Every MARIO KART 8 COURSE Ranked from Worst to Best

everybody has a game that they play with their friends and family members who are not really Gamers and can still have a really good time for some it's FIFA others Smash Bros but for me and my family it's always been Mario Kart I have so many great memories playing Mario Kart split screen with my brothers and I've done this since I was a child and Mario Kart 8 in particular is a game that we got so many hours out of and a couple months ago they released the final DLC pack which has made Mario Kart 8 the most ridiculously big Mario Kart game ever it has 96 tracks you heard me 96 so as a huge fan of marioart I thought it would be fun to rank all 96 tracks from worst to best this video is a lot longer than I thought it would be okay and to make this ranking go a little bit easier I will be putting them in individual tier lists from F tier all the way to S tier and for each map I'll explain things I like and dislike and kind of the reason why they belong in those tiers please know that if your favorite map is on the lower end or your least favorite map is on the higher end this is just my opinion and it's Mario Kart it's not that deep but without further Ado let's rank every single Mario Kart track from worst to best fdar tracks are all extremely forgettable boring and or pointless additions to the game their existence if they just disappeared nobody would care about and now our worst of the 96 tracks is Mario Kart Circuit 3 from the Super Nintendo it's obvious why this is here it's the most pointless DLC ever and such a boring plain ass basic track with no sauce no fun and just no point Nintendo you charged people to play this track that should be a crime it doesn't really get easier for the Super Nintendo remix on this list so if you're a big fan of the Super Nintendo game I'm sorry but this is by far the worst Super Nintendo track and easily the worst track of this entire game why they got to do Mario so dirty dut planes this track is so plain huh see what I did there the moles that pop out they're really carrying this track on their backs cuz otherwise it's easily one of the most forgettable tracks ever there's not even Donuts I already forgot about it and I know you did too so don't act like what why no you know why this map sucks next up is snowland this is easily the worst of the snow Maps it doesn't really do anything too cool with the snow elements and ends up just being a short and generic track kind of similar to the Super Nintendo the GBA tracks don't really shine in this game that much either they're very flat and I know they try to do some creative stuff later with some of the tracks but in general the GBA remakes are kind of a Miss for me toad circuit when I played this track I was underwhelmed then I was even more disappointed when I found out that this was a remake of a map why this track what does it offer it has nothing unique about it I was baffled but then I saw the big toad in the sky and then I understood everything not just about this game but the world thank you Toad yeah it's a bad track Mar Mario circuit GBA this map is so lame that they had to put part of the track in the sky for no reason except to sort of spice it up a bit otherwise it looks and feels like one of those tracks you go to when you go go-karting in real life but those are way more fun because you're doing that in real life and like I said before a lot of these GBA tracks are like this they're just really plain and boring yeah Mario is the king of bad tracks it sucks that he is outshined by everyone else in his own game it happens almost every time sunset Wilds This is Just Cars Land from Disney but worse no idea why this was remade but I do love them dancing shy guys okay those guys they're literally the only redeeming thing about this lame track okay and I guess that the sunset looks kind of nice but otherwise nobody cares about this track next up is dry dry desert the only redeeming part about this track is that the pillars fall and then you can do these tricks off of them because otherwise this is very one note and the definition of a bad desert map I guess the Oasis part is cool but then again it makes you feel sluggish and the little vent things don't really work the way you want them to so that also takes away some points from it it's such a weak track Mario circuit DS of all Ds tracks they could have remade they ended up remaking this boring track and it's the fourth Mario circuit to be added to this game who asked for this at this point you may think I'm the number one Mario circuit hater because I am but this is ridiculous it has nothing memorable about it and I'm even more pissed that it took a remake slot from many better choices Airship Fortress comes to mind Luigi's Mansion but yeah I'm done talking about Mario circuits for now there's still one more which we'll talk about a little bit later so let's move on moooo Meadows this is actually a remake from the Wii and it's as vanilla as a track can get the moooo are really cute when they're not ramming your cart and I like that you can do tricks off the mole Hills but holy cow it's really just a basic circle of a track isn't it yep just a circle it's just a circle Sky Garden GBA this track is boring there's better maps that are in the sky and even those aren't that great but at least they have like airships or bullet bills this is just clouds and a few leaves that's it I will say though it is kind of cool that it's like a Jack in the beant stock aesthetic but it uh it's putting me to sleep Let's uh move on the D tier tracks they're pretty much like the F tier tracks