That's just completely average drifting with no mini turbo

#

If you don't press anything, you won't charge up anything at all

deep cradle
#

Huh, so it doesn’t charge if you hold drift and turn then go neutral?

neon quest
#

Nah, turning more charges up the mini turbo faster

deep cradle
#

Kk, so you do it just isn’t as effective

neon quest
#

Yeah

#

Soft drifting is very good for when you need a quick recovery off an awkward angle

#

For example, Wii Grumble Volcano

#

A very bumpy track with the moving platforms that, especially in the volcano, can make you go off at an awkward angle

deep cradle
#

#

me who hard drifts at certain points to get around

neon quest
#

However, holding R and turning when you land in the awkward position can get you in position to do an s-bend drift and do another right after

#

Soft drifting is good for getting out of awkward exits off ramps and such

#

Very good for tracks like the aforementioned Wii Grumble Volcano, 3DS Piranha Plant Pipeway, Bone Dry Dunes and Sweet Sweet Canyon

deep cradle
#

I’ve watched the shortcats of every track 150cc. I’ll have to practice eventually

#

That wasn’t a typo btw

neon quest
#

Nah, I know who that is! Very good player

neon quest
#

OH SHITTTT

#

MK8D JUST BECAME NINTENDO'S BEST SELLING GAME EVER

slate orbit
#

i thought that already happened

neon quest
#

Nope, just best selling Switch game

#

THOUGH, there is some debate

#

Because Wii Sports is still #1

slate orbit
#

It wasn't sold separately

#

It doesn't count

neon quest
#

BUT many people are discounting it as it was essentially a tech demo

slate orbit
#

It's like saying the free game that comes with every ps5 is the best selling game on the console

neon quest
#

TRUE

#

So, yes

#

Mario Kart 8 went from one of the Wii U's only saving grace

#

To the best selling Nintendo game EVER

slate orbit
#

I guess you could say that it really made a

#

comeback

neon quest
slate orbit
#

ba dum tsssss insert laughing track

quasi wedge
#

NOT MALAYSIA

lone agate
neon quest
#

NO WAIT-

slate orbit
neon quest
#

NOOO

lone agate
#

malaysia circuit looks crazy

neon quest
#

Six Months Speedway

slate orbit
#

If they add more irl locations as tracks I'm waiting for literally any city in Sweden

#

Especially Uppsala

#

That's where I'm from

neon quest
#

IVE DONE IT

slate orbit
#

?

neon quest
#

I have made a prediction list for the next MK's retro track selection!

slate orbit
#

Wowie

#

Is SNES RR on it?

neon quest
#

What do you think lmao

slate orbit
#

Yes

#

Otherwise I'm going to destroy you

neon quest
#

My Pizza Tower parry awaits you

#

Anyhoo, I thought I'd do something nobody else has really done

#

Nintendo have got some REALLY big shoes to fill after the 96 tracks MK8D has

#

So if they just returned to doing 32 tracks like DS, Wii and 3DS, that's obviously gonna disappoint fans

#

So, instead of making 4 cups of 4 retros

slate orbit
neon quest
#

I pulled a page from Super Mario Kart's book and am predicting they will return to 5 races per cup!

#

Because again, you are NOT gonna have 96 tracks again, that's impossible

#

But 5 tracks per cup would mean a lot of content to explore!

#

So, what did I come up with?

#

This!

slate orbit
#

Just add all the tracks problemlevel3

#

From every game

quasi wedge
#

True

slate orbit
#

If the switch 2 is backwards compatible they already have 96 of em right there

quasi wedge
neon quest
#

B

slate orbit
neon quest
#

BOTH DAISY TRACKS WERE IN MK8D!!!!

slate orbit
#

Too bad

quasi wedge
slate orbit
#

Add more

quasi wedge
#

We need more

slate orbit
#

Just make more

#

Also

quasi wedge
#

True

slate orbit
#

Add sonic

neon quest
#

Seriously though, it would be really cool if we got a track based off Sarasaland

#

Using various elements and set pieces from Super Mario Land

slate orbit
#

OR

#

we get a map that is just daisy

quasi wedge
#

Wait thatd be fire

slate orbit
#

Every texture is this photo

neon quest
#

YEAH, I'm shocked they haven't used that as influence yet

#

Sarasaland is such an interesting place

#

Almost like a reinvention/ mix-up of Egypt and the Easter Islands

quasi wedge
#

Maybe it’ll be as good as the best desert course

slate orbit
#

Ok guys

quasi wedge
#

Calamari desert

neon quest
#

Yeah, Wii Dry Dry Ruins

slate orbit
#

But yk how spy TF2 is in team sonic racing right?

neon quest
#

Oh no

slate orbit
#

With the Yogscast?

slate orbit
#

And how sonic and mario are in the same universe because of alot of games

neon quest
#

Oh noooo

slate orbit
#

When is the TF2 gang coming to mario kart

#

I need a 2fort track

neon quest
#

Uhhhhh

#

In the year 3008

slate orbit
#

Welp bois

#

We're building a time machine

neon quest
#

Lmao

#

Imma be honest

#

They really have to start pulling from the Arcade games now

slate orbit
#

Namco circut

neon quest
#

They are so MINIMAL on retro track choices

quasi wedge
#

Nuh uh

neon quest
#

Lightning Cup, race 3

slate orbit
#

Don chan playable character again when?

neon quest
#

YESSS

quasi wedge
#

Wait

#

Why are there 5 races..?

