Lets be honest. We just wanna see who ends up behind waluigi pinball
Yeah, your. Not wrong
Hot take: waluigi pinball is not the best track in the game. Top 3 for sure, but I find most of the track taking place on the ball rollers to be rather uninteresting. tick tock clock and airship fortress are just barely better in my opinion
based@@youknowwhaaat329
@@youknowwhaaat329Put Delfino Square amongst them too
It's a "You know Spider-verse will be first" situation
That Patrick comment.. wow. He would've loved it. Like it takes a lot for you to continue this channel and it's inspiring as fuck.
straight up
legitimately made me tear up, man. All respect to Schaff
what exactly happened?
@@shelbybunny Schaffrillas, Patrick, and Chris were all involved in a very bad car accident a while ago. Chris and Patrick unfortunately passed away as a result, with Schaff being in critical condition for a while.
The fact that he's been able to continue making UA-cam videos is, in my opinion, nothing short of inspirational.
What happened to him?
When I was a kid, I used to play DS’s special cup repeatedly and pretended like it was a movie. I imagined the tracks as the acts of an action film. In my mind:
Wario Stadium was the prologue and main character’s introduction.
Peach Gardens was the middle where the main character meets his significant other.
Bowser’s Castle was the climax and intense action scene where the main character saves his girl.
Rainbow Road was the ending where the two characters get married.
Good times!
Huh, and what about the other cups?
@@megatoonEJE The special cup was the only one I could imagine a movie for.
That’s hilariously amazing XD I did random storylines like that as a kid but with playing Mario Party Wii minigames
@@Superkid33Sounds more fitting.
thats so creative i love it! my brother and i would usually just dick around and drive through the courses the wrong way until time ran out
Finally. I'm glad to see someone giving my favorite track, Boston Building, some much deserved love.
An all-time classic
where is there a track named boston building in the game?

patrick was right, figure 8 circuit is a fascinating under appreciated masterpiece
I still miss him

Hope you’re holding up well Shaf, I’m glad you’re continuing this series : ) I’m sure Patrick is happy you’re finishing his work
Bruh stfu hes said many times to let him deal with that himself.
i feel like schaff is hyperfixated on mariokart rn and is just making videos gushing about all of the tracks. and im loving it

Yeah, I feel so bad for what happened to him.
@@endstoneninja3845what happened to him?
@@clauxzagaEarlier this year James' (the person you hear in the video) best friend Chris and brother Patrick were both killed in a car accident, where James was also left in critical condition
@@Geoooooooooo oh my, thats so sad :(
One of the most horrifying moments of my life was looking through old DS games and finding a cartridge for Mario Kart DS... even though I never owned it growing up. I have no idea where it came from or when I got it, but I just had it, apparently.
Great job, Nintnedo, this game was so well sold that even people who owned it never knew they owned it
That happen to me with double dash
Dude I just found a random DS in my house. It had all those games with it and I just played it and that DS broke and then I found another one…
Somebody help I think I’m being haunted
The same happened to me with new Super Mario Bros (ds one)
Creepy pasta sounding ass copy of some vengeful ghost possessing Mario Kary GBA 😆
@@Cyburim This really does sound like the start of some horrible creepypasta LMAO
9:14 I’m so used to you using still images of Tamatoa that when you show an animated clip with original audio from the movie I get major whiplash
So many good tracks in Mario Kart DS. Airship Fortress, Luigi's Mansion, Bowser's Castle, Tick Tock Clock, Delfino Square, Peach Gardens, and Waluigi Pinball are such classics. I feel like DS really got the short end of the stick in the Booster Course Pass with so many amazing tracks not making the cut.
oh my god i know, so mang good tracks got left out of the dlc
Too bad, it has so many utterly trash tracks, like not even the original courses are immune to it. Like, Figure 8 just makes my insides wither
7 is a fine number to go with if we are including DS tracks from both the base game and Booster Course Pass. I would love to see Luigi’s Mansion and Airship Fortress. However, I’d rather have them replace Waluigi Pinball and Peach Gardens as DS Mario Circuit is unironically one of the best tracks the BCP has to offer. Shroom Ridge also fits Deluxe well as the game emphasizes building mini turbos and Ridge has a lot of turns. It along with Berlin are the only 2 good traffic courses Deluxe has to offer.
