What's The Worst Track in Every Mario Kart Game?

[@gideonlosee]

I'm not going to defend bone-dry dunes, but I will defend it's visuals, they are AMAZING. The scenery is cool and diverse and I like the colorful cloth in contrast with the orange and brown of everything else. and the sand ship is very cool.

[@thechargedfoxie456yt2]

It's visuals are okay at best compared to other tracks in MK8 They are good but when compared to any other track they're pretty bland I do enjoy the darker sand color though as compared to normal desert tracks, making it feel more like a mesa

I will defend Bone Dry Dunes. I like it

[@thechargedfoxie456yt2]

@@DonutCube I don't know why I hate it but I just kinda do It's the same for everyone else Everyone hates it but we just don't know why It just doesn't feel good to play I think it's because of the amount of turns and how they're done but I'm not sure And why I specifically didn't care for the visuals is it didn't hit what they were going for They made it look like a mesa but feel like a desert It would've been cooler to drive on the edge of rugged cliff sides, maybe expand the tunnel and add a small little mine

⁠@@AnAveragePurplePikminI kinda agree with Pianta though, there’s something about Sky High Sundae that just feels _off,_ that isn’t shared by other food/sweet themed tracks and levels.

[@SamRegan610]

I'm gonna have to disagree with your take on Sky-High Sundae, because you're judging it based on the 8DX version. The Tour version is way better as it's not in anti-gravity so no floaty physics, the railings have collision, and all the trickable surfaces lend themselves well to Tour's auto-tricking. It's still not great, just a more interesting Excitebike Arena, but far from the worst Tour has to offer. To me the worst Tour track is Tokyo Blur 2, with New York Minute 2 and RMX Bowser's Castle 1 being dishonorable mentions

This genuinely makes me mad How the heck is sky high sundae worse than Tokyo blur Sky high sundae is amazing and Tokyo blur is at best bland and way smaller than all the other city tracks Also vanilla lake 2 is my favorite track in SMK because of the theming Driving around the giant lake is a good idea that almost every ice track after takes inspiration from in a small part of them Plus I think a remake could be amazing with the water mechanics and I've even been making my own remake which has a giant snowman in the middle of the lake This makes it so you can fall into the lake and drive around the snowman while not losing a huge amount of time but obviously going slower underwater and missing the shortcuts above, however it is also safer since most players will stay up top and won't be throwing items at you if you're in the lake Also everyone uses the excuse that N64 wario stadium is bad cuz it wasn't brought back but it literally should be brought back more than any other track All they have to do is add a few obstacles, some anti gravity and glider ramps, and make it a section based track, and boom it'll be one of the best in the series And finally, HOW THE HELL DID YOU EVEN CONSIDER MOONVIEW HIGHWAY?????? im genuinely confused Like im not a big moonview defender or anything but its literally a fan favorite track You, sir, are trying to incite a riot

One very important thing to note about the Tour track you chose. You should judge the Tour version, not the MK8D version.

If I get far ahead, feels like it takes a few mess ups for them to pass. As opposed to 64 where bumping a wall causes four racers to fly ahead. I dunno, maybe it gets worse later.

[@apagan0075]

@robertlauncher AI doesn't function completely until you enter 150cc/Mirror/200cc in modern entries. 64's whole thing with rubberband is basically an FPS thing. The AI will recover faster if they're off screen, and the designated rival AI is faster than the player. Something that doesn't get mentioned is that they can't use Reds and Blue Shell, but they do use it in Super Circuit and foward.

Super cool theme, great music, but insanely brutal and super unfun to race on. 8 Deluxe fixed every problem I had with it by just letting me BREATHE on it lol. Sky High Sundae is definitely worse in 8 than Tour, though. I'm also not a huge Bone-Dry Dunes fan, but it's more ugly than it is bad. The shortcuts are pretty good and it IS better than Dry Dry Desert. Imo, Water Park is the worst. It's just so, so boring. And it has, what, one shortcut in the whole thing? Not to mention it's also basically an oval. It's a beautiful course, but outside of looks, I'd rather race Bone-Dry Dunes any day.

[@Photostar625]

STOP THE EXCITEBIKE HATE! I honestly see Excitebike Arena as a more technical and longer Baby Park. While I agree that the straightaways can get boring, it's technical enough to provide that same level of action for me. All I want to see is a cross between Excitebike Arena and Baby Park, that'd be awesome. Imagine driving on a road filled with ramps, but the size of baby park! Do you go for UMT's on the turns or trick boosts? Use trick boosts for off-road shortcuts, there's so much you would be able to do! Sky high sundae is just worse Excitebike. They tried, but failed, to give it a worthy successor.

