[@thekingbradable]

Yeah there’s just so many to choose from in that one haha

[@StrikerSML]

@@mikebryse I don't think you got the joke...

[@wow-thanks]

Bone Dry Dunes is hella underrated. It's not a top tier course by any means, but it offers a nice challenge, especially at high speeds. The music and vibes of the course are not as bland as people make them out to be, in my opinion. I actually really like the dark theming to the course. I would argue that among the nitro courses, Mario Kart Stadium, Mario Circuit, and Water Park are more boring and/or less inspired. But really, it all comes down to personal preferences.

[@stupidperson8780]

Agreed, I honestly like Bin Dry Dunes. The worse in my opinion in the really boring Water Park track, even the name is boring.

[@andymcclurg9916]

Hard agree, it's one of my favorite nitro tracks: The theme of ancient leviathans buried in the sand makes for a great antigravity section driving across a giant ribcage, the desert hills make for some surprisingly difficult drifts, and the citar music is hauntingly cool in my opinion. It's a lot more inspired than any desert track before it, even if I have a soft spot for Dry Dry Ruins from Wii. There are many worse tracks such as the ones you mentioned plus Twisted Mansion, Sunshine Airport, Electrodrome, and the worst one by far, ExciteBike Arena.

[@Siphonophr]

I find the « hate » this track gets weird af and I dont get how many people are saying its the worse nitro in mk8. Its one of the tracks I like the most from mk8 but to be fair without any bias, the track is ok and not that bad as so many make it out to be. Mk8 has GREAT nitro tracks and that one doesnt stand out much but Id say that theres worse like WaterPark (the worse mk8 nitro track imo but its still a good ok track). MK stadium is fun online but its your typical first track and its not that great. Thwomp ruins and shy guy falls are tracks I dislike but thats my personal biased opinion on them cause they’re annoying af. Its a good thing when the « worst » tracks are actually fine and good cause then it means the devs made a heck of a great job!

[@elijahjp2158]

I think that Mario Kart 8 does such a good job with each track that it is very difficult to even figure out what the worst course is. There's not really any bland and boring ones, though some are more boring and uninteresting than others.

[@rararasputin8608]

Nah, I get you. I just didn't click with Water Park... Bone Dry Dunes can be a bit forgettable, but not the worst to me.

[@markymark443]

Toad's Turnpike was always one of my favourites. :( I get that on Mirror Mode it's a literal nightmare and a half, but the aesthetic is awesome (same reason why I love Mushroom City and Moonview Highway and Neo Bowser City) At least my worry of you putting Baby Park last for Double Dash didn't end up being true lol. One of my favourites in the series. Yes, it's a very simple track, but the chaos of all the items and trying to cut every corner as quickly and tightly as possible. Except the Mario Kart DS version. That one is absolute cheeks lol.

[@EdKolis]

You want a boring course? Try Rainbow Road of all things from Mario Kart 64! Three long laps of nothing! At least in MK8 it was shortened to one lap; I'll take Toad's Turnpike any day...

[@mikebryse]

As much as it pains me to say, Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64 is probably my 2nd least favourite track from that game. It is way too long

[@EdKolis]

@@mikebryse It's the road you go on when you die... of old age! 😉

[@atti_odyssey]

But the shortcut! And the spiral cut, and green shell cut, and heavy weight cut thingy, it’s easily the best!

[@RustyChessGrinder]

I must say I am so grateful for the changes they made to 64 Rainbow on MK8

[@EdKolis]

@@RustyChessGrinder Yeah, except now it feels too short! Maybe if they made it two laps...

[@RayAshG]

The Snow Land road has the same terrain as Cheese Land offroad and Yoshi Desert's semi-offroad. The way the terrain works is as expected, when you turn, you drift way off more than usual making the feel extremely sleepy and has you spin out way faster than usual, but you run about the same speed.

[@domskillet5744]

Idk I always found Sherbet Land a lot of fun to play. It has a great balance of sharp turns and open areas and generally looks really nice. My least favorite from Double Dash has to be either Mushroom Bridge or Mario Circuit

The traffic is already miserable to deal with, but on Mirror Mode, Toad's Turnpike is even worse. The traffic drives toward you. That alone makes it almost as bad as Wario's Gold Mine.

