Mario Kart Wii Cups Ranked

Ranking the Cups of Mario Kart Wii
Hello my viewers! Having ranked the cups of Mario Kart DS and ranted on the same game, I thought I should talk about a different Mario Kart game, that I have more fond memories of, and rank the cups here instead.

The star cup is by far the most nostalgic cup in my opinion. I remember my dad unlocking it for me (because I was terrible then) and because it was new, that was the only cup I had played. Especially tracks like daisy circuit and Koopa cape because I wasn’t good enough for maple treeway and grumble volcano

[@luigissidekick861]

You know seeing this list actually kinda makes me wanna play Mario Kart Wii again and make my own list since I have no idea how I’d rank all the cups in this game lol

[@AlbertBoris]

It's definitely one of the most fun games to come back to.

[@lilwartank1]

This makes me wanna see something like an "Every mushroom cup ranked" list, I love seeing the small little comparisons you make between the cups and how they differ each game, (plus would be cool to see opinions on which game did the theming the best) maybe one day once more are ranked

[@tankxander127]

Someone else actually did make that ranking, as well as an every flower cup ranking, if you look it up it should pop up

"UnfunnyMeat" did a ranking of every mushroom-, flower- and starcup (each individual videos)

[@Doggie1999]

My personal favorite cup in the game is the Star Cup. It's probably my favorite cup in the series, actually.

[@calebdonaldson8770]

Yeah, Mario Kart Wii's track layout is absolutely off the rails both in terms of consistency and complexity. The mushroom and shell cups do start out a bit slowly, but everything from that point on is absolute fire! I honestly don't mind the Mario circuits, I find them pretty fun, and I'm a huge fan of Shy Guy Beach.

[@ArtimisArcher]

The Underdog Shy Guy Beach

[@someperson3883]

I hate the Leaf Cup

[@Tumble64]

You pointed out something interesting in wgm, on the rail bit on how you can just, explore unlike the other games (except double dash), it makes the tracks feel so lively, and as i put it, makes it feel like you're not supposed to be driving there to begin with which adds so much more to the tracks, instead of being a generic racetrack, even for tracks like moonview highway and daisy circuit, the stair shortcut and the fact that you're go-karting on a literal highway, it makes it part of the reason why this and double dash are my favorite mario kart games, also, long live dolphin dasher.

[@Jellyman1129]

I agreed with basically every cup’s placement on this list! My favorite cup is the Star Cup for many reasons. Not only was it nostalgic to unlock a new cup for the first time and being excited about new tracks, but the new tracks it included blew me away! It starts pretty normal with Daisy Circuit. Then Koopa Kape amazed me with its speeding river and diving into a giant pipe! Things get even better with GORGEOUS Maple Treeway (being a pun for “freeway”) and spiraling on a maple tree with weaving branches and bouncing on a net to the finish line. How could this get better? By giving you the most difficult challenge of all, the grandest of finales: Grumble Volcano. My favorite Mariokart track of all time! The glowing lava, the sky wiggling from the heat waves, the floating embers, the fireballs raining down onto the track from distant volcanoes. The best gimmick has to be pieces of the track falling apart as you race! Sometimes you’ll get stranded on a sinking piece as the track becomes more and more difficult to maneuver. It has one of the most famous ultra shortcuts where you can jump onto the side of a rock and fly off to the other side of the track, cutting your lap time in half! The ominous music, the sounds of fire crackling, and the road becoming bumpy and unstable! You could be doing so well in the Star Cup and get close to achieving a top rank only to lose it all at the last track and for some reason I LOVE that! This cup showed how amazing the tracks in this game could really be! I had moderate expectations when first playing the game with Moo Moo Meadows and DK Summit, but the tracks in the Star Cup really amazed me as the tracks were getting more challenging, more creative, and more mind-bending with the opening cutscenes showing off towering structures and monumental turns! It’s the most nostalgic cup to me and it’s what made Mariokart Wii my favorite Mariokart! It was also my first Mariokart, so I was astounded! The Special Cup really is special as the tracks are basically the Star Cup on steroids. It’s my second favorite cup with Moonview Highway being my second favorite Mariokart track of all time! The speed, the glowing lights with the midnight atmosphere, the cars swerving everywhere, the sounds, everything! It’s another phenomenal track, I just wish it had a shortcut or two as it’s pretty linear. The Star Cup is my personal favorite, but I can absolutely see why the Special Cup is placed just above it. Also the Bowser’s Castle soundtrack being a slowed and distorted version of Maple Treeway’s SHOCKED me! I’ve been playing this game since 2011 and I NEVER noticed that until just now watching this video! Wow! This game keeps on giving! 🏁 Great rankings, great video! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ivanzoneBR]

I love Mario Kart Wii Star Cup more but the Special Clup is basically flawless.

