RANKING EVERY Mario Kart 64 track

[@Rountree1985]

Wario Stadium is the only N64 track that hasn’t shown up in later games. That sucks because it’s one of my favorites, played it a lot back in the 90s.

[@NoeLPZC]

It's tough to bring back Wario Stadium because it's so broken. If they leave all the shortcuts in, people will be pissed because the track is broken. If they take them out, people will be pissed because you can't do the shortcuts anymore. Personally, they should patch the shortcuts and bring it back how it was envisioned!

Rainbow Road on MK64 totally missed the point of the SMK original. It was a track designed to test all your skills you had gained from the other tracks into one super tough finale. The fact you could fall off made all the more daunting. MK64 sticking rails on the side just ruined it.

I don't think they "missed the point", just wanted to try something different. Rather than send the players off with a punishing gauntlet, give them a chilled experience to wind down and savour instead. It's one of my favourite tracks for that reason.

[@Bluefire397]

1. Bowser's Castle - One of my favourites in the entire series, very complex, dark atmosphere, haunting music and a fun rack to revisit again and again. 2. Royal Raceway - Truly iconic, a perfect "raceway" track, tight turns, long straights, great to optimise, and of course the castle grounds being explorable. 3. Banshee Boardwalk - Amazing atmosphere, I used to be creeped out by this stage as a kid, mainly the house. Very unique, especially the jumping cheep cheep. 4. DK's Jungle Parkway - I adore this stage, the huge river jump, the bridge, the cave, the items being thrown at you, its almost perfect. 5. Frappe Snowland - I always loved the nighttime snowy setting, and the route is again very interesting, the canyon section is a personal favourite. 6. Koopa Troopa Beach - Great theming, great music, the route is very interesting and surprisingly good looking, an overall solid track. 7. Choco Mountain - You say boring I say great to optimise, the narrow path and steep sides make you feel accomplished when you pull off a good lap. 8. Kalimari Desert - The train element is the main thing here, I love it, but the western desert is a cool theme which we sadly haven't seen since. 9. Wario Stadium - Incredibly long and boring to some but the theming of a massive dirt bike stadium always excited me with the addition of the wall jump. 10. Mario Raceway - A huge step up from Luigi Raceway, the layout is much more complex and the greater focus on obstacles and more turns makes it more fun. 11. Toad's Turnpike - The traffic element is unique and a nightmare in mirror mode, but other than the glitches with the barriers its just a figure 8 with some cars. 12. Yoshi Valley - Probably gets overhyped for the alternate paths system, but other than that its quite bland but the theming and sunset are very nice. 13. Sherbet Land - Cool theming and I love the music but its very flat and bland and the cave section can be annoying to navigate, plus ice physics. 14. Luigi Raceway - A good introductory course but again nothing to shout about, just a simply loop with some slightly banked turns. 15. Moo Moo Farm - Asimple oval with not much to be excited about, the random element in the monty moles is kinda cool though I guess. 16. Rainbow Road - The railings make it far to easy and combined with the length its easily the most boring and tedious track in the game, perhaps the series. The music is iconic though.

Really good and fair ranking sir! Great job! My favorites: 1. Mario Raceway 2. Koopa Troopa Beach 3. Sherbet Land 4. Royal Raceway 5. Bowsers Castle Beach is there just for the atmosphere and music and good times multiplayer. Others have my favorite track sections and turns. I really like them in time trials too because of that. DK Jungle Parkway is nice, but it struggles in multiplayer a lot. Its hard to control when the frames dip low. Toads Turnpike is fine also, but I do like those sections with tricky corners, and Turnpike is more about adjusting to the seemingly "random" traffic more than taking the turns skillfully as its just figure eight in the end. I don't enjoy Warios Stadium. Its bad for time trial after you figure out how to shortcut it. Its long. And its longer if somebody messes you up with a lightning bolt. And that will happen and I do consider it a bit unsportsmanlike nasty trick personally.

[@n64glennplant]

He’s probably in the middle tier for me, always found him a bit too tall

[@jeangrey2788]

1:48 toad got wrecked lmao I was dying laughing

[@Nathan-mu1pz]

FAT disagreement right out the gate with choco mountain! It's a fun track with a friend on grand prix 150cc! Always have great races on that track!!!!!

