Reviewing EVERY Mario Circuit in Mario Kart | Level By Level
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- The Mario kart series has a few track themes that repeat multiple times over the course of the series. Two of the most popular are rainbow road and bowser's castle, but the track type with the most variations in the series would have to be Mario circuit. There have been 24 different renditions of this track across super Mario kart, Mario kart 64, Mario kart super circuit, Mario kart double dash, Mario kart ds, Mario kart Wii, Mario kart 7, and Mario kart 8 deluxe. So in this episode of level by level I’ll be reviewing every Mario circuit in the series and putting them into a tier list!

Shaff: “where does it rank among all the Mario Circuits? Don’t know, don’t care, I’m not doing a ranking of those”
Odyssey Central: “Fine. I’ll do it myself”
He was busy ranking every first course
@@autismandgaming4532 I kinda want him to drop a video of all the segments of his Mariokarrt video where he ranks the starter courses even though he wouldn’t make a video about it because “literally nobody would click on a video like that”, I think it would be a funny April fools day video for him
@@derekmatzek9551 he’s too busy making Tony Soprano icebergs for that
@@autismandgaming4532he was busy fighting four villains at once
@@PrunselClone Why didn't he SHOOT THEM WITH THE DEHYDRATION GUN?!
FUN FACT: 64's "raceway" tracks are only classified as raceways in all overseas versions of the game as they're still called circuits in the Japanese release.
Yep! I was just about to comment this.
0:06 YESSSSSSSSS!!! COOL BOWSER DACING TO ELECTRODOME IS BACK BABY!!!
I discovered cool Bowser thanks to Odyssey Centrale and showed it to my cousin because it was funny
Now evertime I see it, I send the video with the timecode to him
Sorry for the useless anecdote
I was exactly the same!!!
Erm actually 🤓 it’s “electrodrome” 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
I cant wait for when odyssey central releases “ranking every tree in every mario game”
“Ranking every tree in every video game”
Ranking Every plant in every game
“ranking every individual pixel in every piece of digital media”
I wish
Ranking every organelle in every cell in every tissue in every organ in every organ system in every organism in every population in every community in every ecosystem in every biosphere in every world in every galaxy in every universe in all of gaming
Odyssey trying not to include a cool bowser reference every 0.0000000000000000001 second (impossible)
Why are you black
he's too cool for school
😎
nah but i like them, they're...
*cool*
(low quality electrodome starts playing)
can you rank every april fools updates in minecraft
Yea
The 15th anniversary is near so it should be released on the anniversary if he can
That would be awesome
Interesting…
Thats actually a good idea
Odyssey Central in 2029:
"are you mad that i put the fourth coin of New Super Mario Bros 2-3 in 172309th place below coin seven in Super Mario 3D Land 4-1? let me know in the comments"
I am angry, i much prefer the coin of Super mario bros 1-1 coin 15
@@gamersixtytwo5436seriously? THAT one? there's opinions, and there's straight up being wrong. that coin is just an inferior version of super mario sunshine ricco harbor coin 7 and new super mario bros u level 6-2 coin 41
I prefer Coin 8 in Battle Fort from Super Mario 64 DS
2:56 “what do the other 3 Mario circuits have to offer?” Suffering.
Mario Circuit in 8 Deluxe is literally just Figure 8 Circuit's older and way cooler brother.
Great video!!
Don't you mean younger...
Younger but yeah, it's literally just Figure 8 Circuit but good
6:24 Okay the timing of this is awesome. You said that really flat joke and then the ad that showed up started out with the words "Are you okay?"
Dude I agree Mario Kart 8’s version is so underrated
My favorite part is the camera angles. It feels so satisfying to drift through it as the camera shows the scale of the track
Never ask:
A man his salary
A woman her age
And Odyssey how he felt about Mario Circuit DS getting into the Booster Course Pass
DS Mario Circuit deserved getting into MK8DX a million times beyond infinity
I think you mean SNES Mario Circuit 3
@@DepravedCoTApologist yeah that too but DS took Airship Fortress the absolute banger
Never asked me how I felt about Mario circuit DS replacing Airship Fortress Ender booster course pass.
I dont understand, was Airship Fortress planned for the DLC?
I genuinely love Mario Circuit 3 in MK8D because it’s just a fun go-kart track with some good turns, a fun racing line and not much in the way of gimmicks to shake up races. It’s one of the best RACING tracks for Mario Kart in my opinion - but I understand that isn’t necessarily what others look for in Mario Kart.
