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

[@PianistTanooki]

Because we already got DK Mountain. Unless the goal is to include absolutely every last course in series history, with a limited selection, it makes sense to get rid of redundancies. No need to have two jungle-themed courses from the same game.

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.

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 💀

[@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.

[@HimekoIzayoi]

My top 10 most wanted retro tracks (that weren´t in Deluxe) for the next game: 10. 3DS Bowser´s Castle 9. Airship Fortress 8. Banshee Boardwalk 7. Daisy Hills 🐐 6. Maka Wuhu 5. Delfino Square 4. Shy Guy Bazaar 3. Lakeside Park 2. Wario Shipyard 1. Toad´s Factory Yes, 7 had some amazing nitro tracks.

[@JonathonV]

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!

[@arcgabbro10]

30:28 I feel like this part was targeted towards me specifically.

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!

Figure 8 circuit at 32???? That is imo the single worst 3d mario kart track ever made, its not even close. It has 0 shortcuts, 0 obstacles, 0 jumps, 0 boost panels, and 0 references to any mario game or character. at least luigi raceway has that balloon with the luigi on it, and it has boosters on the outside of the track.. moo moo farm has some montey moles and a bumpy road. what does figure 8 circuit have??? A stadium?? luigi circuit for the wii also has that and you put that lower for some reason. Figure 8 circuit doesnt even have a theme, its just a road.

[@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.

[@anthodisiac]

Luigis Mansion deserves way higher than 27, the vibe was impeccable. Imagine the remake they could make from it