but with like a little bit more things that I enjoy about them they're still bad tracks though Royal Raceway I like that there's bells and you can see the castle but otherwise I don't understand why they remade this track instead of other Nintendo 64 tracks this one has no sauce sauceless still it is a decent looking track and I do love them Bells but even as a kid playing this track I didn't even like it so it hasn't aged well chees land it's like if you took one of those bad desert tracks and said what if it's cheese though it's pretty dumb and it's also very one note it's not that bad for a gba remake in fact I didn't even realize it was a gba remake but there are better remakes from the Game Boy Advance later in this list the only nice thing I have to say about this map is that it reminds me of Wallace and grommet and their obsession with cheese you know when they go to the moon so that's a nice thought to have because otherwise it's a cheesy ass track now we got water park I'm going to be honest I don't like the underwater tracks the cars get all muffled and it's just overall pretty mediocre there are so many other tracks that do the underwater part a little bit better and in water park in particular it just feels like I missed opportunity to have a water slide and just more creativity than just underwater things Park it's just disappointing to call yourself water park but the parts where you're underwater kind of suck sherbet land if you don't fall off the top which can happen because you may think I don't want to fall and falling is bad then this is one of the most boring tracks but if you do fall it has a lot more character a lot more depth I just wish it was more like the underground areas 100% of the time but it's not and there's just better snowy maps that get the vibe down you know Rosalina's ice World okay so for the longest time I thought this was also sherbet land I would get them confused because they're just that lame eh it's like slightly better than it because of the layout being just a little bit more Dynamic but it's also just kind of a boring ice track and there's just better ones coming up later Daisy circuit this is as forgettable as Daisy herself and it's only here to remind us that she never deserves a track outside of her Cruiser and should never get another track ever again seriously they had so many better options like I said before Luigi's Mansion banshe Boardwalk Airship Fortress which I'm probably not going to mention again for the rest of this video that's a lie I mention it a lot but this like Daisy go away bone dry Dunes I don't usually like the desert tracks but this one's deep orange is just a bit nicer on the eyes but as a track it's very simple a little too simple you know at least you can drive on the bones that's probably the best part about this whole track the bones Mario Kart Stadium this is a pretty uh me map mostly we forgot it existed but that's most Mario tracks to be honest so so besides that this one at least introduces the players to the zero gravity mechanic and correct me if I'm wrong but this might be the first Mario track at night which is pretty nice I'm not 100% sure if this is considered a Mario Track because it seems to be more of a general Mario Kart track so for once I don't think it's Mario's fault here it's just a little basic marry Mountain Santa goes around dropping off coins and that's the only really memorable part that I like about this track if it was closer to Christmas time when I was making this list I think I would rank it higher but but the rest of the year it's definitely a d tier track sorry Santa please don't put me on the naughty list and he did I'm getting coal rock rock mountain half of this map you just fly through so you kind of don't really get to enjoy the scenery we the best part is the rock slide area but then after that you just fly again if it was a little bit more grounded it would have been better but it's just kind of sad that you miss out on the entire track you're always in the sky and that's not really that fun Neo Bowser City it's a futuristic city kind of like cyber Punk but you know not as cool I don't know what Bowser has to do with it this track is like a worst f-zero track and there significantly better city maps especially in the DLC but also you don't even drive through the city for being Neo Bowser City you're on this kind of plane Road the whole time the cars in the background go through these cooler tube things I wanted to drive through the new streets and see what the city's like you know the whole track's a mess and very drab to look at D tier easily Bowser's Castle from the Super Nintendo this should be called outside of Bowser's Castle because you're never even in the castle it's false advertising yeah these Super Nintendo remakes they're just not as Dynamic and while I'm glad they exist I'm just not really fond of them with one exception much later down the line but yeah they're not even in the castle it's a lie this track's a lie Sky High Sunday I wanted to like this track but it's held back by the fact that there's Parts where you drive and you have no clue if you'll land or not also there's almost too much vibrant colors it's rough in the eyes it's funny because there's another sweets themed track that came in the original game it just does everything this track does a little bit better so it feels like a pretty pointless track moon view Highway this is one of the few maps that feature a ton of other cars on the track however this is just the worst toads Turnpike mixed with shroom Ridge the one defining feature is that there are these B bomb cars that blow