#

In a cup..?

neon quest
#

Ah, that

slate orbit
#

Because more vroom

neon quest
#

Thing is that Nintendo are NOT going to top 96 tracks, not a chance in hell

slate orbit
#

To fuel comebacks Extreme hyperfixation

neon quest
#

SO why don't they pull a page from SMK and have 5 races per cup again

#

That way, you'll have 20 retros

slate orbit
quasi wedge
#

Real

slate orbit
#

As a game dev myself

#

It's actually not that hard

#

Just drag and drop and fix a couple hit boxes

neon quest
quasi wedge
#

I would be

neon quest
#

We were pissed at the BCP for a reason

quasi wedge
neon quest
#

Hang on, lemme rephrase that

slate orbit
#

How about

#

They make

#

SNES rr

#

2

neon quest
#

People hated the BCP because it was just reusing content from Tour which is FINE because it's highly unlikely many MK players would have played Tour

#

But imagine they just did that again

quasi wedge
#

How about they make

neon quest
#

Besides, backwards compatibility would solve your problem

quasi wedge
#

Evil snes rr

slate orbit
#

SNES monochrome road

quasi wedge
#

Switch rainbow road but it’s snes rainbow road themed

slate orbit
#

How about

#

They made a cup

#

That's all SNES rr

#

But with little remixes

neon quest
#

Gwen you are insane-

quasi wedge
#

How about

slate orbit
quasi wedge
#

They made a cup

#

That’s all excitebike arena

slate orbit
#

And SNES rr

quasi wedge
#

But with a little remixes

neon quest
#

You both have mere seconds left

slate orbit
neon quest
#

I find it funny neither of you are bringing up that I want DS Figure-8 Circuit to return lmao

quasi wedge
#

Coz figure 8 circuit is fire

slate orbit
#

I barely read the list

#

I just saw no SNES rr

#

So I knew it's not peak

quasi wedge
#

No excitebike arena

neon quest
#

I also made it priority to even out game representation

#

The only difficulty I had was Arcade GP 2

quasi wedge
#

Coz Nintendo would never do that

#

And add an arcade gp course

#

Let’s be honest comeback

neon quest
slate orbit
#

Here's my list:

SNES RR cup
SNES RR cup
Exitebike cup
A sweeden cup
And idk a LGBT cup that has daisy for some reason

#

This would be peak

#

(I'm not serious about the LGBT cup)

neon quest
#

Lmaooo

quasi wedge
#

Don’t ask why I have this

slate orbit
quasi wedge
#

Very

slate orbit
#

Yipee!

quasi wedge
#

When is the Daisy I am illiterate course being added

quasi wedge
#

why is comeback writing an essay

slate orbit
#

This is NOT English class

neon quest
#

Just thought I'd detail the game rep distribution:
SNES = 2 (Koopa Beach 1, Mario Circuit 4)
N64 = 1 (Wario Stadium)
GBA = 2 (Rainbow Road, Broken Pier)
GCN = 2 (Mushroom City, Rainbow Road)
AGP/2 = 2 (Mario Highway/Beach, Rainbow Downhill/Coaster)
DS = 2 (Figure-8 Circuit, Bowser's Castle)
Wii = 2 (Toad's Factory, Bowser's Castle)
3DS = 2 (Wuhu Island Loop, Wuhu Mountain Loop)
AGPDX = 2 (DK Jungle/Bananan Ruins, PAC-MAN Stadium/NAMCO Circuit)
Wii U = 2 (Dolphin Shoals, Electrodrome)
Tour = 1 (Piranha Plant Pipeline)

slate orbit
#

I'd try and read that but my eyes refuse to let me

neon quest
#

It's been remade TWICE

quasi wedge
#

Yeah coz it’s the best desert course

slate orbit
#

Where SNES rr

neon quest
#

IT'S BEEN REMADE 3 GAMES IN A ROW-

quasi wedge
#

Yeah we don’t need that one

#

We need calamari desert

slate orbit
slate orbit
quasi wedge
#

Wait that’s true

#

I have an idea

#

Just add every single course

#

Ever

#

Can’t be that hard 🥱🥱

neon quest
quasi wedge
#

COMEBACK WHAT IS THATA

neon quest
#

The rat

quasi wedge
#

Ohh ok

neon quest
neon quest
neon quest
#

Can I be serious for a moment

quasi wedge
#

Sure

neon quest
#

If in the 1/1000 chance they choose to remake PAC-MAN Stadium/NAMCO Circuit, they are going to need an ARMY of modellers and such to remake it

#

Have you seen the amount of detail the track has????