[@Popplio_hi]

Star cup hard carries the game

[@MrCoffeeCrisp_]

Yay Im excited to watch

[@alice06442]

Late but here is my rank: 8- Shell Cup (Kinda hate all the tracks) 7- Lightning (Sure it has DK Mointain, but tbh, it has the Worst BC, MC3 and an ok Peach Garden...) 6- Leaf (It maybe have the worst Desert track, but tbh, Mario Circuit and DK Jungle Parway are really good. BC3 is ok) 5- Banana (Despite having the worst track of the game (Cheep Cheep Beach), the other 3 are really good) 4- Mushroom (Ok, Luigi Circuis is not good, but tbh, all the others 3 tracks and specially Toad Factory are just too good) 3- Flower (The worst nitro is Mario Circuit, and i'm kinda bored of WGM, but this cup still is my Father fav) 2- Special (Tracks aren't that special for a Special cup (a desrt an higway, a castle...) but the 4 tracks did it amazingly! Best BC and RR) 1- Star (Sorry, but I'm a Maple Treeway fan, it's my all time fav track. Grumble Volcano and Koopa Cape are amazing, like prob in my top 20 both fav track of all time, and Daisy Circuit is awesome as a circuit.) I'm pretty sure if Nintendo called Daisy Circuit, Daisy Harbor it would be way better!

[@dripp_dropp]

Hey albert, I seen your ds video and i thought it was great, didnt notice you uploaded weekly, new sub here!

[@porgchassle2266]

I completely agree. I also love special and how great daisy circut actually is.

[@VMan776]

Before watching your video I ranked the cups in my opinion for comparison, and our lists were nearly identical. The only difference is I put the leaf cup at 7th below the banana and mushroom cups because it doesn't have any downright amazing tracks like Toad's Factory in mushroom or Waluigi Stadium in banana. Definitely agree with you on the whole, though. Great video!

[@lightninja4795]

@@mubzytv Sorry i dissagree. Yes the original 8 that yes i would agree but 8dx no. 8dx has a better battle mode. More modes and no forced teams. All charcaters from wii and almost all of wiis new tracks are in 8dx. 11/16. The only things i will give wii over 8 but its really a preferance. Wii just has you pick a premade kart while 8 has you build it it just comes down to which you prefer each have their own pros. But i prefer the premade karts and 2 its more skilled based. Wii is not the only skilled based game 8dx can be skilled based but wii is the best win it comes down to skill base vs luck. So yeah other than 8dx No team battle mode and more battle mode modes All wii characters plus ones wii dont have such as petey kamek pauline wiggilar lakitu crossover charcaters 11/16 wii tracks Retro tracks were more reminged than wiis were. Less cooy and paste. Ribbon road added anti gravity. Moo moo meadows added glider. Toads turnpike driving on walls. Tik tok clock glider. Most tracks Wii More skill based Premade karts I wonder who wins lol.

[@IDoFNaFLMAO]

Although i havent played wii alot, i do know that i prefer diddy kong in the wild wing

[@mubzytv]

Star Cup is my favourite cup from Mario Kart Wii

[@CaptainRillaboom]

