Mario Kart 8 Deluxe now feels like Smash Ultimate, I genuinely don’t know where they could even take the series after this. We’ve hit a point where it feels pretty perfect and moving on will be hard af

[@sylvy16]

i think so too. atleast gir a few years u think they should add more dlc and maybe making it more a collection of all mario kart items, tracks, characters and modes like double dash

[@elleshugon6807]

maybe they'll do what they did with the 2d mario series give it a fresh rehash with new artstyle, gameplay and mechanics

[@LeSlayREAL]

A reboot perhaps?

[@SuperheroFan337]

Easy every single track and every single character brought back.

[@ryko1478]

​@@SuperheroFan337that's kinda sorta MK8

[@Magic_Ice]

I really hope they add Piranha Plant Pipeline from Tour as it was the only tour track not to get into the booster course pass.

[@geminisfl]

That should be the one to be brought back, not Athens Dash

[@Eucalyptus_Sage]

was looking for this comment. It's the only tour track to not be brought to mk8 so if they do bring tour tracks in the next mk, this one should definitely make it!!

[@ZACKMAN2007]

Only if they bring back halfpipes

[@turtleanton6539]

Yes

[@Kello_QQ]

@@geminisfl tf did Athens do to you it’s one of the best courses in the game

[@supermannygamer2003]

Now will scott finally escape the paradoxical black void by talking about the booster course pass on the main channel, or will he buy new shoes

[@DatHypnoboi]

Definitely the shoes

[@BubblesZap]

Probably thebshoes since he talked extensively about the Booster Course Pack during Switch Years In vid

[@SchmergDergen]

Booster Course was half assed, not really worth talking about.

thank you

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

I doubt any 8 or tour track are gonna come back beside piranha plant pipeline if the console is backward compatible. 7 have DS track and 8 have Wii tracks because they can bring improvements to them. 9 can’t really improve on 8’s track and the booster course pass would still be in 9. I think they are gonna have 48 tracks to start and 24 of them are retro. Without 8 or tour we can also have more older track.

[@Logos729]

​@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4 the next switch is no doubt going to be a massive graphical step-up, why not bring back mk8 tracks and make them even prettier?

[@jockson7574]

8 deluxe tracks: 😢

[@bluejay21.]

​@@jockson7574You refuse to acknowledge that all of those tracks were made for Tour?

[@MuffinKirby27]

We will probably see the next Mario kart game in the Mario wonder style since they usually follow the mainline games. Maybe make use of wonder flowers to change up the course obstacles. Like for example lap three on a course you hit the flower and the pipes on the side start moving around blocking areas. Stuff like that

[@TrainWreckYT]

Lakeside park would go crazy with the volcano being a wonder effect

[@ianswift3521]

hmmm, like the Bowser attack in Bowser's Fury maybe? @@TrainWreckYT

[@Repostedinthewrongneighborhood]

Sort of. The first 3 mario kart games were off and on for how they followed their mainline counterparts, being: Super Mario Kart - Super Mario World (2D) Mario Kart 64 - Super Mario 64 (3D) Mario Kart Super Circuit - Super Mario Land (2D) By Mario Kart double dash, the Mario Kart games always followed the 3D Mario kart games, with: Mario Kart Double Dash!! - Super Mario Sunshine Mario Kart DS - Not too sure about this one. Mario 64 DS or new super Mario bros ds? Mario Kart Wii - Super Mario Galaxy Mario Kart 7 - Super Mario 3D Land Mario Kart 8 - Super Mario 3D World Sadly super Mario odyssey never got this treatment. Maybe the next Mario kart will incorporate elements from both Odyssey and wonder. But the weird thing is they usually release a new 3D Mario game before a new Mario kart game. Most likely the next generation switch will launch with a 3D Mario.

[@Cybercymbre]

Prediction: the next Mario Kart will be called X, not 9

[@freeuploads4290]

Ah, classic Nintendo. Always making absolutely no sense.

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

Wouldn't that be for the 10th game (not counting tour)

[@freeuploads4290]

​@@Bryce_the_Woomy_BoiTrue, but that wouldn't be Nintendo.