#

One of the most visually stunning MK tracks EVER

quasi wedge
#

me who thought you were gonna say something deep and introspective

neon quest
#

LMAO

#

But yeah, I do recommend one change they make

#

REMOVE THAT UGLY ASS PAC MAN STATUE

#

LIKE LOOK AT THAT

#

Actually, funnily enough

#

Both these tracks are my picks for AGPDX reps lmao

neon quest
#

OH MY GOD

#

I just thought

#

I haven't thought of what retro battle courses there will be lmao

#

If I had to choose from every game

quasi wedge
#

Uhhh

#

Block fort

#

N64

neon quest
#

SNES Battle Course 2
N64 Double Deck (Would've chosen Block Fort but it already exists in DS)
GBA Battle Course 4
GCN Block City
DS Tart Top
Wii Funky Stadium or Delfino Pier, I'm torn between them
3DS Honeybee Hive
Switch Dragon Palace

slate orbit
#

Why not

#

All of them

neon quest
#

Tell me you wanna play on SNES Battle Course 4

quasi wedge
#

Real

quasi wedge
#

Done

slate orbit
quasi wedge
#

Now what?

neon quest
#

Lmao

#

It's just my least favourite of the whole series

#

Because it is HUGE

slate orbit
#

Git gud

Gwen

#

It was in MKWii

slate orbit
#

Git gud

neon quest
slate orbit
#

Petite rat

#

Still bigger than comeback tho

quasi wedge
#

Petite tiny little microscopic comeback

slate orbit
#

So small it's unfair

quasi wedge
#

Comeback would have to clone himself and form a tower of comebacks so he can reach the steering wheel

#

Maybe that’s why comeback always wins there’s like 500 comebacks all working together to win

slate orbit
#

Comeback is so small that a pebble looks like a toyota

neon quest
#

Æ

slate orbit
#

What?

#

Sorry I can't hear you

#

You're too small

quasi wedge
#

Some of them jump off the kart onto other peoples to mess with them

neon quest
slate orbit
#

That's why I fall on SNES rr

quasi wedge
#

Definitely

slate orbit
#

Comeback hitting my brakes

quasi wedge
#

Mhm

#

(Denial)

neon quest
#

I am so torn on choosing a Wii battle course lmao

#

Wii was such a shit battle mode but the courses were PEAK

#

Hence why I legitimately can't decide on Funky Stadium or Delfino Pier

#

Hell, add in Block Plaza and I'm even more torn

quasi wedge
#

Funky stadium

#

Delfino pier is awesome but it wouldn’t work with underwater driving

neon quest
#

That's what I was thinking, the whole mechanic would kinda get removed

#

Same way with MK7 and DS Palm Shore

#

But the problem with Funky Stadium is that it is MASSIVE

#

So it's rather hard to hit anyone

#

That's actually odd lmao

#

Out of my 3 candidates, only 1 of them has no problems

#

Block Plaza

#

It's not too big, plus the alleyway design taken from GCN Block City and N64 Block Fort makes for interesting plays

#

AND the statues and walls fall down, making it more likely for you to fall

#

Funky Stadium is too big, Delfino Pier's main gimmick is made redundant

#

But Wii Block Plaza might actually be the best Wii candidate lmao

#

Which does mean for GCN, I'll have to pick another choice

#

I'll go with Tilt-a-Kart for its unique tilting gimmick!

Sadly I'm gonna have my birthday party on the 19th

Freaky karts the freaky version

Erm

#

What the flip

neon quest

The fact no-one mentioned how I got Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline's name wrong goes to show how little people care about the track lmao

Literally all my mates that I sent it to never pointed it out lmao

silver horizon
neon quest
mystic raven
#

This is maybe a random question but do y’all think that the original final lap fanfare is better or the mk 7 new final lap fanfare is better

neon quest
mystic raven
#

No the original melodie that was in snes to Wii

neon quest
#

Ah, thing is

#

7's final lap fanfare is an odd one

#

Because it's a remix of specifically 64's final lap fanfare

mystic raven
#

Yes

#

The original is better in my opinion because it adds more to the chaos

neon quest
#

You mean the same one used in (inhale) Super Mario Kart, Super Circuit, Double Dash, Arcade GP, DS, Arcade GP 2, Wii, Arcade GP DX, 8, and 8 Deluxe?

#

Yes

#

Because DAMN, Double Dash and Wii's in particular are pure adrenaline

#

EVEN ARCADE GP DX

#

I think 64's fits really well with the "old-timey" aesthetic it was going for

#

And 7's just added to the game's identity crisis

slate orbit
neon quest
#

I feel like 7 wanted to be MKWii for the 3DS but also wanted to be it's own thing while straight-up porting it's retro music that Wii ALREADY USED and lack so many things like VS Mode due to it's rushed development

mystic raven
#

Double dash is the most unique I think I personally
I think 7 ruined the theme

mystic raven
#

Which do y’all think is the best?

