talks of removing Rosalina’s Ice World is borderline sacrilege
I can’t think of a witty response at the moment so I’m just gonna say that Rosalina’s ice world is mid af
I'd say your changes to the BCP are my favourites out of everyone's so far, a lot of interesting changes that fit the new placements.
I find it funny how the only changes I'd make to your list, is swap the order of Moonview and Airship, and then Vanilla and Maple around
I actually like Ninja Hideaway, from the theme to the different paths you can take to the kick-ass music, to the design, I think it’s wave 1’s best course
So many options but not a single one of them fun
@@jacobpullen6949nah you’re the one that isn’t fun
18:05 I was preparing to scream: 'Don't remove my favorite Wii track Moonview Highway.' I'm glad that that didn't happen.
Nah with how much it was improved here, it gets to stay.
I don’t understand removing 3DS Rainbow Road from the Moon Cup. It makes a lot of sense being there as a large portion of it takes place on the moon… Wii Rainbow Road just feels like a better BCP ender anyways
great vid! love seeing how people would have made the booster course themselves if they could change things about it
Tour is main series it’s mk9
You removed mushroom gorge, which got a good glow up and is an improvement over the Wii version, but kept Koopa Cape which is a severe downgrade from the original. I tried to convince you 💀
I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO COMMENT THIS
@@XZavierdoesStuff my man
@@nerdlywacko I'm asking him about this in the discord because this is actively worse
Nah man, u trippin. Mushroom Gorge became Clay Gorge 😂. 100% downgrade
Nah… Koopa cape was better, I liked it underwater
I don’t really understand the reasoning behind removing both kalimari desert and peach gardens as they’re the only retro tracks that received different routes
That's part of the reason I removed them. Changing routes just feels like it should be a Tour course only thing.
@@Pokemichael Well, I would be completely fine if Peach Gardens kept the normal route, but both Kalimari Desert and Peach Gardens have very clear, simple and simular reason why the the routes where changed. And they both make a lot of sense too. With Kalimari Desert, Nintendo probably thought 'We need to change it to make Kalimari Desert more interesting.'. Because the normal layout might feel a bit slow and boring in 8 Deluxe. So to make up for that Nintendo let the racers drive on the train tracks and throught the tunnel and with a step up of the original obstacle and the ONLY obstacle of Kalamari Desert, which is non other than the train itself, which is now a more difficult obstable to dodge when the racers go onto the train tracks, simply to make it more interesting. And the reason why the third lap of DS Peach Gardens runs in reverse is also a super logical reason. It was to use an unused part of the original map, simply a fun easter egg. Like I said, I would keep Kalimari Desert and Peach Gardens in because they both have a very good reason why they have route changes. And the biggest reason: They are an absolutly AZMAZING addition and most of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe players agree completely with that. So removing them is not nessecarry.
the Mushroom Gorge removal was painful, why not Moonview Highway? that one was a city and we have a lot of those
Moonview Highway was a first time retro and one of the most improved courses in the game. It deserves the spot way more.
@@PokemichaelI think they should’ve pushed that back to the next mario kart
Moonview Highway is my most favorite Mario Kart Wii course and it is very different from the city courses. The first half of Moonview Highway is on a cliff, and as far as I know, none of the Tour City courses have a cliff where you drive on. AND Moonview Highway even brought back the bomb-omb cars. And for me personally, I would remove Mushroom Gorge. I just don't like the original version of Mario Kart Wii's Mushroom Cup and I don't really like the 8 Deluxe version aswell. And I think the reason that Nintendo added Moonview Highway in is probably because they wanted another city course that is NOT a Tour city course, because maybe people might get bored of the city courses after a while. The other non-Tour city track is GCN Mushroom City, but that course is not in Tour. So Moonview Highway that is in Tour was the only option. But I could not be happier that they added in my most favorite Mario Kart EVER!!!
If I had to critique, I would say it is less about the courses themselves but moreso about the absolutes you speak in. A lot of your opinions you present as factual, and I don't think that it is fair to present them that way. Everyone has their own opinions, but the way I look at this, the approach should be from a developer standpoint.
For instance, I agree with you that Dino Dino Jungle is better than DK Mountain. For me though, I left in DK Mountain because both courses were in the same position as returning retro courses, and DKM was the more popular option due to common consensus, and my own poll. For you to say DDJ is the better course is not just not factual and rather opinionated, it actually is not even the public opinion either. I think it would be fair for you to say you put it in because *you* simply like it more, but you don't present it that way. Another thing you could've done to justify this was point out how many mountain courses were in the DLC already - for me, I removed Rock Rock Mountain instead, but you had not.
I think this can be offputting at times. There is nothing wrong with you disliking Ninja Hideaway, but it is not a fact that the course is bad, and actually, it's incredibly popular at that. I find it to be really fun.
