Let's Talk About Madrid Drive in Mario Kart Tour & 8 Deluxe!

[@AlbertBoris]

Hope you'll all enjoy this shorter video of mine, while I'm working on a larger project which I hope to finish this weekend! I apologize if the route prediction section is hard to follow, I didn't really know how to make it flow smoothly! What are your thoughts on Madrid Drive? Let me know down below!

[@bumblebee8903]

It looks very ambitious so far. Looking forward to it in Wave 6!

[@ethantunnell8009]

I'd say Madrid Drive should be in the Spiny Cup as Spain is on the Coast of Europe / Mediterranean Sea, so the Spiny is a Shell which you find out at Sea and on Beaches.

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

If they are having a Rio course, they are gonna call it ‘Rio Race’

[@CamerKanza]

No I think there’s more coming

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

I’m happy that Madrid is in Wave 6. Rome Avanti fits well in the Acorn Cup. Its atmosphere is pretty relaxing and fits a calm before storm well. It wouldn’t be a good final track. Madrid Drive feels so epic as an upbeat send-off to the city tracks, but also a great introduction to the finale of the BCP.

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

8:05 You’re actually right, as Madrid Drive’s file name is CNSW51, and Rome Avanti’s name is CNSW54.

[@nintenjoedude1949]

They’re gonna name the next Mario Kart title Mario Kart Drive now aren’t they lol

[@MarioandJulius]

I can’t imagine if they did that

[@nintenjoedude1949]

@@MarioandJuliusSame haha but I’ve found it funny how Nintendo is naming their latest courses like the 2 piranha plant courses and now just Madrid Drive, like NO WAY MARIO IS DRIVING😱 lol. If the next game was actually called Mario Kart Drive tho I think it would be hilarious to stick with that trend and for a sequel I would title the game Mario Kart: They’re Still Driving😂, 10/10 name right there!

[@GDevoney]

No, after wave 6 they are gonna rename it Mario Kart 8's Booster Course Drive

[@Wailmur]

[@MarioandJulius]

@@nintenjoedude1949 you know what that is ridiculous funny 😆

[@theoofman4432]

I think Madrid will be the Acorn Cup Opener (may change with the layout and full music). It kinda is like Athens when it is very energetic and, in turn, would be a great Wave opener, to get people hyped for the future tracks.

[@nintendoguy0342]

I’m hoping that Madrid Drive will be in the Spiny Cup for Wave 6.

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

They are just working what they have for the tour course, cramming them in. Rome is probably unavailable hence they have to put Amsterdam in wave 4 so difficulty doesn’t matter for these ones. Madrid, PPC and PPP are locked in for wave 6 because we are so close to September that wave 6 is in testing phase now.

[@MrHalloweenBoO]

And it has!

[@MrHalloweenBoO]

It is in the Spiny Cup!

[@Venemofthe888]

I think this track will just be a nice chill out time like a winding down kinda course

[@drapionmaster6032]

Before I knew the name of the track name,I thought the name “Madrid drive” sounded quite fun but I didn’t know it would be the actual NAME OF THE TRACK!

[@Skeletop22]

I've always felt like Rome would be in the Spiny Cup since it is set at night which would symbolize the end of the pass. But after seeing all of Madrid's interesting elements, it could really go either way.

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

IMO, Rome is a bit too late in the BCP. I think it should have been structured like this: Rome Avanti: opening for the Feather Cup Athens Dash: ending track of the Feather Cup Squeaky-Clean Sprint: ending track of the Cherry Cup Vancouver Velocity: opening track of the Acorn Cup.

[@princianorvz]

4:10 best name shouldve been MADRID PLAZA

[@jacobleistra2752]

The fact that the dlc is ending soon makes me sad because we might not get anymore tour city courses. (I actually really like most of the city courses)

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

Here in France, Athens Dash is called "Antic Athens", and Madrid Drive is called "Madrid Meanders".

[@disneysydneyresortvirtual9264]

Madrid Drive looks spectacular. Can't wait to finally play it.

[@sasir2013]

I would've preferred cordoba, mostly because it's a city filled with bridges, a wide river crossing it, and, more importantly, the Mezquita, a +1200 old building considered humanity's patrimony with very interesting architecture to drive across

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

Would be really cool.

[@notapplicable3]

Tour really has come a long way and had a very healthy lifespan so far for a Mario Kart game (and won't be able to fill all the RXs & gaps by the 4th anniversary without madness), but let's hope we see some new id gaps in the 4th anniversary update so that we can finally get Rio City, Cairo Street, SNES MC4, and Piranha Plant Sprint.

