I Ranked Every Version of Every Course in Every Mario Kart Track (Wave 1-3)

[@JandroAlem]

You pointing out the many details between the multiple versions was such a treat. Makes me really appreciate some of the changes they decided to make. This was a really entertaining video, dude.

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

Especially when they had versions from other ports which is so cool

[@stapleboy7462]

@WackyChu theres still differences between the tour and original versions, this video has nothing to do with the recycling of tracks even if it is annoying

[@LlamaLogic]

The funniest part about Shroom Ridge is in the original where the cars are going in opposite directions the divider line is white which indicate they should be going in the same direction, where in the remake they changed the line to orange/yellow which indicates opposite directions and made them go in the same direction 💀

[@agentclank8183]

We like some illegality in our children racing games.

[@PWNDON]

HELP

[@creeperking8702]

So they’re illegal in both Versions

[@Supwe]

Well, the color thing doesn't work like that at least in most of Europe. Here, the line is white most of the time and to indicate if it's same direction or not we differenciate them with continuous line or multiple intermittent lines. The color yellow is only used temporarily if there's a construction nearby to indicate, well, there's a construction so you should go slower and the track may has been temporarily modified.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Funny, cause that's not how all roads work in some countries. Countries like Australia don't make it as obvious, unless you're on a multi-lane highway where the traffic going the opposite direction is separated by a solid line, some kind of boundaries, or a separate road nearby.

[@DE23]

The weird thing is that half pipes are only being added in the wave three, which is especially weird since Wario' Gold Mine removed the half pipe for what now feels like no reason

[@PScoopYT]

"Half-pipes" that they've added are basically a reworked anti-gravity segment. Safe to say at the time when they're making Wario's Gold Mine, they weren't serious about bringing half-pipes back (both 7 and 8 did not have it) But by the time Booster Courses Pass came around, they already decided to bring half-pipes back for Tour. So at the end, the devs thought "why not" and rework anti-gravity panels into a half-pipe substitute.

[@ArendAlphaEagle]

Yeah, I don't think they decided on bring half-pipes back until Wii Maple Treeway was added to Tour. I mean, the Tour version of N64 Yoshi Valley (based on the MK8 basegame version) ADDED a half-pipe ramp, and that course NEVER had a half-pipe before.

[@Zekken_The_Lodestar]

@@ArendAlphaEagle that's actually very interesting.

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

That was actually hype, I love the half-pipes.

[@6amerBr0]

That's probably because Tour brought back the half-pipes for the first time since Wii and the idea of putting them in Mario Kart 8 didn't come around until the DLC.

[@gameboy3d943]

One thing you didn't mention in Waluigi Pinball is that, in the original version, you hear a "Pinball Game Over" sound effect, when you pass through the flickers. In Mario Kart 8, the sound effect is absent. It's a shame, because it added to the atmosphere that you are in a pinball machine.

[@DaNintendude]

I thought for sure that they'd bring that back in Wave 3, but they didn't. It's really odd how it's still in the course intro, but not in the course itself.

[@MrOfflineAlways]

He didnt mention it came badck on 3DS' retro tracks too

@@adlirez it was the fact that, when this video was made, up until wave 3, there were 0 double dash courses in the BCP

[@ChiliBurgerYT]

7:05 just putting this here because I like the whole Shroom Ridge overall.

[@Zekken_The_Lodestar]

I love the humor in this video. And I agreed with a lot you had to say. Personally I'd say Rock Rock Mountain got an unfortunate down grade both visually and gameplay wise. It was one of my favorite tracks in 7. Mostly due to glider physics in 7 being much better than 8's. And unfortunately this track has tour's artstyle and botched gliders. Making it sadly worse in my opinion. But it's still a lot of fun. Also am really happy about Maple Treeway and 3DS Rainbow Road.

[@aramis4347]

@@TortillaPizzeria my favorite is 3DS Rainbow Road. It's been my all time favorite track ever since I started playing Mario Kart 7 6 years ago.

[@Mysteryman61350]

Waluigi's pinball machine, and tic tok clock will always be my top favorite maps.

[@varibunn]

I think my major gripe with mushroom gorge (one of my top courses as a kid) is that the change in physics on the mushrooms ticks me off to no end. I just can't play the course now because I can't get the timing correct anymore. I loved how high and flying you felt in the wii version but now it BUGS ME

[@jaydenrush3919]

Kalamari Desert is one of my favorites in the new booster pack because in the N64 version you could manage to get on the train track and actually drive through the tunnel, and in the new remake, that’s actually a part of the race! I love how they saw people doing that in the original and said, “alright, we’ll make it official then!”

[@animeluigiboy]

Ain’t gonna lie, seeing Waluigi’s Pinball returning in Tour and the Booster Course pack is definitely the best thing Nintendo gave us.

[@GetMadz]

sounds like it wasn't MKDS and McDS

[@the.real.mose.milburn]

Having never played any previous versions of Shroom Ridge, I took the homogenized direction of the traffic as, like... you know how when you're a kid you can approximately recreate the aesthetic of adult life in your head without the actual knowledge of why the elements of that aesthetic (i.e. traffic) are even in place to begin with? So you wouldn't realize why the cars in that other lane would even need to drive the opposite direction until you're older? I look at Mario Kart as (aside from an incredibly fun game and a great icebreaker) somewhat of a whimsical fantasy of driving that Nintendo is selling to kids. I first played Mario Kart 64 when I was like, 5, and that's kinda what it was to me. Adulthood was a million years away. I didn't know how the hell traffic control worked back then either. So I look at Shroom Ridge, and how all those cute little cars go the same way, and it makes me think all these warm, fuzzy, nostalgic thoughts about how myopically simple everything used to be. Is that a stretch? Am I reading way too much into this? Oh, most definitely. But hey, what the hell? :P

I don't know if this detail is still kept in MK8D but the original Rock Rock Mountain is (from what I know) the only track in the series to have music that's timed to the race course which was the coolest thing about it in MK7, getting a good pace going on that track was made so satisfying when activating the glider synced up to that guitar sting and then the more intense part of the song playing as you're going up the hill right before the end. I can't think of another track in Mario Kart that does something like this with it's music so while I get Rock Rock Mountain seems forgettable on the surface it's actually one of my favorites from MK7 for this reason alone

[@DaNintendude]

Most of the problems I have with thr courses are likely there because of compromises Tour made. Tour has 3 or 4 variants per course, so it can't keep a lot of random stuff in. Like Coconut Mall's "THANK YOU!" signs. Tour also obviously isn't on the same level as MK8's base traxk upgrades, but I imagine Coconut Mall would've looked STUNNING with a lot more detail and liveliness added to it. Tour also has to try to alter courses to fit its gameplay loop better.... This means compromising GBA course layouts like Sunset Wilds, and most notably-- Sky Garden. The aesthetics are definitely a downgrade, but what's worse is how they botched the layout completely. Surprised that Rock Rock Mountain's aesthetics weren't brought up. What was initially a super unique, dark gray, rough cliff with deep green grass... became a generic cliff with the same colored cliffs as pretty much every other track. It's super annoying because the aesthetic was part of why I loved Rock Rock Mountain. And just so you know, Tour's version of Koopa Cape changed its colors as well. It has the generic cliffsides, light green grass, and even changes the gravelly road in the water section to a generic sandy road. Tour tracks weren't brought up in this video, but obviously all of them are an upgrade in 8.... except for Sky High Sundae. Surprisingly, the gameplay of Sky High Sundae is a lot more fun in Mario Kart Tour. It honestly doesn't really fit 8 that well at all.
