It's a crime Waluigi himself wasn't in Mario Kart 7 and they had the audacity to include Waluigi Pinball without him. Luckily they did it right in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
I think they took it out during race because it's Waluigi Pinball's first time in a system capable of having split-screen multiplayer, so maybe the game doesn't handle very well applying the sound when having players in different places around the track. They didn't have to think about that on DS, 7 or Tour, as you'll always be playing alone.
This video is a great comparison between all versions. The only downside from Waluigi Pinball in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is that it’s missing the jingle sound effect when you enter back inside the tunnel, before the finish line. I know it’s just a sound effect, but it what makes the track great. Other than that, it’s great to see this track again on the Switch.
Eventhough it’s literally called “Waluigi Pinball” I never really noticed the giant Waluigi in the middle and also realize how the newer versions of the track have the giant Waluigi creepily move side to side while the original is just staring at you
I prefer the creepy waluigi of the DS, it fits better with how Luigi is portrayed has being scared of ghost while waluigi is the one scaring the ghosts
@@beboboi Fabric seems like it'd add unwanted friction to the board, making it much slower and much less fun. Silk or velvet could maybe work, I'm not sure though.
Man it had such a glow-up on the switch. The lighting is just terrible in tour. Amazing how much good lighting and textures help it feel more complete! This is the one Tour port I actually prefer, the redesign in Tour looks great and looks right at home in MK8 deluxe. As a pinball machine, it is ok that there are bright colors and lights. Heck, they even made the coins neck to the waluigi cutout shiny.
They could have done so more rather than just add lighting and minimal textures to these exported tracks, but no, of course Nintendo didn't - ever since Iwata passed they haven't cared about their so-called "seal of quality." Stop fanboying for Nintendo and be critical of them for their laziness and scummy business practices.
Waluigi pinball from tour was a great change! Cleaning some details and making very wah style was a nice change! But here in Mario Kart 8 deluxe, it felt like a completely HD track! That is a BIG W for Waluigi!
The only things missing on the MK8D version is a couple of sounds effects, like when advancing to the next place and the first place sound, and the last part of the course.
Thank you, Nintendo. Coconut Mall, Mushroom Gorge, and Waluigi Pinball were all on my dream tracks list. All that’s left now is Toad’s Factory, Maple Treeway, Ghost Valley 2, Shy Guy Bazaar, and Dino Dino Jungle.
I don't know if anyone else noticed but they removed the sound of "losing a ball" whenever you cross the gap between the two flippers (right before entering the area where you cross the finish line), every other version had that sound effect and it was a really nice detail, but now the Mario Kart 8 version doesn't have it anymore u.u
This stage is _so much more colourful_ in Tour and 8. _Too_ colourful that it's almost painful, but I kind of love it because of that. If there's any stage that _should_ be capable of triggering someone's epilepsy, it's this one.
Tbh I do like the Mk8 deluxe version of Waluigi Pinball but like, I think the original charm is gone at that point, I think what gave it that like essence essentially is the vibe and aesthetic was trying to match that of the pinball game that was often found in computers back then, dull and grey and darks on the tracks but the colors stayed secluded to certain parts in order to really push the pinball look, which is what’s charming, imo ofc
Idkw, but when I was younger, the giant Waluigi statue in the DS version of Waluigi Pinball looked menacing to me. Maybe its because of the low graphics quality.
I've only plyed mariokart on my little DSI so when i try to use an item on my brothers switch, i just look behind me! I crashed into so many walls the first time, cuz i just didnt know the use button lol
Bro. I get into lobbies were everyone plays as waluigi, so that when the stage pops up everyone chooses it. I got annoyed but I was like there having fun so blah. But I never realized how big of a fan favorite it was.
I've heard so much good, nay divinity about this stage, but never got the chance to experience the original years ago. Now, after I've tasted the experience the moment Waluigi Pinball was released, I finally understood why so many people are chompin' at the bed about this. It's one helluva eye-opener for me.
This is one of the most funnest maps in 8 deluxe. I love the music and the colors truly i do. Especially the older versions its so colorful, thats my favorite part about this map
The reflections for the actual pinball section look way better in MK7 compared to MK8. This is because they aren't actual reflections, the floor is transparent and a mirrored version of all obstacles and stuff is below it.
Behold the most overrated Mario kart track ever. Seriously it’s annoyingly overrated. I don’t see the hype, it’s not very challenging, the music is mid
@@ikaros6633 I like more tracks than you probably, I like every Tour city track and i'm sure as hell you don't lmao, who appears like the happier MK fan?
Unpopular opinion: Waluigi pinball beta is better than the official one. It spends more time in the pinball table and has more pinball elements trought the track
@@lifeofjeffrey2447 It's in Deluxes files. It's just that there might have been either a mistake on programming or a bug that is preventing the sound from being played.
The mario kart 8 remake one is so smooth and cartoony I noticed that with their new Dlc tracks compare it to neo bowsers or the fzero tracks and idk how to feel ab it
It would be awesome if in a new version, whenever the giant lottery machine spins three of a kind, a special action related to that item happens. Like three bananas, heaps of bananas appear randomly.
Missed effort to make the greatest iteration of Waluigi Pinball on MK8, with all the technology and graphics we have now. We got a port of a mobile track. Still mad at Nintendo, worst Pinball version imo
The waluigi in the middle in the newer version really stuck out to me and I thought it was something they had added, but I came back to check the original and it’s always been there. Wtf