[@JimoftheBMXClan]

Sound prediction, though this is Nintendo we’re talking about, not Sony.

[@stephenwillis2751]

NEW Mario Kart U

[@corey6536]

I think that we'll probably get 48 tracks total. It gives us a decent enough amount to not come off as a downgrade from Mario Kart 8 and 24 nitros seems like a fair amount of new tracks from a developer standpoint. For retros I'd love to see something like this: *Banana Cup* N64 Mario Raceway SNES Choco Island 1 DS Luigi's Mansion Tour Pirahna Plant Slide *Shell Cup* GCN Peach Beach Wii Toad's Factory DS Delfino Square 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar *Leaf Cup* GCN Mushroom Bridge GBA Lakeside Park Wii U Super Bell Subway Tour Ninja Hideaway *Lightning Cup* N64 Royal Raceway GCN Dino Dino Jungle GBA Sunset Wilds Wii U Mount Wario *Bullet Cup* GCN Sherbert Land N64 DK's Jungle Parkway Tour Squeaky Clean Sprint Wii Dry Dry Ruins *Spiny Cup* 3DS Wario's Shipyard DS Airship Fortress Wii Bowser's Castle GCN Rainbow Road

[@Snsy]

If they're gonna include Tour tracks in the next game, they HAVE to bring back Piranha Plant Pipeline. It's the only Tour track that wasn't in the Booster Course Pass.

[@JohnnnyJohn]

This was the most wholesomely nerdy thing I have watched in a long time.

[@williamgeorge1120]

The tour ‘nitro course’ in the next mainline game will be Piranha Plant Pipeline, I’ll bet on that now! Yet to be on a console so makes the most sense!

[@polygundrd7509]

As a big double dash fan, I’m really hoping for wario colosseum, but I also really want mushroom city. I think it’s a super underrated track.

[@holzmann-]

The Bowser's Castle great also. Kinda cool they still haven't remade the game's best four tracks

[@benamisai-kham5892]

All of those mentioned but also GameCube rainbow road is my goat pick, would love it.

[@Siivajenna]

Hoping for Airship Fortress, Rainbow Road Ds and Bowsers Castle Ds

[@bobonnor]

Someone likes ds

[@spiritshadow8084]

I was kinda mad that they picked bowsers castle Wii over the DS one.

[@tippedjoshua6802]

@@spiritshadow8084is it much better? I don’t remember bowsers castle ds and I’ve only played bowsers castle wii like once

[@De_an]

There is a very real chance that the only DS retro they bring back is DS Figure-8 Circuit. All retro picks (excluding DLC) for the Mario Kart games include tracks that haven't been remade before, and DS only has three nitros left that fits that category: Figure-8 Circuit, Bowser Castle, and Rainbow Road. While DS Bowser Castle and Rainbow Road might get in the way if they plan on bringing back another game's Bowser Castle or Rainbow Road, they don't seem to mind when it comes to bringing back multiple circuit tracks in one game, and DS Figure-8 Circuit perfectly fills the niche of a simple Shell Cup track.

[@spiritshadow8084]

@tippedjoshua6802 I think it was great but that might just be nostalgia talking.

[@ulischmidt03]

I feel the only way they can top 8 Deluxe is to add more modes, like a Double Dash mode, because in terms of track count they set the standard very high

[@pixel3042]

also more customization and battle mode

[@elistewart3170]

Most of the Booster tracks are mediocre or average, quality over quantity. I'll take a Lost Woods or Mount Wario over anything in the BP

[@thefountaincafe]

two mode ideas: -wonder mode -knockout mode (24 players)

[@_puduposting]

as a silly fact about tour, The Yoshi Island track and Bathroom one were leaked for tour months before they got announced for the booster course pass, and don't forget there's 1 tour track left in the game they never put in 8

[@SharkRacer5]

You mean piranha plant pipeline?