[@sevenoxia7199]

Great video, and you did very well for choosing a track that is the worst in Super Mario Kart! Here's my list of tracks from each game, so uhhh yeah (note that this is my opinion) Super Mario Kart: can't choose, I'd probably choose Choco Island 1 or Vanila Lake 1 64: Wario Stadium (there's a reason it's never been remade) Super Circuit: hard to choose since I like nearly every track, so I guess Peach Circuit Double Dash: similarly to Super Circuit, I like nearly every track, so I guess Dry Dry Desert (Baby Park isn't too far ahead though) DS: Figure-8 Circuit (although I do dislike other tracks here, specifically Yoshi Falls & Desert Hills) Wii: Luigi Circuit 3DS/7: Toad Circuit (although I like every track here somewhat) 8/8 Deluxe: Twisted Mansion (feels too uninspired and odd) Tour: Los Angeles Laps (this was a coin toss between Tokyo Blur & LA Laps, but Tokyo Blur won the toss so yeah)

[@mikebryse]

Very good list. Dry Dry Desert was a close 2nd for my least favourite track in Mario Kart Double Dash

[@zkoopa4445]

Speaking from experience. Back when I was getting all the trophies in Double Dash (succeeded), I always dreaded Mushroom City, for some reason I was always so far behind the guys in first and the oncoming traffic didn't make it much easier, Wii's Moonview Highway is a great revision of it though.

[@MM126.90]

4:27 I just realized that Luigi circuit is literally just monza without chicanes

[@hurricanemk8dx]

Agree with you SO MUCH on the part on Tokyo Blur. I never understood the hype for that specific track. Wave 1 in general had a pretty weak selection

[@MrGojira95]

Thankfully the music for Tokyo Blur is awesome

[@mr_piparker]

It had hype?

[@jomaq9233]

I think it was best to get Tokyo Blur’s remake out of the way in Wave 1 because of how simplistic it is (it makes sense to overall have the less spectacular tracks in the DLC for the very first wave) Wave 4 will likely also take a major step back in track complexity and difficulty, although hopefully nowhere near as much as wave 1

[@stormRed]

High quality bite sized vid, I really enjoyed it 😁

[@PereMarquette1223]

I actually really enjoy Toad’s Turnpike on Mario Kart 64 since it allows you refine your driving skills and on the bonus cup your reaction ability to dodge the oncoming cars. Some instances make you thread the needle between two side by side vehicles and if you pull that off it can really intimidate your opponents if playing against human players. CPU’s can’t do it either. If you do the track right you can catch up no problem. The figure 8 pattern makes it super simple. If I had to pick a track on N64 that was bad it would be Mario Raceway. It’s too basic and boring with zero hazards. The most difficult track is easily banshee boardwalk. It’s super sharp turns, lack of railings in many places and hidden hazards really make you memorize the track. A well placed shell or banana can decide the race. The darkness aspect is also something that depending on the part of the course you are on can play a role.

[@RedTV8888]

Well done, man. Totally agree with all of the choices, especially since I feel like these tracks don't get enough hate (Luigi's Circuit Wii deserve a few points for being shaped like Monza though). And the commentary was great and well written. Felt like I was watching a GameXplain/IGN video. Keep up the good work!

Why does everyone hate on Bone-Dry Dunes? The music is a banger and it’s a nice spike in difficulty in the game! Yeah it’s not the most exciting desert track, but it’s not the worst track in 8DX (cough cough Mario Circuit is just Figure 8 circuit with antigrav) 😃

same. I love Bone-Dry Dunes too. My worst picks (excluding retro tracks) would be Sweet Sweet Canyon, Water Park, Excite Bike Arena, Ice Ice Outpost or maybe Electrodrome (not the worst, but I also don't like it). Bone-Dry Dunes is one of my abolute favorite tracks. And the soundtrack is lit af.

[@jomaq9233]

It’s because it’s a desert, and the only desert tracks people actually seem to like are N64 Kalimari Desert (for some reason), Wii Dry Dry Ruins, and 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar (although does that one even count as a desert course?)