[@n64glennplant]

Meh if you’re doing 2 player I think there’s many better tracks to be racing

[@DeafeningCha]

My least favorite is Moo Moo Farm, and Favorite is Bowser's Castle. I should also note about how you said Wario Stadium has the best music; all 4 of the "Raceway" tracks (Luigi, Mario, Wario, Royal) have the same song playing. Moo Moo Farm, Choco Mountain, and Yoshi Valley share the same music as well.

[@n64glennplant]

Yup that’s right, we were discussing below how I meant that it’s the best music in a sense that it’s most fitting of the course is wario stadium 😄

[@overwatch761]

I played Diddy Kong Racing first back in 1997 and it ruined Mario Kart 64 for me lol. MK64 was so bland, bad track design, woeful graphics, awful sound - like all Nintendo inhouse titles through the N64 era. Diddy Kong in comparison is in a different league in all areas!!

[@n64glennplant]

Yeah aside from multiplayer DKR wipes the floor with mario kart 64

[@joshuachittun9109]

Diddy Kong, a favorite, countless memories...the question remains will we ever see the N64 library on Nintendo Online. ...

[@n64glennplant]

Have to wait and see but not urgent for me right now as still don’t have a switch hah

[@Rorschachxx1985]

Hi mate how’s you? Because you talk about multiplayer a lot in your videos, and how much you say the n64 was great for it, I was just wondering if you would do a top 10 multiplayer list for n64? I would be very interested to hear your thoughts.

[@n64glennplant]

It would be a cool list to do some time

[@ejscorp]

My faves: Wario Stadium Rainbow Road Koopa Troopa Beach Kalimari Desert Royal Raceway D.K.'s Jungle Parkway

[@n64glennplant]

Lovely picks there

[@Skyler744]

Actually kind of stunned that you honestly think Glenn that Toad's Turnpike is actually the best track in not just this game but the series. Must be more of a nostalgia based decision because that is a hot take if I have ever seen one. Mind you, most of these tracks placements are hot takes. I completely disagree with 75% of your picks.

[@n64glennplant]

I didn’t say best in the series but ONE of the best, easily imo up there with some of the other all time classic tracks

[@the_most_ever_company]

Rank some Diddy Kong Racing tracks next? :3

[@n64glennplant]

I wouldn’t know where to start, love them all so much

[@the_most_ever_company]

@@n64glennplant Yeah, I feel the same way really... Thanks for responding!

[@n64glennplant]

@@the_most_ever_company no problem I always try to when I get the chance as I like the community feel we have going on in the comments section

[@sophieschollsreinkarnation5078]

Calamari Desert was always my favourite.

[@internetexplorer1593]

Calamari Dessert ahead of Yoshi Valley is absolutely unhinged

[@n64glennplant]

I’m here to trigger the world 🤩

[@colinbaldwin7773]

Mario Kart 64 is my favourite game. Such a fun time, and the best multiplayer mode ever made imo. My favourite track is Wario Stadium. Great video as usual!

[@n64glennplant]

Thanks Colin. - for multiplayer kart racing it’s the best on the console by a mile

[@Deo_Volente]

My top 3 for Mario Kart 64; 1. DK Jungle Parkway - I love the visuals of this course, especially the steamboat. It's a nice reminder to the past when that mode of transport was very heavily used. Playing on 150cc and trying to cut corners on this track resulted in me getting pelted by Durians a lot of the time 🤣 2. Bowser's Castle - fantastic visuals, I really appreciate the statues and paintings of Bowser everywhere throughout the castle and in the garden. It's like someone is trying to tell me something about who lives here but I can't quite figure it out... 3. Kalimari Dessert - I know everyone will think I'm crazy but I just love the old western theme of the dessert and steamtrain, along with the relaxing theme tune that plays in the background. Plus my friends and I would try get over the tracks before the train would hit us and that was always an adrenaline rush of excitement and made for some funny moments if we got hit.

[@n64glennplant]

Yeah I think in terms of attention to detail, bowsers castle is 🔥

[@eigeneagle9163]

In defense of Chocco Mountain...it was a really cool track to me when the game came out because it looked cool and had a real 3D feel to it, but today it is kinda ho-hum compared to most of the other tracks.

[@n64glennplant]

I hear ya, it’s aged quite a bit in comparison to others

[@MSaint]

That's weird, I never thought about ranking MK64 tracks - I have always considered them as small parts of the whole game. Maybe it's because I played only single player or grand prix with a pal and almost never in 4-player mode, so we didn't choose the tracks. I don't have my favourite, but i think I like Banshee Boardwalk the least - this track is just unintuitive for me.

