Mario Kart DS Retro Track Comparison

- Like Super Circuit, I decided to compare the graphics between Mario Kart DS and the previous games. Last time, my driving was not that great. So I improved the quality of the graphics and took my turns as carefully as I could!
Which ones do you prefer, the DS or the originals?
Thank you so much for all of your comments! This will be the last Mario Kart DS video that I will be doing. So far, this is the best MK game that I have played. Perhaps one day I could do the beta version!
So cool to see how the DS’s graphics were somewhere inbetween the N64 and GameCube.
Actually, the DS is inferior to the N64 in processing polygons, it's just that nintendo gained experience on modeling and making textures over the years
@@elcanaldelucas6187 kinda funny how the dsi is more powerful than n64
@@elcanaldelucas6187 Plus not having as many limitations with the file size
@@dogaddict1491 DS has a much larger texture cache (and bigger cartridges) that does give an advantage in texture resolution but otherwise the N64 has it soundly beat in raw compute performance
@@elcanaldelucas6187 though how come Mario kart DS is able to have full 3d racers but Mario kart 64 does not.
One thing I noticed about Mario Kart DS’ retro tracks;
Since this was the 5th game, there would only be SNES, N64, GBA, and GCN retro tracks. And they were put in game order for each retro cup. Did anyone else notice that? Or was it just me?
You’re not the only one. I also knew that a long time ago.
Starting with Wii, it had DS tracks. With 7, Wii tracks reappear. With 8/Deluxe, 3DS tracks appear
Pretty sure everyone noticed that.
This is how mario kart DS looked during it's prime
Honest Mario kart ds has a lot of great retro tracks I love that only thing is very minor they remove some of the originals like my favorite in mushroom bridge they took out the boosts on top of the bridge but I give it to Nintendo they did a excellent job bringing the retros to the ds it makes it feel
so nostalgic.
the flat 2d tracks really look off. They hardly improved them
Super Mario Kart Tracks:
Mario Circuit 1
Donut Plains 1
Koopa Beach 2
Choco Island 2
Mario Kart 64 Tracks:
Moo Moo Farm
Frappe Snowland
Choco Mountain
Banshee Boardwalk
Mario Kart Super Circuit Tracks:
Peach Circuit
Bowser Castle 2
Luigi Circuit
Sky Garden
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Tracks:
Luigi Circuit
Baby Park
Mushroom Bridge
Yoshi Circuit
Frappe Snowland is literally the exact same as the original.
But with better graphics! 😀
Well, I saw some differences that are hard to notice at first glance
@@Huwitto the trees for example
There is one difference I saw in this version of Frappe Snowland. The DS version of Frappe Snowland is a bit bigger than the original.
@@JoshuaDD-nc3oz worse*
Mario Kart Double Dash is the only game before DS to have much better graphics.
I agree
Kind of obvious
100% agree 👍
for a mario kart game in 2005, it didnt re-use that many music tracks, only 4
Figure-8 Circuit/Mario Circuit
Waluigi Pinball/Wario Stadium
GBA Peach Circuit/GBA Luigi Circuit
GCN Luigi Circuit/GCN Yoshi Circuit
The fact Double Dash used less music is weird
I know mario kart DS just used some of the simplist tracks when making retro courses. And this was before when Retro tracks were improved instead of just Remade. But I got to give it to them, this game still bops.
It wasn’t until Mario kart 8 where retro tracks were actually remade/remastered
I love how Choco Mountain on DS is were the mountain most looks like chocolate
Shell Cup:
0:00 SNES Mario Circuit 1
1:58 N64 Moo Moo Farm
5:12 GBA Peach Circuit
7:58 GCN Luigi Circuit
Banana Cup:
0:27 SNES Donut Plains 1
2:32 N64 Frappe Snowland
5:44 GBA Bowser Castle 2
8:37 GCN Baby Park
Leaf Cup:
1:31 SNES Koopa Beach 2
3:25 N64 Choco Mountain
6:30 GBA Luigi Circuit
9:18 GCN Mushroom Bridge
Lightning Cup:
1:00 SNES Choco Island 2
4:18 N64 Banshee Boardwalk
7:15 GBA Sky Garden
9:56 GCN Yoshi Circuit
It’s funny how Luigi circuit and yoshi circuit have the same music and are both retro tracks in Mario kart ds
The same goes to Luigi Circuit and Peach Circuit (both from Mario Kart Super Circuit).
Mario Kart DS is the only game with retro tracks to have the same music until Mario Kart 8 Deluxe got the booster pass.
I miss mario kart DS.
Me too bro I need to buy it back again 😪
I own a game card for my 2ds that has over 300 ds games, including Mario kart ds