Hey mate! Enjoyed the video. You've got yourself a new subscriber. For me, while Bowser Castle 2 and its not-shortcut are pretty egregious, the Vanilla Lake tracks and their ice blocks take the cake, in a manner of speaking. It's like, obstacles are fun when there are ways to get around them and you can congratulate yourself on how smart you are, but you're definitely gonna be knocked back by some of those blocks. I totally agree on Toad's Turnpike. I do like the Mario Kart 8 remake of Toad's Turnpike, though. Driving on walls will never not be fun. Anyway, I'm gonna check out some more of your stuff. Cheers!

Most Mario Kart fans are idiots, glad some people are cultured :)

[@milkshakedraws6944]

I feel like Toad’s Turnpike is even worse in 8. It’s basically the exact same except the difficulty factor, which gave it any sort of edge, is completely gone due to the wider roads and anti-gravity on the walls. I’ve seen people argue that the anti-gravity improves it because it’s modernized, but I can’t understand how anyone can take that approach. Without the difficulty, it’s just a boring glorified figure 8 circuit with slightly more going on. If they brought back figure-8 circuit, I’m positive they’d add anti-grav on the walls, meaning they would literally be identical with the absence of cars, which granted, scarcely ever hit you. They should’ve brought back Shy Guy Bazar or even Toad’s Factory instead, and I’m still salty that neither of them will likely be in the Booster Course Pass.

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

Well said.

[@NoBillsOfCrashDamage]

The anti-gravity there felt forced, and I wasn't a fan of two way traffic instead of all of it going the same direction. Sad, really, as Toad's Turnpike was the first track that ever stood out for me.

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

@@NoBillsOfCrashDamage, I don’t mind two way traffic, as long as it’s not too narrow to be considered impossible, but not too wide to be considered underwhelming, or just boring. But yes, the anti-gravity was forced there. N64 Rainbow Road in 8 is undeniably amazing, but my personal complaint is that it was split into sections, which the original should have done, and the remake should have been done in laps, at least 2. 7’s custom track remake is rather impressive, and has the best balance at the moment, followed closely by N64 Rainbow Road’s official remake, and the original trailing far behind, the only saving graces being the music and the graphics.

[@NoBillsOfCrashDamage]

@@danielfotheringhamproducti7368 Maybe that was my nostalgia speaking. I still think MK8 Toad's Turnpike is more reasonable with the track width, but perhaps a little more than ideal. I understand 8's anti-gravity was the selling point but not every retro needed it. N64 Rainbow Road went from really long to really short; Nintendo overkilled the length adjustment for sure. 2 laps would have been best. I haven't seen many fan takes on those specific tracks so I'll have to trust you on this one.

[@milkshakedraws6944]

@@NoBillsOfCrashDamage Agreed. It especially irks me, as if they wanted to bring back a traffic track, they chose Toad’s Turnpike over something like Moonview Highway. Mario Circuit in MK8 is already the same layout, so it makes Toad’s Turnpike feel redundant.

[@brunolike8631]

I disagree with most picks so... 1- Choco Island 2 (it is in my opinion the single worst track in the series with it's spam of ramps that just make the track basicly unplayable) 2- Rainbow Road or Wario Stadium (both are long boring ass tracks that don't have anything intresting outside of some jumps in Wario Stadium and a chain chomp in Rainbow Road) 3- Shy Guy Beach (although it doesn't have the screen shaking the whole time, this track is just a boring bunch of sand with a square layout that screems unintresting) 4- Dry Dry Desert (oh boy is this track boring. Beautiful background? No! It's just a bunch of boring piramids. Memorable layout? It's a square. Good gameplay? The sand is slipery and the winner is always defined by the lucky person who got a star or a golden mushroom. High quality music? Easely one of the worst in the franchiese. Intresting gimick? The sand pit is stollen from Yoshi's Desert, the Pokeys appear in most other desert levels and the tornado is so memorable that they forgor about it in the remake. How long is it? It's one of the longest tracks in the game. F'ck This Track) 5- F8 Circuit (yeah, I agree with this one) 6- Luigi Circuit (same) 7- Sherbet Rink (I need to mention this becouse it's the single worst battle map in the series, with no competition. As for regular tracks, yeah, Toad Circuit is the worst even tho is a good starting course) 8- Sky High Sundae (it came in this game first, so it counts. It's not just becouse this track is the worst, that it is bad. Indeed the thing that makes me think it's the worst is the lack of perfect graphics and a layout that is just an oval) 9- RMX Choco Island 2 (I think you forgor about the RMX courses lol. If you are not counting them for whatever the reason, than I agree with you, Tokyo Blur is pretty bad) 10- Choco Island 2 on the ds (the worst track is also the worst retro lol)

