow with good torque and low gearing

I do want to quickly point out one thing on Daisy Cruiser.... The Mk7 revamp of the Engine room is so confusing since the visuals aren't enough to show what they intended it to be. It went from a Engine room to a On-Ship Aquarium, but the colorscheme of the aquarium is terrible and would make the fish unhealthy. Though I suppose that point is null and void when you ram full speed into it with a Honda Civic.

[@traeyboy529]

I must admit, I don't think it would of mattered anyway.

[@joshslater2426]

The Booster Course Pass has massively improved my love for Mario Kart 8. Waves 1,2,5 and 6 were my personal favourites, and I liked most of the tracks, even Toad Circuit.

[@davidmandel8960]

Controversial picks but ok

[@bluebaron6811]

Toad Circuit is so dogshit it just rounds down below zero and rolls upward to being good. Like it's so bad, that it's unironically incredible.

[@luginess0]

Toad circuit really created a divide in the fanbase. It still sours my view of the booster pass, it just looks like lazy ports of mobile game maps to the amazing mario kart 8. It got better but first impressions can make or break it

[@mr.shtinko983]

​@@luginess0That's because the booster course is straight up mobile game tracks ported to MK8DX

It is here! If Choco Mountain and Sky Garden were how they were in Mario Kart 64 and DS, it would totally be drivable, with the exception of the boulders of course.

Toad circuit actually isn’t possible. Due to the lack of anything remotely interesting occurring, all people driving the track would simply fall asleep and eventually crash, causing a severe amount of casualties, after the first few deaths, the MKTeam would just need to shut down the course, thus making it impossible to be complete.

[@Jordan_yiu]

😅😅

[@SalaComMander]

5:38 "...how questionably thin this ice is" That is some THICC ice!! In real life, ice that thick would be perfectly safe to drive on, especially considering all the vehicles in Mario Kart are tiny, one-seaters. The cracks are way more concerning than the ice's thickness, but even they look to be solidly frozen back together.

[@Videogamer9201]

Koopa Cape was changed back in 3DS to have water and less electricity, though personally i like it because especially with the added anti grav in this version it can get very chaotic.

[@traeyboy529]

Keep in mind, 3DS is Mario Kart 7.

[@Adam.L02]

I do want to point out that Rosalina's ice world would be possible on all three laps because a real car would be able to accelerate fast enough to skip the gap in the ice on laps two and three as well as being able to do some precise driving in-game to use a mini turbo boost to just make the gap and land on the ice.

[@NeptuneEnerg]

Exactly. I made that jump with a precise half pipe boost. 16/48*

[@IncendiaryOCE]

Not sure a Toyota Camry or Honda Civic has a mini turbo boost function. Yeah, maybe you could give it a turbocharger or nitrous mod, but that's not gonna do much. Either way, the weight of the car would shatter that ice and/or damage it significantly.

[@BrysonGG_YT]

2:15 Well funky does have the luck stat🤔

[@GameBlock_]

It’s crazy how talented you are at making videos even with so little experience (at least on this channel). You did a great job at the overall pacing and the video was really entertaining! Can’t wait to see what vids you have planned for the future! (Also I guess toad is just the goat at track design, since all of his courses were drivable in real life)

[@neight818]

Thnak you so much. This is actually my first channel and this video is the fifth one I've ever tried to make. This really made my day thank you!

[@ElliottJedras]

Very glad you uploaded a follow up to the last video! Also, don't be disheartened if this doesn’t get as many views as the last one. You definitely got lucky that your last video got pushed by the algorithm, but that has definitely helped you to start gaining a following you absolutely deserve! In terms of videos, just try and do more silly ideas that you enjoy making!

[@neight818]

Thank you so much. This is literally one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. Like for real thank you so much.

[@therockinggoomba]

I like how the way you described dk summit implied you would take the car up the ski lift

[@ElliottJedras]

I really thought the booster course pass would have more because there is a lot less anti-gravity, but i didnt realise the curse of all the city tracks having a massive glider jump 😢

[@trCD210]

Not all of em. He mentioned that Moonview Highway, London Loop and Berlin Byway don't have massive glider jumps. All of them are city tracks.

Another thing about Rock Rock Mountain, is before the finish line is a very steep slope, which a real car would most likely struggle with. Unsure if anyone else has stated that before.

[@TerenceBai-oi7wh]

[@PykuzoVFX]

Just realized how small your channel was, loving these videos man. Keep it up.

[@BiggieBows1752]

On the MarioKart 8 rainbow road, it’s placed far above Earth but definitely close for there to be significant amounts of gravity. While this doesn’t make the track drivable because of its glider sections (which wouldn’t have air to glide on anyway), it’d be really interesting to see what jumps and other elements would be possible in reduced gravity.

[@alexmartinez5859]

Something that would also disqualify the Rainbow Roads if they were in space is the lack of oxygen. Space is a vacuum, meaning no atmosphere; no atmosphere means no oxygen; no oxygen means no internal combustion to either breathe or power any internal combustion engines.