[@_puduposting]

@@SharkRacer5 yup

[@totalradlad]

I think this was recorded a while back, so they probably didn't know that Piranha Plant Pipeline wasn't going to be in the BCP

[@SharkRacer5]

@@totalradlad sounds legit

[@quangamershyguyyz7166]

The fact they didn’t put Dino Dino Jungle or Mushroom City in the Double Dash section and Yoshi Desert, Cheep Cheep Island, and Luigi Circuit in the Super Circuit section and cut Vanilla Lake and New York Minute is criminal.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

Prediction: Mario Kart 9 will have a gimmick like Double Dash did that changes the gameplay a lot. Mario Kart 8 pretty much perfected the standard kart play and there really isn’t a way to go up from it without it just being MK8 again

[@TrentKS]

Maybe the drill idea that got scrapped for Mario Kart 8.

[@MDE128]

I hope it brings back the double dash gimmick.

[@Pau31076]

Would love to see cup fusions, for example shell cup last track is wii toad factory and lighting cup us GBA rainbow road the last track of the special mushroom cup would be rainbow factory

[@PilotViking]

​@@MDE128yeah, its awesome

[@kristiano100]

They should have airplane karts like in Diddy Kong racing, karts on the surface of the water like a boat and a submarine version where you move through the water and not on the floor

[@touch_me.]

37:30 a cool track they could add is a “Luigi’s Casino” track where you go from game to game, as the games would act as tracks, with the games being: “Mushroom Roulette”, “Picture Poker”, “Mario Slots”, among other games the track would probably be similar to Mount Wario, in that it would be a one-way, linear, track… it would be a cool callback to Mario 64’s “Luigi’s Casino”

[@TheSuperCanucks]

I believe that they should add the driving chapters from the Half-Life games into Mario Kart 9 and also add Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance and a Vortigaunt to Mario Kart 9

[@popstarrowlet]

goron Freeman is th cart

[@connorburton1009]

Now, I know this is a joke, but I think what you want is a Garry's Mod kart racer.

[@cadendicky1855]

Half Life(the game) isn't even on a Nintendo console yet. I do think there's a chance of that happening on the next Nintendo console though.

[@FletcherReedsRandomness]

My best friend and I had a conversation a few days ago about if there were enough fan favorite tracks left to fill out at least a base 16 retro tracks for the next Mario Kart. After counting them all out, we concluded that there were still plenty of beloved tracks from all the games that were prime for remake material (not including base Mario Kart 8 tracks, which goes without saying imo). Here’s all the big fan favorite tracks we counted: N64 Koopa Troopa Beach N64 Wario Stadium N64 Bowser’s Castle N64 DK’s Jungle Parkway N64 Banshee Boardwalk GBA Yoshi Desert GBA Lakeside Park GBA Broken Pier GBA Bowser Castle 4 GBA Rainbow Road GCN Mushroom Bridge GCN Mushroom City GCN Wario Colosseum GCN Dino Dino Jungle GCN Bowser’s Castle GCN Rainbow Road DS Luigi’s Mansion DS Delfino Square DS Airship Fortress DS Rainbow Road Wii Toad’s Factory Wii Dry Dry Ruins Wii Bowser’s Castle 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar 3DS Wuhu Loop 3DS Wario Shipyard 3DS Maka Wuhu Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline So yes, there are still tons of potential choices for us to get excited for in the next game

Would like to mentioned you accidentally used the wrong toad track for wii

[@FletcherReedsRandomness]

@@Jack-H.Fixed

[@ułttimate]

needs at least one snow course

[@RudeRabit]

I’m guessing neither of them have seen or heard of Bowser Castle 4’s inclusion in Mario Kart Tour. I think BC4 is a great candidate for the next Mario Kart because its Tour rendition got a massive glow up from the original. It’s massive, there’s elevation, unique theming, the slope of steelies rolling towards you, gliding sections, the split path near the end. It’s amazing and almost seems like it was made for the Booster Course Pass.

[@WDonaldson2000]

Piranha Plant Pipeline is the one Tour track that should come back. It’s the only one that didn’t make it to 8 Deluxe, it doesn’t deserve to be lost media.

[@karlkewbz]

A very interesting idea I've had in the past is turning Waluigi Pinball into a Battle Stage, and adding stuff like even more obstacles including holes in the ground!