I dont get the hate for mario circuit 3, i think its a pretty good track, i love the retro feel to it
Tour RMX Mario Circuit 1 is basically a SNES Mario Circuit 5, it takes what the other SMCs did and combines them into a decent track. It even adds elevated areas to drive on and trick off of. Definitely a solid track.
7:54
As a game designer, I'm confident the classic tracks were tossed in at the end, and they didn't have time/space to include obstacles.
You see this sort of "bonus" content a lot in older games because the constantly-shifting hardware made predicting how much resources projects would take difficult. New optimization methods were constantly being discovered, leaving extra time/resources to try new things.
Basically, they finished making the base game ahead of schedule, and while they didn't have time to develop more content from the ground up, someone had the idea of squeezing the old SNES tracks in. (They loved putting SNES stuff onto the gameboy to show how advanced it was.)
Since it was bonus content being attempted more-so for the technical challenge than because the game NEEDED it, when it became clear they could either do ALL the tracks without obstacles or SOME of the tracks with obstacles, they opted for the version that would sound more impressive.
Fun fact Mario Circuit 3 was the first course coded into Super Mario Kart making it the very first Mario Kart track ever (I know how you may feel about it but it does provide some explanation for why it has appeared so much)
Now that you mention it, ranking all 284 (or so) tracks from across the Mario Kart series (Tour excluded *explosion*) could definitely be a nice subscriber special video, even if it would be obvious which track would reign supreme
Here's a video idea: ranking the main course types. Circuits, Bowser castles, rainbow roads, and so on.
He did every rainbow road already
Can’t wait for the day you make a video titled “Found my comment?”
@@davisvoelzke8011 not the individual courses.
Like desert is bottom unless the train course
unfortunately, he didn't mention Mario in this video
0:06 HELL YEAH COOL BOWSER!!!
I pretty much agree with your rankings overall, but I'm especially happy to see Wii U Mario Circuit get such a glowing ranking!
I grew up with DS and Wii when I was in elementary school, but MK8 is the game that has been in my life since graduating middle school. As such, I'd say its Mario Circuit is definitely most nostalgic for me (what with it being in a lot of the original game's marketing and it being a stage in Smash for Wii U).
It's not like an "objective S-tier" in the grand scheme of Mario Kart courses (especially when taking 8DX's already stacked course content into account), but I just think it's an incredibly fun track. I love holidng super long drifts (especially in 8DX), I think the Möbius strip layout is clever, the Piranha Plants can be legitimate obstacles if not careful, and the music is great.
I agree that it's the best Mario Circuit and I think it should really be talked about and respected more!
17:39 that block is here because if you look closely, its actually in the original game and acts as a shortcut
Watching this on an active road right now! Traffic’s high but the grind never stops 🔥
The guy in the blue tesla is going to get first, you need to beat him to the stop light.
@@AnAveragePurplePikmin Ah don’t worry we’re playing Renegade Roundup :)
DS Mario Circuit is not only my favorite Mario Circuit, it's also my favorite track in the entire series!
Wait really? Why?
That's a take
@@Fabian_TheProYT Yep, without a doubt
@@autismandgaming4532 No I'm fr not joking, DS Mario Circuit is my favorite track in the entire series
@@Thegamingwizard55 odd choice, but okay.
Fun fact: the reason the GBA Mario Circuit theme has a completely different melody in the MK8 version is because it's for some reason actually based on an old beta version of the song seen in a Mario Kart Advance promotion demo
La Versión Final Del BGM Ha Retomado En Mario Kart 9
Will your next video be reviewing all the Bowser Castles, now that you’ve reviewed Mario Circuit and Rainbow Road?
11:29 this part is also quite slick. Once you master drifting well it’ll be a breeze but i hit the piranha plants everytime when I was younger.
I missed this series so much
Fun fact: the original Japanese version of Mario Kart 64 called the raceway tracks circuits and was changed in the localization
12:43 I think the dry bones kart is a little bit sus with that picture on the front
"The Mario Circuit Track from Mario Kart Double Dash is An Underrated Masterpiece." 8:46
Amazing video as always! Also, I loved the chicanery reference!!
17:33 that jumping block is in the original too
I love how every Mario Kart video is leading up to when he’ll eventually Ranks the cups by what item is on them
3DS Mario Circuit is my favorite Mario Circuit. I like the aesthetic with the cherry blossoms, driving in Peach's Castle, the shortcuts, and the music is pretty good too.
I was drinking a dr pepper and then 12:50-12:55 came along
this might be the funniest clip odyssey has made and the dr pepper almost did not stay in my mouth
Tbh, the meme sprinklings're _juuuuust_ enough to not be annoying, which I find is smth other YTers find harrd to do.