Ironically, you had justification to remove it if you really wanted. Yes it's weird to cut one Tour nitro, but it is also weird to have an extra one in only one wave, let alone Wave 2 of all things.
Honestly I think me presenting some things in more factual ways just came down to the fact that I was still in a reviewing headspace, instead of an outside developer standpoint.
On DK Mountain, I'm not sure why I didn't mention it in the video because it was part of the script, but the other main reason I replaced it was due to it having a very similar vibe/layout to DK Summit. I felt having both of them was redundant.
Although while I do agree that I did have the justification to remove Ninja Hideaway if I wanted, I felt it was more important to include all of the Tour/BCP Nitros, even if I had to do something weird and put two of them in one wave. The reason I went with Wave 2 was just because I didn't have room in any other waves.
Thanks for the constructive criticism though!
@@Pokemichael My apolygies in advantage if my thoughts that I wanted to share are too long, but the thoughts are all about your other main reason that you mentioned here:
You are saying DK Mountain is TOO SIMILAR to DK Summit🤯!? DK Mountain seems longer in lenght than DK Summit to me. And it is much more challenging and personally I would prefer a tropical theme over a winter theme. I've probably based that one on of the very best holiday destinations in my opinion, and undoubtedly like many other people: a tropical island. And I would prefer that more then a winter vacation. DK Mountain's music in 8 Deluxe also sounds very tropical to me. But enough over DK Mountain. We already have 5 snow tracks in the BCP, those being GBA Snow Land, Merry Mountain, DK Summit, Vancouver Velocity and 3DS Rosalina's Ice World. DK Summit is the only track out of these 4 that I would like to replace, and I'm gonna replace it with DS DK Pass, a much better track than DK Summit in my opinion, and my favorite DS course in fact. I know I said we already have 5 snow tracks in the BCP, but I added these so that a Wii track is replaced by another DS track, and also a DK track, as some people were a bit disappointed with 8 Mario Kart Wii tracks instead of 6, which is what most Mario Kart fans expected. Maybe there are some people out there that would wanna remove Rosalina's Ice World because that it is another snow track, that track replaced Piranha Plant Pipeline and I get that. But Rosalina only has 1 track in the whole series. So to give Rosalina some love, it makes sense that 3DS Rosalina's Ice World made the cut. And I honestly think most of the people don't bother about the fact that that track made the cut. And look at the amount of character related tracks that made it's first appearance in 8 Deluxe thanks to the BCP, those being Boo, Peach, Waluigi, Daisy and, like I mentioned before, Rosalina. And in the case of Donkey Kong we have DK Mountain. Maybe people would say that Donkey Kong already has 2 tracks in 8 Deluxe outside of DK Mountain and under which DK Summit. But Mario has 4 tracks in 8 Deluxe now, which actually might make sense because Mario is always the main character in the MARIO Kart games but still. And DK would still have 3 tracks in 8 Deluxe, like it currently is. Like I mentioned before: I replaced DK Summit with DK Pass. And some characters already have 2 or 3 tracks in the BASE GAME, but DK has not. And speaking of DK Mountain: LOOK AT Schaffrillas Mario Kart Double Dash rankings!!! Out of 16 tracks, he placed Dino Dino Jungle at 12th position and DK Mountain at 1ST POSITION, so it's right that DK Mountain made the cut. But I'm wondering, "Did you add Dino Dino Jungle in because it was remade twice (3DS and Tour) and did you remove DK Mountain because it was remade three times (Wii, Tour and 8 Deluxe), more times remade than Dino Dino Jungle?" You also mentioned at the start of the video that there are too many Wii courses in the game and I GET THAT. In my opinion Nintendo maybe could've taken out Wii DK Summit. Like I've mentioned before, and they could've added in DS DK Pass instead of Wii DK Summit. In that way a Wii track would've been removed, but no DK track (this is honestly the very first time that I had an idea when it comes to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and my very first big-brained idea for 8 Deluxe aswell in my opinion). What do you think about it? Be honest, please (I'm not mad, and I say that because it might sound like that, I'm just very curious what you think about this😉). PS: I've spent a very, VERY long time writing this, but it was SO LONG that is was an almost unbearably long time to correct a very big part of the phrases. English is not my primary langauge, but that doesn't mean my English is bad on the contrary. It's took at least half a day (6 hours) in total. Don't worry, it was on a Monday and I don't work on Mondays. But like I said at the very start: the thoughts are all about your other main reason that you mentioned here. And i'm not a TH-camr, because if I was, I could've shared my thoughts about that same reason way easier and most importantly: 'Way faster.'