up that's pretty cool but besides that it's just the worst version of those two tracks next up is Dolphin Sholes this map is 90% underwater but at least that makes sense here you ride on an eel you can't do that above water like I said before I'm not really a big fan of these water maps and I much prefer other water Maps later but the real reason why I don't like this is there's not enough Dolphins it's called dolphin trolls and I saw a dolphin they could call this cheap cheap shs or big eel alley but dolphin shs it's not enough Dolphins pissed me off Yoshi's Island it's a track I feel like Yoshi's Island could have been so much more epic and also could have went all in on the story book look or even the wool look because it just feels like a pretty basic track unfortunately I do love that that big purple guy is here think it's like NEP noot love them thankfully Yoshi has significantly better tracks but like this was their opportunity to like go all in on the aesthetic you know what I mean Riverside Park GBA it's an okay track just a basic GBA remake again I do enjoy the colors and the aesthetic and for a gba track it's not flat at all but the thing that saves it is these stupid piranha plant guys just dancing around looking all goofy I love them everything seats here and above definitely deserves to be in this game but there are just elements in these tracks that hold them back from being great or there are just way better versions of the same style of track Animal Crossing if you're a fan of Animal Crossing it's a cute map but honestly it ends up being mostly driving through empty Forest areas so for an Animal Crossing Track it should have had a bit more Easter eggs and be a little bit more interesting outside of the Town itself which you're not in for that long it's it's pretty disappointing but one of the best parts about it is that they do make it so it has unique sound effects when you get coins and when you hit the item [Music] blocks so that's neat DK jungle aesthetically this is a great looking track the music [Music] slaps and I love the big random flower okay but it's very boring there's no challenge there's no gimmick there's nothing really memorable about it I think Donkey Kong has way better tracks than this so you can live without this one Waluigi Stadium this feels like if Wario had an extra stadium and then just felt bad for Waluigi so he just gave him the extra stadium and slapped his name on it Waluigi you deserve better and while it's not complete F tier crap it's painfully uninspired especially when Wario has a better stadium that we'll talk about later just stick to pinball and Tennis Waluigi stadiums they're not your thing man we have our first tour track Athens Dash and for those of you that don't know Mario Kart tour is a mobile Mario Kart game so yes we got some mobile Mario kart tracks remade in the DLC and these tracks are from all around the world and they all have a gimmick where every lap is slightly different or tweaked around you'll see what I mean this is one of the most confusing tracks ever made it's not as clear as the other tour tracks the floor kind of melds with the sides that you're not supposed to be on sometimes it feels like you're brought to do a jump into like a hole and then you're like wait that's not the right hole it's just not really clear and if it wasn't for its theme it would definitely be rated even lower but come on I'm a sucker for the Greek theme it's fun to drive through historical monuments what can I say I'm a nerd but yeah this is not a hero this is a zero Mario circuit from Mario Kart 8 this track can be a little bit confusing when you like really think about it just look at it it's like a figure 8 but it's more like a figure Infinity it took me like 5 minutes just looking at it to finally realize what I was seeing anyways for being the eight that's featured in the Mario Kart 8 symbol it gets extra points but let's be honest here it's basic and unlike most Mario circuit tracks this has some spice to it m Mia good job Mario you did good but for stupid people like me you will get enjoyment just looking at the mini map what is going on it's a great way to show players the weird mechanics that exist in Mario Kart 8 and it's easily the best Mario Track in this entire game but it's still C TI here which just proves that Mario you don't really have good tracks sorry Twisted Mansion this map was so close to feeling like a banger spooky map and all the stuff in the Mansion is awesome especially the rug that warps so you can boost off of it but then for some reason a large portion of the track is randomly in a sewer what what what does that have to do with the Mansion if it was more mansion and less dead fishes this could have been ranked a lot higher but unfortunately all it does is remind me that Luigi's Mansion is not in this game so close Mount Wario this is one of of the few one big lap tracks meaning that you just keep going down and down until the end without repeating the same Loop and it's kind of the weakest one don't get me wrong going down a huge mountain through caves and snow is fine but also I really don't like The Forest Part it's a bit messy to get through but in the end it has this snowboarding dream so that's kind of nice they're just better snowboarding Maps which I know sounds very specific but you'll see later Cloud top cruise this map wants to be Airship Fortress so bad and since we will never get that in this game it's the closest we'll get to it and it's okay the part in the clouds is my favorite part with the electricity but besides that it's just kind of your typical in the sky cloud track