A Moment of Silence to the 55 Tracks That Didn't Make The Cut...

Airship Fortress was remade in Mario Kart 7, which, surprisingly, is actually the second most recent Mario Kart game despite being more than a decade old.

[@comfy88338]

With the exception of the SNES tracks, the four main retro cups in the base game have never remade any track more than once. The DLC cups are just an added bonus. Airship Fortress was in 7's Lightning Cup, so don't expect it to come as a retro in the next game unless it gets DLC of its own.

[@goofyfish17]

I've got to give my condolences to DS Luigi's Mansion. It was such a unique track, taking inspiration from one of the best Mario spin-offs. Truly a silent gem. Also, it means that there are NO Luigi-themed tracks in MK8DX, making it and Super Mario Kart the only games to not have one. I guess the closest thing we have is the Luigi's Mansion battle course....On top of that, it also would've fit, since the wave isn't releasing *that* far away from Halloween.

[@generalcrab0009]

Sure, Luigi’s Mansion may have fit the Wave due to it releasing close to Halloween but seriously, if Mushroom Bridge, a *Flower* Cup course is too easy for Wave 6, then Luigi’s Mansion, a *MUSHROOM* Cup course is going to have *NO* chance

[@lennycrew3]

It REALLY hurts not to see the tracks that have not been remade at all prior to MK7; N64 Wario Stadium, GBA Broken Pier, GBA Lakeside Park, GCN Mushroom City, GCN Wario Colosseum, GCN Luigi Circuit, DS Figure 8 Circuit, Wii Toad's Factory, Wii Luigi Circuit, and all the Bowser's Castles and Rainbow Roads.

[@sladelucas5531]

The RMX courses too, everyone always either forgets about them or leaves them out and it's sad.

[@theonewhowrotethis5681]

Agreed 100%. If you count the separate SNES tracks (+12 to the total count to make it to 16 missing courses), the separate Bowser Castle courses in Super Circuit (+3), and the RMX courses in Tour (+10), the total missing course count ends up being 80 tracks, not 55 like the video listed. And then there's the 30 courses from the Arcade GP trilogy, the single course that VR had (though that's admittedly an amalgamation of GP DX's courses), and the 30 themes from Home Circuit (dunno if you wanna count that), then the total missing count skyrockets up to 141.

Maybe if GCN Rainbow Road was picked for Tour, it would've been added to 8 Deluxe as well. I'm content with the tracks we have gotten. Now Mario Kart 8 can finally be put to rest.

[@jellymcmichaels4240]

Same, but maybe it'll get remade if we ever get a Mario Kart 9...

[@VestedUTuber]

GCN Rainbow Road... eh... let me ask you this - do you enjoy Neo Bowser City on 200cc? Don't get me wrong, GCN Rainbow Road is an awesome course, and I'd argue it's among the best Rainbow Roads in the series. But, well... the course has some REALLY nasty turns. There's the hairpins after the second jump, which don't have guardrails on the outsides, but the big kicker is the S-curve section after the big helix, which is a series of turns with no guardrails that get increasingly tighter as you approach the pipe cannon. That section in Double Dash is very comparable to Neo Bowser City's S-curve section on 200cc.

[@jsm2p12]

​@VestedUTuber I remember I always had trouble beating GCN Rainbow Road at 150cc because of those turns.

[@generalcrab0009]

Even if it was in Tour, Nintendo still definitely would’ve chosen Wii Rainbow Road. It’s more popular, more difficult and Nintendo knows how popular Wii is compared to Double Dash. That’s why we got 2 Wii courses 2 Waves in a row. That’s why there’s a total of 8 Wii nitros in the BCP and 4 Wii retros. That’s why we got the *entire* Star Cup remade and Wii’s entire character roster in 8DX. From the very beginning, the BCP was *always* planned to end on a Wii course. If Nintendo replaced a GCN course with Daisy Circuit, then they definitely wouldn’t replace Wii Rainbow Road with GCN Rainbow Road. From the very beginning, Nintendo has had an extreme bias towards Mario Kart Wii. Heck, they even pushed all the GCN courses back a Wave, *just* so Wave 3 could have a Wii course, as well as the fact that Waluigi Stadium wasn’t ready yet. Even if GCN Rainbow Road came to Tour, it would have *NO* chance, especially with the way Nintendo treated Double Dash during the BCP.

A moment of silence for him and HQ. And Paratroopa, I guess.

[@jetswim3327]

The tracks I was bummed out that was missed were these: N64 Bowsers Castle N64 Koopa Troopa Beach N64 Frappe Snowland GCN DDJ GCN Wario Colosseum GCN Rainbow road GCN Mushroom Bridge (underated tbh) DS Airship Fortress DS Delfino Square DS Bowser Castle Wii Toads Factory As someone who started with GCN I feel that Nintendo kinda cheated the GCN community and over represented the wii fans. Wish they have more love for MKDD. (Also BADLY wanted Delfino Square)

[@dimitri4888]

And a moment of slence for: Koopa Cape Sunset Wilds DK mountain And others I don't have in mind now, that got a worse version than the originals.