Mario Raceway is actually called Mario circuit in Japanese.
13:36 i was NOT expecting a Better Call Saul refrence in a Mario video
Can't wait for the version in Mario kart 9 to be filled with small Mario and electisity. Because it's a MARIO SHORT CIRCUIT. HAW. HAW. HAW.
I love seeing appreciation for 8’s Mario Circuit. I generally hate on tracks that are shaped like figure-8s because they’re so overused (GCN Luigi Circuit, DS F8C, Wii Mario Circuit, Toad Circuit) but the use of antigravity making you do it twice in one lap is just so fun, and this is the track where I really feel the impact of antigravity the most.
Also it’s the MORBIUS STRIP GUYS
N64 Mario Racesay is probably my favorite, always chaotic, good lines are needed, but items can let you comeback, it’s not over until you cross the line but usually if you race well enough you do fine
I love seeing the level by level tierlist grow
I LOVE the meme sound effects please continue using them :)
Imma get controversial, DS Mario Circuit absolutely clears DS Airship Fortress.
Half the latter's layout is just a being as spiral, and the other half is straight track. The only good thing about the course is it's theme, but DS Mario Circuit has always been way more fun to actually drive on
Clearing the last shortcut shroomless on GBA Mario Circuit is so satisfying. With the glider you can actually land on top of the wall and ride on top of it too!
Great video! I don't know if you've ranked the Bowser's castles yet, but if you haven't, you should! I haven't played any but the ones in 8 myself so it would be great to learn more about them
Something you forgot to mention for 8’s Mario Circuit is that if you are in any kind of boost (even a mini turbo) in MK8DX, Piranha Plants actually can’t bite you. So it’s an interesting piece of tech to take the turns tighter if you release your mini turbo right before you get to the plant.
About that part about the weird bump in mario circut 2 mk7, that's been there since SUPER mario kart, and (as the only fan of that game I can officially say) that it was always there to begin with. It's the normal jump block from that game,not to be confused with the brown one, and in mario kart 7 it's got the craziest tas out of the mario kart 7 tracks.
Everyone looks at the circuits , bowsers castles and Rainbow roads as the tracks that always are in the game but the snow tracks are usually underlooked and they always have been there too and i think they could be a cool idea for a review video
(Also nerd moment but mario circuit's 2 bumper is also in snes and gba)
hate to sound generic but it's a good day when Odyssey Central uploads a mario kart video!
Huh, just earlier I was literally thinking about what the best Mario Circuit is. Now I don't even need to decide for myself!
I can't wait for the Bowser's Castle ranking.
19:30 my fav part breaking sign that may cost over 1000 dollars lol
My three favourite Mario circuits are probably GCN Mario Circuit, SNES Mario Circuit 4 and Wii Mario Circuit.
The GCN one feels authentically Mario and is quite enjoyable, the SNES one is a fair challenge (that has somehow never been remade), and the Wii one is both nostalgic and also true to the feeling of Mario (and I like MKWii's aesthetic).
Mario and Luigi Circuits seems to have a lot of references from real life European Circuit. The very first Mario Circuit looks like Henggroning to me, and it seems to be proved with some of its remake and new version in newer games looks like incorporated more features from this track.
The Luigi Circuit have a lot of early Italian track references, and the Luigi Circuit in Mario Kart Wii is just basically the current layout of Autodromo Nazionale Monza without chicanes.
I would love to see a ranking of each character's selected tracks against each other. For example Mario in F tier because he only has circuits and raceways and maybe Bowser in A tier because of how sick Bowser's castles are
Don’t forget about how many Donut Plains there are
I like to call it “Mario Kart: Möbius Strip” to confuse people lol
6 seconds in and i know this mf boutta talk shit on my sweet baby SNES Mario Circuit
I like the Among Us art on your kart in DS, good job 👌😌
Mario Circuit definitely takes the cake in my book
Amazing video as always
Odyssey's back hurts from carrying youtube so hard
Can you even do the same thing but for the spooky, ghost courses?
SNES Ghost Valley 1, 2, 3: SNES, GBA, Wii
N64 Banshee Boardwalk: N64, DS
GBA Boo Lake+Broken Pier: GBA, 8DX BCP W3(BL)
GCN: ???
DS: ???
Etc
Awesome, now rank every Luigi Circuit
This reminds me of playing Mario Kart with my dad today. He hated all the tracks because he lost everytime 💀💀💀
im gonna wait for odyssey to rank all the smash victory screens
Hi Odyssey! I have a couple ranking ideas for you! Could you rank either every boss in Tears of the Kingdom or every fusable material in Tears of the Kingdom? I realize the second idea may be kinda crazy, but the boss ranking would be super cool!