[@ddnava96]

I have to disagree with Wario Stadium (N64). Rainbow Road (N64) is even worse. The whole track has walls and the only things that make it remotely interesting are the starting jump, the lights drawing character faces and the Chomp. The track is arguably linger than Wario Stadium and it has nothing interesting going on. Other than the big jump and a smaller jumo in the middle, the whole track is basically flat with very broad turns Wario Stadium, as long as it is, at least has some more interesting stuff going on with the different hills and bumps and some sharp turns. The track is also way more bearable if you do the very easy shortcut at the start of the race which, let's be honest, everyone does

I know everyone else has been talking about the Sky High Sundae portion, so im going to shift to another topic because I disagree pretty hard on the points you make about Snow Land tbh. Ik the screen shake thing is usually the obvious flaw to point out but the fact it wasnt mentioned here feels strange because the other arguments kinda fall apart, especially right after you said the MK8 version is a significant glowup. Like you said that it's visually uninteresting, yet the MK8 version is pretty 1 to 1 from a theming perspective (especially compared to some other GBA tracks in the game), essentially being the exact same theme remastered to fit an HD environment. You also said the track design is uninspired and while, again, the MK8 version is almost exactly 1 to 1 aside from the added verticality, i feel like its a disservice to say that about the original version too because of the ice shortcuts unique to it. Plus you said the track lacks any identity beyond being an ice track, which i think is kind of pushing it considering the same can be said for a large chunk of tracks in Super Circuit. Riverside Park and even Yoshi Desert to an extent come to mind, as well as most of the Bowser Castles. Now all of this said, i do personally think that Snow Land is the weakest track in Super Circuit (admittedly because of one singular major flaw), so i don't necessarily disagree on the opinion. I just think some key aspects were left out here and the points that were made didnt have enough elaboration to give them legs to stand on. That said, i can always get behind Figure 8 Circuit hate lmao

It's fine if you don't like Sky High Sundae but most of your complaints don't make any sense. You said stuff like "what is this, some sort of alternate food dimension" and "it's so bright and saturated, it feels more like a Fall guys map than a Mario Kart track." Bro, Mario has been doing bright food/sweets based courses way before Fall Guys was even a thing (Kart, Party and even the mainline Super Mario games like Galaxy and Odyssey). It's not out of place at all for a Mario game. Also, there's no zero gravity in Tour so that "everything is in zero gravity" complaint isn't relevant when talking about Tour. The only reasonable complaint I understand is it being an oval.

GCN DK Mountain is one of the best retro tracks in the series.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

@@Theworstnoobever the original is a GOAT, but the Wii remake is boring

[@Theworstnoobever]

@@Mr.Goldbar I still think it's better than the one in MK8 Deluxe.

[@NathanCraft90]

My list: SMK - vanilla lake 1 64 - moo moo farm MKSC - peach circuit MKDD - they are all great! DS - Waluigi pinball Wii - daisy circuit 7 - rock rock mountain Wii U - twisted mansion Wii U DLC - they are all great Tour - Paris promenade 1

[@thechargedfoxie456yt2]

Rock rock mountain is way better than toad circuit Except in 8 It's okay at best in 8 just because they ruined the gliding mechanic In 7 it's so fun

[@Kevin_OE]

Sky High Sundae is peak

[@StarSpire72]

Worst Track In Each Game: SMK: Vanilla Lake 2 MK64: Sherbet Land MKSC: Snow Land MKDD: Dry Dry Desert MKDS: Desert Hills MKWii: Mario Circuit MK7: Cheep Cheep Lagoon MK8: Bone Dry Dunes, Baby Park MKTour: New York Minute

[@IMK205]

Bone dry dunes is one of the best tracks fym Also there’s no way you think Wii Luigi circuit is better than Mario circuit

[@ChirpyLuNa]

Cheep Cheep Lagoon is worse than Toad Circuit

[@thechargedfoxie456yt2]

No. Not even close Toad circuit is just downright bad I'm a heavy 7 defender but even I don't understand what the developers were thinking with toad circuit The only track I think is even close to being worse is the remake of N64 Luigi raceway in 7

[@stuffenjoyer6677]

I agree with Bone Dry Dunes and Sky High Sundae, those tracks are awful.