[@zyxhael]

The Wuhu tracks were my absolute favorite in MK7, so it hurts a lot... but truthfully, we can't complain about the sheer quality of this DLC.

[@supermariogamer1757]

Mushroom bridge,Wario coliseum, Bowser's castle,and rainbow road those double dash tracks I wish were added

[@theonewhowrotethis5681]

Since different Rainbow Roads, Bowser Castles, and Sherbet Lands are considered separate tracks across games (as opposed to being lumped together by the same theme), you're missing more than the 55 tracks that were listed in the video. In Super Mario Kart, there are 16 SNES tracks missing, not 4 (otherwise the grouping logic used in the video means that there are only 8 tracks in SMK, which isn't true). They may share settings and music, but the course layouts are distinct enough to consider them as separate tracks (same rationale with how Mute City I and II are considered very different tracks in OG F-Zero). They are as follows: Mario Circuit (only MC3 is in 8D) 1) Mario Circuit 1 2) Mario Circuit 2 3) Mario Circuit 4 Donut Plains (only DP3 is in 8D) 4) Donut Plains 1 5) Donut Plains 2 Ghost Valley 6) Ghost Valley 1 7) Ghost Valley 2 8) Ghost Valley 3 Bowser Castle (only BC3 is in 8D) 9) Bowser Castle 1 10) Bowser Castle 2 Choco Island 11) Choco Island 1 12) Choco Island 2 Koopa Beach 13) Koopa Beach 1 14) Koopa Beach 2 Vanilla Lake 15) Vanilla Lake 1 16) Vanilla Lake 2 Four locales are missing, but 16 tracks are missing. This makes the running total of missing courses +12 on top of the originally listed 55. In a similar vein, there are four Super Circut Bowser Castle tracks missing, not one. (+15) If you want to include Arcade GP, GP2, and GPDX, then there's 12 from GP1, 4 from GP2 (GP2 re-uses GP1's assets and adds more), and 14 from GPDX. (+45 with Bandai Namco, +15 without) GP VR has a unique course, but it's an amalgamation of courses from GP DX and is unnamed, so we can exclude that. (+45 with Bamco, +15 without, +46/+16 if you do decide to include VR for some reason) Tour has the 10 RMX tracks that aren't in 8D. RMX tracks are distinct enough from their source materials, so add +10 to that. I'm not counting the R & T variants since they don't drastically change the original courses as the original courses are still the same underneath the added ramps, and the separate City tracks are included as separate laps in 8D's renditions of the City Tracks. (+55 with Bamco, +25 without, +56/+26 if VR is added) And Home Circuit has 30 themes, but they aren't tracks technically speaking. If you do count them as tracks (I don't personally), then the missing tracks from the total would be +85/+55 (+86/+56 if VR is added). As such, there are at least 80 tracks missing from 8 Deluxe, not 55 (+12 from SNES, +3 from GBA, and +10 RMX courses from Tour mean that there are 25 extra courses from the running count). At maximum (include the unnamed VR course, the Bamco games' 30 tracks, and HC's themes as tracks), there are 141 missing tracks.

[@SPEEDYCOW789]

Nintendo comes to you and realizes they are 4 tracks short of 100 tracks in Mario Kart 8. They ask you to pick the last four tracks. They can be from any Mario kart game, and there can be multiple from one game. What do you chose? Mine are: 1. Wii Dry Dry Ruins 2. Wii Toad’s Factory 3. DS Airship Fortress 4. GCN Wario Colosseum Yeah, I know that’s a lot of Wii tracks, but in my defense I woulda traded daisy circuit and moonview for those two. Also I’m sorry lakeside park, I couldn’t fit you in :(

[@theorenfrench5240]

Mine would be 1: GCN Wario’s Colosseum 2: 3DS Maka Wuhu 3: DS Bowser Castle 4: DS Rainbow Road

[@SPEEDYCOW789]

@@theorenfrench5240oh yeah, I forgot about maka wuhu, good choice

[@klop4228]

You undersell Super Circuit's Rainbow Road. Those jump ramps on the side make the whole thing pretty awkward to race on (in a fun way) while also having ridiculous shortcut potential. It's honestly one of my favourite Rainbow Roads.

[@Gamety75]

i am really sad for toad's factory, who is with me?

[@Snapturtlez]

Me, it’s generally aggravating that it didn’t make it. Honestly wii rainbow should have not been in wave 6. It should have been toads factory. There is 5 rainbow roads in mk8 rn. This generally makes me mad that they added another rainbow road but not toads factory… don’t get me wrong, I like wave 6 but Nintendo kinda screwed us on this wave.

[@kylewood4488-b9r]

Somehow boring Toad Circuit was added but Toad Factory wasn't.