[@Yafffo]

always a treat when these two come together

[@unbeatenlake790]

Maybe they will add double dash style as an option and characters will have their own special items.

[@JimoftheBMXClan]

In our dreams.

[@astr0sauce]

[@LinnyUwU]

theyll have special items but no double dash

Love Bandy and Scott collabs ❤

[@joec7217]

Pipeline is almost certainly making it in. That's the only Tour track not in 8 Deluxe. They're not gonna let it die with Tour

[@corganreeves4297]

Lakeside Park and GBA Bowser Castle 4 got huge overhauled remakes in Tour and no one remembers. They should bring those back. They were good remakes

[@Bimbo_MN]

Honestly I think they would add 32 retro, so I think your list at the 32 retro tracks is good honestly. Some fantastic picks!

[@videogameobsession]

I hope they give us something really special with the Next Mario Kart. Something us old guys will be surprised by. How about a "Black Box Circuit" with new tracks based on different classics. I want to race on GUMSHOE ROAD! :)

[@brunolike8631]

Why the hell is no one talking about Piranha Plant Pipeline?? That track got scrapped for the bcp, and yet people don't even think it would come for mk9/mkX?

[@Qorvid20]

One track I always thought would be neat: a one lap track featuring all 17 floors from Luigi Mansion 3. Odyssey could also have some tracks based off of it, same with Wonder. Woulda been funny if Wonder's Bulrushes had been in Madrid from Tour for a running of the Bulrushes.

[@VancouverVelocityFan]

There’s no way we aren’t getting Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline

[@Nerdtendo6366]

I hope Mario Kart 9 has Donkey Kong in it

[@MegAmi24]

I'm holding out hope for Toad

[@vincentbranciforte9832]

I hope Mario Kart 9 has Mario in it

[@googlenumber832]

20:45 Funnily enough, data for Tour Nitros that appeared in the BCP first existed in Tour long before their BCP debut. So they might have actually been holding off once the focus shifted from Tour to the BCP. (ex: mob_br for Squeaky Clean Sprint, mob_yi for Yoshi's Island, etc.)

[@BK2410]

Yes.

[@mikkelthepikkel8241]

I think the base game of mk9 won't have 2nd time retros and only have 1st times since its too hard to include that many bangers in the base game and then do the dlc will be an additional 32 tracks with a whole bunch of fan favorites. Also I have a feeling if tour gets tracks they would be in the dlc and not base game since the city tracks would be oversaturation in a 16 track lineup (which I believe they will do)

[@wmb125]

i love these hour long nathaniel bandy mario conversations

[@Bonezee]

I hope Mario Kart 9 adds more shenanigans to the game. Like, in addition to 200cc, I want many other wild track modifiers that can be turned on. Things like mirrored tracks or racing through tracks backwards would be cool, especially if such modifiers could all be toggled at once. (Double-dash 200cc backwards mirrored completely-random-items anyone?)

[@swagtoast1486]

I just wish they make a giant one lap track we're you travel through different Mario games, like you drive through Delfini plaza, then your at the commit observatory

[@Blazio]

3D All-Stars Raceway: Lap 1 is Peach's castle from 64, lap 2 is definino plaza, lab 3 is the comet observatory

[@blocks4857]

Nah. Mario Kart is better when it expands upon the Mario universe

[@Froge0]

Bros didn't mention Piranha Plant Pipeline for Tour despite being the only Tour track to never be remade 💀

[@nikkimvee4710]

If the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, honestly no tracks should overlap between the two games except a small handful of 8's nitro courses. I'd like 48 total courses, 24 new, 24 retro, which is the same amount of courses that 8 Deluxe launched with (32+DLC). I'd love to see them try for 100% new courses, but I know that's a dream. My retro courses: SNES - Vanilla Lake 1 - Koopa Beach 2 N64 - Mario Circuit - Banshee Boardwalk - Wario Stadium Super Circuit - Lakeside Park - Yoshi Desert - Rainbow Road Double Dash - Wario Colosseum - Mushroom City - Rainbow Road DS - Luigi's Mansion - Airship Fortress - Delfino Square Wii - Toad's Factory - Bowser's Castle 7 - Daisy Hills - Shy Guy Bazaar - Wuhu Loop - Wario's Shipyard 8 - Shy Guy Falls - Mount Wario Tour - Singapore Speedway - Madrid Drive

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

Never noticed how many tracks wario has in 8. They brought back his DS Stadium and Goldmine, they have his mountain, but also Water Park and Ninja Hideaway that aren't even named, though still clearly themed after him. There's probably another one I forgot.

