Ranking All 70 Tracks NOT In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[@SwitchStop]

Hope you guys enjoy! This ranking starts off with a lot of SNES/GBA tracks, but let us know your personal rankings for the tracks you've played!

[@littlefangs6669]

I think you should of based most tracks on their tour design since the booster course pass just uses most models and stage layouts from tour

[@ScratchyMGRealname-ch1bg]

I did not enjoy the list

[@gideonlosee]

Ye ever heard of a RMX track?

[@sverresgamingchannel7450]

You might have a slight skill issue in the other games than mk8d. Doesn't matter though I really needed a reminder of the missed opportunities from the booster course.

22:18 ahhh yes the netherlands, known for their windmills, cute village towns and.... MOUNTAINS? bro have you even seen a map of that place, its literally the flattest country in europe.

Fun fact about Toad's Factory: There was a glitch in Wii's code that caused the music to start 7 seconds later than where it was supposed to. This makes it the only Wii nitro where Lap 3's music starts at the same place as Lap 1's

[@GreatUsernameWowie]

Also, when you leave the factory, the music resets for some reason

The reason Desert Hills had pipes and stuff was because it was based on the desert levels of SMB3.

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

It’s even worse when it was actually datamined to be in the original MK8 DLC back in 2014-2015. It was either replaced by Cheese Land or Neo Bowser City iirc. And then we got Rosalina’s Ice World in Wave 6 of the BCP when we thought there wouldn’t be another 3DS track so we also got juked there 💀

Did you really say there aren't any good SMK remakes? Sorry, but the remake for Bowser Castle 3 was amazing and if they remade any of the other SMK tracks like that they'd all be amazing. Now, if they remade them like Mario Circuit 3, then they'd mostly be forgettable.

Great list! Good work! Piranha Plant Pipeline was created to celebrate the 100th tour in MarioKart Tour. It was inspired by dokan_course, a track that was supposed to be included in MarioKart DS but was cut. I think its exclusion from MarioKart 8 may have been due to an unfortunate branding choice. Piranha Plant Cove was originally called “Ocean Ruins”, which would’ve made much more sense, because even though Piranha Plants do feature in Cove, they don’t describe the underwater theme as well. Cove was out for 7 months before it made its way into MarioKart 8, but the Nintendo team waited to include it until the last wave of the Booster Course Pass. It would have been strange to include two MarioKart Tour tracks called “Piranha Plant” in the same wave, so unfortunately Pipeline was cut. (It also has a similar name to “Piranha Plant Pipeway”, which is what the UK version of MarioKart calls “Piranha Plant Slide”, adding to the confusion.) Pipeline is an exciting track and very fun to play, but it never showed up in any other tours. Now that MarioKart Tour is in Loop Mode, it’s the only Tour course that has never been remade and thus is only playable for two weeks out of the whole year!

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

Why dose everyone hate on the long tracks, I think there great, and the koopa beach theme reminds me of *Godzilla guy out* also n64 rainbow road did it, so that proves you can do that and make a good track

[@techformsmaster930]

Honestly, Wario Stadium from 64 has a lot that could be done for it in a remake. Obviously being able to trick off the bumps and jumps, but it also has a lot of turns that would make good half pipes, the dips in the track could be flooded, the big jump could be a glider ramp, and if it still feels necessary it could work as a 2 lap track like Warios colloseum.

[@joshdavenport6290]

Missed opportunity to shout out GBA BC4s tour remake which might be the best tour remake that never got to be brought to MK8 Deluxe

[@flybacker10]

27:27 that pains me… WHY IS IT OVER THERE? It’s meant to be in the area between the lighthouse and the city!