[@n64glennplant]

I guess I like banshee more because of the horror type vibe in it

[@matthewwalsh3575]

My favourite is koopa trooper Beach followed by royal raceway when I discovered you can actually explore peachs castle, that blew my mind

[@n64glennplant]

That’s pretty cool isn’t it - almost an extension of mario 64

[@Jh9801]

I think Koopa troopa beach is my favourite level as it's one that genuinely rewards skill and risk taking with the jumps

[@n64glennplant]

Yeah that shortcut is also tough to hit !

[@vegan4theanimals]

I was ALWAYS Yoshi and my favorite map was all of the battle maps lol. Ok, seriously I'd probably have to go with Rainbow Road aesthetically and Koopa Troopa Beach to play.

[@n64glennplant]

Multiplayer was awesome in this game wasn’t it - battle mode 👌

[@kraigvandole2152]

Fun video, would love to see more of your ranked lists. Goldeneye level rank, Rare collector rank (Kazooie, Tooie, DK64 mixed), top 10 racing levels (Beetle Adventure, San Francisco Rush, Top Gear, etc). Could be fun to put that together

[@n64glennplant]

I enjoyed doing this and hearing people’s own so I’ll do more in the coming weeks and months

[@AgentXRifle]

I had a mario kart cart that played about 25% faster… sadly it got stolen. Moo moo farm and battle mode was hilarious and crazy… wish I still had it! Will post favourite tracks after watching!

[@n64glennplant]

Haha wtf that’s random!?!?!?

[@fazares]

toad's turnpike is my favourite track as well...but damn, i cursed it a lot when i was a kid, playing with my brother and friends, ahah..my favourite charcater is mario..btw it's the same in any mk, sport game or smash bros game lol

[@n64glennplant]

Marios always a good character to start with IMO as he’s pretty much a well balanced character in all the games he’s in

[@fazares]

@@n64glennplant yes...and the 1st game i ever played was the 1st super mario bros so...i love the character...and sm64 is my favourite game ever xD

[@magicjohnson3121]

My top three are: 1. Bowsers Castle- So fun dodging those thwomps. Just feels so hectic and chaotic 2. Sherbert Land- Love jumping over the corners, dodging penguins and just love how slidy it is. 3. DK Jungle- this one always felt the fastest. Shocked to learn it had the lowest frame rate. Underrated part they get rid of in future MK games is getting coconuts thrown at you when you’re off course.

[@n64glennplant]

See I normally like winter themed courses but never liked mario kart 64s for some reason

[@lupinthethird5784]

I like playing as Bowser the most because he is a heavy racer which is a trait especially useful in battle mode.

[@n64glennplant]

Oh yeah I’m Battle he’s badass

[@nekoprincess7489]

Loved this video! ^_^ My Top 3 Tracks are: Bowser's Castle; for the challenging twists and turns and for the throwback to the classic 16-bit castle level aesthetic of past Mario games; Wario's Stadium, for all the obstacles/jumps and for the memories of playing it with my sister and waiting to ambush each other with shells or lightning bolts before the big jump; and Toad's Turnpike, playing it on Extra/Mirror Mode made for an insane race! x3 And I usually play as Princess Peach, but sometimes choose Yoshi as well

[@n64glennplant]

Funny because they are my 2 least fav characters! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Moonstrider]

1. Royal Raceway 2. Mario’s Raceway 3. DK Junglepark

[@n64glennplant]

Nice picks Nicholas

[@burgerthief5333]

My favourite was Donk's jungle, glad to see it's up there in #2 position

[@n64glennplant]

Great minds think alike!

[@claygraphics1]

As soon as I saw this vid pop up in my feed, I thought 'Toad's Turnpike' is number one for me. Great minds!

[@n64glennplant]

Great minds indeed - best track imho!

[@TheZeldaforce]

My faves: 1. Koopa beach 2. Rainbow road 3.Bowsers castle

[@n64glennplant]

Lovely trio there

[@voodooopaque6357]

When are we gonna get Wario Stadium track in a new Mario Kart? Its been ages and still never been done! Its the last N64 track they need to do

[@n64glennplant]

I know right

[@nightruler666]

If you know how to pull off the shortcut in rainbow road you will pretty much win the race

[@n64glennplant]

Yeah I was never a fan of any tracks with glitch shortcuts, legit shortcuts are a different story
