Mario Kart 9: Retro Track Predictions

In this video I will be showing what tracks I think might return in the next Mario Kart game, from the Shell to Lightning Cup. Feel free to comment down below what tracks you would like to see or think would have a good chance coming to the next Mario Kart instalment.

Nice predictions 👍

[@AftraxEdits]

So, imma send my predicts right here. Before that I explain 1 perticular thing, being that I wont include tracks from WiiU/NS in it. The Reason why I wont include these is simple, they are already perfect in the way they are and I dont see any point from them to be changed in a new way. I mean they are already in a perfect graphical stand, unlike other courses from previous gens wich lack of up to date graphics. Including WiiU/NS tracks would therefore be very filler. Also I will include Retro Tracks, that were already remaked. Since the BCP had the chance to finish of the entirety of MK with remaking every retro track and didnt, because of including tracks that were already remaked. I thing this pattern will cover the next MK aswell. Shell Cup: DS: Figure 8 Circuit SNES: Vanilla Lake 2 N64: Koopa Troopa Beach 3DS: Shy Guy Bazaar Banana Cup: GCN: Mushroom City GBA: Yoshi Desert Wii: Toad's Factory 3DS: Wuhu Loop Leaf Cup: N64: Frappé Snowland GBA: Lakeside Park DS: Delfino Square GCN: Wario Colosseum Lightning Cup: Wii: Dry Dry Ruins GBA: Luigi Circuit 3DS: Maka Wuhu N64: Bowser's Castle Bullet Bill Cup: 3DS: Mario Circuit GBA: Broken Pier GCN: Dino Dino Jungle DS: Airship Fortress Blue Shell Cup: N64: Wario Stadium DS: DK Pass Wii: Bowser's Castle GCN: Rainbow Road

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Nice predictions for retro tracks, I completely get it not including Mario Kart 8/Deluxe Tracks because the graphics of those tracks are pretty good.

[@AftraxEdits]

@@NathanR.DeBoer Thank you, but I can see WiiU/NS tracks come back in the Mario Kart after MK9 though. Also some of our predictions were similar so lets hope the tracks in MK9 will be bangers.

[@Sammykyt]

Great video! I think it's very likely that just like in Mario Kart 8, we will get all retro courses that haven't been remade yet outside of Tour and the Super Circuit SNES remixes in the base game, while getting a lot of fan favorites regardless of it they have been remade in the DLC. With that being said, here are my predictions for the Mario Kart 9 base game retro courses: 🐢 3DS Daisy Hills GBA Cheep-Cheep Island Wii U Thwomp Ruins Wii Toad's Factory 🍌 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar Wii U Toad Harbor Wii Dry Dry Ruins SNES Mario Circuit 4 🍁 SNES Vanilla Lake 1 N64 Wario Stadium Wii U Sunshine Airport GCN Mushroom City ⚡ GCN Wario Colosseum DS Bowser Castle 3DS Maka Wuhu GBA Rainbow Road

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Thank you.

[@Sammykyt]

@@NathanR.DeBoer Np! What do you think of my predictions?

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

@@Sammykyt Looks pretty good, but as much as I would love to see both N64 Wario Stadium and GCN Wario Colosseum, I don't know if they will bring both tracks (at least in the base game) because their both based on Wario but than again maybe they could.

[@Sammykyt]

@@NathanR.DeBoer Thank you and that’s fair enough. Also, much of the reason I didn’t add Mount Wario and Wario Shipyard is because that would be too many Wario tracks for the base game.

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Nice prediction list.

[@Peppizza73]

​@@NathanR.DeBoerMaybe I should remove Twisted Mansion for Cheep Cheep Island since I'm not sure if it is very unlikely to only get one GBA track.