Yeah because Sintendo sucks.
Can't believe they did Boston Building dirty like that
I love how Schaff's intrusive thoughts exist as YTP edits

My theory with DK Pass is that it actually takes place on Gorilla Glacier from Donkey Kong Country. It’s a snowy region in the mountains of DK Island so the snowy aesthetic makes sense
I always had that ideas as well. Heck I thought the same with DK Summit
i like this Theory it's so good
You know what
You have a point
As a defender of Yoshi Falls, I just enjoy cutting through waterfalls and love the music. It’s so chill and jungle-like that it sounds like Donkey Kong
I agree the music is so cool ! 😄
@EvannMusics Honestly I liked it in MK:WII because it's just a good vibing track
@@dannybrine8718 Yes !
I also love the orange/blue color scheme. It’s very pleasing to the eyes.
@termaatje1068 Honestly, when there's not a bunch of idjits ripping up the road, it seems like a baller place to vacation
Figure 8 circuit went crazy on mulitplayer because it was a test of whose thumbs could last the longest while snaking and it was INSANE
Half my friends had busted L and R buttons from this fucking game lmfao snaking went CRAZY
@@givemeyourgarbage7980 Yuuup mine are still busted, gave me an excuse to stop playing :)
It’s literally the only reason this track would be considered A-tier in my mind. It’s a true test of unadulterated skill
yea bros ranking every track without snaking like 😭😭😭
@@habooga2191because snaking is not legitimate, Figure 8 is still garbage
Schaff I need you to know that the transition edit at 15:41 absolutely sends me into space every time and it has now become a verbal stim for me😭
it truly goes hard lol
Moo moo
11:34 James straight up ignoring the fact that Mario Kart 8 made a new Yoshi track just so his statements aren’t outdated is the most hilarious shit I’ve ever seen. XD
It's not.
It’s not outdated, but I do think Tony Soprano Island should have been a Yoshi course.
Fell off my chair in laughter 😂😂😂
Schaffrillas doesn't want to admit he's wrong, so he used Tony Soprano as a scapegoat.
@@TheNunchuckChampion lmao
For some reason, Schaff’s obsession with Tony Soprano being a playable Mario Kart racer is, like, the funniest thing to me
Only in Mario Kart Super Circuit though SMH
It’s no longer funny.

15:42 I’ve been cracking up at this for like 15 minutes help
Oh man, I loved Delfino Plaza so much, those shortcuts were so much fun!
Thank you for all the nostalgia, Schaff!
As someone who grew up with this game and only recently got three stars in each cup on each CC, I’m glad to see Choco Island 2 at number 32.
So it wasn't only kid me who had problems with this course
It is indeed *pooooo*
The Mount Rushmore of hailed DS tracks are Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, Luigi's Mansion and Delfino Square.
ummm... tick tock clock?
What about Tick Tock Clock
I feel like not enough people talk about Bowser's Castle. That log section is super fun, and it's a nice throwback to Super Mario 64.
Switch out delfino square for tick tock clock
Tick Tock Clock is better than both Waluigi Pinball and Luigi’s Mansion. I honestly don’t understand why Luigi’s Mansion is so loved when you only drive in the mansion at the beginning and then just the forest for majority.
Glad to see Schaffirillas is back on his grind. Slowed down, then literally just unstoppable.
7:33 I came here for Mario Kart DS nostalgia, ended up nearly crying over this little homage to Patrick. :'(
Speaking as someone who grew up with this game and has a lot of fond memories tied to it, to say this ranking has been a long time coming would be an understatement.
The nostalgia ❤️
IVE BEEN WAITING TOOO 😊i’m excited to watch lol
If they ever bring back Figure 8 Circuit, I had the idea of adding stage hazards. Like having the Fake Item Boxes return, traveling along the course.