Isn't the theme of wario stadium technically the reused version of waluigi pinball

Maybe Waluigi was playing pinball as the rest of them just drove laughing at the misfortune as many crash their karts on the huge steely pinballs.

Who asked for her
We all remember the moment we first entered this race on DS. The ost was just great
First times playing this track? Was horror. Because the curves in the green section are so weird. But now I am one of the best on this track.
THEY NEED TO ADD THE SOUND AT THE END OF THE TRACK BACK ON THE SWITCH. I knew I wasn’t tripping when I noticed that that took the sound out.
Pretty sure it was because it was added to the track intro before the race.
@@turbobist2889 Yeah before the race starts you can hear it

So Nintendo sucks
I JUST NOTICED THE SAME
@@Android-Twenty-One I agree, it IS in the files, and I think I saw a string of code for it, so idk why it doesn’t play

That gigant waluigi from MKDS looks more creepy!
honestly the original statue of him just looking dead inside is way more creepy
I thought it was Waluigi himself playing pinball so when they made it a cutout I was a bit disappointed
I prefer the creepy waluigi of the DS, it fits better with how Luigi is portrayed has being scared of ghost while waluigi is the one scaring the ghosts
I mean it always was a cutout in actuality the tour and switch one grew on me as it was more animated
I really hope whoever designed this track lives a long, happy, healthy life
I love how in MK7 there are no changes to the map or music. Amazing.
thats why it's the best version
I think the sound quality might be a little higher but like you said, no other changes.
@@Eyesharted50Actually the music is a lot faster on lap 3
@@christopherneff1884that’s how it is for basically every track

It feels so good to see Waluigi Pinball on the big screen FINALLY!!
What about playing Mario Kart DS on the Wii U via virtual console?
I didn’t even know that existed. 😂 But I probably won’t count it because it’s still Mario Kart DS which is on a handheld console.
im really happy they kept the sound affect for when you pass the finish line for every lap
Also the crates sound have an "arxade effect" instead of the original sound
The design of this course is a masterpiece.
I'm so happy it's back

@@real_abender Lol. You started Nintendo with the Switch, I can tell.
@@Wackaz ikr LOL.
I used to play the DS version game when I was around seven, and EVERYTHING is so nostalgic... the sound effects, drifting, the countdown... W O A H
The fact that the waluigi model in the stage gets less creepier over the years
so nostalgic this used to be one of my fav courses from the ds version what a whole trip down the memory
The Waluigi in the middle of the board in the original is terrifying tho
I prefer the horrifying version tho
Nightmare fuel tbh
Waluigi pinball from tour was a great change! Cleaning some details and making very wah style was a nice change! But here in Mario Kart 8 deluxe, it felt like a completely HD track! That is a BIG W for Waluigi!
BIG W is a shopping centre
they took everything from tour and did some changes and moved a sound
It was indisputably the best track in DS. It still holds up great to this day.
Airship fortress is better IMO
delfino square was better imo
For me is they classic rainbow Road xd in 2th place this track
Apart from shroom ridge
It's pretty debatable if you count Airship Fortress, Delfino Square and Tick-Tock Clock into the mix.
If there's ONE thing Waluigi is good for, it's making banger racetracks.
The only things missing on the MK8D version is a couple of sounds effects, like when advancing to the next place and the first place sound, and the last part of the course.
Thank you, Nintendo. Coconut Mall, Mushroom Gorge, and Waluigi Pinball were all on my dream tracks list. All that’s left now is Toad’s Factory, Maple Treeway, Ghost Valley 2, Shy Guy Bazaar, and Dino Dino Jungle.