[@SeanA099]

I would probably want Rainbow Road DS. But I think one of the Wuhu tracks from 7 is an amazing idea

[@Jje261YT]

Fuck yeah

[@PowerPandaMods]

For SNES and GBA courses, what if you mashed 2 courses together? So you do a full lap on Vanilla Lake, and when you cross the finish line you switch over to Choco Island for a lap. When you've completed both, that counts as a single lap. Maybe both courses are on opposite sides of a plane, and the world flips as you cross the finish line. Or maybe you're on a mobius strip track that keeps flipping between the two. Kind of like the Mario Galaxy fire and ice world.

[@bugamoose6]

I really hope we get Mushroom City instead of Mushroom Bridge. Its much more interesting in my opinion, and it hasnt ever been brought back

[@stevengc125]

All I know is next Mario Kart better have Mount Wario.

[@jamielol5037]

I wonder if adding more tracks from other Nintendo series would be a good idea. Like adding a team rocket hideout track, or a battleship halberd track for example.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

They seem to mostly save that for DLC.

[@deef6320]

[@topherpetrole1136]

We literally just got DK Mountain in the Booster Course Pass. I'd choose and predict one that has yet to be remade, like Mushroom City.

Mushroom City was chaos.

[@myriadmediamusings]

I remember ye olde MK9 wishlist vid and how some of those track predictions came true in MK8 BCP. As for what could be back in MK9, probably whats at the top of my list is GBA, GCN and DS Rainbow Road. By this point theyre the only ones not remade in one way or another.

If they only do 16, I think it'll be all brand new retro tracks again. Then maybe you get some of the Airship Fortress and Luigi's Mansions in the DLC, popular 2nd time retros that missed out on 8.

[@5742_]

I feel like the earlier on in the series you go, the less and less high-quality courses there are to pick from, and it would overall make for an underwhelming base retro selection if what you’re saying turns out to be true.

[@greedolegofan2001]

@@5742_nah because there are so many MK8 and Tour tracks to pick from. I also think that MK9 will have 48 tracks (24 nitros and 24 retros)

Scott saying Wild Woods is "okay" makes me question any time I have ever agreed with him on anything in the past.

[@stephmazzone]

The fact that tracks have been brought back multiple times over generations, i do agree with scott and nathaniel. Anything goes!

[@logansmith2703]

I think it's important to note that the only times a track has been remade more than once are SNES (due to Super Circuit), and with DLC. Edit also the Rainbow Road is always the next in line. So unless they change that we're destined for GBA Rainbow Road

[@Snakles08]

I want nine to be all nitro courses, 48 in total. Then you could spend $10-$15 for a game-pack that will have every nitro course from an old mariokart. It only works if they are fully remastered to look like the base game and released annually. These packs could also come with characters from that game missing in the base game (1 or 2).

[@zachstofko]

Dude that’s crazy. 48 brand new courses?!? Lmao. I Like the idea though!

[@Snakles08]

@@zachstofko They would have to do something to one up eight deluxe. I think they’ve had enough time that they can fit all those new courses in (especially if they aren’t doing retros). I think if we are also forced to pay a “premium” for extra retro courses that means Nintendo can go all out for them. Just a thought though, I would even be satisfied with just an enhanced port or remake of eight deluxe with the booster courses upgraded and 1-2 new cups.

[@polrealfake]

I swear, if GCN Mushroom City, Wario Colosseum, and GBA Rainbow Road aren't added, I'll quit the series.

