The only sad part about this wave is that they didn't add 96 race Vs. Mode
its sad but who would really use it
@@stonee402 me lol
@@stonee402good point, only streamers prolly for the whole marathon
Bruh who is going to spend almost 5 hours playing Mario Kart in one go lol
I spend 5 hours at a minimum in every session
There are two things that surprise me about this video, the first is that you had more hype for Rome than for Madrid and you ended up liking Madrid much more, and the second is that you value Madrid, really any city track with a blue sky is doomed to be just as boring as Tokyo just because it has the same sky, but I like that you are more objective and value more for the content of the track and not just because Rome simply looks pretty.
I would love to see you rank all 48 Booster Course Pass tracks in one big list! I wonder if any of your opinions of previous waves changed overtime? I know mine did
That's definitely gonna happen! A lot of opinions have changed since I first made those lists...
@@AlbertBoris Oh cool! I'm eager to see that! Will you ever make a ranking video involving the original 48 tracks?
Makes sense just to Rank all 96 in one video..
Second comment now that I finished the video, here’s my ranking of Wave 6:
1st DK Mountain. Absolute favorite track in the series and they still nailed it exactly like how I wanted it to turn out. Some nitpicks I guess is I wish the second boulder still came from the top of the first sharp turn instead of on the second and also the bridge just being a tad longer. Other than that, phenomenal remake and I love how they made the gap cut harder to pull off.
2nd: Madrid Drive. Might be my new favorite city track and I’m happy that my ancestor’s home is the final city track in the game. Really a blast to race on even if at first I was iffy about Madrid 1 being the final lap.
3rd: Bowser Castle 3. Stellar remake and they outdid themselves with this one when they really didn’t have to lol
4th: Wii Rainbow Road. Another they didn’t have to but it’s amazing and plays almost exactly like its original Wii counterpart. Also noted that it is in fact the longest track in 8 Deluxe almost clocking in at 3 minutes.
5th: Rome Avanti. A little less hectic than I thought since they did get rid of one of the paths entirely but I love how it turned out and it’s fun to play! Love also how adorable non Tour players struggle in these tracks lol
6th: Piranha Plant Cove. I wanted to rank this higher since I was hyped for it since it came out earlier this year in Tour but it feels really barren and empty sometimes despite it looking as serene as ever. It’s one of those tracks that’s unfortunately a slogfest in 150CC but plays amazingly in 200CC. Not the best thing imo.
7th: Rosalina’s Ice World. I like the new remix of the theme and the atmosphere but not much else going for it. Would’ve rather personally preferred Shy Guy Bazaar or Wario Shipyard instead but then again the former is a Mushroom Cup track and the other could clash with PPC so it’s kind of the best filler 3DS track they could’ve chosen even if I don’t agree personally. Still the definitive version of the track however.
8th: Daisy Circuit. Why? Idk it was my least hyped track since its bottom 3 for me in Wii and Dry Dry Ruins was right there as a Top 3 Wii track! Track feels massively over-scaled as well like PPC and considering we’ve known this track the longest kinda drags out the hype further for me.
Besides that, I love how the BCP turned out even if there were still some favorites of mine in Tour that I would’ve loved. Most likely besides Dry Dry Ruins, I would’ve also loved to have seen Mushroom Bridge originally, Piranha Plant Pipeline, and Airship Fortress rip.
“No! Bertil! I’m sorry!” Got me laughing so hard.