nothing too special or cool to talk about Koopa Cape it's what water park could have and should have been and it's still just okay I think it's the only Koopa themed track so that's kind of a cool unique aspect about it but I like water slides what can I say Sydney Sprint besides the Sydney Opera House part which is pretty cool the rest of this track is a pretty forgettable C City it's still cool that you backtrack onto the same area in Reverse but other tour tracks just do that aspect even better I might have rated it higher if i' been to Australia so unfortunately I can't really pinpoint specific areas in Australia and that might be Australia's fault not my fault arar rainbow road from Mario Kart 8 okay so I know I'm going to get some hate but I just don't like this version of rainbow road that much especially when there's way better rainbow roads it's just super robotic and less Whimsical it loses a lot of its charm don't get me wrong for a space trap it's nice but as a rainbow road it doesn't feel magical also if I'm not falling off every 2 seconds can it really be considered a true Rainbow Road come on electrod doome this track has fun music and a simple gimmick being that your cart mix the music through the track but there's a track later that has the same gimmick but does it so much better and although it's very colorful it's kind of weirdly plain looking is that just me but still it's pretty nice to drive on regardless boo Lake GBA for a Game Boy advanced track it's very well done the underwater sections make you feel like you're in a sunken ship it reminds me of Banshee Boardwalk but a little bit worse they can never replace you Banshee Boardwalk but what really holds it back is that it's super short and a little bit too plain when they could have added more booze as obstacles it would definitely make it feel more Alive come on it's boo Lake rainbow road for the Wii while this is definitely more of a rainbow Road Track complete with me falling off a bunch for a Rainbow Road Track it's pretty basic it doesn't really offer that much in the background or even on the track it's just it's not bad by any means but it's probably the most mid Rainbow Road for sure sweet sweet Canyon have you ever watched Wreck-It Ralph well this track feels like it was part of that Sugar Rush game that they play in a good way driving through cake donuts and those safety cones that are ice cream cones it's adorable and fun plus the underwater areas don't overstay their welcome because you're in some soda syrup thing and I guess the track layout is a little bit vanilla overall the theme is delicious also the goofy gingerbread men in the beginning they give me life piranha plant Cove this track is an island adventure you go in and out of the water it's got multiple layouts and tons of cool architecture but I do think that this one being said at night hurt its color scheme more making it feel so blue and kind of boring to look at if it was during the day this could have been an insanely gorgeous Beach track but it's just lacking and piness you know due to the nighttime swim Los Angeles laps as an Angelino myself I you know I'm a little biased I like the track flying through Dodger Stadium and driving through the pier is so cool but I'm also disappointed that this is the one track without any cars in it it's La we are known for traffic also the last lap is all just construction and oil what the hell does that have to do with LA it's a missed opportunity for sure with this track but still I like 2/3 of it shroom Ridge this just the worst toads Turnpike trust me though we'll talk about that track later this one's a little bit Winder and the track itself is kind of land but I do like when there's actual other cars in the way it's really fun and dynamic to drive through especially when you have that surfboard dude that you can drive on oh he's the best never change but yeah it's it's a fine track Bangkok Rush While most of this track is centered around the highways the part that makes it memorable is when you're driving on the boats and I just wish there was more of that and less of the kind of bland city streets this track kind of bangs yeah huh mute City all this track does is remind me that for some reason captain Falcon is not in the Mario Kart games and he forever cannot show us his moves as a track it's fine the track itself does feel reminiscent of f-z but it's also a bit one note the whole way although it is cool that you can see the other part of the track where you're upside down but there is a significantly cooler f-zero track that we'll talk about later and at the top of seats here we have Hyrule circuit the best part about this track is that they replaced coins with rupes and the item boxes do this norise I do wish that there were more references to the game though as this just feels like a generic castle with the master sword and Zelda logos slapped around where's the goofy mask salesman or any of the other races from Hyrule instead it's these generic soldiers like who invited you to the party man as a Legend of Zelda fan it's a bit underwhelming the more you think about it now we're on to B tier they're all tracks that have a bit of sauce and a bit of spice and I think most people will agree that while they're not the best tracks they're good tracks mushroom Gorge I didn't play the Wii Mario Kart game as much as other Mario Kart games but I do remember this track from the Wii and even then I never really got the hype but now that I'm playing it as an adult bouncing on mushrooms is a ton of fun and they're single-handedly carrying this track I kind of wish there were more