Mario Kart Wii is Overrepresented in the BCP

[@HDRookie]

Worth noting: Overrepresented does not mean doesn’t deserve to be the most represented. And for the record, yes I know that Moonview Highway has the "cnsw_63" file name. No, that does not mean Daisy Circuit was the track that replaced Mushroom Bridge. You all are way too purist when it comes to information from datamining. Maple Treeway has the cnsw_62 file name. Does that mean it's in Wave 6? No! And in Waves 4-6, seemingly none of these courses maintained their original slots/purposes. The names are just placeholders. They were likely an original plan, that got mixed up as early as Wave 3. It's not really significant in the present day because half the tracks don't even match their indicated wave anymore. After Wave 5 came out I was the first to tell everyone that Mushroom Bridge would not be in Wave 6, and many people doubted me when I said the final track would be a mystery retro course that we don't know about. The very reason I said the mystery course would happen is because there was no longer a functional purpose to include Mushroom Bridge a wave after they put Moonview Highway in. And now that the mystery course has been revealed, proving this intuition correct, everyone says its the MB replacement now. Daisy Circuit could've co-existed with either traffic course. It was always going to be Daisy Circuit and one or the other between the other two. What most likely happened is they built Moonview Highway first and just gave it the vacant file name. It would explain why Moonview made Wave 5 instead of Daisy Circuit, despite file names indicating otherwise. Mushroom Bridge was no longer required once Moonview was added though. So they got rid of it because of MH. Daisy Circuit was just the track that got to take the vacated file name. Even if Mushroom Bridge and Moonview Highway files probably existed at the same time, that version of the Booster Pass was never going to get published.

This DLC was kinda just limited in general because it had to stick so closely to Mario Kart Tour and what was already in Tour (including its controversial track layout changes) If anything, the Booster Course Pass is basically meant to be the “Mario Kart Tour tracks and also a select handful of the Tour remakes of older tracks” pass (Tour’s internal name is even “Booster”)

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

I agree with swapping out a Wii course but I don’t think it should be daisy circuit. The remix they gave it and the sunset aesthetic both feel so retrospective, celebratory and nostalgic that I think it makes daisy circuit great as a track in the final wave. It’s still not a very interesting track but it just has that “end of the journey” feel. Personally I would much rather replace moonview highway, that inclusion seems much more random to me. And I can imagine its spot in wave 5 being a perfect place to include say, airship fortress or shy guy bazaar.

Really bummed that games like DS and 7 didn't get the love they deserved for having the best nitros in the series in my opinion, hell, even though Double Dash's tracks so far have been bangers, the game has been extremely underrepresented since the beginning. I just wish they would've gave each game equal treatment aside from maybe SMK or 64 (not enough good tracks for them to bring back imo) and actually cared about adding in more non-Wii fan favorites rather than doing the whole DS Mario Circuit situation

[@dogymacdogface.478]

All that DS was missing in my opinion was Airship Fortress. That over DS Mario Circuit would have been ideal. Delfino Square and Luigi's Mansion are great tracks but with how tight everything was personally all they needed was Airship Fortress

Should've ported the wuhu tracks to your and brought back them back honestly I would absolutely take losing moonview for Wuhu loop And now we likely won't ever see them remade as 8 seemed like the big game for crossovers and a Nintendo kart seems extremely unlikely MKX will probably return to the original Mario kart formula (with more cups probably) and have no crossovers which means the wuhu tracks won't return

Problem is, not many Wii tracks made it into Mario Kart 8 originally. And the only ones that did, were either tracks many people didn't ask for (Moo Moo Meadows, although that one is okay), or tracks that some people despised in the original game (Grumble Volcano, even though the remake is fantastic in my opinion). Wario's Gold Mine only made it in as DLC in the Wii U game, even though some people despised that track too in the original. Point is, they wanted to make it up to Mario Kart Wii fans for not porting that many Wii tracks into the base game to begin with.