I like your taste and I like the emojis you used for the tracks too

My predictions (I know you're all predicting GBA Rainbow Road, but listen, I think it's too bland, so I'm going with GCN instead): 20 nitro, 20 retro Shell Cup: DS Figure-8 Circuit GBA Riverside Park U Sweet Sweet Canyon 3DS Daisy Hills Banana Cup: U Thwomp Ruins SNES Ghost Valley 1 GCN Mushroom City 3DS Mario Circuit Bell Cup: 3DS Neo Bowser City U Sunshine Airport SNES Bowser Castle 2 Wii Wario's Gold Mine Leaf Cup: N64 Wario Stadium GBA Sunset Wilds U Electrodrome 3DS Rock Rock Mountain Lightning Cup: U Cloudtop Cruise 3DS Maka Wuhu GBA Bowser Castle 4 GCN Rainbow Road (potentially, music totally revamped as part of a joint venture with Kids II to orchestrate the Baby Einstein version of the 3rd movement of Beethoven's 1st symphony)

[@ludwigdudeiscool]

My predictions: Shell cup: 3DS Mario circuit, Wii U twisted mansion, GCN Dino Dino jungle, Wii toad’s factory. Banana cup: DS airship fortress, SNES koopa beach 1, GCN mushroom bridge, tour Yoshi’s Island. Leaf cup: DS Delphino square, N64 DK jungle parkway, Wii U Thwomp ruins, Wii U hyrule circuit. Lightning cup: Wii U electrodrome, GCN baby park, Wii bowser’s castle, GBA rainbow road. Quick disclaimer: only like 50% of these tracks I think will make it these are just the tracks that I want to see. PS read my reply to this comment👇🏻👇🏻

[@ludwigdudeiscool]

Ok Maybe 2 Wii U tracks in the same cup is a bit unrealistic so I will replace thwomp ruins with Wii maple treeway

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Nice predictions.

[@jakeperr636]

My predictions (also I reckon we’ll get 6 retro cups, because it’ll be weird going from mk 8 deluxe’s bcp to only 4 retro cups): Shell Cup Ds Figure 8 Circuit 3ds Daisy Hills N64 Moo Moo Farms Wii Toad’s Factory Banana Cup Gcn Peach Beach Wii Mario Circuit Snes Choco Island 1 Wii u Thwomp Ruins Acorn Cup 3ds Wario’s Galleon Snes Vanilla Lake 1 Ds Delfino Square Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Leaf Cup N64 Frappe Snowland GBA Cheep Cheep Island Wii u Shy Guy Falls Gcn Mushroom City Spiny Cup GBA Broken Pier N64 Wario’s Stadium Tour Ninja Hideaway 3ds Wuhu Island Loop Lightning Cup Wii Dry Dry Ruins Wii u Electrodrome Gcn Bowser’s Castle Ds Rainbow Road DLC cups: Golden Mushroom Cup Gcn Mario Circuit (Nitro) Wii Koopa Cape (Nitro) Propeller Cup Snes Dount Plains 2 (N) Wii u Sunshine Airport (N) Cherry Cup N64 Banshee Boardwalk (N) Wii Coconut Mall (N) Egg Cup 3ds Shy Guy Bazaar (N) Gcn Wario Colosseum (N) Feather Cup Wii u Super Bell Subway (N) N64 DK’s Jungle Parkway (N) Lava Bubble Cup GBA Rainbow Road (N) Ds Airship Fortress (N) Now for battle tracks: GBA Battle Course 4 Ds Tart Top Wii Funky Stadium Wii u (yes I know technically it came out on the switch, but if I say switch then it’ll probably confusing for new players) Dragon Palace DLC Battle tracks: Snes Battle Course 3 N64 Double Deck Gcn Tilt-A-Kart 3ds Honey Bee House

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Nice predictions, I completely get it with doing more than 4 retro cups, I just couldn’t figure out more tracks to decide on and what the cups would be called.

[@ratabreak3902]

Great video I also did a retro track selection Shell Cup DS Figure 8 Circuit SNES Koopa Beach 1 Wii U Sweet Sweet Canyon Wii Toad's Factory Banana Cup Wii Mario Circuit SNES Bowser's Castle 2 Wii U Shy Guy Falls/Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline 3DS Wuhu Loop Leaf Cup GCN Mushroom City N64 Wario Stadium GBA Broken Pier Wii U Cloudtop Cruise Lighning Cup GCN Wario Colloseum Wii U Electrodrome 3DS Maka Wuhu GBA Rainbow Road

[@Sammykyt]

I would rather not have Figure-8 Circuit, maybe replace Koopa Beach 1 with a different SNES track like Mario Circuit 4, replace Wii Mario Circuit with Dry Dry Ruins, SNES Bowser Castle 2 with Vanilla Lake 1, Broken Pier with Cheep-Cheep Island, and Electrodrome with Sunshine Airport. I agree with the rest of your picks.