I’m rating every nitro track in this game: Luigi Circuit: Worst nitro in the game. Too short, and very boring. 3/10. Moo Moo Meadows: It’s a good improvement from Moo Moo Farm. The cows are finally more than just scenery. And it has a cool ranch, almost Far West atmosphere. 7/10. Mushroom Gorge: Really cool! The idea of putting bouncy mushrooms is really great, and it’s the best way to make a grassland track not boring. 8/10. Toad’s Factory: Probably the best track from any Mushroom Cup. This has various obstacles, a cool concept, and the music makes for a climatic finale for the Mushroom Cup. 10/10! Mario Circuit: Mid. It’s just a figure-8, but I like the little town. 5/10. Coconut Mall: Obviously, great. A great music, a cool concept, a nice vacation atmosphere, and so much chaos. 9/10! DK Summit (yes I call it DK Summit, DK’s Snowboard Cross is too much of a mouthful for me): Peak, and the word is appropriate! It’s exhilarating, with a great music, a cool concept, and nice trick potential! 10/10! Wario’s Gold Mine: This track feels like a roller coaster, and as a coaster enthusiast, I love that. It has a good layout and cool scenery. I love it. 10/10! Daisy Circuit: This is not a circuit. This is peak! It has a romantic, almost relaxing atmosphere, and the scenery with the sunset is sooo pretty. 9/10! Koopa Cape: Great track! What carries this track is the tunnel, and as WGM feels like a roller coasters, KC feels like a water slide. It feels actually really cool. 8/10! Maple Treeway: This may be the most relaxing MK track. It has great music, great layout, great atmosphere, great obstacles, and great scenery! There’s nothing to complain about! 10/10! Grumble Volcano: This is a peak ominous-style track. I love how it almost feels like you’re racing in actual h€ll. It adds a creepy vibe that I love. I also like the SMB3 references. 9/10! Dry Dry Ruins: The best MK desert track. I love how various it is. The section in the ruins really elevates this track from a simple desert track to something much more memorable. 9/10! Moonview Highway: The chaotic nature of this track was perfect for MKWii. It’s sooo fun to play, with the cars, the fun layout, the peak music, and the snazzy night setting. 10/10! Wii Bowser’s Castle: This is the 2nd best Bowser’s Castle, challenged only by the N64 version. It has an ominous, almost hopeless music, and I love how it combines creepiness and chaos. 10/10! Rainbow Road: The best iteration of RR! It feels like a roller coaster, and just like in DS and GCN, that are 2nd and 3rd in my RR ranking, the action is non-stop! Tight turns, speed boosts, exhilarating jumps, and cool atmosphere. It’s the perfect finale, and all of this is topped by the epic music. 10/10!

Top 3 1.Flower 2.Special 3.Lightning

[@Sakf504]

As someone who has grown with this game, I feel I'm in the minority in regards of thinking the nitro selection here actually wasn't that stelar. Heck, i used to be really fascinated with the older MKs a while back and i even used to have the Leaf and Lightning cups as my favorites from this game (which definitely isn't a very popular opinion lmao). Still, my ranking would be something like this: (Long af rants incoming. Again, my opinion is a bit more on the unpopular side) 8. Shell Cup (Duh. Even i know it's not the greatest selection of tracks when i have Ghost Valley 2 as my standout track here lmao. Gotta note about Mario Raceway though. It might look decent at first but the track is way too simplistic, large and boring for it's own good, plus being a complete RNG track thanks to the fact you can skip a sh t load of it thanks to grass cuts being everywhere. One of the weakest Mario circuits for sure). 7. Mushroom Cup (Luigi Circuit it's actually not that bad for a beginning course and it's certainly iconic, but it's still doesn't go beyond that. Moo Moo Meadows it's just ok and Mushroom Gorge despite being one of my personal favorites, i honestly think gameplay wise doesn't really go beyond a really solid Mushroom Cup track. Toad's Factory it's so good and does so much for a Mushroom cup track (and especially one that's practically a oval) though, definite standout here) 6. Leaf Cup (I'll admit it, both Desert Hills and DK Jungle Parkway really don't do much for me. Nice theming for both but fairly boring gameplay wise. GCN Mario Circuit is a fairly underrated circuit. Despite not doing much with his theming, it visually has a kinda welcoming vibe to it (despite being from the Leaf Cup lmao) and it has a really solid and fun layout despite the weird fact that it only has a shortcut at the start. Plus, DD's circuit theme is one of my all time favorite themes in the series. It's the only circuit track I'd actually consider good here (excluding the SNES one). GBA Bowser Castle 3 is also a great track from Super Circuit that thankfully didn't got butchered in the process (*cough* DS BC2 *cough*)) 5. Star Cup (HEAR ME OUT PLEASE. Maple Treeway and Koopa Kape are both bangers, i know, but they aren't from the most consistent cup here. I often hear Daisy Circuit being called as the underrated, the standout or only good circuit track from this game, but even then i really can't see why. Visually it's gorgeous and it's definitely a track I'd play for something like that, but it really matters that much when the track only has a okay-ish layout with a bad stair shortcut plastered on it? And even for a Star Cup circuit it isn't even that good, because you have DS Mario Circuit right there as a better example (and an *actually underrated* track IMO). I don't even think the theme is that good. Luigi Circuit's theme ironically did it way better despite being very simplistic. And for the *real* unpopular opinion. Grumble Volcano might have an absolutely great theming, but the track itself is a messy, convoluted piece of hot garbage, and the main reason of the cup's low placement. Sorry.) 4. Banana Cup (Sherbet Land and Shy Guy Beach are fairly lame tracks, but this cup really got two of my all time favorites with Delfine Square and Waluigi Stadium (the best retro choice for MKWii easily). Even then, the lows here aren't nearly as low as Grumble Volcano (then again, sorry), hence the higher placement) 3. Flower Cup (Mario Circuit = Figure 8 Circuit + Chain Chomp + dumb RNG. Worst track of the game that lowers the place of a otherwise great cup here. I admitedly have a bit of bias with Wario's Goldmine here compared to other tracks, but eh.) 2. Lightning Cup (I know, the fact whenever Mario Circuit 3 is actually considered good greatly depends of who you ask, but F it, it was always a blast for me despite being very generic. And the rest of this cup got a banger list of retros anyway.) 1. Special Cup (Really the most consistent cup here regarding great nitro tracks. Dry Dry Ruins especially is my favorite desert track alongside SS's Yoshi Desert (another underrated one, lol). Moonview Highway is another fairly divisive track, but even with the weirdly incosistent layout, it's always fun to blast through all the boost panels later in the track and it really has an awesome theming. And then you have one of the best Bowser Castles and Rainbow Roads each, nuff said.) A small edit since i kinda forgot about it with all this ranting: *Dolphin Dasher Forever WOOOOOOOH*