mushrooms is that weird but overall it's a good track swamp ruins I'm arguably the number one th fan so when I saw that there was a swamp themed track I knew I would be in for a good time and this map is themed like an Indiana Jones ruins complete with a Big Stone roller ready to crush you what I like most about this track is that you have a bunch of alternate routes and shortcuts throughout which does spice up the gameplay but it is also kind of lame that you could just go on the walls and skip the swamps the THS are the star of the show why am I skipping the THS why is that an option it's truly my real gripe cheap cheap beach this is a solid remake from the DS and it's so peaceful and feels like a tropical vacation even the underwater sections are cool to drive-thru one of my only issues is that it does feel a little bit short like the moment you start and end it kind of like oh that's it besides that it's good because what can I say it's fun to drive on the beach Tokyo blur I thought that driving through the streets of Tokyo would be a little bit more like Tokyo Drift but it felt more like a generic City so that was a bit disappointing but still the track itself is a blast and it changes up in a really fun way but this felt more like a San Francisco map and less like a Tokyo map and there's another track that is basically San Francisco which we'll talk about next Toad Harbor this track is basically San Francisco the city you drive through feels so alive with a bunch of toads watching watching on the sidelines and it's like there's a whole story being told in this track and on top of that it has this sick downhill section just like San Francisco and there's also shortcuts and Alternate Routes which make it super memorable and unique there are better City ones but still it's a fun time Sunshine airport driving through an airport in theory should be super boring nobody likes airports and they suck but this is pretty cool you get to drive through the planes you get to drive on the baggage and then you go on the runways and you think you're about to cause 911 part two but then nope it's very simple but I like like it rainbow road for the Super Nintendo so while I don't like most of the Super Nintendo courses this one is the best one it's a very simple version of rainbow road but with the swamps Making Waves that you can jump on it's very Charming yeah I don't think it's anyone's favorite rainbow road but I liked it more than I expected sometimes Simplicity is elegant and this shows that off very well also you can fall off easily which is the Rainbow Road experience so extra points for that Wild Woods this track is gorgeous to look at it's like if Avatar the blue people not Airbender had a Mario Kart map you drive in and out of a tree with a water slide seea water park that's how you make a water slide and most of the time you're actually driving on the side of a tree the gravity thing is kind of wonky but it's cool there's this whole world of shy guys living in the trees it's really a spectacle just a solid map that I personally feel like is underrated choco Mountain growing up I hated this track on Mario Kart 64 so when I played it again I was surprised that it was actually a fun time and I wasn't miserable the whole time it's actually pretty nice there's nothing too special about it but fans of the N64 game will be happy that it returned and is actually holding up and I love its music that's just the win in itself me and choco Mountain are now friends Dragon driftway you drive through a dragon there is nothing else that I need to say okay it's dope as hell Rome of anti driving through the Coliseum and other Roman structures is such a simple idea but putting it at night was a Miss Italy just feels like it would be gorgeous in the daylight especially the fountain well yeah I like the chain Chomps in the Coliseum and the Little Italian things that you notice when you're driving through but it's really held back by being at night it's still a fine track there are better tour tracks though Grumble Volcano this track is just full of things that want to burn you and that's pretty neat the floors crack you drive through a volcanic cave and the actual volcano sends Fireballs your way and there's multiple paths that make it challenging but rewarding I like to think that this is what hell would look like because it's one hell of a course piranha plant slide now this is a slide this feels like the which is so cool you go into the wart pipes in the SS with the piranha plants and unlike Twisted Mansion there's a reason to be in the sores I like that part of this track is just a regular Mario World because cuz that's how it is in the real game you're in a regular Mario Land and then out of nowhere it's I I like this track Singapore Speedway you ever watch crazy Rich Asians that's this track it's a gorgeous City full of life with all the cool Singapore landmarks this ends up feeling less like a track and more like an ad for Singapore I'm still figuring out whether or not I'm buying tickets to go so I guess it worked good job Singapore Daisy Cruiser I remember this track just feeling more hype and Double Dash but here it feels a little bit more lifeless unfortunately I feel like the cruise ship is kind of empty there should be more people some Miis or something you know it's still a great track and any time a game includes a cruise ship as a map it's usually a banger and this is no exception it is just a little small but still a good track London loop I think this captures the essence of London pretty well that was a terrible British accent and it's also just a fun track with a lot of