Not only does this look like a track from the base game, with its more realistic aesthetic and emphasis on anti-gravity. Bowser's castle here looks a lot more intimidating than the N64 original!
My favorite thing about the original track is how it feels off from Bowser’s usual vibe. You definitely cranked that atmosphere up to 11, it just feels so out of place and that’s why I love it.
I really like the idea of using the moss-covered Thwomp from Thwomp Fortress to reference Marty's green lighting from the original. The implication that Marty died and rotted away from being left in that cage for almost 30 years, not so much.
If you mean better than the N64 version then you are stupid. If you mean better than the booster course pass you are still stupid. Its very clearly not better than the booster course pass. Great for a custom track but the hate boner is real with some of you.
As someone who grew up with MK64, I have to say this is really impressive - great job! Though I miss a bit the original atmosphere since the colors are completely different and the lava is missing. But in terms of track design, you brought it to the MK8 present very well.
This is one of the greatest tracks ever made in Mario Kart history. It takes the best track in Mario Kart 64 and improves it in every aspect. Absolute perfection.❤️
The only thing I feel would've made this better would be a gliding section at the end when you shift from anti-grav back to normal, otherwise this track is PERFECT! So beautiful and the design is remixed enough while retaining the original's vibes.
This track looks incredible it’s practically unrecognizable compared to its most recent Wii interpretation. So much detail and the main wall texture cast an amazing ominous light on the whole track. Great job!
Modded Mario Kart tacks have come a long way! The modding was more simple with more basic textures and little to no vertex colors. Now, we have tracks rivaling the official ones! Anyway, the state the castle in is rather interesting. It looks very nice, yet the damage to it gives off the impression Bowser has recently abandoned it.
Its weird how fans can create/remake tracks that are on par with base Mario Kart 8 if not even better, yet Nintendo can’t add the sunset to Sunset Wilds
I love the artistic and stylistic choice of giving it this overhauled medieval gothic look! And the ruinous aesthetic with extra emphasis on the anti gravity just makes this course enthralling to look at! It’s just wonderful the modding community has come so far😍
I fucking love how Instead of infinite lava everywhere around the castle, the whole castle is just floating on air and every little detail of this track from the anti gravity, the rooms, the bridge over a water chamber is so fucking accurate for a remake. I wish this track was in mario kart booster course pass but i doubt they can do something better than this.
That's great! I hope we get some nice courses like this one in the next Mario Kart. I do hope they put an option for not getting the song faster in the Final Lap for those who want like me. Cause man, that soundtrack you used there is really great!
This is an incredible rendition of one of my favourite Mario Kart tracks! I love the different vibe you've gone for with this one, with a more gothic, haunted feel, rather than the lava lake in the original. :)
The low item block count bothers me so much as it did in the original, good job, I hate it. Personal rant aside, the castle looks absolutely beautiful, and keeping "Morty" behind bars was a nice touch. Could use some lava sea like someone else had mentioned
As imaginative as this is, I can’t help but prefer the more liminal and simplistic aesthetic of the original track. The fear factor with N64 Bowser’s Castle is how it’s just the hallways of a castle in a barren void of lava with Thwomps as the only living thing.
What's so intimidating about this is it's lack of lava. It looks like its floating in the sky, like it was ripped out of one of the Galaxy games or something. absolutely spectacular
To get this track to the next level, it needs: 1. Lava added somewhere at the end before and after the spiral. 2. A handful of corners need to be reworked (as even a Biddybuggy struggled with them) 3. Brighter arrows are needed even though they ruin the track a little. (Also there's no arrow at the turn at 2:45) 4. (Totally most important) THE BOWSER STATUE AT THE BEGINNING NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO DAMAGE THE PLAYERS LIKE IN Wii!)

If Bowser was a vampire this is how his castle would look like
Yeah this is an amazing remake. It's funny how you have to specify base game, the dlc tracks look nowhere near this good
i still miss the lava
Now this is a remake. Doesn't just 1 to 1 port the track. Actually takes the time to modernize it.
Could use some Lava Oceans, but my GOD. It screams Bowser's Evil.
My only real criticism of this track is that it needs more lava, particularly in that one room with the wooden bridge. Aside from that, excellent work

(But marty is in this track)
@@Natka74 true, but he's all mossy lol. They gotta free him from that cage someday
That awkward moment when the custom tracks are better than the original
Or rather what Nintendo offered in mk8 deluxe
@@jamesburrows1962You mean with the booster course pass. The original Mario Kart 8’s DLC course remakes were great!

What we got in 8 Deluxe was Depressing.