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

I drawn a concept of a track based on Diamond City from WarioWare for Mario Kart 9 and it looks surprisingly similar to Madrid Drive in how it would play: it plays like the city tracks from the BCP, to the point where I even imagined how its 3 versions would be if it was originally a Tour track. Plus, it also has lots of variety.

[@thesmellofadventure5370]

I wanted a Pittsburgh track called Pittsburgh Bridges N’At. I grew up in Pittsburgh, so it would’ve been a blast if done right! The City of Bridges really needs Justice to be served. If adding classic yinzer stuff it could be unique. Many giant bridges with different obstacles. Heinz Field, PNC Park would be awesome. Here in Pittsburgh, we have a restaurant called Pramanti Bros. They have sandwiches with French fries and coleslaw on them. Having giant Pramanti sandwiches in the bridge would be so goofy but unapologetically yinzer. We have a festival called Picklesburgh, so pickles would be fun. All this happening with a concert of someone like Pauline in PNC Park. A glider section over the 3 rivers and Heinz Field would bring tears to my eyes. As for the name “N’At” is an infamous Yinzer (people from Pittsburgh) slang. Oh and not to forget Chargin’ Chucks in black and gold Steeler jerseys. I’m sad this doesn’t exist, but a man can dream!

[@ETHAN-is3li]

1:17 You gotta ❤️ Albert Borris’ evil twin brother. My favorite appearance he made was the Double Dash ranking video, during the part with DK Mountain and Dino Dino Jungle, with the inclusion of RyderKart as well.

[@MrShamui]

While I’m not entirely liking what I see with Madrid, I hope that maybe the the actual track will change my mind on Wednesday, because it does look quite interesting. Also, great video btw 🎉

[@ade1174]

I hope that Madrid is a good end for city tracks.

[@ethanbluefan127]

RIP Rio and Cairo😩

[@ArchonHimitsu]

I will never be able to glide over a pyramid or the Christ the Redeemer.

4:50 spot on. I couldn’t figure out how to say it but you got it exactly right.

[@CesarCheeser08]

Bertil says exactly what I'm saying when it comes to the time of day for Los Angeles & Madrid

[@LandonEmma]

It should have been Egypt since it’s on the title art

[@skc4188]

Or anything from Africa, really. Europe has become a plague in Tour at this point

[@Lizzarp]

Would be pretty nice if Madrid will set at sunset in 8 Deluxe tbh

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

I’m really excited for Madrid Drive! As of Spanish descent, it’s really cool that we finally have a Spanish speaking course in the game and while I personally again would’ve preferred Barcelona, Madrid also looks really really good and well made and also blew my expectations like you said! And the music is on another level too I really wanna hear the full theme and it’s remix in Wave 6. Oh and I also agree that it’ll be in the Spiny Cup. Dataminers even said it’s gonna be one of the most complex city tracks so I’d be surprised at this point if Rome Avanti (which is the much calmer of the two city tracks) ends up in the Spiny Cup instead. Not downplaying it’s difficulty, yes I do believe Rome will also be one of the hardest city tracks for how claustrophobic it is but I mean we had Athens Dash another arguably really difficult city track open the Feather Cup in Wave 5. Think of it like Rome Avanti is Wave 6’s Athens Dash and Madrid Drive is Wave 6’s Los Angeles Laps.

[@cpcantimark]

ngl im already ranking madrid drive pretty high because of how unique its looking say what you want about it being relatively flat, im still thinking it'll be one of the best city tracks in mk8dx

[@cpcantimark]

(not saying i think that's how you came across, just putting this statement out there lol)

[@TheOmniverse1]

@AlbertBoris Who knows what'll happen to Mario Kart Tour. However, if Mario Kart Tour somehow keeps getting new content beyond what people assume... And if Mario Kart 8 Deluxe receives even more DLC beyond the Booster Course Pass... I hope to see more City Courses taking place in areas of our planet Earth that have yet to receive Mario Kart representation in the form of courses, particularly... - South America - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Rio Rally) - Africa - Other areas: Mexico, Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, etc. - Etc. After all, I feel that all the continents of our planet Earth should each have at least 1 track to represent each continent.