Fun aside, this is my ranking:
8. Dk mountain. Too thin, and the shortcut sucks. The sun is also in a spot which makes it even worse.
7. Rosalina’s ice world. Good atmosphere, just too bland.
6. Rome Avanti. I love and it’s my best track. Just too much competition.
5. Piranha plant cove. I love the graphics. The gameplay is also amazing.
4. Madrid Drive. So fun and music SLAPS!
3. Bowser’s castle 3. Music is peak, fun turns, and just great all around.
2. Rainbow Road. A little janky but still a beautiful experience. And they kept Saturn in the distance 🪐.
1. Daisy Circuit. I love it. Beautiful theming and execution.
Hi Albert. Great video! Kind regards
My list:
8. Daisy Circuit
7. Madrid Drive
6. DK Mountain
5. Wii Rainbow Road
4. Rosalina’s Ice World
3. Piranha Plant Cove
2. Rome Avanti
1. SNES Bowser Castle 3
WHAT WHY IS WII PEAKBOW ROAD SO LOW🥺
Well, it was super fun, but hey, at least this means we’ll finally get our potential next Mario Kart!
I appreciate the Madrid love. It was kinda crazy seeing it in Mario kart because I lived there for a month and I recognized everything. I lived directly across from Retiro park and was on the same street as Puerta de Alcalá. I didn't know anything about Retiro(one of my favorite locations I've experienced) before I went to Madrid, so it was a crazy experience seeing it in Mario Kart.
It's been an incredible journey!!
8. Wii Daisy Circuit
7. 3DS Rosalina's Ice World
6. Tour Rome Avanti
5. Tour Madrid Drive
4. SNES Bowser Castle 3
3. GCN DK Mountain
2. Piranha Plant Cove
1. Wii Rainbow Road
Acorn cup had a little too much hate, as I think Piranha Plant Cove and DK Mountain are better than Rosalina's Ice World and Madrid Drive. These are my rankings based on experience (they are better than most waves tbh):
1. Wii Rainbow Road - I mean, what did we expect lol? While they did take away the crazy shortcuts, it overall just plays so well and better in anti-gravity, not to mention they kept things like the meteoric fall animation and the components that made it one of the best rainbow roads. Definitely a banger of a track.
2. Piranha Plant Cove - This one very much impressed me for a water track, with great short cuts, great scenery and I love how each lap makes it feel like a new track each time. Definitely one of the best non-city tracks from tour.
3/4. SNES Bowser Castle 3 - Now this was a fantastic glow up, with the track looking incredible and the anti-gravity adding a fantastic action packed feel to it. It is however let down by it just being short.
3/4. DK Mountain - Always was a fun and fantastic track, which not only looks good now but it also kept the great end shortcut. I just think however the other tracks in this wave outshine it just barely (This and Bowser Castle 3 could swap places).
5. Madrid Drive - It is better than Rome with aesthetics and many more enemies to dodge, not to mention each lap feels memorable. It is however still not better than the likes of Athens Dash or Vancouver Velocity though.
6. Rome Avanti - It's a pretty great tour track with great turns and great aesthetics, but I feel like other tour tracks outclass it.
7. Rosalina's Ice World - Quite a good ice track, but it just doesn't compare to the tracks above.
8. Daisy Circuit - Fun track, but as it's a circuit, its simplicity therefore lets it down.
a bit of a shame, DK Mountain really missed where a good chunk of retros hit and we probably wont even get it for the next game - they gotta make Dino Dino Jungle next level to make up for this!
My ranking would be
8 Madrid Drive:
It's just another city to me, it's more interesting than most others but it's not the best one to me
7 Rome Avanti:
Same as Madrid but I vastly prefer the atmosphere that helps it be on top of Madrid in my opinion despite the lesser variety
6 Piranha Plant Cove
It's pretty cool, it's very pretty, and it's better than Pipeline in my opinion, but it's not the best one between Tour's nitro tracks in 8, 3rd worst behind Sky High Sundae and Merry Mountain
5 Wii Daisy Circuit:
pretty great track with a really beautiful glowup and really nice gameplay overhauls, just doesn't make sense being so late in the DLC but I guess with how much things got stirred, this is where it ended up
3 SNES Bowser's Castle 3:
The visuals, hazzards, elevation and music make this SNES track feel like anything but, it's pretty short but it's amazing how much fun that short time is
2 3DS Rosalina's Ice World
I might be biased because alongside DS, 7 was one of my childhood Mario Kart games, but I think this track was one of the best of that game and the glow up in this game leaves Tour's in the dust
1 Wii Rainbow Road
Wii Rainbow Road
Rare footage of Albert Boris actually putting the biggest fan favorite of the game/wave at number 1.