[@sonikku6169]

10:07 The jump on Rosalina’s Ice World is ABSOLUTELY possible, at least in 150cc or higher. Not only can you use a mushroom/star to easily make the jump, you can drift boost trick jump without even using a mushroom (look up the world record!). In 200cc, it’s harder to go *down* into the water, even! Although, I’d still argue it’s not drivable due to the fact that making such a jump at that speed would likely shatter the ice, considering how it was brittle enough to fall on lap 1, lol.

[@ImAWaffle1000]

I'm pretty sure an actual car is unable to use a mushroom

[@VestedUTuber]

Choco Mountain: If the bridge hadn't been destroyed there it'd be driveable. Coconut Mall: A prepped rally car could probably do that. Waluigi Stadium: 100% doable. I wouldn't drive it with a factory stock civic but a prepped rallycross car would probably be able to handle it. Snow Land: You'd definitely lose your front bumper on that jump, but if you carry enough speed into it you can probably make it without too much issue. Sunset Wilds: This is the kind of terrain you'd see in the Baja 500. London Loop, Berlin Byways: The stairs would be impossible for a sedan but a truck or SUV could climb them without a hitch. SNES Bowser's Castle 3: Once again, there's a video of a stock Subaru Outback successfully climbing a sand dune. The angle of that is actually steeper than this track. Rainbow Road: You actually wouldn't just keep going up in space - relative to whatever object you're orbiting, anyway. You'd still drift away from the course, though.

[@leonardof4310]

Rosalina's ice world is possible, if you release a mini turbo at the same time you trick off the ramp it gives you enough speed to always land on top of the ice 10:08

[@Quartzer.]

But can a normal car do a mini turbo?

[@LugiatheOceanGuardian]

@@Quartzer.mine can

[@RedTHedge]

Counterargument: In Rainbow Road (8 and Wii and maybe 3DS to some extent), you are close to Earth (and multiple planets for 3DS), meaning there could be some gravity there. However that does wuestion hie the station is afloat for the 8 version, but there could be other reasons Yes I do know you're using Earth gravity as reference, just wanted to say

[@goobergecko]

this concept is so fun and well executed this needs more views

[@neffrey]

Rosalina’s ice world is doable without going underwater if you use the half pipe’s boost to clear the gap, but then again you probably would destroy your car after landing

[@Suspressable]

I feel like something that should’ve been considered is the thickness of the track. A car is much bigger than a go-kart, so if a path is too narrow for a full-sized car, it may not be drivable. For example, on Kalimari Desert, although there IS a big gap next to the ramp, if the gap were too small for a real car, it wouldn’t be possible to drive on, but I’m not sure if there are any tracks with this problem, it’s just hypothetical.

[@UltimateJM_22]

Fun fact, Rosalina’s Ice World is possible (in real life) in 200cc

[@cashbag]

You actually can get onto the ice in Rosalina's Ice World lap 3 if you do a precise mini turbo trick to launch yourself. In real life a fast enough car can make that jump.

I’m so happy he followed it up😊

[@charliepaynter8134]

With Rosalina's ice world, you can clear the lap 3 jump by using the half-pipe bits and i know cause i do it every time

[@traeyboy529]

The videos, despite the weird problems with transitions, are quite good. However, I think the main issue we're looking at is that this is merely focusing on a *normal* car (when that term can't exactly be used for many reasons). Another issue is that I think because it's also relying on Earth gravity and logistics, it does ruin some tracks' potential. I'm not gonna argue into what jumps are possible (though considering that I'm pretty sure it is possible to do the part on Rosalina's Ice World in MK7 w/o help, I would imagine it'd be doable in MK8) as some probably are genuinely impossible.

[@GekkeToine]

[@Sly88Frye]

I'm glad I looked through your channel after the previous video and saw this one. Awesome video! And this is coming from someone who doesn't have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because I already had Mario Kart 8 on Wii U. Although I have to admit with all the DLC added for Deluxe, I'm probably going to suck it up and get the game after all instead of waiting for Mario Kart 9 to never happen

Great video, would be great to see more Mario kart content in the future. Maybe try this with other Mario kart games. The previous games don’t have gliders making things much easier.

[@alccoderonscartch7909]

I'm predicting every city track is drivable, you just need to take the most drivable route on the track

[@alccoderonscartch7909]

there's always a drivable route within the city tracks

Disagree re: Coconut Mall - I think if one of those fancy "built to do crazy jumps" cars can do it it should count, like, all of Excite Bike arena, you know? It's not a regular car that the average person owns, but it IS possible in real life. And the Coconut Mall jump (on the bottom, of course) didn't look THAT tall. Oh well! Great video, super love this.

[@isneezelightning]

Oops! Okay, you really do mean just a normal car and not a dirt bike. WELL. I still think you okay-ed some jumps on other tracks that were about the same size as that Coconut Mall jump, but not a problem! Super interesting thought experiment, for real. Love this video series.

[@luluzin5022]

I think Coconut Mall is possible if you are racing on a motorcicle. You would have to be a professional to do it safely, but the drop before the parking lot feels more realistic than the jump over the drums on Music Park.

With Rainbow Road, one option could be to have it be magnetised, in order to hold the carts/cars close to the road? Something akin to those floating magnets that are super cooled!!