Mario Circuit 2 from the Super Nintendo is my all time favorite Mario Circuit, as well as my all time favorite Super Nintendo track! I wish they brought that track back in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!
For me, mk8's is the best Mario circuit. Not only does it take full advantage of the game's main gimmick, but it also gives the track a new arrangement while keeping the melody of mk stadium (every game before would have 2 or 3 circuit themed tracks with the game music
Odyssey should rank all of the "spooky" tracks in mariokart as a halloween special.
"spooky" tracks are as follows
- SNES Ghost valley 1 and 2
- N64 Banshee Boardwalk
- GBA Boo lake
- GBA Broken Pier
- DS Luigi's mansion
- N64 Banshee Boardwalk (DS Remake)
- SNES Ghost valley 2 (Wii Remake)
- 3DS Wario's Shipyard (Wario's Galleon)
- DS Luidi's mansion (3DS remake)
- WiiU Twisted mansion
- GBA Boo lake (BCP wave 3 remake)
No way he took my suggestion
7:40 *Scott The Woz wants to know your location*
From the thumbnail i thought it was a reupload of the Rainbow Road video until i saw the title haha
I cn already see the 300K Special where he ranks All tracks, remakes etc from every game. Including arcade and Tour versions
hey the jumping pad pad inside of SNES mario circuit 2 from 7 was in the original, it was just harder to use.
17:33 The jump pad is there because it's in the original course as well.
Kenny James, the current VA for Bowser, did a live stream on Instagram the other day. He has a Bowser plush, with sunglasses, that he described as “looking pretty cool.”
21:40
Erm, actually, Mario Circuit 4 wasn't in tour, so it couldn't have come back either way.
DS Mario circuit is the best one by far (I am heavily nostalgia biased)
For the wiggler actually wakes up at 90 seconds and not on the third lap (Ik this is an "Erm Actually" and idc"

My favorite is GBA Mario Circuit in Mario Kart 8. I would cover the Arcade Games so, Mario Highway and Mario Beach in B Tier, and the MKAGP Deluxe tracks in A-Tier.
16:39 "So yeah, I think it's pretty clear why this is a fan-favourite."
Uh... no? Very no? Definitely not yes? Absolutely no? The glider section feels forced, the layout is boring, and the only thing I can agree with you on is "it's pretty," which is the absolute _last_ thing on my list when it comes to ranking... well, anything really, unless the point is to decide how pretty it is. Wii's GCN MC remake is infinitely better, can't bother to watch further.
Never understood why everyone in high school sucked MK7's MC off so much, and I never will.
Stop yapping

@@Mr_Mistake19 That you don't know speaks volumes.
The thing about the jokes in your videos that set them apart from videos with similar joke styles is how your reoccuring jokes start to feel like comfort food. I can always feel solace in the facts that I will most likely hear a metal pipe falling, see FNAF imagery, and experience a reference to Dry Bones in your videos.
Also I appreciate the transition to Mario Kart 8 being upside-down.
Ehrm, you forgot to mention the Mario circuit in Mario Kart 8 for Wii U🤓!!!!
Great ranking!! Wish we could've gotten MC4 on BCP instead of 3...
Anyone else think the SNES Mario Circuits' song sound weird? It might be the main instrument used for me, but it's a rather odd song
I KNEW THAT YOU WERE GONNA DO THIS 0:06
Honestly, I always have a charm for the Mario Circuits! Why not talk about the other character circuit tracks!?
Can you do a rank about all the haunted courses?
Adding to the how baffling SNES MC3 is, comes when conpared to the OTHER SNES Booster course, Bowser castle 3, its night and day.
@Odyssey_Central once the 2d levels ranking is done, could a video (or videos) about future Mario kart remake tracks and what could be done to improve them? (I ask because o rewatched the rainbow road one and wasn’t sure what I could personally come up with to improve 8’s rainbow road)
Didnt watch it yet, but I am curious if Odissey Central gonna consider Mario Raceway a Mario Circuit
when you said there was a turn in the pipe tunnel i was sure i heard you say there was a turd in it😭
now do ranking every mute city and/or every big blue
3:25 What makes this Mario circuit track the best is also when you're doing the Grand Prix and you place a banana peel or a green shell right before that ramp and if a computer runs into it they stop but then when they try to go over the ramp they don't have enough speed so they just bump into the wall and they have to go back around again and again and sometimes they will do that for the rest of the race and so much fun to totally screw them over that way.😂
Can’t wait for “every Petey Piranha ranked”
Short video idea: Rank very 1-1 in the series
