Ranking EVERY Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Track

[@arya_moghadam]

Wow, I love the dedication you put into making this ranking video. I recently put together a Booster Course Pass ranking video and now currently working on ranking the base game tracks. The script writing for this must’ve been a ton to write, but a lot of fun! I definitely agree with most of the ranks you’ve given. I was slightly shocked when I saw Piranha Plant Slide so low on the list though. It’s not my most favorite track, but certainly isn’t the worst with what it offers. It has underground Super Mario Bros references and I actually really love the music. But I respect your opinion. Overall really well put together video. At least you did better than me, since my Booster Course Pass ranking video went over 2 hours 😂

[@GameGuy53]

Glad you can appreciate the effort that went into the video, it was no small feat! And as for Piranha Plant Slide, I see what you mean with the underground references. Calls back to the original games. I figured I would be in the minority with that opinion, I wonder if anyone else will call it out.

Sky High Sundae did indeed give me a seizure. And Miyamoto refused to pay my hospital bill. 0/10 course.

[@GameGuy53]

Nintendo is going to have a class-action lawsuit on their hands because of Sky High Sundae.

Good rankings, very enjoyable video! :)

[@GameGuy53]

I’m glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

[@mmarrone]

Considering Toad Circuit avoided #96 and a lot of slander, this list is a win. I agree with the Sweet Sweet Canyon fountain comment, which is why it ranks much higher on my personal list though. This guy ranks standing.

[@GameGuy53]

I would love to see your rubric for judging courses.

[@psd_seth]

Happy to see some respect for Paris. I always see it ranked near the bottom of the city tracks, but always I’ve found it really fun. The fact that the first two laps are the same adds some familiarity that the other city tracks don’t have.

[@GameGuy53]

Great point about the first two laps, I didn’t even think of it that way!

[@H0BLER]

Yay GameGuy! This list was very different from mine in the first half, I definitely have some thoughts but I can see the vision. The top 5 though…. you cooked. Great job man

[@GameGuy53]

Glad to see you back here again, I was waiting for your comment! Happy to hear that I at least made some sense in explaining my reasoning, and that my top 5 satisfied your taste.

[@TheDynastyWarrior13]

I'm glad there is another Squeaky Clean Sprint enthusiast, it's a legendary track, that music and the theme go so hard.

[@GameGuy53]

The music is constantly stuck in my head.

[@TheDynastyWarrior13]

@@GameGuy53 Oh dude me too, it’s just so whimsical and catchy. The whole track is just everything a good Mario Kart track should be.

[@dg_777player5]

Personally I find Tour Berlin Byways as one of the best courses in the entire series. It's a car course that has more to offer than just avoiding cars and when you're driving on the road it's never boring for there are vehicles everywhere to dodge or very cleverly placed enemies. It's by far my favourite city course and one of the series' biggest sleeper hits in my opinion. I like it so much that it convinced me to visit Berlin this January when deciding a vacation spot and I can say after visiting the city that it is perfectly faithful, it's literally a scaled-down version of the city adapted into a course. Even then Tour/BCP Ninja Hideaway is still the best course in the game but not by much. Big respect for BCP/Tour Squeaky Clean Sprint's placement though, that is a classic indeed.

[@autismandgaming4532]

Props for not putting Toad Circuit dead last. Yeah sure it’s b**ch simple and not very nice looking, but it’s not THAT bad...

[@GameGuy53]

Totally agree, I’ve seen it at the very bottom of other lists and I think it deserves at least an ounce of respect.

[@ilan_profile]

YAY THE FINAL RANKING IS HERE!!

[@quangamershyguyyz7166]

Small question. What’s with the chapters in the description? Why are there only a few random numbers there?

[@GameGuy53]

I divided it evenly into 4 sets of 24 (plus the top 10) rather than listing all 96 time codes out individually. I should rename them to make it clearer!