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

I have to be fair, for the SNES, I actually think it should be Mario Circuit 1, yes it’s the very first track, but compared to its other 3 variants, this didn’t offer much, for the N64, Rainbow Road, because of the barriers throughout the track, only saving Grace is the occasional Chain Chomps, GBA is a lot more tricky as Peach Circuit is Easy, but Snow Land’s shaky camera was unnecessary, and I like its remake in the Booster Course Pass, GCN is also Hard, since none of the tracks are necessarily bad, and I feel guilty for Sherbet Land, because it’s alright, 8’s remake is absolutely wonderful, DS is where I can agree, Figure-8 Circuit is very bland, the rest offer something, Wii I can also agree on, though none of the tracks are necessarily bad either, and Luigi Circuit did offer quite a bit for a first track, it’s no Rainbow Road though, 3DS is partly agree, because Toad Circuit shouldn’t have been in the Booster Course Pass at all, let alone Wave 1, and I feel bad for the original version in 7, the WiiU/Switch is also a shame, as Bone-Dry Dunes does seem to be a good course, but is the weakest of the Nitro tracks (Though I consider it better than 8’s remake of N64 Toad’s Turnpike, I’d rather have that difficulty level), though Mario Kart Stadium isn’t too far off, none of the Nitro tracks in 8 are bad though, and Finally Mobile in Tour, I sadly have to agree with you, 8 Deluxe’s remake is better since it combines multiple routes, but the original never offered much to begin with, even London Loop and Berlin Byways offered something! So yeah, that’s my overall thoughts on your opinions, and that was my personal opinion. Thank you for reading.

Toad's Turnpike is definitely not the worst track in Mario Kart 64. The worst one is probably Luigi Raceway which still isn't bad. I agree with a lot of the rest except I'm not sure Snow Land and GCN Sherbet Land are the worst and while Bone-Dry Dunes is boring it's still not the worst.

It's possible I was one of the best in my 'hood at SMK that never owned it. There are also plenty of SMK playthroughs and shortcut vids on KZbin. BTW, that jump in Bowser's Castle 2 isn't that tough to make. IIRC, you just have to find the right angle. EDIT: You also have to driving pretty fast once you reach the end as well.

5:20 And what about the Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8/Deluxe versions of this track?

[@pauloneill1100]

What is this guy from Hoodwinked?

[@hhhh82user]