#

My fav is

neon quest
#

Wii

mystic raven
#

Wii me to

neon quest
#

By a landslide too

quasi wedge
#

uhhhh

#

wii doesnt have the best desert course

#

so

#

8s better

neon quest
#

It is literally the definition of "GET THE FUCK TO THE FINISH LINE, A BLUE SHELL IS GONNA BE SHOT AT ANY SECOND"

mystic raven
#

I like double dash but it’s just a bit out of the ordinary for but not in a bad way

quasi wedge
#

calamari desert on top

mystic raven
quasi wedge
#

CALAMARI DESERT ON TOP FOREVER

neon quest
#

*Kalimari

mystic raven
neon quest
#

Truee

quasi wedge
#

but calamari sounds better...

#

its like the squid

neon quest
#

I know the worst

#

And I think you'll both agree on this one

quasi wedge
#

tour

neon quest
#

Yep lmao

#

Just

#

No

quasi wedge
#

thats not real tho

mystic raven
#

The tour fanfare is nothing

neon quest
#

What is that meant to be

quasi wedge
#

whats the REAL worst

mystic raven
#

It’s just oh it’s the last lap

quasi wedge
#

might be snes tbh

mystic raven
quasi wedge
#

64 gets a lot of complaint but its cool asl

neon quest
quasi wedge
#

ooooh yeah

neon quest
#

It's just kinda

Eh.

mystic raven
#

I’ll send a vid so that we can compare easily

neon quest
quasi wedge
#

fr

mystic raven
#

Would the eel tail alley one count to cuzz it’s technically a final lap song?

neon quest
#

Uhhhhhh

#

No

#

That's just a final lap variation, not really a final lap fanfare

#

Like Big Blue

#

Where the final lap gets a new beat

#

But lemme show y'all something

#

This is actually a really good final lap fanfare from GP DX

quasi wedge
#

arcade...

#

my fav...

mystic raven
quasi wedge
#

which ones better

#

double dash

#

or 64

neon quest
#

Double Dash

mystic raven
#

Double dash

neon quest
#

It's not even close lmao

quasi wedge
#

we all know its 64

mystic raven
#

Which is better
Gba or ds

quasi wedge
#

ds

neon quest
#

DS

mystic raven
quasi wedge
#

b-b-but

#

which one has the best desert course...

neon quest
#

I think 64 as an experience had a lot of influence from 60s-70s real life racing

mystic raven
#

Mk8 or gpdx

quasi wedge
#

8

neon quest
#

Ooooh

quasi wedge
#

thats not a question

mystic raven
neon quest
#

8

#

Yeah, 8's better

#

GP DX kinda felt a bit flat in comparison

mystic raven
#

its jazz fusion that is the staple of racing music in Japan and the composer of 64 used that and created one of the best music in gaming

neon quest
#

Yeye! I think 64 is just such an odd entry

mystic raven
#

It’s changed the franchise in the music way

neon quest
#

Despite being 12th place on my list, I feel as if really has such a unique atmosphere

#

Look at tracks like DK's Jungle Parkway and Bowser's Castle

#

Hell, Frappe Snowland and Choco Mountain

mystic raven
#

It’s has a lot of athmospeheric music to yes

neon quest
#

All these tracks just had that almost ambient atmosphere to them

#

But it somehow works in the chaos of MK

mystic raven
#

It really built the setting of the track

neon quest
#

Yeye

#

ESPECIALLY Bowser's Castle, by far one of the scariest tracks in MK history

#

Up there with SNES Ghost Valley 1, 2 and 3, N64 Banshee Boardwalk and GBA Boo Lake

#

And Wii Bowser's Castle too

mystic raven
neon quest
#

TRUE LMAO

#

But that atmosphere

#

You're just in an abandoned castle surrounded by an endless dark void

#

Completely empty of all life, abandoned for years by Bowser

mystic raven
neon quest
#

YEAH THAT SUCKEDDD

mystic raven
neon quest
#

I really liked the ominous vibe of DS Airship Fortress

neon quest
mystic raven
#

I think dk mountain tried to go a bit more atmospheric instead of musical

neon quest
#

You mean N64 DK's Jungle Parkway

mystic raven
#

No like DD

#

in the double dash version

neon quest
#

Oh! Yeah, true

#

GCN DK Mountain

#

Absolutely

mystic raven
#

I’m starting to wonder now
What is the next music style gonna be for the next Mario kart
Yes it is gonna be jazz fusion but what kind? Cuzz ds and double dash both or vastly different from mk8 dx

neon quest
#

Hmmm

#

I don't really know, actually

#

They could do ANYTHING

mystic raven
#

ALSO I really hope they’re cooking up a double dash mode at Nintendo for the next game where u drive in the double dash mode and you have special character items instead of the usual random items

#

And that they bring dancing when u use a star back from ds

neon quest
#

TRUEEE I'd love if they:

  1. Retained the Karts from 8 Deluxe
  2. Brought back Wii's Bikes with minor modifications
  3. Balanced both with Double Dash's dual-racer mechanics
mystic raven
#

And I’ll tell something else but I gotta do something real quick so hang on

neon quest
#

Ayo?

mystic raven
#

What?

neon quest
#

The thing you were gonna say

mystic raven
#

Sorry uhh

#

I think I had 3 things on my minds
1 how are they gonna make battle mode more compelling and attractive
2 what could they add for new gameplay mechanics
3 what do u think is the best itteration of the star man theme in mk
4 what was ur track prediction for the next game?