[@galaksen1699]

I would choose Ninja Hideaway over Athens Dash for a tour pick. Its my favorite mario kart track of all time so I am very biased, but it also feels the most in place compared to a city track and some of the other wackier tour nitros. Out of all of them I think Ninja Hideaway screams "Make me a retro track" the loudest, plus there's a lot of room to stick in a new gimmick or two. Athens is a great track but it's really weird as the only non mario universe pick in the lineup

How about Piranha Plant Pipeline from tour since it was the only one not to be in the Booster Pass

[@yigitmd2022]

I think that the original Booster Course Pass Tracks (Yoshis Island, Merry Mountain, etc) are gonna have the „Switch“ Emblem and the MK8 + DLC Tracks will have the „WiiU“ Emblem. And if the City Tracks come back, it will have the „Tour“ Emblem

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Merry Mountain was in Tour; It was specifically for Christmas events.

[@Skeloperch]

Mario Kart Tour IS Mario Kart 9. The next Mario Kart will be Mario Kart 10, which could be stylized as Mario Kart X. Then they could do cute little videos where they introduce Mario Kart X and then put another game at the end. They could have 3x Nitro, 3x Retro, and 3x Crossover cups for a total of 9 base game cups, which is 1 more than the standard 8. You could have your standard Mario Kart courses, and then you could have Nintendo Cups where you do a 3 tier track through Norfair, a race around Planet Popstar, laps around the Bionis, and then finish it all off with a terrifying trek through the Submerged Castle.

[@yellowpowr8455]

You know, there are still enough courses currently not remade such that a set of 16 can be made out of them, without more than one Mario Circuit, Bowser Castle, or Rainbow Road no less. [SNES course 1] (There are a number to choose from still if Super Circuit doesn't count] [SNES course 2] N64 Wario Stadium GBA Broken Pier GBA Rainbow Road GCN Mushroom City DS Figure-8 Circuit (I know, but at this point any course can get an overhaul and turn out really cool.)

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

With retro tracks going up to Mario Kart 8, these are 4 from each game I'd pick. But for the sake of not making it too repetitive, I've left out all the retro track from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the Booster Pass. So with that said, this is what I've chosen: SMK: Donut Plains 2, Choco Island 2, Ghost Valley 3, Mario Circuit 4 MK64: Koopa Troopa Beach, Frappe Snowland, Wario Stadium, DK Jungle Parkway MKSC: Cheep Cheep Island, Yoshi Desert, Lakeside Park, Rainbow Road MKDD: Luigi Circuit, Mushroom City, Dino Dino Jungle, Wario Colosseum MKDS: Delfino Square, DK Pass, Airship Fortress, Bowser Castle MKWII: Toad's Factory, Dry Dry Desert, Bowser Castle (I couldn't find a good fourth one for this) MK7: Daisy Hills, Shy Guy Bazaar, Wario Shipyard, Maka Wuhu MK8: Sweet Sweet Canyon, Sunshine Airport, Electrodrome, Mount Wario MK8DX: Excitebike Arena, Dragon Driftway, Super Bell Subway, Big Blue Yeah, I know it's cheating having the DLC for Mario Kart 8 as it's own category, but there's just too many good ones to leave out in that game.

[@trentbrown2391]

I think Nintendo should take some of the track ideas from Knex Trackmaster. His customer track ideas were amazing! Megaleg Moon Searchlight Castle Bouldergeist Ravine Such clever and awesome ideas!!!

[@DjoingDalton]

I think Mario kart needs to reinvent itself for the next game. MK8 perfected the established formula.

[@ade1174]

I think that Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu are practically guaranteed to return, especially since they weren't in Tour. GBA will be the Rainbow Road that returns, and I think either Double Dash's or DS's Bowser's Castle will return. Since it's the one Tour track that didn't make the cut in 8 Deluxe, I think Piranha Plant Pipeline will return. Toad's Factory will finally be remade. Wario Stadium will complete the N64 remakes. I think that Sunshine Airport, Mount Wario, and Cloudtop Cruise are prime 8 tracks to be remade first because they're so popular. I don't think double dip remakes will be in the base game, but we'll some in the inevitable DLC like Frappe Snowland, N64 Bowser's Castle, Luigi's Mansion, Delfino Square, Airship Fortress, and DK Jungle.

Picture this: Mario Kart Ultimate. Everyone is here.