[@thezeldalovingbrony7930]

For me: 8. Shell Cup (Easy last place imo. Peach Beach and Yoshi Falls are ok but Ghost Valley 2 is really bland and Mario Raceway I don't really like personally.) 7. Leaf Cup (I like DK's Jungle Parkway and I do enjoy GCN Mario Circuit. GBA BC3 I find to just be ok and Desert Hills imo is awful.) 6. Flower Cup (Mario Circuit is a decent Mario Circuit. Coconut Mall imo is really overrated and is only decent. DK's Snowboard Cross is pretty good and Wario's Gold Mine is awesome!) 5. Mushroom Cup (This is a good cup. Luigi Circuit is boring but Moo Moo Meadows beats Moo Moo Farm any day imo. Mushroom Gorge is really fun and Toad's Factory has a really cool theme.) 4. Lightning Cup (SNES MC3 brings this cup down but I do agree Peach Gardens is quite underrated, DK Mountain is great and N64 BC is my second favourite retro course is the game.) 3. Banana Cup (I actually really like N64 Sherbet Land, GBA Shy Guy is the weak track but I still think it's ok, DS Delfino Square is my third favourite retro track in the game and Waluigi Stadium is one of my favourite courses of all time in its Wii incarnation even though the DD version was already great and its my favourite retro in the game.) 2. Special Cup (This track has one of my favourite courses of all time in Rainbow Road. Dry Dry Ruins is a good Desert course. Moonview Highway is a contender for the best traffic themed course in the series. Bowser's Castle is also imo a contender for the best Bowser's Castle. 1. Star Cup (What's not to love about this cup, Daisy Circuit blows every other circuit out of the water! Koopa Cape is a really great track. Maple Treeway is one of the greatest of all time imo and while Grumble Volcano is the weakest in this cup for me it's still pretty decent. Let me know what you think of my list!

Even though you called DK's Jungle Parkway "DK's Jungle Adventure", I'm not going to winge about it like your cringey, annoying brother, Albert, as I actually think that the name you called it actually sounds better than the original. And yes. I did call his brother cringey and annoying.

@@P1r4n I have actually, quite a mid game tbh… Mushroom Gorge - A bit overrated but fine, it’s pretty good Toad’s Factory - Probably the best track in the game with maybe the exception of the Retro Star Cup tracks… Coconut Mall is and always was, super mid, the theming is kinda nice but layout-wise it’s good, but not amazing or anything… Wario’s Gold Mine really isn’t too much of a standout track, neither in Wii nor 8, (although it is slightly more fun in 8, It’s still just kind of okay)… Koopa Cape, Maple Treeway and DK’s Snowboard Cross are pretty damn good tracks… Grumble Volcano sucks in both versions of it so don’t bring that up as a “good track” when it objectively really isn’t… Wii Bowser’s Castle is overrated as hell and is mid at best…

[@P1r4n]

@PlayerLGamer059 in what world is Grumble Volcano 'objectively' not a good track? I don't really know what you're using as your source for objectivity?