Then on lap 2, the track turns stormy and the Thunder Cloud item returns, moving around before stopping to strike lightning down similar to the Thwomps in N64 Bowser’s Castle.
Then on lap 3, the Fake Item Boxes get replaced with the Bob-Omb cars.
All the while there boost panels on the path of these hazards, making players decide if they want to risk it or they want to play safe
I had this idea of it being part of a hypothetical Poison Cup which takes bad courses and makes them more tolerable. Other courses would include
* Vanilla Lake 2 - Reduces the amount of ice blocks while introducing Ice Ramps which break upon tricking off them. Halfway into the race, the course goes underwater. Same layout except you dodge penguins and Torpedo teds.
* N64 Wario Stadium - Is now a stadium themed around Wario’s Castle from Super Mario Land 2 complete with all of the hazards there making an appearance as to give players something to do other than drive. Comes with a dark reprise of Mario Kart 64’s Raceway theme that incorporates motifs from Wario’s Castle and boss fight
* GBA Cheese Land - While a loved course, the unpopular change to a desert is replaced with the original’s space theming. Alternatively a mix of both aesthetics is done.
* Cheese Land is now a planetoid in a cheese themed galaxy.
* The other idea would be to make it an artificial environment in a colony on the moon, complete with seeing the surface of the moon along with space while racing.
Other than that I headcannon that DK Pass and DK Summit take place in Gorilla Glacier from DKC
@@nolstremer1910What the fuck does that have to do with my comment?
That would be amazing, like why the fuck did they do nothing with this first track
figure 8 deserved better as a first track
I don’t mind cheese land as a desert, I just like the cheese theme
@misterzygarde6431 Bro wrote a whole ass essay and thinks we gonna read it
One of my favorite things to do on DS Rainbow Road is place an item on the first loop and if you do so successfully, the target could get pulled up into the center and be sent back
That's genius lmao
Bowsers Castle with the music and the grates sounding like a drum solo every time is perfect
Yeah Bowsers Castle is great and the Music to
Yes! Shroom Ridge finally gets the respect it deserves! I usually see people say it's one of the most forgettable tracks in all of Mario Kart, but I've always found it incredibly pleasant to race on, and I also get a lot of enjoyment snaking on this track. Racing through it and dodging all the traffic while snaking non-stop is a lot of fun
Yes and the music is really cool !
Same
I really love that it is in the booster course pass
Honestly best track of wave 1
Fu*k yeah
It really is just a solid, fun track with a great piece of music backing it up. I was so happy it made it into the booster course pass.
e: saying that, it's kinda funny how this has gone:
Schafrillas: gives Shroom Ridge a solid B+, says nice things about it
Shroom Ridge fans: finally the respect this course deserves
Honestly, I remember playing this as a kid and still now. Waluigi's pinball has always have a place in my heart.
I have no Idea why but I read "place" as "pickle"
I cannot get over the "IT'S NOTHING" part for Figure-8 Circuit. It's peak comedy 🤣 6:24
I’ve been watching this channel for a few years and it’ll always be my favorite. I love his sense of humor and that a whole channel could be dedicated to so many of the weird niche interests and communities I’m involved with. The dedication to keep at it throughout this year is really inspiring honestly, I have a lot of respect for Schaff.
When he said “good luck with that asshole” I thought he was referring to Patrick instead of the fans and I literally grabbed my heart and gasped in shock for like thirty seconds. Ok yes the fans are assholes. Patrick was not. The whole section hit me right in the feels. RIP Patrick. You are remembered fondly and still loved.
Oh holy shit im glad i saw this comment cause i thought the same thing. I went from being like “awwe thats sweet” to “umm that seems in extremely poor taste…” lol
THANK GOD I found this comment, I thought the same thing. That was a close one, holy hell.
I thought the same😭
I don’t know, something about him calling his brother an asshole from beyond the grave is weirdly kinda endearing? Like, even though he’s gone, it’s some kind of playful sibling bickering that feels like things were the same that they were in life and after it. I might just be weird thinking that though (and definitely not phrasing this well lol)
@@one-onessadhalf3393 yeah, it was more so the “what are you gonna do about it?” part that threw me off lol
Looking forward to the addition of Boston Building in the final wave of the Booster Course Pass.
