The Best Hidden Details From EVERY MK8DX Base Game Track

Ever seen an interesting hidden detail in Mario Kart 8 and wondered if there were more? Well I'm here to show you my favorite hidden detail from every base game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe track!

[@Pokemichael]

Fun fact on top of your fun fact: The track names on signs in Sunshine Airport were the only evidence of GCN Sherbert Land being in the game before release, as it was the only course part of base game Wii U not to appear in any of the trailers for the game.

[@koosloo_ulia]

Its crazy how subtle some of the textures are, I would’ve never noticed that star in twisted mansion for example.

[@alan-tairov]

bro i just saw you on aktans post

A detail I’ve never seen anyone talk about is how there is a sign on Moo Moo Meadows that has a picture of the track with its original daytime skybox and with pine trees instead of the sunset and the round trees that we got.

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

Yes, and that detail is part of those textures used for Moo Moo Meadows. Also, another unbelievable detail that probably nobody ever talks about is that Yoshi Valley has a yellow and orange skybox, and you'll be able to see that, if you go onto the track's page in the Super Mario Wiki site and find it (it's the facebook postcard photo of that track anyways

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

A small detail I like is most non-mario tracks have unique coins. Animal Crossing has bells, Zelda has rupees, Yoshi's island has the Yoshi coins. Hell, the Splatoon battle map has the coins used in the game.

[@De_an]

I feel like most people have noticed this, though. It's not really a "hidden" detail.

[@SuperJGGaming]

One thing about Sunshine Airport I only noticed while doing my own free-cam was seeing how the feathers on the counters resemble the feather item’s colour scheme! Which is a cool callback because this was in the Wii U version (no feather item yet) 😄

[@evanwirth7881]

I love the little world building between the tracks like how Toad Harbor, N64 Rainbow road, and Super Bell Subway take place in the same location. As well as the consistencies with companies across tracks. It just makes things so fun to look for details in.

[@BonkColaOfficial]

Nobody's seen it yet, but the scoreboard on Battle Course 1 is modled after the racer select screen from the original Super Mario Kart

[@CafeCharlie]

Oh ok, I've been trying to figure out where I've seen that design forever now. Thanks!

[@Herothecreaturemaker]

YES, thanks for nailing it right to Nintendo that we don't want texture less play-doh tracks! You've stated it a few times but I still can't believe the art style transition from the base game tracks to the DLC tracks. And all because they thought Mario kart tour was the Mario kart game we wanted.

[@syailenthahir3289]

nah they probably just wanted to reuse Tour assets, not bcus Tour is the definitive mario kart

[@lilynikos]

while i do agree that the art style transition for BCP is odd, my guess for this decision is that they supremely underestimated how much it would sell and had a much smaller team working on the earlier waves using tour assets before realizing "oh shit, people want this." although it doesn’t get to the same level of detail as base 8, the later waves of BCP i do think get quite close to art style of base game which, in my opinion, shows they started trying a bit more

[@CathodeRayKobold]

Keep in mind that the first couple waves were released as Nintendo were winding back up after Covid. It wasn't so much an intentional artstyle change as it was developer inexperience and workload.

[@Plaidleyhaha]

These details are awesome, crazy how much effort they put into hidden Easter eggs that 99% of people won't notice

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

I think you can only see this in-game, BUT I think there are asteroids in Wii U Rainbow Road which are hard to see very clearly from very far away, but you can see them when you align your kart at a certain angle

[@LuigiHann]

Obviously it's not really "hidden" but I find the SMW-style fortress they added to Donut Plains to be a very cute detail

[@bytebeamer]

My favorite content from you is Mariokart 8 stuff!

[@_vanessajane]

Some of the BCP tracks actually got some pretty neat details to explore!! I think a video on that would be fun as well

[@daandanx]

Lovely video with a fun concept! The camera work on the noclip maps is also very well executed

[@CafeCharlie]

Thanks!

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

@@CafeCharlie Yes, and your video was excellent too. Anyways, I think there are asteroids in the Wii U Rainbow Road track that you can only see in-game (they're hard to see real clearly though) and you would be able to see them if you turn your characters vehicle in a certain angle

[@kappa_philosophe]

It's crazy how much this game is detailed! But yeah it's sad that the DLC tracks are less intricate...

[@reason9262]

Its actually ridiculous when you compare the level of detail and care in tracks like super bell subway and mute city to the bcp ones lmao

[@madrid_drive_enjoyer]

The city tracks have LOTS of details you wouldn’t know unless you live in the city, but they tend to be a bit low poly. Paris Promenade has a landmark in the background you can almost never see for example. Other than these tracks, the BCP tracks were made for tour, a MOBILE game. Adding details will probably fill up unnecessary space, but it was an unfortunate side effect for the dlc.

[@A_guy_named_ivan]

Rainbow road n64 is based on paris, where there is a statue of liberty, (which is what the peach statue is based on) but there is also one in new york, where i'm assuming that peach statue in toad harbor is referencing.

[@Leopez02]

Bowser's Castle has been my all time favourite Mario Kart 8 track since Nintendo Wii U Era and it still is even after a full Booster Course Pass DLC because it looks bad ass and it have a banger the best Mario Kart track theme ever it Rocks! 🔥🔥

[@noayoutubeaccount]

I have a special one thats not involved with the stages but the game itself: Every single track in mario kart 8 is built to have at least one coin in it, either on or outside the track. If there was absolutely no coins in a track. Then the game crashes.

[@silly-goose-127]

weird

[@De_an]

If you do a version of this video with the BCP, can you showcase the magenta at the top of GBA Sunset Wilds's skybox that is just straight up impossible to see during regular gameplay? Not only does it look nicer than the oversaturated yellow that you normally see, it's also way more accurate to how the original skybox looked in Super Circuit.

[@madrid_drive_enjoyer]

I have one; Mount Wario’s first lap resembles a W. Look it up

[@VOXD56.MP3]

We need part 2!!

Why yes, i have raced through a track in mario kart 8

[@CafeCharlie]

I'm triggered by the fact that it's called Electrodrome.

[@Sparx632]

@@CafeCharliewe can blame the French for that, Velodrome is from French and means a place for cycling, Electrodrome is based on a Velodrome.

[@CafeCharlie]

@@Sparx632 Oh cool, thanks for sharing!

[@silly-goose-127]

@@CafeCharlie who isn't? however ig the dutch name is electroDOME for some reason lol

[@soulguibo]

looking back at super bell subway theres a lot of wall art in the lower area and theres one particular piece that shows the pirhana plants as well as pipes but the pipes are bending in the shape of a word that seems to say either "PASH" or "DASH" i could just be misreading that, but by any chance do you know what could be?

[@CafeCharlie]

Yeah I've seen that before, not quite sure what it says.

[@3dsfan2002]

You should make” why does everyone hate smash 4 video” because I feel like smash 4 is overhated

[@cruisinagain1698]

cool video and concept but itd like a number, or a bar, indicating when we're onto the next track, the video goes by really fast TwT

[@CafeCharlie]

Yeah could have been organized a little better, thanks for the feedback!