You kept Rock Rock Mountain in the Rock Cup, yet you moved the 1 Rainbow Road WITH A MOON out of the Moon Cup (yes I know you had a 1 track from each game cap per wave, but at least mention it)
Why remove Peach Gardens and Kalamari? You said because the backwards lap was too controversial
1) no it wasn't (ask Schaffrillas)
2) just remove the backwards lap then
There's now 3 traffic courses in the BCP + Berlin Byways, which is too many
Airship should be a 3rd track
I agree with you about Yoshi Desert
Daisy Circuit being removed doesn't work because now there's 3 Wii circuits out of 7 tracks left. You picked the 2 wrong Wii courses to remove. Remove Moonview and Summit instead of Gorge and Daisy Circuit
That's my two cents (since you told me to leave a comment lol)
Moonview Highway is my most favorite Mario Kart Wii track.
Why swap the 2 Rainbow Roads? Wii’s Rainbow Road is too special and difficult to be placed in wave 3.
I have to say right of the bat I grew up with Mario Kart Wii, like many others. So the only tracks I'm a bit disappointed you left out are SNES Mario Circuit 3, DS Peach Gardens, GCN DK Mountain and Wii Daisy Circuit, because all these 4 tracks are one of my favorites from Wii. Even tho I like 3DS Rosalina's Ice World, the only thing that bothers me is the fact that it's bassicly impossible to drive on the ice again in the 2nd and 3rd lap. All the other tracks that you've kicked out I'm totally fine with. Of the new tracks you selected I completely agree over all with 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar, Piranha Plant Pipeline, DS Airship Fortress (even though I personally don't really care, but I still think it's a little bit of a shame that it didn't make the cut ), N64 Koopa Troopa Beach (the Tour version) and GBA Bowser's Castle 4 because I like the music. I don't really care about SNES Vanilla Lake because we already have 5 snow tracks in the BCP. Of the new tracks you've selected (I'm going to follow your rules) I would replace 3DS Rock Rock Mountain with 3DS Wario Shipyard and GBA Yoshi Desert with GBA Cheep Cheep Island.
The only real improvement here is wave 5 for removing sunset wilds and adding airship fortress. Otherwise there were way too many good tracks removed in favor of much more boring alternatives. Kind of an overall downgrade ngl
An easy fix is to add some kart parts from Tour cause frankly I'm so tired of the same decade old selection.
...yeah, I don't honestly know if I want for Snow Land and Vanilla Lake 2 to be in the same game again (at least not one that doesn't have most all MK courses)
I would actually like Los Angeles Laps in Wave 6.
Nice fix. Although, I would replace Waluigi Pinball with Kalimari Desert.
that is a crazy take
Survey says no
remove mushroom gorge, why?
Will we still have flat textors?
Like I mentioned, assume all textures are up to base game quality.
The fuck are you talking about? The pass isn't broken
Nah all i’m doing is removing the tour courses and forcing them to put effort in by fixing courses like Koopa Cape, Coconut Mall, and Sky Garden, and replacing the tour content with Toad Factory, Airship Fortress, Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu, DS Rainbow Road, GBA Rainbow Road, Piranha Plant Pipeline, Yoshi Falls, DM Jungle Parkway, Koopa Troopa Beach, DS Bowser Castle, Mushroom City, N64 Bowser Castle, then replace Ninja Hideaway, with DK Pass because getting rid of a trash course and replacing it with a mid one is the only way i’m gonna justify putting in my guilty pleasure DS track
I completely agree with your choices, but why did you add DS Yoshi Falls? Schaffrillas ranked it as the second worst from MKW in his MKW ranking video.
WORST FIXING EVER
Removed Mushroom Gorge
Removed Kalamari Desert
Removed Peach Gardens
Removed DK Mountain
Added in obligatory SNES and GBA courses
Added in Shy Guy Bazaar instead of Wario Shipyard
Added in a lame Koopa Troopa Beach
Forgot Toad’s Factory
WHAT WAS THIS VIDEO ABOUT, RUINING THE BOOSTER COURSE PASS
Mushroom Gorge I don't think was necessary compared to the other better Wii courses in the BCP. Kalimari and Peach Gardens I explained in the video. DK Mountain I replaced with the better GCN jungle course. I kept the amount of SNES courses the same as in the original BCP, just replacing the one that was unnecessary. And the GBA courses ended up being one of the best parts of the BCP (except for one bad one, which I replaced). I originally was considering Wario Shipyard, but didn't have room for it. Shy Guy Bazaar meanwhile deserves the spot more, as it was already scrapped from the Wii U DLC. KTB was mostly just added because I needed another N64 course after removing Kalimari Desert. And Toad's Factory isn't in Tour so I couldn't include it in this video.
Bro said to add Toad’s Factory despite Michael making it clear he’s only using courses in Tour
And swapping the 2 Rainbow Roads.