What shocked me about this wave is just how good Peachette actually was. Her biker suit was needed and had helped her feel more like a Toadette alt rather than a Peach alt
She’s a wasted character spot that could’ve been King Bob-Omb or something else instead of an alt character
@@johnomalley7211 look I really wanted King Bob-Omb as well. He was my number 1 pick from tour. I’m just making the best out of what we got
@@theblueone_14 yeah I can enjoy the other 3 but I’ll never play with Peachette ever🤣
@@johnomalley7211 fair enough! She’s definitely not for everyone and I get why she was a disappointing inclusion
@@theblueone_14 I mean she could’ve just been a skin of Toadette🤷🏾♂️
Ranking the Waves:
1st - Wave 6
2nd - Wave 4
3rd - Wave 3

The Best Track Is Easily Wii Rainbow Road, My Favourite Soundtrack, Gameplay, It is Great!

The Rainbow Road had too many guardrails and wasn't difficult enough.
Facts and it feels cramped
@@Calavera_15the tour version actually is more difficult somehow they managed to make it easier in d8x :z
Like many MK8DX remasters.
My rant on Rosalina's ice world
This was a bottom 5 3ds track for me and the layout is boring however that isn't the reason why it's last. This track stole piranha plant pipelines spot in the bcp. And ppp was my favourite tour nitro track In the game and I was 99.9% certain it will come into the bcp but no Rosalinas ice world robbed it's rightfull place in the dlc. In fact when I played wave 6 for the first time I purposely didn't play riw (short for Rosa's ice world) and if it got picked online I would just leave the room. The only good thing I will give this track is the music but I will never forget the sins that it committed.

This wasn’t gartic ice Wtf
First?
Imo Madrid is not that good. Yea they have cool sections but most of the time you are just driving on streets. Like my first time playing I did not realize I went through a market cause you are going too fast to notice those things. The only cool thing is the stadium and how the music changes. Rome is a much better race course than Madrid but both are not great city courses.

I'm going to be honest, CTGP was better, those fanmade custom tracks went so hard, Nintendo taking tracks from Tour to put in 8 was a strange decision, awhile the Booster Course pass was fine, fans basically outdid Nintendo with CTGP.

The reason Wii Daisy Circuit is the 3rd course of the Acorn Cup is because almost every Wii course is the 3rd course of a cup. So, it made sense for Wii Daisy Circuit to be the 3rd course of the Acorn Cup (even though it's easy) since it's a Wii course.
Daisy Circuit is potantially one of my least favorite tracks of this DLC, I find it incredably boring and lame. The visuals are amazing! Until you enter the town... Thank god they textured the roofs you can barely see and made random objects wood right :D
Kingly, my favoret was ogagnil pirhana plant cove, but the more i Think abuot it, its now Wii rainbow Road.
Gonna post this again cause I can hehe
This wave is easily the best one yet. Amazing tracks, consistent visuals, banger remixes, and amazing characters. What an amazing end to an amazing DLC.
In terms of ranking, I'd rank them like this:
1. GCN DK Mountain: Has been my favorite track ever since the Wii days and man was this remake amazing
2. Wii Rainbow Road: What an epic remake of the original and a fitting end to the DLC
3. Tour Rome Avanti: Most likely my favorite city track. The routes just feel so good, this should've been in Spiny
4. SNES Bowser Castle 3: Wow a SNES track with good visuals, elevation, and a banger remix? Who would've thought
5. 3DS Rosalina's Ice World: A calm yet chaotic track. Definitely underrated and deserving of a slot
6. Tour Madrid Drive: Good city but the route order is pretty bad. Imo L1 was the best, L2 was easily the worst, and L3 is good but short
7. Wii Daisy Circuit: A simple but fun track. Always have loved this one and its remake is faithful and fun
8. Piranha Plant Cove: Oh boy do I have a lot to say about this one. I never thought I'd say this, but the Tour version of this track is better. I love Cove in Tour, but here it feels so big, long, and some sections just feel empty. Imo the 2nd worst nitro track and a pretty disappointing way to end the nitro selection if you ask me
I really enjoy the characters, but I think wave 5 had more unique and fun characters.