Fun Fact: When they brought back the battle course version of Luigi’s Mansion for 8DX, they made a new version of the song from this game’s Luigi’s Mansion for the battle course. 😁
Instead of GCN Bowser Castle 💀
DS Rainbow road has been slept on for so long! Always been special to me, even after 7's. That looptyloop went so hard as a kindergartener.
16:50 the clip ending right before the red shell hits honestly got a good laugh out of me.

Baby park ranking above the bottom 5 is unfathomable let’s be honest
I think you made a mistake. #9 is Boston Building
Bro forgot Boston building
Zoo wee mama!
🙏 Thank you
33:05 I should open up my ds again just to play boston building again. I love that course
"you're at significant risk of slowing down sufficiency due to this *icky, mud-like goop* "
I see what you did there
Is that a motherclucking Sunshine reference?!!
I think so 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I’d like to thank this game for inspiring so many Lego videos on early UA-cam, they were my introduction to the entire site. Heck, I made one too! I’ve still got the Lego Banshee and Dry Bones with me… somewhere!
Those videos are why I picked up the game for OG DS in the first place, and it was such a lovely experience. 3-Stars on every mission, immense nostalgia for every single cup. I remember playing Shroom Ridge inside a flea market sweater rack when I was 10 or so and it will never leave my brain.
Boston Building almost moved me to tears with laughter. Genuinely have not laughed like that from a video ever, incredible work subconscious Schaff. I can’t wait until the Mario Kart 7 video where I can pretend to not know what Boston Building is to farm Zoo-Wee-Mamas
12:50 The unexpected Arin Hanson “what is this bs” caught me so off guard I almost spit out the food I was eating lmao
"5 laps? Why not 7? Geez, what were they thinking?" 😂😂😂
Genuinely I love figure 8 circuit. By no means is it creative or interesting, but I remember some incredibly tough races and super close endings on that course, both with friends and CPUs. I think it's because the track is a good width and well lit enough to aim items while giving you space to avoid them, especially after the final turn with the finish line right in view, where I've made and been hit by several clutch snipes
It definitely has some nostalgic value.
This was my first Mario Kart game, and the Bowser Castle course still remains as one of my favourite levels of all time!
I remember being the only kid in my classroom with a DS (and one of the only ones with a portable console) and all my classmates literally begged for me to let them play atleast a single course. MKDS literally boosted my social ranking during middle/high school since I was a pretty shy kid/teen.
iirc, yoshi falls is so well loved because it was one of the only 8 tracks you could play on local multi-player. for many who only got to play through the multi-player, it was well remembered
I remember my uncle gave me his copy of this game when I was a kid. As I was playing through the grand prixs, I got to Waluigi Pinball and was absolutely amazed by it. I'd play versus mode so I could play the track over and over again, and to this day, Waluigi Pinball still remains my favorite course in all of mario kart.
I’ve been OBSESSED with this game lately and I’ve been anticipating this video for a month or two now. You’ve done well, Crab Man.
2:02 I love the fact that after this game, all the handheld Mariokart games were red, and all the console ones were blue, and 8 deluxe is both cause it’s on the switch! It’s a really nice touch.
lets be honest: funky kong racing at waluigi pinball in mk8 deluxe is something we will all do when wave 6 happens
Best character in the best game on the best track? WOOOOOO!
Schafrillas: there's no tricks in the DS or Wii version of Peach Gardens.
*Peach Gardens on Wii having ramps added in the off-road before the last 2 turns* : 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
fr bruu
I just want to say that I really love how much thought and effort your put into these course ranking videos. You inject so much humor and life into them and they're just overall really good vids.
where pikmin 4 tho
Figure 8 circuit fans rise up✊
time to rise up

Sit down
Wow. They really do exist

@@SevenThirteen not yes, only when someone asks why in the MK7 video
This I can confidently say is MY Mario kart game. It was probably my favourite game on the DS I remember as a toddler playing it for hours while my family watched tv. I didn’t even care about winning races all that mattered was driving through the gorgeous level design as whatever wacky characters I loved the most
(I was a bowser main)
And seeing you discuss your thoughts on each track as I look at it again after so many years just gave me a huge nostalgia blast
Shcafrillis, I beg, I need to see your take on over the garden wall immediately.