Yea but wii rainbow road was better

[@LuigiGamers0427]

I’m sad for Nintendo didn’t add the Rainbow road of GC to 8… I like the ost so much

[@batmanbud2]

I think theyre saving airship fortress to be remade with a smbw-style green-and-black aesthetic for the next game

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

Yeah airship fortress not getting added in the booster course pass probably means it’s being saved since Nintendo definitely knows how popular it is

[@harrybest2041]

Airship Fortress was remade in Mario Kart 7.

[@acegarr22]

It's not coming back to the next game. As DLC sure but not in the base game.

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

@@harrybest2041 the rule of a track that was already re-added unable to be re-added again in the base game will likely be broken in MK9 due to there being only one MK64 track left that hasn’t been remade… and I seriously doubt they would add only one MK64 track as a retro in base game… we could be seeing a few tracks that have already been remade show up in the base game…

[@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8]

They should just give us one last wave of DLC, a rainbow cup, and give us 100 tracks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ClaytonFromMidgar]

"What they should do is Remove Peachette and all the Tour Tracks"

[@The_InfiniVerse]

Many of the tracks that didn't make it to Mario Kart 8, like Mushroom Bridge, are in Tour. So this vid could have mentioned that little piece of detail.

[@triciaclark3185]

Though there are some tracks we really did want, like dino dino jungle, Airship Fortress, and toads factory, But.. WE GOT DKKKK MOUNTAIN LEZZZZ GOOOOOOOOO

[@RobMost]

And all of these are coming back as DLC in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe extra special, coming out for Switch 2 next year!

[@DanielZ-nv2zg]

They better be retros for the next game!

[@MetxsightseerRailfan]

Hope so.

[@IkeReviews]

They have since the ds game so it's really a given

[@Pau31076]

The ones deserving it the most are the ones that have never been remade like 64 wario stadium and wario colosseum, gcn rr. Also the ones like dry dry ruins which have been only remade in tour.

[@chucke.cheese2212]

A lot of the tracks being talked about were already retros in DS, Wii and 7. We’re good…

[@callumloader8713]

Luigi’s mansion needed to be in the booster course pass. Honestly my most wanted course thoughout the pass.

[@YALLAHELLA-pk1gh]

I’m also sad that airship fortress didn’t make it kinda sad I wanna see how they remix the music and it’s a really fun track but whatever I like that they added a retro Bowser’s castle finally 🎉

[@yuvansgameworld661]

I was sad for Airship Fortress but Toad’s Factory’s loss broke my heart it’s a fan favorite what are you doing Nintendo Put this course in MK9 I need to get my entertainment fix in Mario Kart again

[@nicoheroesdx]

I personally think that the booster pass really turned out to be something great, it started with a big controversy about the graphics but they clearly improved on that aspect - seen in the Rainbow Road tracks. I know a big part of the initial Purpose of the DLC was to preserve some of the Tour tracks - It's great that tracks like Ninja Hideaway won't be forgotten when Tour will end eventually. The only issue there is the fact that there are some many city tracks... but at least the soundtrack is absolutely amazing on most of the tracks! I love that the Booster Pass expanded the Mario Kart 8 Soundtrack - One of the best video game OSTs of all time! My only issue is that they should have given us more variety in the locations. Daisy Circuit and Moonview Highway are great tracks - But cities are overused in the DLC, therefore I would have loved to see Dry Dry Ruins and Toads Factory instead. Tracks like Airship Fortress will forever be missed but, I think having all these amazing tracks in MK8 would make it impossible for MK9 to compete, so I'm fine for them to return in the future. It's incredible how long MK8 did last! I thank you Nintendo for preserving the relevance on this game for so long. May Mario Kart 9 be a worthy successor!

[@theorangesteak]

Dino Dino Jungle was my most wanted track, but DK Mountain was a close second so I'm glad we got at least one of em!

[@RealSkyDiver2]

At least with the Steam Deck I can dock it to the TV and pretend we did get them as “special authentic” tracks lol

[@SpoopyKrown]

The city tracks are okay, but let's be honest. Screw them. I would've preferred more of the old tracks.

[@mrclean7473]

i wish more people would admit it but yea, especially since if 1 tour nitro got cut, they could honestly cut a few more

[@WritingCountingOriginal]

Cope

[@adamrathosky1441]

I would’ve modified some of the tracks so they can act as Easter eggs for tracks that didn’t make it. For example, very rarely, the Paper Mario castles will spawn in the background of a rainbow road stage

[@BadHandleIG]

Atleast we got rainbow road Wii

[@KirbyKing25]

Lots of fan favorite tracks didn’t make the cut into the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass.

I’m grateful some of my favorites made the cut but I’m still so peeved that some of my old favorites didn’t like wuhu island and toads factory. They’re great tracks and the memories they have for me and others. I’d be cool if they did a Mario kart game with ALL the tracks ever created