[@tytsuw2320]

yeah in overwatch even Antarctica is represented so Mario kart could make an Antarctic track, Though is suppose ice ice outpost is already that

[@jaifroid5133]

if we get more cities after Madrid, I hope we will get far less European cities. It's litteraly half of the cities in mkt so far, and i agree that South America and Africa deserve representation (with Rio, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg or Cairo).

[@TheOmniverse1]

@@jaifroid5133 Not to mention other areas that are either parts of a continent but are still well-known, such as Mexico, the Bahamas, the Caribbean Islands, etc.; additional areas of a country like Hawaii, Alaska, & so on for the USA; or other regions with names similar to the continents, like Central America, Latin America, the Arctic Circle, etc.

[@skc4188]

@@jaifroid5133 I have this criticism as well. Berlin and Athens were great, and Paris was a decent starter, but London and Amsterdam were unwanted filer fodder. And Rome isn't impressing me in the slightest. We'll see how Madrid fares. The music is very promising, so that's a good signal.

[@MrYee-xf6ze]

Looking forward on how Madrid Drive looks on the map as well as this course coming into wave 6.

[@alex20swag58]

It’s a shame that MK Tour they haven’t done yet a city course based on Latin America or Africa, and won’t have it never. What a wasted opportunity to make a city from these two to turn it in a city course

[@skc4188]

Yeah, Europe has been badly overrepresented. They're for MK Tour what Fire Emblem has been for Smash Bros.

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

8:02 In this case, I'm happy that they changed it. Rome has nothing to do at the end of a cup.

[@diegoalejandroelizaldemarq6621]

And there it goes the opportunity of getting a Latin American, African or Middle Eastern track

[@skc4188]

Europe is the Fire Emblem of Mario Kart Tour

[@DraftyDaftyHubertOHare]

7:03 that may not be the same case in 8DX, as LA Laps proved

[@johnnymind4151]

Great predictions as usual, looking forward to seeing if they are correct! Lame name aside, Madrid Drive looks great and sounds even better so if it is indeed the last completely new track in Tour they're going out with a bang, can't wait to race on it in Tour next week and later in 8 Deluxe, too!

[@Vinniflame]

Before I say anything, I just wanted to say, your Spanish with your amazing accent is beautiful. Anyways, I'm a little disappointed this course wasn't Merida, but I'm pretty happy with what I see, looks to be shaping up really good with the datamined assets! Can't wait to play 💛🇪🇸

[@nickolassussybaka437]

I am excited for this city track

[@CaptainRillaboomArmenia]

Tbh I played Tour again, and I still feel like I didn't take it for granted. It's just boring and too slow. I'm still grateful for it being what gave us the Booster Course Pass though.

[@Lymington214]

@@eduardoxenofonte4004 nah even if Tour wasn’t considered mainline (it is) tech and game companies have a tendency to skip the number 9 and go right to 10. It’s just a more hype number. Whether it will be 10 or X is up for debate but I don’t think there’s a shot it’ll be Mario Kart 9. I’d like a creative subtitle but I think that Mario Kart 10/X is honestly better for marketing than any actually interesting subtitle.

[@MarioandJulius]

@@AlbertBoris okay because to me music is a little bit similar to Rome Avanti but more upbeat and adventurous

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

Well, I just hope it ends up good in the end. We just need the third variants of Athens Dash, Rome Avanti, and Madrid Drive after this tour coming up, and hopefully, Wave 6 will also be good! Predictions-wise, I actually decided this order for Wave 6: Acorn Cup: Tour Rome Avanti SNES Bowser Castle 3 Piranha Plant Cove/Deep Moray Trench (New) GCN DK Mountain Spiny Cup: Tour Madrid Drive/Fiesta Piranha Plant Pipeline/Warp Pipe Canyon (New) GBA Bowser Castle 4 Wii Rainbow Road The two characters could be anything, but R.O.B. would be a nice surprise. We know about the cities, the nitros, the SNES track (Which I hope will be used because it’s really good) and the Wii track (Which would be a missed opportunity if they didn’t use it), but the GCN courses are a little blurry, aside from a possible DK Mountain/Dino Dino Jungle spot. For that missing track, it could be anything. I didn’t want too many Wii tracks to appear in 8 Deluxe, so that they could have another opportunity in a future entry, but I didn’t want it to clash too much with other courses. That’s why I chose both Bowser Castles, but split them to appear in different cups, being similar to previous placements. Who knows? We’ll find out soon!

[@kaiserbill25]

Maybe Airship Fortress instead of GBA bowser castle 4 since that clashes slightly less with SNES Bowser Castle 3.