variety The Chain Chomps the drawbridge the background featuring iconic London buildings like Big Ben and the ferris wheel but on top of that it's a great layout ain't it did I use that right ribbon Road this is easily the best of the Game Boy advanced remakes as it just gives it so much more life I love the idea of being a toy in a playroom it reminds me when I was a kid using little Hot Wheels and stuff I do wish there were more interactions with the toys but in general it's just a gorgeous and colorful map with tons of jumps and waves if it just had some more toy interactions this could have been a top tier track for sure still for a Game Boy advanced remake it's pretty good New York minute this really captures the New York energy from the manholes flying up to the glomas walking in Central Park how many of us are tired of the Goombas walking in Central Park would have been amazing to have bystanders yelling like I'm walking here as you hit them but I'm just glad they captured New York City very well even that underpass in the Park section that exists in real life so cool but there's another track that just feels more New York and that's super Bell Subway this is New York driving through the subway around the Train on the side it's a great premise for a track and it works well here trying to dodge the subway while driving right next to it like right on the edge satisfying and apparently the next stop is Yoshi Valley what Yoshi Valley I love this track because it looks like the most confusing mess of a track but when you play it it just makes sense it's always a wild time and it was even crazier back in the 64 days but here it just flows better and feels like a modern design track yeah easily one of my favorite Yoshi tracks but not my favorite Yoshi track which we'll talk about next Yoshi circuit when I was a kid playing the Mario Kart DS remake of this game on the bus I was blown away when I found out that this track was shaped like Yoshi I didn't even notice I was too busy drifting because yes while it's a funny layout it's a drifter's paradise just an overall simple and effective track sure without its goofy design it wouldn't even be that unique and might even be lower tier but come on once you know you know and it's amazing it's so stupid it's genius calamari desert you see this this is how you do a desert track it's a ruding tun and good time and a great remake because you actually get to use the railroad aspect in the last lap as a kid I always wanted to but it just feels like it was pointless because the train would kill you but here that's the fun part not the dying just like the train I do feel like Nintendo kind of already remade this track before with another similar track speaking of which Wario Gold Mine this felt like calamari reimagined before it came as DLC Wario has such quirky tracks and this one is no exception it feels like a roller coaster with all of its big drops and windy Railways there's even a fun side path to take that gives it a little more flare but otherwise its actual layout is a little simple which actually isn't a bad thing for this track because its aesthetic is really pleasing W definitely struck gold with this one a tier tracks are all fantastic and they deserve to come back in Future Mario Kart installments simple enough squeaky clean Sprint as I mentioned before as a child I would use my Hot Wheels and race them and I would definitely do this everywhere including the bathroom so this this felt like my childhood dreams coming true it is so clever but it's also clearly just an ad to sell those Mario Kart live games which didn't work on me because I already have one Nintendo yeah I'm a sucker oh yeah squeaky clean Sprint I love that the toilets water that Sprouts out gives you an alternate route that's just what and I'm also a fan of the fan pushing you a little bit back it's using the environment very well good map Vancouver velocity this track makes me want to visit Vancouver and actually learn how to play hockey it's one of the best snow tracks and it's just a very colorful and Lively environment especially the hockey part that part is just so cool and you go through it multiple times man the Canadians always get the good stuff why don't the Americans get anything cool DK Summit this track is the best snowboarding track now it's a call back for those of you in the back of class keeping notes thank you you're snowboarding down the slopes and it's amazing there's a snowboarding game I grew up with called 1080 if you know you know it feels like that but this track does seem oddly similar to another slightly better DK track that we will talk about next DK Mountain so is this just DK Summit but in the summer it's got the cannon and then you go down the slopes look I know they're different but you feel me right I love the way this map feels you're going down drifting left and right trying to dodge these big boulders but the crazy part is as good of a map as this is its layout is eerily similar to a significantly better track except replace the Falling Rocks with pinballs you see what I'm saying just me it feels like an inferior version of Waluigi pinball but that's kind of a compliment because that track is goed and look I know it came out before that track but you know it feels like this was like the test run to make that track you you get what I'm saying right I'm not going crazy Berlin byways it's the only tour track that has cars in the way and it's what LA's track should have been I haven't been to Berlin so I can't tell if it's accurate but it's a cute track I like that THS exist here as the number one th fan also they referenced