The secret item box on dk pass can give stars and red shells as well as mushrooms, all regardless of placement. Stars in 1st are great
Fun fact about ds battle mode. If you lose in multiplayer, you become a ghost that has the ability to drop item boxes. Useful if you want to rig a match in the direction you want or troll people by keeping it behind you to start a looney tunes moment.
Yeah the thing about DS is that that track roster is a list of extremes. Just over a quarter of the tracks are top tier and the rest either just exist or are super lame in the case of most of the retro courses. There's not much in the middle. Can't say it's my favorite selection because of that despite some of the highlights.
DS has a bunch of solid tracks for its nitros such as Mario Circuit, Peach Gardens, Airship Fortress, and Luigi’s Mansion. Then you look at the retro side. The lightning cup is filled with mostly good tracks, but everything else average at best.
Loved the shoutout to Patrick, that was simultaneously really sweet and really petty😂 God bless❤

Been waiting for the next installment in this series. Schaffrillas always delivers.
33:23 good soliders follow orders.
I forgot he did this and I was wondering why you named it that.
On it boss
God even the design of waluigi pinball is amazing. Very beautifully colored and the lights are so cool. And being able to see the pinballs coming up on the side of the track is so cool.
32:54 I had a dream like that too where they announced Fighters Pass Vol. 3 for smash ultimate and hat kid from a hat in time was added. Wish it was real
Like DK Pass, I think more courses should have one hard-to-reach item box that always gives you something good like a star or triple mushroom, regardless of your place in the race. I know exploration in a racing game sounds odd and hard to pull off, but things like this could make it interesting and worthwhile.
Yeah, just look at Diddy Kong Racing.
I think the only thing missing from this ranking is praise for the Waluigi Pinball theme. Both this game’s version, and the *phenomenal* Brawl remix. Like, holy shit, why is that remix such a banger?
went into this vid knowing I had played some mariokart DS back in the day, but the way I remembered it, I picked it up maybe once or twice and then forgot about it. but when you hit the battle mode section....oh my god. an absolute flood of memories playing this battle mode. and then the rest of the courses, the nitro courses!! it all came back to me so viscerally. i didn't have my own copy of this game, but I borrowed a family member's whenever I had visitation weekends with my dad. i even sat down for this vid already thinking of those weekends because of a song I heard on my way home, and now this. and just by coincidence, it's my dad's birthday today :)
Technically, Crash Nitro Kart predates Mario Kart's first attempt at anti-gravity tracks by 2 years.
I played Mario Kart DS all the time with my older brother. I’d be a Shy Guy cause I wasn’t the cartridge holder. But for some reason my brother only ever wanted to play the Luigi’s Mansion course (idk if that’s cause of personal preference or forced restrictions since I didn’t have the game) so other than the battle modes I don’t recognize most of the courses bedsides two or three more.
Bonus story, there was some weird incident where my brother left his DS with Mario kart in the car, and when he came back his save data was wiped. He had went through the effort of unlocking ROB so he was pretty upset. I happened to be sitting beside him in the car that day so he immediately accused me of deleting his save. And istg, no one had touched his DS during then so to this day I have no fucking clue how that managed to happen. But anyways, he already convinced himself I was the culprit, so he decided to take revenge on me by deleting my save files in Pokémon Pearl and New Super Mario Bros. Which, wasn’t that great. Opened the games up one day and all my progress was gone. I have no idea if he even recalls any of this cause it was like over a decade ago. I just happen to remember cause of how bizarre and unfair it felt.
Wow, that was a rollercoaster to read, but it sounds more like his game might've not shutdown properly and just had a moment and deleted everything (for some godforsaken reason) but him *completely* resetting 2 games out of sheer pettiness would've made me homicidial. I spent years completing my Diamond.