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

Since the Booster Course Pass only took tracks made or remade from Mario Kart Tour, these are all the tracks that had a chance of being in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass but didn’t get selected to be in the DLC: SNES: Ghost Valley 1&2 Choco Island 1&2 Vanilla Lake 1&2 Koopa Beach 2 N64: Luigi Raceway Koopa Troopa Beach Frappe Snowland Mario Raceway GBA: Peach Circuit Bowser Castle 1/2/3/4 Luigi Circuit Cheep Cheep Island Yoshi Desert Lakeside Park GCN: Mushroom Bridge Dino Dino Jungle DS: Luigi’s Mansion DK Pass Airship Fortress Wii: Dry Dry Ruins 3DS: Daisy Circuit Cheep Cheep Lagoon Shy Guy Bazaar Mario Circuit Wario Shipyard Bowser’s Castle Tour: Piranha Plant Pipeline

[@LaySuperMarioLover]

Donut Plains 1 - ''I'm glad they remade the second one''? Eh... DP1 was in MKDS, and DP2 is actually the one that never got a remake. I'll cut you some slack, because I know how hard it is to make a ranking video of almost 100 Mario Kart tracks. A couple little errors is no big deal. Nice video!

[@YoshiAteTooManyYoshiCookies]

So it's also no big deal that he said that DP1 is so much worse than 2 even though 2 is significantly lower in the list?

[@Typi]

GBA BC4 was one of the few Tour Remakes that was a proper Glow Up, sad it didn't make it into the BCP but it definately deserves to return in the next game!

[@Itspillowpillartikkamasala]

[@Sammykyt]

Top 12 courses not in 8 Deluxe I hope return immediately in the next Mario Kart game: 12. Wii Luigi Circuit- If we have to bring back a starter course for the Shell Cup, I think this is the best option that hasn’t been remade yet. While I enjoy Mario Kart Stadium, I think other Mario Kart 8 courses should be prioritized above it, and Wii Luigi Circuit is certainly a more worthwhile pick than Figure-8 Circuit. 11. SNES Mario Circuit 4- While It’s not the most amazing course ever, it’s still pretty solid and long overdue to return after getting Mario Circuit 3 for the literal 5th time. 10. 3DS Daisy Hills- A great pick for the shell cup as it’s simple but fun 9. Wii Dry Dry Ruins- One of the best desert courses in the series 8. GBA Cheep-Cheep Island- A fun, already very pretty beach course that would look amazing in HD 7. N64 Wario Stadium- The only course on this list I actually don’t like in the original version. However, I think it’s pretty unfair that it’s the only N64 course that hasn’t been remade and I believe it could be redeemed in a future remake. 6. 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar- Another course from Mario Kart 7 that is due for a remake- I really love the theme and visuals 5. GCN Mushroom City- I don’t get why this course hasn’t been remade yet- it’s one of my favorite traffic courses as well as one of my favorites courses overall from Double Dash. 4. DS Bowser Castle- One of the most unique and fun Bowser’s Castles in the entire series 3. GBA Rainbow Road- A very fun, underrated Rainbow Road that deserves to return especially considering we got the SNES version of this classic track in 7 and the N64 version in 8 2. 3DS Maka Wuhu- While I am a big fan of Wuhu Loop as well, Maka Wuhu would look especially impressive in HD due to its beautiful sunset especially with the awesome gliding section at the end 1. Wii Toad’s Factory- An amazing course that is long overdue for a remake- the theme and execution is easily one of my favorites of any Mushroom Cup course in the entire series. With that being said, here are the Mario Kart 8 courses I most want to return in the next game: 4. Thwomp Ruins- It’s my favorite course in this game’s Mushroom Cup and is simple enough to be the last course in the Shell Cup. 3. Toad Harbor- An amazing course that would fit perfectly in the Banana Cup. 2. Sunshine Airport- One of the best themes of any course in the entire series, with a great layout and visuals. It is definitely a more than worthy pick for the next game’s leaf cup. 1. Cloudtop Cruise- An amazing evolution of Sky Garden and Airship Fortress’s themes while doing it’s own thing as well, making it a great priority course for the Lightning Cup.