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Thank you and nice track selection for retro tracks.

[@JSoldierPro]

Honestly I think we’ll see 24 retros in the next game at release. I don’t see Nintendo going back to 32 tracks at launch after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe though I of course could be wrong. Anyways nice predictions! If this were the retro track lineup we got I’d be happy!😁

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Thank you!

[@BmuXD]

What about 20 retros?

[@JSoldierPro]

@@BmuXD Why would we get specifically 20?

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Hey that’s a great idea for retro tracks, I’ve had ideas for 12 cups in the past but I had a hard time deciding what the 4 new cups would be, which is why in this video I have only 4 retro cups instead of 6, but I’m not against the idea of 12 cups.

[@CaptainRillaboom]

@@NathanR.DeBoer I could even imagine a DLC starting with a Tour wave, with some new city tracks and Tour retros, and of course, the return of Piranha Plant Pipeline. Then an Arcade GP wave, with mostly retros from the Arcade GP games, and nitros following the Arcade GP tracks themes, before ending the DLC (and hopefully, the game) with Arcade GP’s Rainbow Road before letting MK9’s place to MKX. Both waves would have 3 cups, wrapping the whole game with 18 cups.

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

Nice list, when I was jotting down the tracks for each cup I kept constantly changing around the courses because of leaving other tracks behind with the exception of GBA Rainbow Road because that track will without a doubt return whenever this next Mario Kart game comes out, even with current predictions I have I feel like I could change some tracks.

[@burnt-potatoes]

@@NathanR.DeBoer Yeah i tried to use tracks that have never been remade (tour doesn’t count, even though most of these aren’t in tour anyway)

[@angus80w]

Replace Figure 8 Circuit with Mario Circuit 4

[@Sammykyt]

W take although Mario Circuit 4 should be in the banana or leaf cup

[@BmuXD]

​@@SammykytLightning, its too hard

[@Sammykyt]

@@BmuXD No, I wouldn’t put it in Lightning due to its simplicity

[@SMPSMLParodies_]

@@SammykytSammy?

[@Sammykyt]

@@SMPSMLParodies_ Yep!

[@spncrprkr]

good with everything except figure 8 circuit lol

[@ratabreak3902]

I think we need a balance between simple and complex tracks and also Figure 8 Circuit being a DS track with no remakes can be greatly improved

[@Frobilen]

Wouldn't it be mario kart 10? Because Nintendo considers tour as mk9

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

I guess it would be, I just put Mario Kart 9 because there’s no game actually called Mario Kart 9.

[@Frobilen]

@@NathanR.DeBoer actually, i feel like piranha plant pipeline should've been included in the retros, because they didn't put it in the BCP, and it's whole purpose was to preserve the original tracks in tour, but pipeline was left out, which makes people believe it's being saved for the next mario kart game

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

I kind of hope Piranha Plant Pipeline makes it as well, I didn’t include it because I’m not entirely sure if Nintendo will classify it as a retro track or not because excluding the city tracks in the Booster Course Pass, the non-city tracks introduced in Mario Kart Tour lack the tour prefix and it makes me wonder if Nintendo will just consider it a new track.

[@SMPSMLParodies_]

No pipeline?

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

The only reason I didn’t include Piranha Plant Pipeline, is because I’m not sure if Nintendo will count it as a retro track or a nitro track, because all the non-city tour tracks in the Booster Course lack the tour prefix as if Nintendo is presenting them as nitro tracks, I do hope that they include Pipeline, in whatever way they can.

[@SMPSMLParodies_]

@@NathanR.DeBoer they should add pipeline, it’s the rarest track in the series, and what was the point of them creating a whole track and music for it to only be played 2 times in 1 year!

[@NathanR.DeBoer]

I agree, especially since I’m not a big Mario Kart Tour player, I only play once in a while and I’ve never played Piranha Plant Pipeline yet, only seeing footage on KZbin.