Rosalina’s ice world is kind of a disappointment, pipeline would have been a way better experience
I agree DK Mountain feels off for some reason. I like the Wii version better. Love the horizon though.
I personally cannot ever consider liking Rosa’s Ice World. I just find it dismal and unfun to play.
Now rank the Mario Kart Characters by how many times they’ve been good
Must.. keep.. away.. wii rr.. from... 1st place...
The bad tracks have wasted potential mostly.
I've been a massive Daisy Circut fan since day 1
Madrid has a top tier layout but kinda boring…
Thankfully the BCP finally ended
Wave 3 was probably my favorite.
Wave three was good but I have to give the edge to Wave 5 Squeaky Clean Sprint in my second favor Nitro in the BCP and Athens Dash and Vancouver Volocity are two of my top three city tracks add in Moonview Highway being better than expected and my favorite GCN track that came to the BCP Daisy Cruiser and 5 has to be the best wave
@@steventomasi5557 good point, it was great! However, 3ds rainbow road is the reason I like wave 3 the best.
Wave 5 is my favorite, even after the Sunset Wilds incident.
Madrid at number 2 is wild in my opinion
My top 10 Booster Course Pass Rankings.
1. Sydney Sprint
2. 3DS Rainbow Road
3. Singapore Speedway
4. Wii Rainbow Road
5. Kalamari Deserts
6. Athens Dash
7. Berlin Byways
8. Peach Gardens
9. Maple Treeway
10. SNES Bowser Castle 3
well this is a ranking and I highly disagree with it! some good points here but uh... yeah I just disagree lmao
here's my ranking!
8th: Daisy Circuit (high C tier)
It's fine... I guess. I have some fun playing on it and I love the opener section of the OST but the town section is a bit boring/slow paced and I hate the reused assets from Sydney Sprint.
7th: Madrid Drive (high B tier)
I like this one but... it's not that crazy of a track. I think that Madrid falls into the London and Tokyo syndrome of having boring straightaways dominate the track. Ultimately it's a high B tier because it is dynamic/complex, and that football stadium is really cool.
6th: Rosalina's Ice World (low A tier)
Suck it haters it's here and better than ever! I like the janky-ness of the track now and the music is cool, but the graphics are a bit of a let-down. Besides that it's Rosalina's Ice World, so it gets a low A tier placing for me.
5th: Rome Avanti (A tier)
Opposite to Madrid Drive, Rome doesn't have the bland straightaway syndrome. Yes the course is simpler, but it's more consistently dynamic and complex and overall a lot of fun.
4th: Piranha Plant Cove (A tier)
I really like this course. It felt more dynamic than you gave it credit for and that's all I can say about it.
3rd: DK Mountain (high A tier)
The janky-ness here is perfect and I totally think this course works amazingly in 8. I also always preferred this over Dino Dino Jungle despite being a kid who grew up with Mario Kart 7.
2nd: SNES Bowser Castle 3 (S tier)
A perfected SNES track with loads of things happening, there's never not anything happening and that's what I love about it.
1st: Wii Rainbow Road (S tier)
*perfection*
8. Madrid drive
7. Daisy circuit
6. Bowsers castle
5. DK mountain
4. Rainbow road
3. Rome avanti
2. Rosilinas ice world
1. Paran plant cove
It's pretty crazy that adding some underwater physics and adjusting the scale slightly made Rainbow Road all that much better. Wii Rainbow Road was never my favorite one but still in my top 4. However it might just be my favorite Rainbow road now! It's fantastic!