I gotta say this looks absolutely incredible
This might be the best custom track I've ever seen. If this was base game, I wouldn't raise an eyebrow.
This just seems like Bowser abandoned this castle just by the looks of it.
This is one of the greatest tracks ever made in Mario Kart history. It takes the best track in Mario Kart 64 and improves it in every aspect. Absolute perfection.❤️
▪︎ Everybody knows that it's not "N64 Bowser's Castle" without Marty 🔥
Nice Detail! ✨️
Marty is there, he's just not green anymore

1:47 double boos what is this madness man
The mad lad even put in Marty and not just a regular Thwomp, my god, if only all custom tracks were this good.
Its weird how fans can create/remake tracks that are on par with base Mario Kart 8 if not even better, yet Nintendo can’t add the sunset to Sunset Wilds
I gotta say, this FatCat really took their time reimagining this classic course in HD.
Finally an N64 Bowser's Castle update I like!
What a amazing custom track
I love the artistic and stylistic choice of giving it this overhauled medieval gothic look! And the ruinous aesthetic with extra emphasis on the anti gravity just makes this course enthralling to look at! It’s just wonderful the modding community has come so far😍
This is How “Remaking” Tracks should look. The Original Layout but Modernized but at times have Layout Modifications to make it work better.
I fucking love how Instead of infinite lava everywhere around the castle, the whole castle is just floating on air and every little detail of this track from the anti gravity, the rooms, the bridge over a water chamber is so fucking accurate for a remake.

I came to see if Marty was still there, and I was not disappointed.
It's more like Dracula's Castle than Bowser's Castle. And there was no lava
This is an incredible rendition of one of my favourite Mario Kart tracks! I love the different vibe you've gone for with this one, with a more gothic, haunted feel, rather than the lava lake in the original. :)
amazing, but i'll dock a point because there's a chronic lack of lava in here.
The low item block count bothers me so much as it did in the original, good job, I hate it. Personal rant aside, the castle looks absolutely beautiful, and keeping "Morty" behind bars was a nice touch. Could use some lava sea like someone else had mentioned
It’s crazy I’m impressed of this quality better than mk8 dlc tracks !

Ok using giga bowser as the fire breathing statue is really clever
What's so intimidating about this is it's lack of lava. It looks like its floating in the sky, like it was ripped out of one of the Galaxy games or something. absolutely spectacular
I love this iteration of N64 Bowser’s Castle, it’s so unique and different giving Castlevania vibes or Frankenstein !
This reminds me heavily of how Mario Kart 8 used to look on Wii-U. Amazing work!
I like how the track has a grassy, rainy ascetic. Really sticks out compared to the lava-coated looks of other Bowser Castles.
This looks 100x better than booster course tracks
Awesome, I just wish the there was lava 9/10!
This is Bowser's Castle? Where's the Lava?
I drank it
@@Natka74Mom said it was my turn drinking lava😭😭😭
It looks pretty dang good, I think if the lighting was better it would look pretty legit
This looks and sounds awesome!

Finally, a fanmade track that's actually GOOD
Yeah, I consider this the best version I've seen.
Seeing how amazing this is and then reminding myself about the Booster Pass..... We were robbed
Fan modders do what nintendon't
This made it into 8 Ctgp!
This ain't a castle, this a citadel.
better than anything nintendo would ever give us
Fans would say they ruined it lmao
Not true, base 8 gave us all sorts of things like this
after the GBA tracks in tour, i don't think he's wrong
ah bullshit, the original MK8 and its first DLCs were the same level 10 years ago. They just went lazy with the Booster course DLC.
Chances are Nintendo would have made dumb moves if they remade it themselves, like removing Marty the Thwomp.
This track genuinely used to creep me out on the wii
OK I am getting a major Zelda vibe from this
Marty spotted
Nintendo please hire your fans
I would love to drive on this track
i wish the course intro in this track was an electric guitar version of it
I love the idea of custom course intros but they're never done.. Can't say I can do it though
@Natka74 thought ctgp deluxe made custom course intros
@@kiwitheleafeon Does it? I never paid attention to it
More like Bowser's Cathedral
It's as polished as the original mk8 remakes
This is such a good mod
MY GOD, THIS IS SO GOOD
Bowser’s castle if he redecorated for Halloween
This is nuts wtf
I wished this was in Wave 6 instead of SNES Bowser Castle 3 which should’ve been in Wave 5!
I think to the throw behind grille is green color again.
The Giga Bowser statue looks cool
Oh my gosh I LOVE this!
Of course, it can only be a FarCat map
This looks like Bowser took over one of Peach’s castles!
This is perfect EXCEPT: where is the green thwomp's mad laughter?
This is so fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simply amazing, better then Nintendo themselves…
1:47 how do you get that unlucky where you are booed twice?
Item balancing is gone when you set custom items sooo
Add the wiis version of the n64 music and this is a perfect course
This looks official
En serio creí que era un nuevo mapa 😅
PERFECTIONNNN!!!! 🎉❤❤❤
I See You Managed To Bring Back Your N64 Bowser's Castle Video...And On Your 2nd Channel As Well
Nintendo should hire you
Looks like something from the legend of Zelda
I think the hole in the last turn should be another way through to the finish
it looks better and plays better than all of the dlc tracks... so sad nintendo decided to give us crap...
This and n64 Mario raceway I wanted Nintendo to remake so badly. Seeing this only makes me more disappointed but sigh maybe next game.
With so many Retro bowser castle selections to be remade, its difficult this one to be remake again
Shame it wasn’t included in the base game or the Booster Course Pass DLC
Wow
Very cool
N64 hyrule castle
I thought this was official.
Hey, they bothered to make the map accurate
Wtf i want to play this
Why is Marty in jail?
Wheres Marty?
Still there :)
is it just me or is it long
Where the hell is Marty
he's in the same place he always is, just look real close
@@hoppingiconcentral826 bruh, yhere needs to be light in his damn cell so we can see him
The original one was better