#

4 forget 3

neon quest
#
  1. LAST MAN STANDING, YOU WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE NINTENDO IN MK8, BUT YOU FUCKED IT UP RIGHT ON THE FINISH LINE-
  2. Boats because that would make water-based tracks (I.E. AGP Mario Beach/Highway, Wii U Dolphin Shoals and SNES Koopa Beach 1 a lot more open and interesting)
  3. Wii again, it just has so much impact
mystic raven
#

Continuing on the battle mode question
What new game modes could they add?

neon quest
#

The return of Bob-omb Blast

#

I SAID THE REAL BOB-OMB BLAST, NINTENDO-

mystic raven
#

I read the predictions and
I’m not intereley sure

neon quest
#

Yeah, the Arcade GP tracks are a stretch

#

But I mean

#

They've literally ran out of choices

#

Again, 64 is on ONE TRACK

mystic raven
#

Here are the things I find strange:
Banana ruins as a last banana cup track? Not rainbow road gba?
5 tracks? I don’t know why? Could u explain?
And where is dry dry ruins MadzStare

#

And I like the gpdx idea

#

btw my fav track of all time is dry dry ruins

neon quest
#
  1. Kinda harkening back to 3DS DK Jungle being MK8's final track as well as SNES Rainbow Road being a middle-of-the-cup track,
  2. Nintendo are NOT gonna make 96 courses again for this game, so the returning 5 race structure from SMK and GBA could make it's return to make the total track count potentially 60!
quasi wedge
neon quest
#

And 3) Dry Dry Ruins was literally just remade in Tour, very low chance they'll remake it in 9

quasi wedge
#

best desert cpirse

mystic raven
neon quest
#

Oh wow, you're actually right lmao

#

Every single desert track has been remade

quasi wedge
#

so thats why we need kalamari desert

#

youre missing a train course too

#

we need a train course

neon quest
#

It has been in 3 games in a row

mystic raven
#

BUT the best one wasn’t done justice

neon quest
#

Trueee

#

Hell, thinking about it

mystic raven
neon quest
#

They may continue like Tour never happened

quasi wedge
quasi wedge
mystic raven
neon quest
#

I dunno, that's up to them

#

But if you're asking me

#

They are DEFINITELY counting Tour as a mainline game

mystic raven
#

FUCK

neon quest
#

But take that with a grain of salt

#

Like I am

mystic raven
#

Welp Lets salute the lost tracks

neon quest
#

You never know what they could pull

mystic raven
#

Mushroom bridge

#

Lakeside park

#

Dry dry ruins

neon quest
#

Just aaaa

mystic raven
#

Gba bowser castle 4

#

You will be missed

mystic raven
mystic raven
#

AND THERE ARE MORE TRAINS

#

Kay night

quasi wedge
#

THOSE ARE SUBWAYS NOT TRAINS

smoky sphinx
#

Im so happy i got mario kart

#

Again

neon quest
#

Ayo?

#

Again?

smoky sphinx
#

I traded it in

#

I was a moron

#

And im still one

#

But im smarter

#

Therefore

#

I got it plus the booster pass like 2 weeks later

neon quest
#

LMAO niceee

neon quest
#

DS Desert Hills is a good track

#

And people who say it isn't just hate it for the winding section

slate orbit
#

Me who's never played it

neon quest
#

Have you played Wii

slate orbit
#

Nope

mystic raven
neon quest
#

Huh

slate orbit
#

I haven't played 64 ds and wii

neon quest
#

Basically, it's if the SMB3 desert stages was a track

#

Using pyramids and architecture reminiscent of those seen in SMB3's desert world with the most obvious nod being the debut of the Angry Sun

#

Who will spit leaping fire balls (that were changed to Fire Snakes in Wii's rendition of the track reused from Grumble Volcano) onto the track

#

It's a really decent desert track

#

I do like how the twisting turns allow for you to get a good grip of desert terrain

mystic raven
#

It’s also very fun to just neglect the track and turn on creative mode and jump over the track

neon quest
#

That's such a good shortcut too lmao

#

Using a mushroom and hopping on the first dune allows you to skip a corner

#

Unfortunately, this track is rather disliked for the aforementioned twisting turn section

mystic raven
#

That’s just a skill issue

neon quest
#

Heavyweight vehicles/characters such as Bowser + Tyrant, DK + Rambi Rider and Wario + Brute will suffer a bit due to the tough impact of the sand

mystic raven
#

Along the whole community

neon quest
#

Yeah, should've just done what I did

#

And play as Dry Bones-

#

Seriously though, this track is Dry Bone's race to win

mystic raven
#

Dessert hills could go hard with the new supper bounce glitch

neon quest
#

True

#

Though, I should give honourable mentions to Wii on that matter for having one of the oddest glitch shortcuts in MK history

#

As Troy explains, CTGP-R banned this shortcut and removed it from the game via modding

#

Because of how extremely overpowered it is if it gets abused

#

Because 12th place could snag a 12th place item (I.E. Shock, Golden Mushroom, Star or Bullet Bill) and suddenly glitch into 1st place with said item