Shame that the entirety of the Acorn Cup is the bottom half, but I’m happy they’re all good regardless.
I’d argue that Madrid Drive as number 4, still in the top half, mainly due to its routes, but still being brilliant in every way it could go, 3DS Rosalina’s Ice World as third, as that one feels under-appreciated, SNES Bowser Castle 3 is actually in my opinion, number 2, due to being the BEST SNES remake to exist, better than Tour’s version actually, and even Wii Rainbow Road at number 1 is no surprise, I didn’t expect the entire track to be anti-gravity, the fireball effect returning from the original, and just being a satisfying conclusion to being the final track of the game.
Honestly, it really ended on a perfect note, and I couldn’t have been more happier with what we received!
Thanks for covering the Pass in its entirety, and hope for more brilliant content in the future!
Personally I'm seemingly in the minority that Deep Moray Trench is the weakest course in Wave 6. Just felt very sluggish with water physics and it's the only B tier course in Wave 6 for me
I feel like I'm the one person who loves Rome Avanti and is not really a fan of Madrid Drive! Every ranking I saw ranks Madrid over Rome. But that's just how opinions roll
I'm just going to give my opinion on each track:
Tour Rome Avanti: not a bad remake, but not using the most obvious layout (Lap 1: RA1, ending like RA2, Lap 2: RA2, ending like RA1, Lap 3: the same as in the final game) really worsened it. Also, why do people say the atmosphere is foreboding? It's more calming than anything, to the point where it can send you to sleep until the chain chomps clamp onto the metal.
GCN DK Mountain: going in, I was wishing this track wouldn't make it in, as I didn't see the appeal. Now, it definitely see it. Other than half of a shortcut being removed, it's an excellent remake.
Wii Daisy Circuit: a good remake, but it's inclusion in the final wave over Piranha Plant Pipeline (even though it replaced a GCN track that I believe was Dino Dino Jungle due to being 6-6) made no sense.
Piranha Plant Cove: an excellent remake of this course. It would be clever if this track was counted like a Tour City and Pipeline was the non-city, but all you can tell from this is that I'm salty Pipeline got axed to screw with us all.
Tour Madrid Drive: this is a great city track. It truly feels like a grand finale to the game's city tracks (ironically enough, same with Tour). From the Museum to the Football Stadium, this is one city that knows how great the gimmick is. Sadly, it came at the cost of some square feet of the Plaza Mayor and a Wiggler.
3DS Rosalina's Ice World: here's the track that replaced Pipeline. Honestly, though, it's an excellent remake that did the near impossible task of making this track worth existing. The colour scheme having a planet esqe feel, and the half pipes being introduced to 7 retros with this track makes sense as they were a gimmick introduced in Wii, which was the same game and on the same console Rosalina first appeared. Speaking of near impossible tasks...
SNES Bowser Castle 3: THIS is a remake. Taking boring SNES track number 14 and making it an elevated, exciting thrill ride was one of the reasons Tour's retros ALL deserve to be preserved (which makes it a shame that 47 of them are stuck on phones), and the Anti-Gravity is a great part of this track. Nothing can top these three tracks.
Wii Rainbow Road: I spoke too soon. This is an AMAZING remake. After the last wave butchered two of its retros by either removing their gimmick or making them too cramped, this wave gives us two good remakes, and three back to back improvements. Wii Rainbow Road may be a bit easier in this game, even on 200CC, but that's not a bad thing as the challenge is still here by being the perfect length: narrow, but not too narrow. Also, making it three laps was the perfect way to show how far these developers have came. Form making remakes that forget the point of the original, to remakes that are undoubtedly better than the original. I don't even need to continue my reasoning as you all know why this is great.
ITS THE BLUE SHELL CUP
This>Wave 3 imo
Spanish viewer here, Madrid drive sucks for more thab half the race, would rank it 7 of this wave with rome as 6. Best city track still Athens
Honestly if you told someone 2 years ago that we would have 5 Rainbow roads in one MK game they wouldn’t believe you, but i’m so glad it happened!
