What if you Removed Lakitu from Mario Kart?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is filled with beautiful tracks, but we never get to see the backgrounds; until now that is! We even included a few tracks from Booster Course Pass.
Shoutouts to @Ro and @NuoKart for removing Lakitu and adding collision to most of the background objects.

For those wondering, you can play the N64 Rainbow Road track on Gamebanana, but the other tracks have been requested to remain private by the modder.

[@Mattc0legaming_]

crazy how Nintendo put so much detail into things you can barely see.

[@justinevilofficial]

Baby Park has a lot of details even if it's a very short track

This just makes me wonder why tracks like Maple Treeway and the Electrodrome haven't showed up as levels in a 3D Mario game, they would be SO MUCH FUN to explore!

[@matteo1462]

there is a glitch you can do where you can explore the bottom of maple treeway by slowly braking and falling off the edge, and bypassing the out of bounds plain, and you can actually explore a good portion of it too

[@MeesterTweester]

Yeah!

[@pokedude900]

If you ever do another one of these, you gotta try Big Blue. It has perhaps the largest and most insanely detailed background of any track in the game.

[@bobbybingo4506]

It’s crazy that that map can run in 60FPS

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

He should try Battle Stadium and all of the other battle stages too

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

And he should go into the Wii U Mario Circuit, Cloudtop Cruise, Shy Guy Falls, Toad's Turnpike, and Dolphin Shoals backgrounds too

[@noname-jt6kl]

I can't believe how much detail these tracks have. You literally race on this tiny track yet they put a massive city with individual houses, streets, trees and even moving cars and trains where you can't even see them.

[@harrybest2041]

21:22 That's just a normal ship, not the Daisy Cruiser. The Daisy Cruiser is in Yoshi Circuit and it looks different.

[@masibb64]

I'm sad now that you didn't show the Koopa Troopa Beach(N64) in Sunshine Airport😢 you can see the stone Koopa in the background, next to those islands as a Easter Egg. I was curious how it would look like driving next to it. But fun video regardless!

[@greenberrygk]

I’m fascinated by things like this, but one of the best games with these kinds of robust backgrounds is Splatoon. One of the backgrounds has an entire fleshed out city with moving cars that you can only see the tops of the buildings in-game.

[@mysteryman1834]

This is insane but I really do wonder how GBA Ribbon Road would work with this.

[@AlbertBoris]

I know Mario Kart 8 would be a lot more forgiving with exploration in that case lol

Yeah I seen something like this before

[@AHHHHHHHHHHHHLLLYYYY]

It sounds familiar because some other youtuber did this before NB.

[@fnafmasterof]

actually i watched red falcon's vids on these and apparently a lot of the collision was added in by thee modder to allow you to explore more of it

[@LandonEmma]

I saw some annoying person who doesn't even know how to play Mario Kart post the same mod video but didn't even tell us who made the mod, of course Mayro already did a video of it before him so I knew it was him. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS!

[@coolguyyy9071]

If we removed Lakitu how would we know when the race starts? It wouldn’t be Mario Kart it would be just “Kart”

[@alccoderonscartch7909]

Just because lakitu is gone, does not mean mario is removed from the roster

[@alccoderonscartch7909]

So it’s still Mario kart, just without boundaries

[@DustinHarrisonCat]

6:00 Imagine paying for the DLC to get Choco mountain

[@alccoderonscartch7909]

Well heck yeah your gonna have to pay the dlc if you don’t want your switch to be bricked

[@martingamez3869]

The craziest and most op skips can be done without lakitu because trying to skip or falling off the map in Mario kart makes lakitu come with his rod and take you back up

[@elladoros]

no way, he does that?

[@aidanmoore8751]

17:18 How would it be based on the mario odyssey version when this track came out on 2014....before mario odyssey was even a thing...?

[@Tomversal]

10:41 - when the out of bounds textures still beat the DLC textures

[@dominicbonogofski]

20:16 I was really hoping you'd edit in Link's vocal track from OoT when you fall down a large pit as adult Link.

[@crazynaut223]

Nintendo could've given some of these areas more collision and detail and made them into pretty decent battle courses

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Right?! I was just thinking about how sick a full game of Mario Kart battle mode would be, with big levels and more players and crazier weapons (and probably special character-specific items like they had in Double Dash)! Maybe it could be something along the lines of those old Twisted Metal games on PS1/2

[@specialbeamvegeta4059]

@@idontwantahandlethough could do a Battle Pack for free dlc or something with this idea

[@playerlgamer0592]

It’s flat because it’s less tris… No other reasons…

[@LARKXHIN]

There’s a lighthouse item in AC, but not nearly that big.

[@lordlem]

I’m honestly impressed with how much effort Nintendo put in rainbow road despite not being able to access the lowest parts

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Not only can you not access them, you can't even SEE a lot of that stuff! There's a level of detail there that they must have known wouldn't be seen by 99.9% of players since a lot of those small additions would surely be smaller than a pixel from track height. I guess those graphics people must really love their job (I guess I would be too if I got to work on Mario Kart)

[@had0j]

this comments the exact same as the one from 'Kebee the reincarnated kirby plush' lol

[@thefollower2933]

Honestly, I can't even put into words how amazingly detailed all of these tracks are, like they really make you feel like you're just racing on a tiny part of land, but they really went above and beyond, like I don't even know if you can see that sign in baby park that says how much you have to pay to get something, or the cars and toad houses in N64 rainbow road, or the character houses in mario kart stadium. I also know that Mute city has like, an entirely different F-Zero track in the background, a desert called fire field, and I don't even think it's that noticeable. It's absolutely nuts.

[@siyahseeker]

14:15 Yes. Sometimes in the GameCube Animal Crossing, Tortimer (the mayor) will take a vacation, and will need the player to turn on the lighthouse light by going inside every day for a set amount of time. Doing it on all the days grants you a special reward.

[@theepicpaulparty5700]

Despite Nathaniel being very nostalgic for Mario Kart 64, he did not go to Koopa Rock which is on Koopa Troopa Beach which is in Mario Kart 64. Stage is Sunshine Airport and is one of the background islands.

[@Juan_blooms]

We should get new tracks based off of these backgrounds alone

[@ZT5DX]

They remade baby park and put it on Mario Kart Tour and it’s exactly the same as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Baby Park because it has all the details from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

[@diabeticman2194]

The amount of detail in these tracks is so cool, didn't know some of these details existed. The fact that Waluigi's attraction in Water Park is driveable is so cool!

[@music-channel69]

That first city is insane. So much potential for battle modes, racing, missions, and other things.

[@sledgen.]

Okay this is amazing. If you got one of those shots in the video for the thumbnail this would get the views it deserves

[@StonerWaifu]

*drives straight up the side of a building, then a up a mountain into space* BIG RIGS OVER THE ROAD Kart. Also, it's pretty wild that they went to the lengths to put collision on objects you don't even see during normal gameplay.

[@Fr0st5646]

I’d love you to try this in wuhu town. It would be so cool to see the infamous wuhu island in 8 deluxe.

[@owenvoegtli4467]