[@bigcheese123]

I'd say my worst picks would be: SNES - Choco Island 2 N64 - Moo Moo Farm GBA - Broken Pier GCN - Sherbet Land DS - Desert Hills Wii - Grumble Volcano 3DS - Daisy Hills Wii U - Bone-Dry Dunes Tour - Tokyo Blur 2

[@thechargedfoxie456yt2]

I don't agree with grumble volcano or Daisy hills Daisy hills is just aesthetically pleasing and has a good layout And everyone shits on grumble volcano cuz "track too hard I cant git gud"

[@andressevilla6982]

I agree with almost everything. However, 9:20 yeah it's a Skill Issue really that track is enjoyed by time hunters and pros. It is probably one of my best time trials track and is really fun the precision it involves

[@LightningStarSC]

Worst per Game SNES: Bowser Castle 2 N64: Banshee Boardwalk GBA: Broken Pier GCN: DK Mountain DS: Desert Hills WII: None of them are terrible, but Koopa Cape is overrated. 3DS: Piranha Plant Pipeway WII U: Excitebike Arena CITY: Paris Promenade NEW: Piranha Plant Pipeline

[@thechargedfoxie456yt2]

DK Mountain and Banshee Boardwalk are literally fan favorites Also there ain't no way piranha plant slide is worse than toad circuit to any sane human

[@quepow7840]

My picks: Smk: bowsers Castle 2 64: hot take but for me koopa troopa beach is the worst Sc: snow land Dd: sherbet land Ds: if we were including retros then i would say baby park but since we aren't then figure 8 circuit Wii: mario circuit 7: toad circuit 8. Bone dry dunes Edit: i actually forgot to put tour but my least fave track from that is tokyo blur

[@Alpha-oo8]

I would say sky high sundae is better in tour. The city tracks in tour are not as good in tour though because, you know how a track changes each lap? Most of those laps were individual courses. Tokyo blur laps one and two… well they live up to their name. It’s a blur, there’s nothing to see on them

[@ivanzoneBR24]

Grumble Volcano is definitely the worst Wii Track, I hate that course so much, its seems every time I played I get bumped into the lava for stupid reasons. I despise that track, its a horrible finale from one of the best cups ever that are the Wii Star Cup. Daisy Circuit, Koopa Cape, Maple Treeway are all bangers, but then comes this awful track to end it off, yeah, it sucks, but I still love the Star Cup despite of this course.

[@scouttengu]

I actually really like Grumble Volcano. I thought the way that the track slowly breaks away as the laps progress is a really cool gimmick. I'm also a big fan of lava stages like the Bowser's castle tracks because of their difficulty. But yeah, getting bumped onto lava is awful.

[@jambone4464]

Bad at Game doesn't equal Bad Track

[@nicholasknight6828]

I like Grumble Volcano because of the things you dislike, I believe that since the difficulty it had makes it better

[@phyllojoe5346]

I love grumble volcano bc I am good at it!

[@Archualudon]

I'm one of the few people who dislike Grumble Volcano but considering it as the worst course in Wii is a bit too far

[@wesleytucher6332]

Idk, but I kinda like sky high sundae And whenever it’s in your if you don’t have stupid as fuuuuuucc bots, it’s quite fun in tour

[@DarkKirby14LP]

Yoshi Valley is the worst in the 64 and Wario Stadium DS is a bad track Peach Circuit is the worst GBA track will concede that GC's worst is Dry Dry Desert Luigi Circuit for Wii 3DS is Toad Circuit 8's is Bone Dry Ruins

[@flime1042]

The only track that I would call bad is probably baby pack it’s just a oval

[@MyNaymIsSnek1526]

Yeah, at leassst the other oval, Excccitebike Arena, had plenty of tricksss to keep you occupied… and tricksss go BRRRRR

[@fastboysonic]

Finally, someone agrees with me that baby park is the worst

[@kevinasare4178]

It’s only good in mk8 deluxe

[@Paragon13]

I’ve heard people complain about Figure 8 Circuit for having a boring shape, and Shroom Ridge for having the cars to crash into. Yet these same people think Toad’s Turnpike is great. It’s literally the two aspects of Figure 8 and Shroom Ridge they hate the most put together. I’ve also heard people complain about Excitebike having a generic shape and not having much to do, then proceeding to talk about how much they love Baby Park. In other words, it’s best to not let other people’s opinions bother you. Some people are just idiots.

[@dmk12345]

@@kevinasare4178 It sucks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

[@jmaster4941]

I'm only going to list nitros from games I've played personally: Double Dash's Bowser's Castle is very basic and bland compared to the others. It needs an overhaul. DS's DK Pass is underhated honestly. Super forgettable and doesn't feel like a Donkey Kong track at all. It's basically what DK Summit in Wii eventually did better. Wii Grumble Volcano might be beloved by many, but I hate its visuals and layout. Not fun to play on in my opinion. 8's Cloudtop Cruise is super boring and bland. I don't like the theming at all. Tour's New York Minute just isn't as cool as the rest honestly.