I just wish Wii Rainbow Road didn’t have the tile pattern for the road, if it had something more akin to 3DS’s RR remake, it would be a genuinely perfect track to me
I also felt kind of disappointed with DK mountain. I grew up playing double dash and I loooved DK mountain so much, it was really hard for me.
I just don't like how wide it is now, in DD it felt squished together and the chances of getting hit by the boulders were better.
But overall I'm still glad it's back, just miss the squished feeling
at this point I am unsure if I want a new DLC or a new game. the thought of having all favourite courses mainly from ds and Wii in one game is a dream. dry dry ruins, airship and Delfino are three tracks still on my Wishlist.
No ones gonna talk about Madrids music? It slaps 🎧🎶🎶
Madrid Drive's music is definitely one of my favourites from the Booster Course Pass! I love how climactic it is!
Not upbeat like Berlin Byways, Singapore Speedway, Vancouver Velocity, and best of all (imo) Los Angeles Laps, but I do love the use of spanish guitar. Madrid’s music is great for something else.
Here's my ranking :
8. Rome Avanti
7. Daisy Circuit
6. Piranha Plant Cove
5. Rosalina's Ice World
4. DK Mountain
3. Madrid Drive
2. Bowser Castle 3
1. Rainbow Road
What a crazy adventure we had with the booster course pass, im not disappointed at all! Best dlc ever!
wave 6 sucks
My ranking:
#1 Wii Rainbow Road - Best rainbow road, the perfect way to end the booster pass, the track is AMAZING from start to finish.
#2 GCN DK Mountain - Im glad to see my favorite double dash course make a come back, and oh boy! The mountain looks more menacing and epic. Track is great as always and im glad they still kept the gap cup, and its always fun to perform it.
#3 SNES Bowser Castle 3 - They went real hard with a SNES remake, im glad nintendo made an actual good SNES course, the track looks and is epic, very cool, just how an SNES remake should look like.
#4 Wii Daisy Circuit - Track is beautiful, one of my favorite circuit tracks made its way to the DLC, I think adding a glider ramp to the stairs shortcut was a smart move, great track!
#5 Tour Pirahna Plant Cove - As someone who never played Tour, Pirahna Plant Cove is a good track! This track has one of the most beautiful visuals of all the DLC, underwater tracks are not my thing, but this track is decently good with a lot of the tricks you can do!
#6 Tour Madrid Drive - This is a great way to put a final city course to the DLC, great music, and having wigglers in Madrid even though I didnt remember seeing them in Madrid is pretty cool, and driving through the art muesum and football stadium creates for a decent city course.
#7 Tour Rome Avanti - Rome is a great city! Im glad to see two Tour tracks in this wave of real life locations ive been to, Rome Avanti is one of the prettiest city tracks ive seen in this DLC, altough the track could feel like most city tracks at times, altough decent track!
#8 Rosalina's Ice World - Ive never been a huge fan of Rosalina's Ice World, is not a bad track by any mean, but I think MK7 had some tracks that couldve surprised us even more like Maka Wuhu, or Wario's Shipyard would've been a great shocker for us, but no, instead we get this track. Rosalina's Ice World is alright, it is slightly better than Ice Ice Outpost, even if I think the 8 version is better than the MK7 version of the track I still think its alright here. They added some halfpipes beffore entering underwater or in the slippery ice which is an unexpected change, and they even added a shortcut. Like I said, I think this remake is alright.
Mario Party Superstars deserves this same treatment
YES
I didn’t even start the video and I knew you were putting DK Mountain near the bottom.