#

Not very fun, as you could guess

neon quest
#

Favourite and least favourite tracks in MK games

#

The hardest ones to decide on were Wii and 7

#

64 rainbow road is a hot take

neon quest
#

4 minutes

#

Also the fact that it kinda does

Nothing

#

It's just here

#

Very long, drawn out track

Tiny petite little comeback has a tiny petite little attention span…

neon quest
#

Yeahhhh butttt

#

I dunno, I feel like all the other tracks have a lot of stuff going for them

quasi wedge
#

It’s a gauntlet to get through

neon quest
#

All Rainbow Road has is that it's the final track of the game

quasi wedge
#

Wait

#

you did not put koopa cape first in wii

neon quest
#

Yep, I love Wii Koopa Cape

quasi wedge
#

koopa cape is good but it’s not that good 😭😭

neon quest
#

It has so much personality to it

#

And the idea of a water-slide based track is amazing

#

It's just a really fun track!

#

That was murdered in 7 and Tour

mystic raven
neon quest
#

YESSS

#

I was actually fairly stumped with 64

#

Because they're either too simple or too large to enjoy

#

Like, they're enjoyable, yes, but they don't really leave a lasting impression

#

Until Choco Mountain rolls around

mystic raven
#

Choco mountain music got me like:

That's where the two of em have been sending gifs

Nope

#

I can't send them for some reason

quasi wedge
#

You can

#

neon quest
#

Nah, they're all blackened out

quasi wedge
#

Weird

neon quest
#

No one questioning my MKDS choices makes me happy

slate orbit
#

i haven't played mkds so I can't say

neon quest
#

Oh yeah lmao

quasi wedge
#

im just confused why kalamari desert isn’t first on every possible game

neon quest
#

LMAO if I had to give honourable mentions, N64 Kalimari Desert for MK7 would get a mention

#

I just really like it's 7 iteration

#

So soothing, nostalgic and calm

#

But N64 Koopa Troopa Beach is such a good retro

#

I don't think I've ever said it before, but I'm a sucker for beach tracks

#

SNES Koopa Beach 2 from MKDS, N64 Koopa Troopa Beach from MK7, Wii Koopa Cape in it's original form

#

I'm even a fan of DS Cheep Cheep Beach and GCN Peach Beach

neon quest
#

Everyone talks about how odd the Thundercloud item is

#

Nobody talks about how it was an Arcade GP item

quasi wedge
#

WHY IS SKY HIGH SUNDAY WORST

#

That’s like my favourite 😍

neon quest
#

BECAUSE IT SUCKS

#

IT'S A GLORIFIED EXCITEBIKE ARENA

quasi wedge
#

ITS ABSOLUTE FIRE

neon quest
#

I WANT TO SET IT ON FIRE AND WATCH IT MELT INTO OBLIVION

NUH UH

#

ITS BETTER THAN DRAGON MIDWAY

WHATTTTT

smoky sphinx

But wii rainbow road out plays them all

neon quest
#

That is true lmao

#

EXCEPT NO IT'S NOT

#

Big Blue is peak

quasi wedge
#

Not kalamari desert

smoky sphinx
neon quest
#

I think I can comfortably say that Big Blue is the best track in MK history

#

It just does everything right

#

Everything you would want in an MK track is right here

smoky sphinx
#

Ok so question

slate orbit
#

It says you're offline if it's in sleep mode

quasi wedge
#

I turned it on occasionally to check smth so idk

neon quest
#

I've made a decision

#

Figure-8 Circuit is now my least favourite MKDS track

quasi wedge
#

That’s my fav wym

neon quest
#

No it's not lmao

#

Kinda realised that DS Yoshi Falls is a better track

#

Because the aesthetics are really nice

scarlet rivet
#

I just like Yoshi Falls because of my years with MKWii

neon quest
#

Truee, the jump ramps made it so much better

scarlet rivet
#

idk why, but I wash never brave enough to drive over the water.

neon quest
#

Uhh, just gonna tell you right now

#

The 2nd waterfall is useless lmao

#

The 1st is a good risk and reward feature where being risky can make you go ahead into the pack, but you miss items and might get pushed off

#

The 3rd is similar but item boxes are falling down the water

#

The 2nd is useless

#

Not even as a shortcut

scarlet rivet
#

I never got any boxes at the 3rd, I always messed that up

neon quest
#

Best advice I can give for it is to drift on it but turn the opposite direction while you do

#

You'll be less effected by the water current

scarlet rivet
#

really!?

neon quest
#

Yeah!

scarlet rivet
#

dang, should have joined the server much earlier, here are so much infos I never knew about.

neon quest
#

Yeah, a lot of talented people here!