[@playerlgamer0592]

@@P1r4n oh gee idk, layout, theming, etc? Just like how for an example, the *original* SNES tracks are objectively boring and just mid layouts unless they drastically change them… Grumble Volcano is *WAY* too easy to be at the end of the Star Cup, and it’s layout is less interesting than like half of the Flower Cup… and it’s theming is one of the most generic ever, *“ooh a Volcano how epic”* Sit down Kid…

This game’s mushroom cup is the best mushroom cup in the series

[@menstesticles]

Definitely

[@clayhill5594]

Hi

[@azumarill964]

Ahhh, finally another “banana is the last cup and Waluigi Stadium is the last track” kid.

[@anthonybarber3220]

It’s honestly very hard to make a list like this. This game has some the best cups in this series.

[@mariobroultimate1808]

Mario Kart Wii isn't the best selling game in the series anymore. 8 Deluxe outsold it.

[@aliciacleeland2257]

My favorite track is most likely DK summit! Toads factory too! To me it's so fun!

[@Snwmn-mh2tp]

0:23 this is actually wrong mario kart 8 deluxe sold about 10 million more than wii and that doesn't even include the 8 million copies the wii u version sold

[@playerlgamer0592]

lol, in total if we count 8 and 8DX together, they’ve sold 30 million more copies than Wii…

[@choppiemcdonald]

Wii isn't the bestselling, 8 deluxe is

[@toxicjoshua7934]

Wii just doesn’t have any bad tracks not even the circuit tracks, there just in cups they don’t belong in and just too many in general. This game lightning cup is almost perfect if it wasn’t for Mario circuit 3 Also give desert hills some love I love the music and the look of the track 💛 Wii star cup might be my favourite cup of all of Mario kart too 💛

[@wilbur5639]

I just realised how good Wiis Nitros are and it has the best Nitro Track selection ever!

[@micurides]

nah star cup #1 imo

[@thesmellofadventure5370]

8: Shell Cup (GCN Peach Beach isn’t bad, DS Yoshi Falls is boring, SNES Ghost Valley 2 is very bad, I like N64 Mario Raceway) 7: Leaf Cup (DS Desert Hills is empty, GBA Bowser’s Castle is okay, N64 DK Jungle Parkway is cool, why did they add GCN Mario Circuit) 6: Banana Cup (GBA Shy Guy Beach is bland, N64 Sherbet Land is fun, DS Delfino Squares is incredible, GCN Waluigi Stadium is a stand out) 5: Lightning Cup (SNES Mario Circuit 3 is lame, DS Peach Gardens is one of my favorites, GCN DK Mountain is iconic, N64 Bowser Castle is great) 4: Special Cup (Dry Dry Ruins isn’t my favorite, Moonview Highway is insane but overrated, Bowser’s Castle is the best version, Rainbow Road is the face of Mariokart) 3: Mushroom Cup (Luigi Circuit is pretty weak, Moo Moo Meadows is great, Mushroom Gorge is very fun, Toads Factory is one of the best!) 2: Star Cup (Daisy Circuit is interesting, Koopa Cape is crazy, Maple Treeway is a classic, Grumble Volcano is difficult) 1: Flower Cup (Mario Circuit is the worst one, Coconut Mall is top teir, DK Summit is magical, Wario’s Gold Mine is my favorite ever too!)

[@menstesticles]

Wow you are wrong

[@ggellis3371]

Shell Cups are the most dissapointing cups in the entire series.

[@Bruh08]

mario kart 8 has a really good shell cup

[@ggellis3371]

@@Bruh08 2 great tracks, 1 decent track and an awful one.

[@playerlgamer0592]

@@ggellis3371 Which one is decent, and which one is awful? I’m genuinely interested…

[@shadowdoublade3333]

I think the lightning cup is worse than the mushroom cup for the sole reason of snes mario circuit 3 no i haven't gotten over it it's the worst track in the series Edit: you didn't put star cup at #1, your opinion is invalid