the Berlin Wall so that's kind of cool oh the swamps are like the wall falling down oh that's so genius shy guy falls this track is wild you're driving up and down waterfalls up and down and between that you see these shy guys mining for stuff and those dudes are always so cool to see I love shy guys so I'm glad that their one map is this epic one but I always get mad because I can't get up there you know what I'm talking about how do you do that please in the comments tell me I I I'm so bad Madrid Drive this feels so European there's plazas with the Toads drinking their coffee and stuff it's so cute and of course the soccer I mean football stadium at the Finish it's an insanely great finale it's got great interior sections like the art gallery and the marketplace it just looks like a place that you want to live and it's a blast to drive through mea ice ice Outpost yo why have I not been playing on this track more it's awesome it's a fullon dual track do I go on the green or the yellow side side it's such a simple concept executed perfectly I love the color I love the layout I will say for being ice ice Outpost there wasn't really like much ice going on but that's actually okay cuz I don't really like ice Maps this may be like the hottest take but I think this is the most underrated track of all time nobody talks about it and it's sick as hell ninja Hideaway this track has some fire music just listen to [Music] it but I also love that it has so many paths to choose from driving on the rooftops and flying to the very top is satisfying but also going to the lower areas still really cool such an enjoyably replayable track and a great addition to the game Paris prominade wee wee it's Leon I like driving through the city and seeing the Eiffel Tower and that one arched way and like the other tour tracks I love the route changes it's a great way to see more Pari and spice up the gameplay as someone who has visited Paris it really captures its Essence very well better than a lot of the other tour tracks but this will be the last time that I compliment the French ever okay Peach Gardens before the tour tracks Peach Gardens was the OG track to change its path at the end it was cool on the DS and it's still cool now the idea of driving through a castle Gardens is fantastic and it makes for an enjoyable and fresh idea for a track the greens of the gardens and the colorful flowers contrast well with the castle walls it's a phenomenal addition and I'm so glad it was remade Toad's Turnpike finally talking about it baby this is one of the better remakes from the 64 game in the 64 game it was kind of okay but here it's fire the fact that you can jump off the cars and go on the walls to skip traffic alog together like that scene in men and black is sick as hell it feels like you're actually in traffic but not in the depressing hate your life kind of way but more in the let's break some laws kind of way tot's Turnpike is dope as hell Wario Stadium DS this is the best Wario Stadium period This has everything big jumps mud Circles of fire and even underwater parts that don't piss me off with an epic finish that is always hype when you ride it they even added a zero gravity section to make it even more crazy of course slap some mud on my tires cuz we're going back to Wario Stadium I Lov it on the DS and I love it more now this track puts the W in Wario Maple Treeway this map and before you yell at me I'm going to say it one more time feels like the spiritual successor of Airship Fortress yeah obviously not in its aesthetic but like in its vibe instead of an Airship Fortress it's a tree Fortress Yeah I don't care if it makes no sense it's a great track with one of the best endings making for a very climactic finish I'm glad they ended up remaking this track in the DLC it is very fun Rainbow Road 64 it's got all the rainbows the fireworks of characters in the sky a train dropping coins and it's so easy to fall off just a great track to play on it isn't feel as long as it used to in the 64 days because they took that one lap that it used to be and split it into three three so it's just one big lap but it's not the best rainbow road which we'll talk about a little bit later and these are just the top 10 tracks out of all 96 if you gotten this far please consider subscribing because this is taking a lot to edit it's it's long Tick Tock plock okay so the way that this list is shaping up it really seems like I'm just a fan of the DS game which I am but what can I say that game had bangers and this is easily one of the best tracks from that game you're driving inside of a clock with all the cogs and stuff inside and you can get hit by pendulums and the hands of the clocks it's great my favorite part is where the cogs Go in different directions so you have to hit them from a specific angle to maximize your speed also the final cogs always change so you want to hit the right one and just like you know really be smart about it it gives me great joy that this track was brought back in the original game and I hope it never stops coming back Amsterdam drift this is my favorite of the Mario Kart tour tracks it feels like Amsterdam but not just the city you see unlike all the other tour tracks you get get to check out more of the rural side look at that you have fun underwater sections and the boat houses that you jump on it's just an overall Charming track and such a beautiful city to look at I also love that you'll run into other players in the final lap as you go backwards but what really made me love this track is the flower section it's just gorgeous if you haven't already traveled to Amsterdam but