scarlet rivet
#

one of them right in front of me

neon quest
#

Hehehehe

#

But yeah, DS Yoshi Falls is still a pretty meh track

#

There's a reason Yoshi didn't get a new track until Tour in 2023

scarlet rivet
#

omg, right ... just remakes over and over

neon quest
#

Yeah, there is the odd exception with Yoshi Park 1 and 2 from Arcade GP 2, however

scarlet rivet
#

they don't really count to the mainline ( in my opinion )

neon quest
#

Yeah, the Arcade games are super weird

#

I REALLY want some representation in the next game because they have basically ran out of choices lmao

scarlet rivet
#

yeah, most of the tracks ever extisted are now here, except for the fan fav's of course

neon quest
#

Yeahh, Tour and the BCP have basically put them into a gridlock

#

They have very minimum choices left

#

Because MK7 got wiped out ALMOST completely

scarlet rivet
#

just the Wuhu tracks left, right

neon quest
#

Yep

scarlet rivet
#

they could have been remaked actually

neon quest
#

They were actually found in MKT's code after a datamine happened, but were presumably cut due to limitations of Tour's game engine

scarlet rivet
#

bro, you learned the lore of Mariokart to 110%

neon quest
#

Basically lmao

#

I just really really really REALLY want Arcade GP rep

#

Because it is so due

scarlet rivet
#

idk

#

maybe

neon quest
#

Hell, I even made a prediction I'm still working on

scarlet rivet
#

when I hear prediction, damn I don't like it... but when you say prediction it feels different

neon quest
#

This is how it currently looks

scarlet rivet
#

and this is for the new mk , right ... not bad, I couldn't do it better

neon quest
#

Yeah, thing is I did something I don't think anyone else has done before

#

Simply put, Nintendo are NOT gonna make 96 retro tracks again

#

Not a chance in hell, that would take more than a decade

#

So, to compensate

#

How about they return to SMK and Super Circuit and have 5 races per cup

quasi wedge
scarlet rivet
#

ohhhh, would feel weird

#

but ok

quasi wedge
#

It reminds me of my 2 fav mariokart courses from 8

neon quest
#

Yeah, again, last time it happened was SC

quasi wedge
#

Excitebike arena and sky high sundae

neon quest
scarlet rivet
#

🤣

#

why does this remind you?

neon quest
#

I hate Excitebike Arena and Sky High Sundae

#

They SUCK

quasi wedge
#

They’re awesome

#

Almost as good as the best mariokart course to ever exist

#

On top of being the best desert courses

#

kalamari desert

scarlet rivet
#

Nintendo didn't even managed to spell sunday correctly

neon quest
#

KALIMARI DESERT WAS ONLY GOOD IN 7 AND NOWHEN ELSE-

scarlet rivet
#

it's not that bad

neon quest
#

Like, it's an alright track, really cool seeing it return for 7

#

But seeing it again and again and again 3 games in a row is ridiculous

scarlet rivet
#

but the tour and 8 deluxe version ... why are we driving on the track of the fucking TRAIN

neon quest
#

Like, it's a COOL idea

#

But they look kinda bad aesthetically

#

It is cool, though, don't get me wrong

#

Driving on the train track is a fun idea

#

But I think it's that retro track fatigue

scarlet rivet
#

yup

neon quest
#

Again, THREE GAMES IN A ROW

#

WHILE WII TOAD'S FACTORY HAS NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN

#

SINCE 2008-

scarlet rivet
#

I still here the music in my ear ... literally I'm just playing it.

neon quest
#

Toad's Factory?

scarlet rivet
#

yeah, not on an instrument if you think that

neon quest
#

Oh lmao

scarlet rivet
#

I can't play music ( not good , i tried )

neon quest
#

Nah, I can't either lmao

scarlet rivet
#

but Luigi/Mario Circuit from Wii, I can play that a bit

neon quest
#

Oh nice

#

I really like both tracks lmao

#

Luigi Circuit is a great beginner track and Mario Circuit is a neat follow-up

scarlet rivet
#

some people say Luigi Circuit is too boring, but it's one of my fav's

neon quest
#

I really like it! It's also great in the aspect of Wii being the first game with bikes

#

The large turns allow for you to get a hold of how bikes work

scarlet rivet
#

it was perfect... but the bikes were broken af

neon quest
#

Trueee

#

I do wish wheelies returned in the next game, though

scarlet rivet
#

literally what I wanted to say

neon quest
#

YE

#

I feel like they could balance them with karts

scarlet rivet
#

Karts can make wheely too

quasi wedge
#

BEST OF EVERY ONE

#

BEST OF EVERY SINGLE COURSE

neon quest
scarlet rivet
#

ohh, nice idea

#

Wait... Phenomenal in every single game, nah man, just in 64

neon quest
#

What if we got 3 new classes of karts

scarlet rivet
#

?

neon quest
#

Well, put simply, there's some kart body parts that could be their very own vehicle class

#

Remember the Steel Diver from MK8?