I know you tried to trick in mario kart ds
time to compare the retro tracks. (for most of these changes I got help from the mariowiki)
SNES:
obviously, most of them got larger and 3d-er.
mario circuit 1: it's mostly faithful to the original, obviously the walls are actually walls instead of flat blocks. that's all I can say, most of the SNES and GBA tracks are gonna be like this.
donut plains 1: instead of the flat blocks on the bridge, it has girders that match the bridge more. the pipes are also green instead of orange.
choco island 2: the colors are more vibrant, and the bumps are now 3d.
koopa beach 2: the cheep cheeps have their modern appearance, and that's all I can say about this track.
well, that was simple. what about n64?
N64:
most parts look the same, but there are some changes worth noting.
moo moo farm: the track got narrower, and the monty moles have their new design. the Nintendo logo is gone, and the two bridges actually look like it's made of stone.
frappe snowland: looks mostly the same. the snowmen got a redesign, that's all I can see.
choco mountain: the road looks less rough and has straight lines that follow the path, and most of the signs are replaced like the Yoshi sign that was replaced with a YoshiKart sign instead. the fences are gone even in trial mode, and the rocks are better modeled. and lastly, the hills at the end are farther away from each other.
banshee boardwalk: the water is brighter, and the cheep cheep was changed to a bubba, the boos have their modern design (they still look similar), and the bats are replaced with swoops.
that's a lot of changes. let's go back to mode 7 tracks!
GBA:
it's like the SNES tracks but boring-er.
peach circuit: again, the track is faithful to the original and the flat blocks are walls. the road is darker, and for some unknown reason, the castle in the background is flipped.
bowser castle 2: you can now drive on the walls, the thwomps have their modern appearance, and the ramps are now dash panels.
luigi circuit: the rain looks much better, the warehouses now say "00" instead of "64" and "65", and the blimp logo changed.
sky garden: again, the blimp logo has changed, an added shortcut right after that, and the ramps are replaced with dash panels.
not a lot to be honest. it was super dull. but what about double dash?
GCN:
they didn't do these tracks justice in my opinion.
luigi circuit: the sunflowers and pipes are gone, the chain chomp is less shiny, and the blimp in the sky is nowhere to be found.
baby park: the rollercoaster is gone, and the laps are now 5 instead of 7.
mushroom bridge: the tunnels are green and red on each side instead of each tunnel being green and red, you can't go on top of the bridge anymore, and most of the vehicles are replaced with shroom ridge vehicles. basically worse version of the stage!
yoshi circuit: immediately, the piranha plants aren't in pipes anymore, the arcs that represent yoshi's fingers aren't there anymore, the yoshi tunnel's windows are larger, the yoshi helicopter is gone, daisy cruiser is gone, and the shortcut is gone. wow. what a downgrade.
yeah, most shortcuts are gone, every GCN course is downgraded, but it's not because they were lazy, it's just hardware limitations.
i hope you liked this, if you guys want to correct me, please leave a reply, and i'll edit it. thanks, and I'll see you in the wii retro tracks!

Subscribed!
10:43 Music?
“Kickin’ up dust” from cars the video game
Some of these courses must be re added to mario kart tour excellent frappe snowland, snes mario circuit, donut plains, koopa beach, and choco island because those courses are added even vanilla lake and yoshi curcit and maybe they will even add professor E-gadd because he is been unused in mario kart ds
I hope N64 Moo Moo Farm, GBA Peach Circuit, GCN Luigi Circuit, GCN Baby Park, GBA Luigi Circuit, GCN Mushroom Bridge, & N64 Banshee Boardwalk will be return to Mario Kart Tour but SNES Mario Circuit Zone Act 1, SNES Donut Plains Zone Act 1, N64 Frappe Snowland, GBA Bowser Castle Zone Act 2, SNES Koopa Beach Zone Act 2, N64 Choco Mountain, SNES Choco Island Zone Act 2, GBA Sky Garden, & GCN Yoshi Circuit are already returned to Mario Kart Tour
I did that request.
Which one?
@@zer0under4493 The unused content of mkds
Mario Kart DS retro tracks were easily the worst for numerous reasons
1. Shell cup is 75% generic first circuits
2. GCN Yoshi Circuit is a good course but my god is it an anti climatic end
3. Speaking of GCN my god what did they do to you Baby Park and Mushroom Bridge
4. Just SNES Choco Island 2 nuff said
Comparing all the tracks from original and Nintendo DS
in the version ds i like the circuit of the nintendo 64, gba and snes. while the gamecube i don't like because it took some changes and was removing
Except that the DS version of GCN Luigi Circuit is 100% faithful to the original one. I'm sure they remade this track pretty well.
I even think GCN Luigi Circuit from DS is better than the original from Double Dash.
1:44 No Bowser?
Mario Kart DS Vs Super Mario Kart
Mario Kart DS wins easily, dude. No competition. This is totally unfair. Even Mario Kart : Super Circuit and Mario Kart Tour are better than Super Mario Kart.
GCN Course are worse than the original
I like how all of the SNES, GBA, and N64 tracks look significantly better. And the Gamecube tracks still look good and polished despite that game being more graphically advanced. It shows that they did care about retro tracks before MK8. Honestly Mario Kart Wii was the only one I thought was lazy in the Retro track department, with its copy and pasted GCN levels, etc
To be fair, Double Dash and Wii had similar graphics, so there wasn’t too much to improve on.
SNES Mario Circuit was pretty much ruined, especially the music
In Mario Kart DS 2007
Is 2005 no 2007
Yes In 2007 Not 2005
Right here is complete proof why mario kart DS is the worst game in the series.