[@acmiguens]

Great video! It's definitely the kind of ranking that would vary greatly every time you make it 😅 Also, just in case no one does it: "Otherwise" 😂😂

[@GameGuy53]

Absolutely - it’s a literal crapshoot! And yeah while editing myself I definitely noticed myself using a few phrases over and over again and also misphrasing certain things. It’s such a long video that I was like “screw this I’m not changing it”😂

Wild, depending on the day your top ten is the exact same as mine.

[@GameGuy53]

You’re a guy who just gets it.

[@Melecie]

25:26 oh, gold mine in 23? alright, i can understand why, but not really a big fan of it here "i know people personally who don't like WGM and to that i say skill issue" ...which is funny as i don't like it because they nerfed the main section of it to be quite easy, but technically you're not wrong that it is, in some way, a skill issue, it's just not mine in this case excitebike is in 89 so i am not mad this is still a fun ranking

[@EpicPaul64]

Near the beginning, there were a few iffy choices, like Baby Park not being close to the bottom, but as the list progressed, I started really respecting your opinions! Good job on sticking through with this to the end, especially with your stellar editing! ...Now I gotta get started making one of these...

[@GameGuy53]

I’m glad you could appreciate the video despite the disagreements, and thanks for the kind words! Yeah making one of these takes time - but I think the end result is worth it. You should go for it!

[@Jess_acnl]

This was an excellent video (and I’m not just saying that because I agree with your number 1 track). I strongly disagree with a lot of your picks (why did you rank the mk8 rainbow road over bowser castle 3 😭) but I enjoyed it nonetheless ❤ you’ve got a new subscriber!

[@GameGuy53]

I’m really glad you enjoyed the video despite your disagreements! Happy to have you along for the ride👍🏼

[@pumpkinsartz]

I agreed with most of what you said in the video until you said that falcon would have been a better addition than inklings.

[@strictlysilly9867]

I am disappointed in your #1 choice but you were very entertaining nonetheless 😂

[@GameGuy53]

I’m glad you were still able to enjoy the video despite the disagreement!

[@AK_804]

I don't know how to explain it but, Tokyo Blur should still be lower, and Toad Circuit should be higher! #ToadCircuitForNumber1 Also, in the wave 2 video you ranked Snow Land number 1, how is it so low now? I also really find it funny how you initially ranked Tokyo Blur over Shroom Ridge, but now Shroom RIdge is ahead by 40 spots lol

And as someone who lives in Rome, I can confirm there are, in fact, chain chomps in the colosseum

[@mailpaper7754]

Mario Kart? My my. I don't feel like putting every single track so I'll just put my top 5 and bottom 5: 96. Dry Dry Desert: Bland, boring, snoozefest of a track 95. SunsetLESS Wilds: This track was simplified and no sunset, why tf is it even here? The datamines showed they worked on it for at least a year and never got the sunset working and never decided to scrap this poor excuse of a remake. 94. Sky High Sundae: Boring, janky in a bad way, and nasty visuals 93. London Loop: This is just boring and bad 92. Toad Circuit: Again, wtf is this doing here? Now the good shit 5. Snow Land: Simple but fun, amazing glowup 4. DS Mario Circuit: Unpopular but idc, layout is fun, hazards are fun, music is great, and it looks like a 3D World level which is my favorite game ever. 3. Waluigi Pinball: Obviously its Waluigi Pinball lol 2. Koopa Cape: Idc if stuff has been removed, this track is amazing with this games physics 1. DK Mountain: Best track in the entire series 1000/10

[@GameGuy53]

I see some crossover with our bottom picks, I guess some tracks are just undeniably bad! And interesting top choices, especially Mario Circuit. I can definitely see it though, that’s a really nice remake. DK Mountain W is totally understandable as well.

[@mailpaper7754]

@@GameGuy53 I remember being so upset when Mario Circuit was revealed in the wave 4 trailer, now its my 4th favorite track in the entire game lol, and I was so nervous about DDJ getting in wave 6 instead of DKM but luckily Nintendo make the correct call, its good too cause I'm still pissed about Pipeline so if DKM was also left out ooooo me and Nintendo would be having some words.