Probably the heat from the car
@@WLOVER57 Actually, that might be the case since my DS (and phone) have shutdown from excess heat. If the DS was in standby and had MKDS open when it burned out, it could have 'corrupted' the file and formatted everything which does suck
would kill for less than that
11:58 Im still praying that R.O.B. makes the roster, he's such an underrated driver
I want funky Kong back cause I lost my Wii progress😢
@V1B1NHYP3R I respect that, I too think funky is a blessing
Not a bad ranking, personally I would put Delfino Square at #1 but I'm probably in the minority there. Either way, as someone who plays this game competitively I think I lot of criticisms would be changed if not completely removed once this game is played at a higher level. Some of the more simplistic tracks suddenly have much more depth, and the complex tracks can really thrive as you weave around them. Choco Island 2 is still terrible though, you were right on that one.
Sup Mikey. I guess the community found this vid, as well
I think these are the best ranking videos out there, there just so casual and chill! Thanks for continuing to make these :D
This game’s courses are undoubtedly memorable
6:45 Surprised you didnt mention how the way they altered the course in Smash was barebones, yet it makes it infinitely cooler than the original track
The Wiggler Bus is on the track in one of the missions. Arguably my favorite mission in the game honestly.
40:09 Just imagine if they add Airship Fortress to the Booster Course Pass after all despite the whole ID thing and they throw in that skeleton with the Super Saiyan sound!😂 That would be the moment of all time!
I think a good anti gravity section would've had potential in the tower part for the bcp
The editing in this one feels a bit more coked up than usual. I love it.
I don't know if it's just the rampant nastolgia but I love figure 8 circuit
It has such a distinct vibe from other starter courses that I can't quite place
Me too, maybe it's the public and figure of 8 accompanied with the culture and perspective of time on that years.
Schaff should use “mine, mine, mine” for Wario’s gold mine so Pocahontas has a reason to exist.
16:17 Just wanna say I love this mashup 🤣
Dry Bones in the tank car with constant drift boosts was the only way I could beat 150cc back in the day. Arguably the greatest Mario Kart ever.
Dry Bones is better than Koopa
Dry bones with the tank was easily the best selection in the game
i hope some day, patrick gets his wish
Wait... wouldn't it make more sense to be Brooklyn Building since that's where Mario and Luigi live in the movie?
Although I suppose they already have a course in New York, so that would be redundant.
15:42 I like this transition a lot more than I probably should
Schaffrillas is one of like three guys I'll watch every video for even if I have zero interest in the topic.
He’s kinda like Scott, dude could talk about anything and I’d be in.
And Razbuten as well!
@@Esmrue My other two are Cosmonaut and Skillup
That’s like ColeyDoesThings for me lol
Mario Kart DS gives me so much nostalgia... and so much carpal tunnel...
Not reading your comment but I posted a Hilarious video of a woman crying about her dog being put down because I make better content 😂 😅
I'm on like my 5th rewatch of this video and still laughing my ass off. The comedic timing in both the voiceover/writing and editing is peak. Big props to everyone who worked on it :D
Once again, Schaffrillas delivers his usual brand of charming humour to his ranking lists.
I’m glad my favorite course was up so high. Tick Tock Clock is an easy masterpiece. I’ve always loved it.
For what it’s worth regarding the SNES tracks, I think they feel a lot better in their home game.
It’s a weird way to describe it, but after playing a bunch of 8 Deluxe and then trying out Super, SMK feels less like a “kart racer” and more like… well, actual go-karting. The levels are short, but you have five laps, and the karts control in a way that makes it relatively easy, even common, to drive into the rough.
And in that context, the SNES tracks really do shine. There’s nothing more “go-kart”-like than accidentally swerving off-road and having to swing the wheel around to get back on the track. On higher difficulties it’s probably infuriating, but on 50cc I had a nice time with it.
Great video as always Scaff! The section about Patrick and Figure 8 circuit was really sweet.
29:25 absolutely lethal snipe
Yoshi Falls is one I like because of how chill and pretty it is. A laid back course that I don’t need to think too hard about and can enjoy the graphics. Like a vacation, lol