Finally someone else noticed
You don't appreciate things until they're gone...
This brings back memories for me because I started playing Mario cart on the DS
This stage is _so much more colourful_ in Tour and 8. _Too_ colourful that it's almost painful, but I kind of love it because of that.
If there's any stage that _should_ be capable of triggering someone's epilepsy, it's this one.
How were the graphics as a child: 0:24
As I remember them as a child: 7:54
1:37 Music
3:30 Music
4:18 Music
6:17 Music
8:20 No music, what the heck?
Hopefully in Wave 3, similar to what they did when updating Coconut Mall, they'll add the music back.
Funny enough, that music *is* in the DLC, but only during the introduction for the Grand Prix.
@@JJ_R Really??? Then wtf why isn't it in the race
@@Logic590 I don’t know. Probably an oversight?
CONGRATS ON BEING IN A VIDEO! WAHOOOOOOOO!
I'm not gonna lie it's really trippy seeing Mario Kart 7 gameplay in 3rd person because I always play it in 1st person
I forgot first person was even a thing
@@AstralNic to me it just feels so cool to actually be in the seat driving around each wacky track that 3rd person seems wrong
The only downgrade to it is that it has gyro controls. At least you can still play normally with the circle pad/ D-pad while in the Gyro vision
Without a doubt my favourite MK8DX DLC track, my favourite Mario Kart 7 retro track, and one of my favourite Mario Kart tracks of all time.
Tbh I do like the Mk8 deluxe version of Waluigi Pinball but like, I think the original charm is gone at that point, I think what gave it that like essence essentially is the vibe and aesthetic was trying to match that of the pinball game that was often found in computers back then, dull and grey and darks on the tracks but the colors stayed secluded to certain parts in order to really push the pinball look, which is what’s charming, imo ofc
Best mario kart track of all time
ITS FINALLY HERE!
Weird way to spell 3ds Rainbow Road.
One of the best? Yes. The best? No. Best track of all time gotta be Coconut Mall or Wii Rainbow Road
The weird thing is that we got this course on Mario Kart 7, we never got Waluigi as a playable character in Mario Kart 7.
Really funny what i thought of „photorealistic“ as a kid
waluigi pinball had such a glow up in 8 deluxe
The phrase 9:20 sounds so epic, it doesn't matter if I don't totally understand what he says, XD
0:05 Oh yeah!
The music get me jamming
Idkw, but when I was younger, the giant Waluigi statue in the DS version of Waluigi Pinball looked menacing to me. Maybe its because of the low graphics quality.
Most likely cause it was 3D, that did not look good, especially for what the track is
@@nucci6865 3ds was also 3d, but it doesn't look as menacing as the ds version.
Waluigi: How come I wasn't in Mario kart 7 on Nintendo 3DS 😥
Really, Waluigi Pinball is the only dlc track that actually fits in with the Mario Kart 8 aesthetic
What about Choco Mountain, Ninja Hideaway, and Kalimari Desert?
As an OG Mario kart player, this map is one of my favorites
what does OG player on Mario Kart mean for you
Wow, they really do just use the tour tracks for the DLC with very very little changes..
Waluigi Pinball: Oh you're a good track alright, just not a super one!
Mushroom Gorge: Yeah? What's the difference?
Waluigi Pinball: *PRESENTATION!*
8:20 kinda sad for removing the pinball losing sound effect here
Waluigi Pinball is one of my favorite race courses in the Mario Kart series.
I've only plyed mariokart on my little DSI so when i try to use an item on my brothers switch, i just look behind me! I crashed into so many walls the first time, cuz i just didnt know the use button lol
Be honest
Besides Delfino... Bowser's Castle's...
Waluigi Pinball Machine was THAT track you constantly replayed over and over
Bro. I get into lobbies were everyone plays as waluigi, so that when the stage pops up everyone chooses it. I got annoyed but I was like there having fun so blah. But I never realized how big of a
fan favorite it was.
We need an actual Waluigi Pinball table.
Nothing is more fun than racing in a giant Pinball Machine…
*The DS version of the first Waluigi Pinball race is clearly the best Waluigi Pinball race in the entire series ! 😍😍😍.*
Waluigi‘s pinball is my most favourite course from Mario kart DS

u guys have no idea how much i adore this track
The most iconic Mario Kart track❤️✨
Waluigi's Pinball machine music is the grooviest in Mario Kart history! ❤❤❤
This is one of the most funnest maps in 8 deluxe. I love the music and the colors truly i do. Especially the older versions its so colorful, thats my favorite part about this map
Is anybody gonna talk about the Waluigi in the DS version in the background look like he gonna kill me
the new switch version is missing crucial sound effects that made the original special. Like the lose sound when you enter the tunnel at the end.
They got rid of the sound effects when you bypass the flippers in Deluxe. How do you mess that up??
it’s because of split screen
even though there’s a Zelda track that also uses a sound effect after you hit the 3 gravity boosters
In my opinion the best part of the bonus tracks of mario kart 8 deluxe its the music, it's so good music
Well I put Waluigi Pinball for Gran Turismo Series?

The model for the waluigi pinball on the top of the machine looks horrifying on the Ds version
it’s to show the menacing feeling that he’s in control