Sometimes I randomly think it almost feels like the team used the BCP as a chance to realize the "vision" they had for some of the Wii courses (graphically and gameplayically) but couldn't fully back then due to the limitations of the Wii (with the Wii characters thrown in due to their popularity)

I love Wii's tracks and was more than satisfied with the selection we got up until now but i cant say i wasnt a little disappointed with Daisy Circuit taking the mystery slot in wave 6. After Wave 5, i was going to be satisfied with just Wii Rainbow Road in Wave 6 with the other 3 retros presumably being more varied picks, and i just wish that they had given some love to another game with lower representation for the mystery slot. Airship Fortress is the obvious pick in my mind, but even something like Wario Shipyard or another GBA track would have been nice to see. Not to mention we're most likely getting DK Mountain instead of DDJ which would mean out of all 4 retros we get in wave 6, 3 of them will also have existed in Wii which definitely feels like a little much. Heck, I'd even argue Mushroom Bridge was still a great pick to some extent considering it woukd also add a little more DS representation. Maybe not the best Wave 6 pick but still.

[@iviyohane]

A lot of the retro tracks in the BCP have been appeared before as retro tracks in other games. They truly wanted to sell the DLC, that's why they have chosen the most popular courses from the most popular games. For example: Daisy Cruiser is from MKDD, but it is in Tour and the BCP because it also appeared in MK7, a most recent and popular game than Double Dash. Mushroom City and Wario Colosseum, also from Double Dash, have never been in other games, therefore, it was unlikely (not impossible though) to see them included. Mario Kart Wii is the most popular MK game by far, so makes sense thy this game has the best representation in the BCP.

You forgot two things with the datamines: Dataminers found out that Waluigi Stadium was pushed back ahead of time by Maple Treeway before the reveal trailer came out. This happened after the Wave 3 teaser released. Also Moonview Highway is confirmed to be cnsw_63 (the mystery Tour nitro) and Daisy Circuit will most likely either be cnsw_56 or _66 depending which one the last GCN track picks up. But still essentially Moonview Highway filled up Mushroom Bridge’s niche while also replacing the scrapped/placeholder spot and Daisy Circuit subsequently taking up Bridge’s original placement. Still would’ve preferred both Moonview Highway and Mushroom Bridge (or Dry Dry Ruins if we were always getting a Wii replacement) personally over Daisy Circuit due to the interesting gameplay of Bridge and the lack of traffic courses still even with the BCP. Yes I think we needed 5 traffic courses out of 96 total tracks and just have 8 GCN tracks in general.

[@Alxium]

I'd argue that they are bringing back all the Wii tracks for the same reason they brought back 3DS and (presumably) Wii Rainbow Road. If they would have kept following the trends that started over 10 years ago with Mario Kart 7, we would had to have waited an obscenely long amount of time to see some of these courses in a new game (especially the Rainbow Roads). From a business perspective, it just doesn't make sense to wait around while Wii fans grow older and move on when they can bring back almost all the content in the current game to help keep them engaged with the franchise. My guess is that the next game will focus more heavily on Double Dash, SNES, DS, and GBA for its base retro selection (48 courses to start, with 48 more being added over time like the BCP)

[@HDRookie]

It makes sense for the Rainbow Roads. I even talked about this in my video about why they're not choosing certain courses for the Booster Pass (the one with wario and toad on the thumbnail). But for the other courses, it doesn't really make all that much sense to stack them all up, because they would be eligible for the next MK if they wanted them.

Toad Circuit is ugly. Rock Rock Mountain got the ugly rock treatment, making it so much worse to look at. and Rainbow Road's elevation got cut in half, making it no where near as fun to play.