My Opinions: Super Mario Kart: Bowser Castle 2 - Sharp turns that are unfun, a dead-end you can only get past if you have a Feather, and overall an entirely unfun experience. Mario Kart 64: Rainbow Road - For being the last track in the game, it is just not fun. It's by far the longest track in the game, with each lap taking 2 minutes on average, which totals up to 6 MINUTES PER RACE. Plus, the track is extremely boring. The original Rainbow Road was so hard, and I think Nintendo heard people's complaints on the original difficulty and just said "Alright, fine, we'll cover the WHOLE TRACK in guard rails! You're welcome!" There are barely any obstacles, except for chain chomps, which are painfully easy to dodge, and it's overall just a boring experience, and I don't even think the music or aesthetics can save this from being the absolute worst in Mario Kart 64 and overall the worst Rainbow Road in the entire series. Mario Kart Super Circuit: New Track: Broken Pier - Somehow there is a worse track than Snow Land, a track that seems like there's always an earthquake all the time. Broken Pier is just boring overall and a tedious track. At least in Snow Land, you could maybe get past the screen shaking and have a pretty decent experience. Here, you'll be suffering constantly. Extra Track: SNES Bowser Castle 2 - Somehow, the worst track from Super Mario Kart managed to creep it's way into Super Circuit, and somehow it's even worse than before. A lot of the obstacles are removed, which sounds like a good thing in hindsight, but in my opinion makes it even worse. And remember the dead end in the original that required the feather? Well, Super Circuit has no feather! So if you go down the dead end, no matter what, you're screwed. Mario Kart Double Dash: Dry Dry Desert - Pretty boring track overall. So boring, infact, that I don't even have anything else to say about it. That's how bad and forgettable it is. It's still not bad, though, just mediocre. Mario Kart DS: Nitro Track: Figure-8 Circuit - It's a basic-ass starter course, and it's extremely boring. No obstacles, barely any turns, the only good quality it has is that it's a good place to practice snaking. Also, unrelated, but this was a stage in Smash for over a decade, and it was called the wrong name. In Brawl, it was called "Mario Circuit" even though clearly it's Figure-8 Circuit! It took until Ultimate until Nintendo finally realized that and changed the name. That's probably the most memorable thing about this track. Retro Track: SNES Choco Island 2 - I don't know how, but EVERYTHING about this track somehow went wrong. First off, they changed the amount of laps from 5 in the original to 3! This makes this track pitifully short. Second, the ramps are annoying, since if you're going at the wrong angle at the wrong speed, you can fly off probably into the offroad. And the mud that was originally inoffensive in the originally was ruined and now it's slippery. It is actually extremely unfun to play. I hate this track. Mario Kart Wii: Nitro Track: Luigi Circuit - It's a starter course. There's not much to it. But hey, at least it's more than Figure-8 Circuit, am I right, fellas? Also, the Gamecube version is better. Retro Track: GBA Shy Guy Beach - Honestly, this just doesn't fit. It looks and feels like a faithful remake of a GBA track, which isn't really the best. Honestly, IDK why I don't like this version even though I like the original version. Maybe because it just doesn't feel right. Mario Kart 7: Nitro Track: Cheep Cheep Lagoon - Basic-ass tutorial for driving underwater. Did we really need this?? It's not bad, but damn is it forgettable. And this is the WORST track in the game, and I find it mediocre. Honestly, this game has a really solid track roster, that's for sure. Retro Track: N64 Luigi Raceway - The first course from MK64. And, honestly, it doesn't really hit the same. Now they allow you to drive on the sides, but really that's about everything new they added. Also, they changed the item box balloon so that it doesn't always giving a blue shell. I get that'd be really unbalanced, and... Okay, yeah, nevermind. Mario Kart 8/Deluxe Nitro Track: Bone Dry Dunes - Honestly, just a pretty forgettable track. It's not all that exciting, plus it's a huge difficulty spike when compared to Cloudtop Cruise. However, it's still just okay. Retro Track: GCN Dry Dry Desert - The worst track from Double Dash was somehow also in here. And somehow it's even worse than it originally was. The plant thing in the sinkhole was removed and was replaced with... absolutely nothing. They also added a completely useless oasis, even though it's a desert and it's supposed to be dry. The mushroom shortcuts can be pretty fun to perform, but other than that, it's just bad. Booster Course Pass Track: GBA Sunset Wilds - This. This single track angers me more than anything else. Nintendo is so good at turning tracks with not much depth, like Ribbon Road into absolutely magnificent tracks. However, with this, there is barely any elevation other than two ramps and a single turn. They also removed some of the parts. What the hell!?!? But the worst part, is what they did to the sunset. They managed to remove the FUCKING. SUNSET. WHAT THE FUCK, NINTENDO!? If you can have the sunset in the GBA version of this track from 2001 and the Tour version of this track on the phone, which the BCP most likely ports it's tracks from, then HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU NOT ADD THE SUNSET INTO THE SWITCH VERSION OF THIS TRACK IN 2023??????? Remember how gorgeous visually the mud looked in Waluigi Stadium? Well, somehow it looks like shit here, to the point where I can't even comprehend what the FUCK it's supposed to be. Not even the music or the dancing shy guys can save this track. This is the most horeshit, absolutely atrocious track, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. No competition. Except maybe Toad Circuit, but still. Mario Kart Tour: Nitro Tracks: Tokyo Blur - Yeah, this is just a boring track overall. If I had to say which version I think is the worst, maybe Tokyo Blur 1? I don't know, really, mainly since I've never played any of them. And plus, I think the one I mentioned might be the most boring? I don't even know, I'm just inferring at this point. Retro Tracks: No. Just no. There are so many retros in Tour that there is no way I'm gonna check them all and see which one is the worst.