#

A really cool submarine based off the game series of the same name

scarlet rivet
#

oh, this one, yeah

neon quest
#

What if we got a Submarine class

#

Vehicles that get various stat boosts changes underwater more powerful than the average water stat changes as well as MK7's diving boost

scarlet rivet
#

damn, thats nice

#

normal people never can get such great ideas

neon quest
#

LMAO

#

Truee, but everyone has a load of cool ideas

scarlet rivet
#

yeah maybe, but I never hear from them

neon quest
#

Yeah, it's kinda rare to see them get recommended on YouTube and such

#

You'd have to manually search em up

#

I do see new MK item concepts which are fun as hell

#

Someone came up with the idea for the "Special Crown"

#

That crown icon from the Special Cup

scarlet rivet
#

what should that do?

neon quest
#

Someone had the idea of when you get it, using it will boost all of your stats to the maximum for a limited amount of time

#

I really like that idea, still so weird we still don't have an item based off the crown

scarlet rivet
#

like the star, but even better

neon quest
#

Kinda, just without the invincibility

scarlet rivet
#

yeah, forgot about that part.

#

your opinion to the thundercloud?

neon quest
#

Ok, so, Thundercloud

#

First thing I should mention is that the Thundercloud is a series first

#

Because it is the first (and at this point ONLY) item in MK history to have been taken from Arcade GP

scarlet rivet
#

WHAT!

neon quest
#

No kidding either, it was first an Arcade GP item that was reused in Wii

#

In Arcade GP, it just temporarily slowed down your kart

scarlet rivet
#

boi thats cool

neon quest
#

Hell yeah

#

But the TC itself

#

I'd love it to return with 1 change

#

When you get it in your item slot, it shouldn't start counting down immediately and giving you increased speed, acceleration and off-road immunity like it did in Wii

#

Instead, I want the Thundercloud to activate when it is passed to another racer

#

Only then does the countdown begin and the temporary stat boosts come into effect

scarlet rivet
#

what, if you do not share it?

neon quest
#

If you don't share it, then it just stays above your kart

#

Think of this modification as turning the Thundercloud onto a "warning item"

#

Usually, you'd want to bump racers off track or out of the way of an item box, but when that cloud is above your head, people are gonna fear you and want to stay a million leagues away

#

Adding to the already present fear factor the Thundercloud has

scarlet rivet
#

that is

#

very gooood

neon quest
#

Hell yeah, it's why I love the TC

#

It's an item of FEAR

scarlet rivet
#

I always got into panic when I saw someone with the TC

neon quest
#

Exactly

#

As for Wii's other items, I would like to keep them both too

#

Again, with minor modifications

scarlet rivet
#

of course

neon quest
#

For the Mega Mushroom, I think 1) certain strong items (I.E. Bob-omb, Super Horn) should be able to knock over a Mega Mushroom user much like how the Bullet Bill and Star already do, and 2) the Mega Mushroom should be given the ability to destroy certain obstacles the Star can't (I.E. trees)

#

And for the POW Block, honestly, keep it the same lmao

#

It was a really good item

#

EXCEPT with the reinstalled Double Dash double items, it should only wipe out the item in every racer's primary slot, the secondary item slot should remain untouched

scarlet rivet
#

omg, the double dash, i loved it

#

personally I want : Mariokart Triple terror ... or something like that.

neon quest
#

Ehhh, 3 items would be HELL lmao

scarlet rivet
#

imagine baby park

neon quest
#

DO IT

scarlet rivet
#

would be funny af

neon quest
#

TRUE

scarlet rivet
#

i guess we talked about it already, but what is your favourite mk track ( mainline )

neon quest
#

Wii U Big Blue

#

The PEAK of MK tracks, an absolute shining example of what a Mario Kart track should be

scarlet rivet
#

yeah

#

I can not really decide what my fav track is

neon quest
#

You got any standouts?

scarlet rivet
#

toads factory, luigi circuit and maple treeway

neon quest
#

Good choices

scarlet rivet
#

you can not do anything wrong with wii tracks

neon quest
#

TRUE

#

Not a single Wii track flops

#

All of them are so good

scarlet rivet
#

and it has the most memorable music

neon quest
#

TRUE

scarlet rivet
#

You know, the Toads factory music gives me the feeling of a disney villain, just a little bit

neon quest
#

How Toad's Factory hasn't been remade ONCE is beyond me

scarlet rivet
#

but toad circuit

#

thanks

#

and a useless amount of tour tracks

neon quest
#

Tour's in such a weird position

#

Because the only track it has that hasn't been remade/ported is Piranha Plant Pipeline

And tell me Dolphin Shoals and Yoshi's Island came from the same game

#

Nope, I refuse

silver horizon
#

Explain

neon quest
#

Very simple

#

Wave 6 reveal

#

Piranha Plant Cove

#

In-game, it's stated as a new track

#

But in the reveal trailer, it's labelled as a Tour track

silver horizon
#

I know PPC is a tour course.

slate orbit

Even Nintendo wants to forget about tour

silver horizon

Trust me I've played it

scarlet rivet

we all played this ... thing

#

weird game...

silver horizon

But no where has Yoshi's Island nor Squeaky clean sprint EVER appeared in Tour

slate orbit
#

I played the tour tutorial

#

Never did an actual race

neon quest
#

I'm sorry, all the tracks in the BCP considered "new" are just Tour tracks that were put into MK8D before Tour as a marketing strategy

MK8D is Nintendo's best selling game ever

Mk9 ain't coming soon

Can't wait for mk8D U