If I were fixing the BCP I would replace these Wii tracks -Mushroom Gorge -Moonview Highway -Koopa Cape The reason I chose MG and KC is because they were already in MKW and MK7, I’d put Shy Guy Bazar in wave 2 because it’s the most requested track since the Wii U DLC, Luigi’s Mansion and Dino Dino Jungle go into wave 5 because DS was done dirty last wave and GCN needs more love (I’m ok with DS Mario Circuit because the music is so good)

If Pipeline doesn't work well, I would put (GBA) Luigi Circuit in Wave 5 instead, and put Sunset Wilds in BASE 8 instead. And for Moonview Highway, we have lots of cities in the BCP. I would replace it with Mushroom Bridge. If Mushroom Bridge doesn't work well, then I'm removing Yoshi Circuit from the Wii U DLC for a DS track (Wario Stadium or Mario Circuit), and put Yoshi Circuit to be in the BCP instead.

slight mistake. Moonview filled the blank prefix slot from Wave 6 (according to it's codename) and Daisy Circuit is likely to be replacing the GCN slot from Wave 5 (we'll see it's codename once the track is released)

[@HDRookie]

Nah, I'm aware of what the public thinks. After wave 5 when we learned it had the 6-3 slot I still called it the Mushroom Bridge replacement, because that's what it was added to the pass to be. That's why it was in Wave 5. It and Mushroom Bridge were never going to coexist. In-game ID =/= functional purpose in the pass. We aren't supposed to see the IDs. They'd only matter to begin with if they actually matched the courses final locations anyway.

I actually don’t mind this because so many people grew up with Mario Kart Wii as a child including myself so a lot of the courses create a warm nostalgic feeling so seeing these be remade in HD helps to bring back memories in a more fun fashion and also a lot of the modding community liked Mario Kart wii so it would attract that target audience too.

The best way for Nintendo to solve this is to just make a second booster pass and then that way they can bring over a bigger track percentage from a lot more games and please everyone as most of the tracks from people’s favourite Mario kart games would be there.

[@shadowcastyt]

I can't say I'm complaining, all the Wii tracks we've gotten are fire, my only real problem with the booster pass is a lot of stellar tracks throughout the series are seemingly getting snuffed by mid-filler trash, we've still got one wave left but there's still tracks like Airship Fortress, Toad Factory, Wario Coliseum, Dino Dino Jungle, Rosalinas ice world, and I'm sure you can think of others that will likely not make the cut… again one wave left so I guess we gotta wait and see what happens, also to hell with the tour tracks, with the exception of ninja hideaway, and I hardly consider that a true tour track, it's more like a nitro track that was put on tour first, they all suck compared to the potential fan favorites throughout the main series that they could've added

Wii is my childhood game and the tracks they picked are great but yeah it is slightly overrepresented. Why there are not more ds tracks I will never understand.

Like I am not actually mad because the wii tracks they picked are truly great but the obsession is a little weird and what actually annoys me are the annoying wii fans who think the world revolves around them.

[@seanbernard5270]

Now that the entirety of wave 6 has been revealed. I was originally disappointed that a Double Dash track got snubbed for another Wii course, but the more I think about it, the more Im glad, cause now the next Mario Kart game won't have as much Wii pandering as the BCP did, due to there only being five Wii courses that haven't been remade in a mainline Mario Kart (TOUR not included). Granted, three of the remaining Wii tracks are very solid tracks: Toads Factory, Bowser's Castle, and one of my personal favorite tracks of all time, Dry Dry Ruins, and the other two are Luigi and Mario Circuit, but hopefully they take the retro selection of the next game to bring more focus to other games besides MKWii.

[@JKV2500]

I’ll be honest I don’t agree. Wii as a whole has more liked tracks, so it has more tracks. I didn’t play Wii, only 8, and Gorge and Moonview are two of my favorite tracks. Most N64 tracks are middle of the road to most people, with the good ones being in the game already. Most 7 tracks are just okay to most people, with the good ones being in the game already. Wii, even with 11 tracks, still has Dry Dry Ruins, Toad’s Factory, and Bowser Castle, all being fan favorites to some degree. I think the amount of each game is good for the dlc, except DS and 3DS. Airship Fortress should’ve replace Toad Circuit.