also play this track it's amazing coconut mall before you get mad at me I know this track is considered by many to be the best track of all time so how does it hold up it's still fantastic I especially love the shy guys and the low riders with the Hydraulics at it but the mall itself felt kind of empty hello I feel like it would have been cool to see more characters or people in the mall otherwise it's like an abandoned Coconut Mall which I guess makes sense since nobody shops in person anymore besides that it's a phenomenal track and I see the hype I get it it's just not my personal favorite but come on it's in s tier like like I'm not being a jerk now this this is a rainbow road Rainbow Road 3DS holy cra crap this is a great Rainbow Road I cannot believe I never played it before you drive through space on the rings of Saturn on the moon and you still have the rainbow Vibe throughout it's so magical and you can fall off easily this is such an incredible Rainbow Road and I'm just so glad it got added to the DLC and it's easily one of the best one track tracks you know where there's not multiple laps you get me truly the definitive Rainbow Road experience I love this rainbow road and it's easily the best and quintessential version of this I iconic track Bowser's Castle Bowser's Castle is nuts this is easily the best Bowser's Castle ever made it's got the inner Castle the lava the deadly obstacles but the best part is the huge Bowser trying to smack you then turning the track all wavy it's epic I do wish the ending was a little bit more climactic but it's still such a well-designed track and an amazing castle for the king of Koopas Music Park you play on pianos that match the music music as you drive over [Music] it that alone is like amazing it's also just an awesome track in general it's got Drums that you can bounce off of and these big music notes that can squish you it's what Electro doome wishes it could be but you'll never be him drive over that piano again ah music to my ears excite bike whenever me and my brothers play Mario Kart we always choose excite bike this one will make the least amount of sense to most of you but I don't care this one personally just reminds me of hanging out with my brothers it's just so simple and so fun and also I found this out recently it randomly generates the like dips and stuff it's not the same track every time that's awesome I didn't even realize it I just had so much fun playing it every single time we played you just get to bounce and bounce and if you're Donkey Kong you get to hit him with the little dab yeah I'm a little bit biased because I have Nostalgia for this track I get it but I don't care this is my list you excitebike rules baby Park you guys knew this was coming up here baby Park is pure chaos and everybody loves it I love it the fact that people in last place can easily be laed and also their items will definitely get in your way is simultaneously frustrating and Incredibly unique no other track is this crazy and while yes it's a remake of the GameCube version I like this one better because every single time you bum into an enemy you get a boost off their wheels and that's such a cool way to update and upgrade this iconic Mario Kart track come on we all love baby Park big blue this is an Epic Journey it's one long f-zero track that makes you feel like Falcon punching something it's fast it's fresh it's full of those movement floors and a water slide that's how you do it water park this is the best f-zero track and one of the best tracks ever made I love it with a passion you bet you're going to see me pick big blue first every day of the week but why isn't Falcon in this game but link is link doesn't even know what a car is wh why Nintendo why and finally our number one track out of all 96 Waluigi pinball the DS Mario Kart game made a huge difference for me as a kid in high school I'd be playing on the bus I loved playing with my friends but sometimes I didn't really have anybody and I went to school a little bit further away from where I lived so I'd be playing Mario Kart all the time so obviously I have a strong bond to the DS games so sorry if that makes people a little bit upset because I'm obviously a little bit more biased but even without that I always knew as a kid that this is the best Mario Kart track ever made and it's absolutely Bonkers that it had to come as DLC that's crazy especially when it features my personal favorite Nintendo character of all time Waluigi this is a fantastic track it's a genius concept where you are taking the same route that a ball in a pinball machine would take and although that could have just been okay it sticks The Landing with an insanely beautiful aesthetic and Banger [Music] music the balls are fun obstacles and the pinball game is actually being played in the background making for an even crazier obstacle it's incredible the DLC is worth getting single-handedly for Waluigi pinball itself yes my love for the DS game is apparent but I can say that even people who never played the DS game will definitely still love Waluigi pinball also the sound effects changed too like they didn't have to change the sound effects but they [Music] did because they knew that this map is dope so there you have it all 96 TR Rax ranked that is one of the longest videos I have ever made so please consider subscribing it'd be nice to know that you guys liked it as well but what do you think do you agree with my list do you disagree let me know what your favorite and least favorite tracks are in the comments down below thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you [Music] later