I remember when we got the Wii and Mariokart we were all so bad we were struggling even on Luigi Circuit so it’s probably good they had an easy course

Great video only one I disagree with is bone dry dunes, but that’s just because I enjoy the difficulty

I swear to God, every Mario Kart video I've seen is always "Toad Circuit bad", "Tokyo Blur bad". Am I seriously the only person who likes these 2 tracks?

Bruhh figure 8 was like one of my favorite stages from the DS... but that's cuz it was the simplest to snake on I had that stage perfected lol

[@planetbarrett6055]

Baby Park is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is easily one of the worst tracks in my opinion. Probably because of all the BS in that game. I know Baby Park is supposed to be chaotic, but I just hate it. Double Dash did a great job with it because of the Bowser Shells.

[@vicmikey]

Thank you for correctly calling out Tokyo Blur

[@Gauley_]

Tour is not a mainline mario kart game, why did you add it?

[@mikebryse]

According to Nintendo, it is a mainline game.

[@Gauley_]

@@mikebryse Ok, thanks

[@WritingCountingOriginal]

Just because it’s not liked by many doesn’t mean it’s not mainline, kid

[@ghostbaconhair]

les goo someone finally feels the same about bone dry dunes, it is PAINFUL online

[@finnmacleod3774]

For Mario kart ds, choco Island 2 is the most annoying and terrible track. Clearly no thought process or testing went into it and it is a pain to play.

[@bfapple]

Disagree on SMK. Vanilla Lake 1 is awful. zero grip on the snow, and ICE BLOCKS.

[@JSoldierPro]

Nice video! My Opinions: (Only counting nitros) SMK: Choco Island 2 (Looks like poop, bump spam is annoying, mud is excessive, offroad is too harsh.) MK64: Rainbow Road (Gorgeous visuals & music but way too long and boring.) MKSC: Snow Land (Nice theming but the track shakes constantly and its gameplay isn’t memorable at all.) MKDD: Baby Park (Don’t dislike this one but the novelty of items going everywhere simply wears off very quickly for me. I do respect it for being very unique though.) MKDS: Figure-8 Circuit (The most bland & boring track in the entire series as it offers quite literally NOTHING of value.) MKW: Luigi Circuit (Ending is fun with the boost panels on the inclined turn & a couple of shortcuts but most of the track is simply barren.) MK7: Toad Circuit (Very similar to the previous track with the ending carrying the track, though without the boost panels, but this track has an okay glider thrown into the mix.) MK8/MK8DX: Excitebike Arena (Concept is fun and the theming is very nice but tricking excessively in an oval is only so appealing.) MKT: Tokyo Blur (Cheating a bit here but I’ll use the 8 Deluxe remake since I’m not too familiar with the Tour versions of the tracks. Anyways this has the weakest theming if any of the Tour city tracks by far and the track as a whole has very little going on throughout.)

[@ethanworld2006]

In my opinion sherbet land is a bit underrated

[@IBakePotato]

DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE

[@XxZev124]

I think Cheep Cheep Lagoon deserves to be the worst track for Mario Kart 7 instead of Toad Circuit. The hole track is literally just an oval with barely anything to do other then do some tricks on the Clampies.

[@ethanalgicosathlonchannel1110]

I really like Toad’s Turnpike but your opinion I like the chaotic vehicles and the challenge of getting the item boxes, Mario kart 8’s remix is kinda boring imo

[@mikebryse]

I agree. MK8's version made it a little too easy. I wish there was a happy medium.

[@supercamborg4218]

Quality video, but I’d personally recommend displaying the games at their original aspect ratios for a better viewing experience rather than stretching the image for games not originally able to display in widescreen.

[@mikebryse]

Thank you for the constructive criticism. I really appreciate comments like this on how to improve the quality of my content.