[@HDRookie]

I'd say the the majority of my favorite N64 courses are not in MK8, but they aren't in Tour. 3DS though, there were options. I think Wario Shipyard and Shy Guy Bazaar for instance would've been very high quality remake options, but there were only 3 slots for 3DS courses here.

[@JKV2500]

@@HDRookie For me, Shy Guy Bazaar and Rosalina’s Ice World are the only 3DS track left that would fit the dlc. Shipyard just seems like a lesser Cove to me. And the WuHu track probably aren’t coming back, along with the other 8 crossover tracks. Best case scenario, they keep the layout but just change the theming. For N64, Wario Stadium and Bowser Castle are the only ones I could think of. For Wario Stadium, we already have DS Wario Stadium, and Waluigi Stadium, both being better tracks in my opinion. For Bowser Castle, we’re getting BC3, which will probably be my favorite Bowser Castle. The older Bowser Castles don’t work for 8, especially in 200cc. Some tracks back then are tighter when speed was slower, and they are much longer than 8 tracks. For GCN, I know people want Mushroom City and Wario Coliseum, but it’s solely for their gimmicks. Mushroom City has alternate paths and cars, but thats it. Car wise Moonview is better, and alternate path wise Yoshi Valley is better. I like the gimmick, but City didn’t do it the best. I think a New Donk City track doing that would be neat. Coliseum has 2 laps, but Wii and GCN Rainbow Road could do that as well. Coliseum’s layout is just average too. Waluigi Stadium is just a better track for me. That’s just my opinion though.

Super Mario Kart: It's ok, considering these are SNES tracks and usually extremely basic, i'm glad that we got as little as we did, and a Bowser's Castle being super likely is a W 64: Didn't get a lot in the BCP, but had a lot of love in the base MK8 so it's fine Super Circuit: Definition of a monkey's paw with those simplified Tour layouts. Snow Land was the only one with the layout mostly intact and even that removed the alternate routes. Double Dash: Ok selection, but ultimately nothing we haven't seen return already, got done dirty. DS: Mixed bag, We got some bangers like Shroom Ridge and Winball, but so many bangers like Luigi's Mansion, DS Bowser's Castle, and Airship were all ignored Wii: Yeah I agree it's over represented, I would swap out a track or two, but keep DK Summit that track's awesome. 7: Done dirty, has the most hated track in the BCP, and 2 decent tracks, though 3DS RR had it's awesome ending shortcut removed which is lame. Tour: Had all it's content ported over because it's the BCP is secretly a Tour port.

I mean, effectively it did, but Moonview Highway's internal file was called Cnsw_63, which matched with one of the prefixless courses, not a GCN one. This means that Daisy Circuit is most likely to have replaced Mushroom Bridge instead.

Effectively is the keyword I care about here. The file name stuff doesn't really matter imo. Logic has won out over purist datamine believing at every step recently

@@HDRookie But wouldn't it make more sense if Moonview Highway was Cnsw_56 then? That was already planned for Wave 5 anyway, like how Cnsw_63 was orignally meant to be a Wave 6 course, just like how Daisy Circuit is a Wave 6 course now. This is why I think these technicalities should've been mentioned, because if Moonview Highway was indeed intended to replace Mushroom Bridge, then this is a REALLY roundabout, and rather _illogical,_ way to do it; it could've been so much simpler... ...which is why _I_ personally think the reason why all the courses are being switched around like this in the first place is partially to mess with dataminers and predictions (since the prefix leak and the music leak really made the BCP too predictable; we know from the Wave 3 full reveal trailer that the switching was a last minute decision too, considering Maple Treeway was placed in Waluigi Stadium's original position).

Completely agree. While a lot of Wii tracks are amazing, other games need more representation. I feel like 3DS, DS and GCN got cheated. They have some excellent courses that didn’t get to see the light of day. Two back to back waves of 2 Wii tracks is ridiculous in my opinion. Especially when GCN didn’t even get 4 tracks in the whole BCP.
