    Mushroom Gorge has always been and will always be my favorite course of all time.
    The environment and difficulty changes throughout the course to keep it interesting and the music is friggin perfection.
    Also, being a 4-8 year old with little to no motor skills, I always felt so accomplished when I finished the mushroom portion without lakitu pulling me out of the gorge at least 10 times.
    (Honestly I feel like lakitu would get called out to a job, notice my baby peach main, and be like "not that friggin kid who drives into walls")

    I've always loved Maple Treeway. Good length and complexity. Good challenges in the form of the twisting start, the huge caterpillars after winding up the branch, and the final net bridge can catch you off guard if you're not paying attention. And the design is so indicative of a crisp autumn day. It's such a treat, visually speaking.

      That's pretty much accurate, before MK64 the only other game to feature the 3D thwomps specificly the blue ones was Super Mario 64 in which the thwomps appeared 3 times, twice in whomp's fortress and once at the very top of tick tock clock. The theory goes that the thwomp at the top of the clock litterally helped Mario obtain a power star so that betrayal to Bowser was enough to throw him in jail.

    My only question is why is it named after DK when the course’s most iconic landmark is a giant statue of Mario

    What most people don’t know about why certain tracks are put in certain cups is that it’s based on which cups they came from in their debut games. For example, if a track came from Star Cup or Special Cup, most times it would end up being in the Leaf Cup or Lightning Cup. That’s not always the case however, seeing that SNES Mario Circuit 3 was from its debut game’s Flower Cup.

      ​@@Sceptonic Funnily enough, Tour is set to seemingly get another 5 Wii courses (though Grumble Volcano was in the base game of 8 and could've been scrapped, as the only files tied to it were test ones), and the tracks you mentioned are still going to be the courses we get if datamines and leaks are any indication. DK Summit and Koopa Cape were found in a banner datamined in Wave 1, and the person who's been accurately leaking future waves (including the changes in Wave 3 from the music prefetch leak) has gone on record as saying the remaining track is Wii Rainbow Road. There are also a few objects in Tour's files that are speculated to be for Wii Rainbow Road. It is a shame that 8 Deluxe is going to miss out on the other Wii tracks planned - Dry Dry Ruins was datamined, and the way the game orders its internal course IDs signals that Daisy Circuit is coming, and another Wii track is planned (my money is on Moonview Highway, as it wouldn't require any unique course objects not in Tour's files, whereas Wii Moo Moo Meadows would need the Moo Moos, and Wii Mario Circuit is lame lol - those are the only tracks that can fit the slot because it's sandwiched between Maple Treeway and Mushroom Gorge, incidentally).

    I grew up with Mario Kart DS, and I will always vibe to Waluigi Pinball. It’s colorful, the pinball dynamic is dodgy but fun, and it has the catchiest music next to Coconut Mall.

      Want a normal reply? xD
      I completely agree! Not to mention the fact that the modding community for this game is literally the best thing any fandom has done for their game. Wiimfi and CTGP alone solo anything Nintendo did with the game, and a lot of custom tracks these days play and look better than the original game.

    As someone who played funky kong/jetsetter, coconut mall was a nightmare, i still have nightmares of getting hit with stuff as the escalators change directions, because you physically couldn’t make it up the stairs afterwards. You had to turn around, go back down and then up the other side.

    Watching this was a nostalgia trip. Makes me sad that the old Wii I played on as a kid broke and stopped reading disks properly. I'd love to play on these old wii-exclusive racing tracks again. (Rainbow road was my absolute favorite despite it's difficulty, would play on that track over and over and over again for hours if I was given the chance, I couldn't care less that I was plummeting to earth a gazillion times lol)

      You could try finding someone to repair it for you, my guess is that the laser simply stopped working and that is not hard to fix :)

    • @imarandomgamer2
      @imarandomgamer2 5 місяців тому

      @@sweetcoco8064 Possibly. I have no idea where that old Wii ended up though, it was for the entire family and it broke when I was a kid. I have no idea what my parents did with it after it broke. I recall the family keeping the games for a while so we could keep playing them on the Wii U, but I think the Wii U also broke eventually and I don’t know what happened to that one either.

    I had a feeling Coconut Mall would be #1, and honestly, why wouldn't it be? Driving through a shopping mall is such an insane concept for an already insane game series, and it did Not disappoint. Everything about it from the mall's layout, mii drivers, and ESPECIALLY the Music is all Top Tier Game Design. 🏆