How original

Sunshine airport is a must. My fav from 8

Finally, early gang! Saw Nathaniel Bandy and Mario Kart 9 Retro Tracks and immediately clicked!

[@MisterBrodo]

I feel like Nintendo has backed themselves into a corner here. If they make a new MK game, and it just has 32 tracks like normal, it's kinda like "Pshhhh why would I buy this, the MK I have now has 96 tracks!"

[@darknexxenby]

i have a strong opinion about super circuit rainbow road, and its that it has a LOT of potential. in terms of super circuit tracks, it was definitely one of the more complex and interesting ones, especially with its alt path near the end with the boost panels. and seeing what mk8 did with the other super circuit tracks, i think they could do an amazing remake of it. plus, the paper mario bowsers castle in the background would be amazing to see in hd

How was Piranha Plant Pipeline the one nitro track from tour that didn't make it into into 8 not mentioned.

[@NunnyNugget]

42:39 the way he says "I dunno" loool

[@veryblocky]

Pretty happy with your final list, though I would add back in Wario Shipyard and cut DK Mountain

[@ZainePittman]

Mario Kart 9/10 needs to see Piranha Plant Pipeline. They kept it from the Booster Course Pass. Also, Toad Factory and Dry Dry Ruins from Wii. I actually want to see the rest of the Wii Nitros, so adding Wii Bowser Castle as well.

[@smashingstargamer]

A Tour track that I kinda hope returns is Piranha Plant Pipewline as that track is trapped in Tour

[@freebs8918]

Scott is clearly taking note of the 10-1 start for Toledo

[@JonezzHombre1]

For some reason i was thinking that GBA Luigi Circuit's unique thing was that the track was flooded because of the rain. That would give us an underwater section that would give a turn.

[@whoandgo]

I hope Super Circuit's Rainbow Road gets remastered someday

I feel like retros might get a bit of a overhaul next game, with "sequel" tracks akin to how Tour handled GBA Bowser Castle 4, but each of these sequel tracks take place at the beginning and end of a cup. I'll call them "RMX" tracks, since it's basically the Tour RMX's dialed up to 11. Each entry gets at least 1 RMX track. My personal Retro predictions: Shell Cup: RMX SNES Koopa Beach 2 (A tropical island raised into the air, I especially think they could do some cool things with the odd startling line design) Wii Luigi Circuit Wii U Toad Harbor RMX Tour Tokyo Drift (If they do course overhauls, this track deserves it the most from the Tour lineup) Bananna Cup: RMX DS Figure Eight Circuit (I mean... if they could make the bridge a helix loop...) GBA Lakeside Park 3DS Wuhu Loop RMX GCN Mushroom City (Frankly I have no idea how they can really redo this, but... yeah.) WARIO Cup: RMX N64 Wario Stadium (Let's be real, this one needs a overhaul if it comes back.) GCN Wario Colosseum WiiU Mount Wario (You guys see the theme here yet?) RMX 3DS Wario Shipyard. (They could do some really fun anti-grav stuff with the theme) Leaf Cup: RMX Wii Toad's Factory (Spooky Shut Down Factory after several Health and Safety violations) Tour New York Minute SNES Mario Circuit 4 RMX N64 Banshee Boardwalk (As Nathaniel said, this one has lots of potential.) Lightning Cup: RMX Wii U Cloudtop Cruise (Cool theme, layout itself could use some tweaks. Would be cool to jump between planets throughout rather than stay on a cloud for 99% of the track) Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline. DS Bowser's Castle (Giant Bowser statue added.) RMX GBA Rainbow Road (They better not butcher this stage) Some courses I wanted to include, but couldn't: SNES: Vanilla Lake(s), Choco Island(s) GBA: Sunset Wilds, Sky Garden, Broken Pier, Bowsers Castle 4, and Luigi Circuit. GCN: Rainbow Road, Bowser's Castle Wii: Dry Dry Ruins. That's it. Literally every other Wii Course would have been remade except this one. DS: Airship Fortress, Delfino Plaza. 3DS: Maku Wuhu. Tour: Every non-city Nitro... and Singapore Speedway.
