Would be funny if someone ported all the tracks into a realistic driving game like Forza or something and then actually tested how many of the tracks are possible.
2:54 (gba mario circuit) should theoretically/technically be possible to drive on because if you look at the opening animation of the course,they raise that part of the track,so you could essentially just lower it back down and you'd be fine 4:14 Donut Plains (lake problem) amphibious vehicles/hovercraft exist that should be able to handle that (although any normal car would probably flood their engine attempting it) Edit : you should give the booster course pass a shot
For that second one in mario kart the vehicle they use are karts(duh), which usually aren’t amphibious because if we were being as accurate to the game as possible(still following safety regulations of the real world though) the kart can’t go underwater since the driver would have to be amphibious themselves if they didn’t want to drown

Want to mention that in defense of wallriding in a car, there are downforce-heavy vehicles (like the McMurtry fan car) that could, given some design adjustments at least, drive on a vertical surface. Formula 1 cars have been shown to create enough downforce to drive upside down as well, and while not practical in any sense could provide a weird way to run some courses.
I feel there could have been reasonably capacity to define the vehicle as some sort of rally car that can do some of the medium sized jumps and glides. remember they can often add a catch ramp to jumps. and I think some level of partial or temporary submersion would also be fair. nothing world breaking, but something more than a ford focus with extra suspension yknow
most of the retro tracks being drivable is logical as older games didnt have things like anti gravity or gliders or underwater, I mean, even the jumps where sketchy on the more early mario karts, so they had to be drivable from the start

5:02 I can actually explain this. While the name does seem weird, it's actually clever play-on-words. Electro is referring to Electronic Music, and Drome is a fancy word for Race Track.

the first two glider segments could be countered IRL with long jumps and ramps so not entirely implausible… cars can drive on sand and ice, it’s difficult but not impossible…if it was impossible a huge number of Scandinavian people wouldn’t get anywhere in winter
5:00 electrodrome is probably a reference to the fact most race tracks are old airports or "aerodromes" the name was then changed to "autodrome" if a track replaced a airport
the bike arena is basically just a dirt bike circuit so its definitely possible if you just drive normally on the track with stadium trucks for just dirt bikes
Fantastic video! Really fun and snappy, and I love your sense of humour! And such an original and silly idea! I would definitely love to see one for the booster course pass and more videos like this
@@neight818,you can drive through a shallow pond with a ATV,because it’s stand for All -terrain vehicle,so it’s actually possible to drive on a GCN Dry dry desert-ish track with this kind of cars
For electrodrome being named that, the definition of the suffix drome is “denoting a place for running or racing” and a lot of real life circuits use drome in their name including in other languages(autodromo hermanos Rodriguez is the first one I always think of)
5:01 the reasoning for it being called electroDROME is because a drome is a place where races take place and like thinking about it electroDOME doesnt make sense at all since theres nothing dome like about it
0:40 sure the creatures used in the games to make you avoid a specific place or area arent real but barricades on race tracks are a thing and the serve the same purpose. so you could just replace them with the real life counter part.
If they built even just one track in Super Nintendo world it would be the most popular ride ever. It would make Cars land, Autopia or anything else Disney might try look pathetic in response.
Please tell me im not the only one who always tried to fly into the big statues mouth in the last track in the banana cup (DK jungle) Edit: its here: 4:34
FYI: A "drome" is a suffix derived from the Greek word "dromos," meaning a running or a race course. In English, "drome" is used to denote a place of action, or a place for a specific activity. Examples include aerodrome (a place specifically designed for the landing, takeoff, repair, or storage of airplanes), velodrome (an arena for bicycle races), and hippodrome (an ancient Greek stadium for horse and chariot racing). So "Electrodome" wouldn't make sense.