"The weakest [Spiny Cup] course was, *unsurprisingly,* Bowser Castle 3"
Speak for yourself, it and Wiinbow Road were the highlights of the wave for me lol
Same. I genuinely thought when there were still leaks going around, most saying there’s an snes track coming and it was placed in the acorn cup in certain leaks, that we’d get screwed over and get a Vanilla lake or a flat version of a Bowser’s castle but then suddenly nintendo showed what it actually would be like and seeing it in antigravity and watching them go over the wall section actually made me excited.
im kinda surprised you didnt mention the various parts in rome where you crossover where further behind drivers are. the sections arent the biggest; but it feels more subtantial than other city tracks with that and is the one thing thats stood out to me most while watching videos of it
Oh yeah, I didn't even think of that! I think it's pretty neat, definitely handled better than with for other City courses!
based ice world and madrid enjoyer
albert boris 🤝 dan-cpu
Me not knowing there is the meteor animation because I never fall off
I might as well give my list
8: Rosalina’s Ice World: it was quite fun just definitely not my favourite, it’s nothing that special.
7. Rome Avanti: It was also pretty fun, but I couldn’t care less.
6. Madrid Drive: Pretty Epic, that’s all I need to say
5. Piranha plant cove: if this was a city track, it would be my favourite
4. Daisy Circuit: I loved this, it was very cool.
3. DK Mountain: I really like mountains, and also the shortcut is very epic.
2. Rainbow Road: I’m surprised by how low this is
1. Bowser Castle 3: it plays amazingly and is probably my favourite looking track in the game
@@TheOnlyEugene hi big bro, how are you
Here is my ranking 8th is Daisy Circuit, 7th is Rome Avanti, 6th is Rosalina's ice world, 5th is Piranha Plant Cove , 4th is Madrid Drive, 3rd is DK Mountain, 2nd is Wii Rainbow Road, 1st is SNES Bowser Castle 3
Still pronouncing Spiny as Spinny, Albert? 🙄
That said, I definitely appreciate that you are a fan of Rosalina’s Ice World, it’s a truly special track that does not deserve to be overlooked or considered bad.
@@nintendofan6499 Wasn’t there another video where he was told to pronounce it as spiny?
@@GatorOne-in7hkyeah but he doesnt care lol
@@CEOofAustralia Yeah just like he can’t let go of Deep Moray Trench.
@@nintendofan6499 Okay calm down, I wasn’t trying to be hurtful.
Everyone keeps saying Wii rainbow road is challenging... What exactly is challenging about it lol? It's easier than 3ds rainbow road. That doesn't mean I dislike it, as I think it's a fantastic course to end the dlc, I just dont think it's difficult and want input as to what exactly makes it challenging.
How exactly is Wii Rainbow Road easier than 3DS Rainbow Road?
Yes they nerfed the difficulty in Wii Rainbow Road but the same nerf applied for every retro track chosen in the DLC.
@@CrisWas_Taken I haven't come across a single difficult turn or angle on the track.
@@georgecheliotis418 Being good at the game I guess it's mostly why; fair enough.
I said that question based off a casual setting. I took a guess thinking you were 1 of them, my fault in advance
@@georgecheliotis418MK8DX is already easy by default. It becomes harder in 200cc.

Heck yeah dude! I was waiting for this!!! Great ranking!
Bro was yapping a lot
I mean it’s their opinion so
Bro put Rosalina’s Ice World in #3 I’m gonna strangle this mf
Chill
Don't understand the hate Rosalina's Ice World is getting. Its a very underrated 3DS track and a really good one. No its not good enough to be top 8 in MK7 hell top 15 in 8DX but dios mio ya needa cut off the slander especially when this track got a Very Beautiful upgrade from 7 & Tour
It’s their opinion so..
I feel like if they made the roads thinner in DK Mountain, it could have been A LOT better.
I was thinking about how it should be thinner to similar to its original GCN incarnation but I get why they didn’t mainly because it would’ve been a lot harder and jankier on 200CC with 11 other players. The track plays fine on both 150 and 200 which I’m super happy about unlike some others which I definitely think are too over-scaled.
Next up in 2025 Mario Kart X!
Still sad we’re not getting Dino Dino Jungle