[@MarioWithTheCrowbar]

I love the original Sherbet Land. Even tho I suck at the game (still haven't beaten the special cup), the freezees and shy guys aren't that hard to avoid. A perfect introduction to the star cup, which I think is is the best cup in Double Dash with every track being a banger. MK8 version is an ok remake but I do miss how the freezees worked in the original. Also, I slightly disagree with Wii Luigi Circuit being the worst nitro track in Wii, it is supposed to be simple to make the newer players learn the controls. The worst is Mario Circuit because while Luigi Circuit is also easy, Mario Circuit is in the flower cup. It has no right to be in the same cup as Coconut Mall and Wario's Gold Mine. But the video is pretty good and I can agree with most of the picks

[@benedictmayamba2434]

2:27 You forgot to talk about the Mario Kart 8/Deluxe version

[@dagoodboy6424]

The later tracks of mk ds had some crummy tracks like that one w the beach n pools of dark blue water or the dirt one w 1000 ramps.

[@s8v1]

sherbet land was one of my favorites for sure

[@RockstarcookieROCKS]

I absoluty hate tokyo blur thank god you added it

[@prestonandtom9337]

Dry Bone Dunes has amazing music.

[@PrinciaInk]

The shortcut over the lava pit in super mario kart is not this dificult i get it with feather pretty easy u need to take the speed from the drift turn before

[@venjix6678]

For me: - SNES Choco Island 2 - N64 Moo Moo Farm - GBA Peach Circuit - DS Figure-8 Circuit - Wii Moo Moo Meadows - 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar - Wii U Water Park - Tour Sky High Sundae

[@yveshku5583]

I enjoyed watching this video. Regarding your picks, each of them are understandable and I can respect them. I'll get out of the way that I won't mention Tour, as my only experience regarding it is through mk8d. SMK: Choco Island 1 just feels like it should be in mushroom cup, and felt underwhelming even by the standards of that game. MK64: Agree on Toads Turnpike. Cool concept, mediocre execution. Especially on Mirror. MKSC: Cheese Land. Sorry, but I simply never grew too fond of that track. It could have been generic desert and feel the same to me. MKDD: Peach Beach. I do like this track, but genuinely like the rest more. Simple as that. MKDS: Agree on Figure-8 Circuit. Even the "place name" 1 tracks from the og were more interesting than this. MKWii: Agree with Luigi Circuit. At least that was fairly neat though, and just lands in a similar predicament as Peach Beach for me. MK7: Agreed on Toad Circuit. That was fine for its job, but that's about it. Even glider ramp on there feels obligatory and adds next to nothing. MK8/8D: Mario Circuit. I will give kudos to how prominent anti-gravity was on that one, but the track didn't feel as interesting as it looked.

[@2kthrills168]

I STRONGLY disagree with your thoughts on Bone Dry Dune's soundtrack. It slaps Soo hard imo.

[@BobAnimate2k9]

Least Favorite Track In Every Game Super Mario Kart: Bowser Castle 2 Mario Kart 64: Banshee Boardwalk Mario Kart Super Circuit: Snow Land Mario Kart Double Dash: Mushroom Bridge Mario Kart DS: Yoshi Falls Mario Kart Wii: Luigi Circuit Mario Kart 7 Toad Circuit Mario Kart 8 Bone Dry Dunes

[@merodi5768]

Here’s my least favorite tracks from each game Snes: vanilla lake 2 if you played this track you know exactly why N64: luigi circuit for similar reasons for figure 8 circuit it’s boring GBA: Mario circuit because it feels too similar to peach circuit MKDD: unfortunately i havent played this mariokart so i cant say my least favorite from this game MKDS: a three way tie between figure 8 circuit,desert hills,and shroom ridge for all being rather boring MKW: luigi circuit though i find pretty much all the wii tracks to be enjoyable MK7: mario circuit because this track feels way more generic than toad circuit imo MK8/MK8D: excluding the dlc tracks id say water park idk i never really cared for water themed tracks Tour: Paris promenade because to me mk8d makes this track feel way more simple than tokyo blur

[@nevjb9932]

Bro N64 Toads Turnpike on Mirror Mode was a Nightmare 💀💀

[@charlesp9090]

Fun fact: Figure-8 Circuit is unironically my favorite Mario Kart DS track

[@Catpaw616]

The Rainbow Road in the Special Cup is a fucking pain for me. The turns are just way too sharp, making it hard to keep your balance in 200cc speed. Idk if I'm the only one that feels this way.

[@alanahbananas]

He forgot to add baby park to this list 🫡

[@CaptAztek1001]

That one is entirely luck based and it’s just too much in Mario Kart 8. Glad I’m not the only one that hates this one.
