All Mario Kart Cups Ranked From Worst to Best (With Math!)
ฝัง

- The Mario Kart games have some great tracks spread across all of the cups. But have you ever stopped to wonder which of these cups has the best selection of tracks? I have, and so I've decided to try to work out which cups have the best and worst selections - using Maths!
Top 216 Mario Kart Tracks: • Top 216 Mario Kart Tra...
There is a slight error in the video. Double Dash's Bowser's Castle was ranked at 65, not 44.

Top 35 Mario Kart Battle Tracks ► th-cam.com/video/csZnEaeTLq4/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact: GCN Mario Circuit was originally going to be the first track in the Mushroom Cup as seen in an early version of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The 3DS Star Cup is best on average but the 3DS Banana Cup is best in terms of best two tracks.
@@literallyafrog367 you mean best retro cup in the series?
You are telling me that Toad’s Turnpike, a literal figure 8, is better than Moon View Highway, a dynamic and high skill track.
Jayden Koch am I the only one who thinks mk8 tracks are visually bland and unmemorable? I don’t understand what everyone else sees in the game that I don’t
@@drggphd6711 ikr like 4/48 tracks are actually gr8, the others are mostly boring, compared to mkwii
>Toad's Turnpike (150)
>Moonview Highway (130)
?????????
@@PresumptuousPopplio I'm referring to mk8 Toad's Turnpike which is rated 55. It is simply a boring track compared to its other trafic counter part, Moon view Highway, which was only criticized for being to hard due to the cars and its "boring" layout. Yet he still rates a literal figure 8 with some cars as an after thought higher. It just shows that he only focusses on casual play and anything remotely difficult or unfair is considered bad.
@P1 yeah like on MKWii, Rainbow Road is so hard for me to beat and he was like “it’s very challenging” like I don’t get it. I honestly like the DS Rainbow Road more than the others, it’s my favorite, and I also like the N64 Rainbow Road remake in MK8D more than the one from MKWii.
MKWii Star cup shouldve been higher. I love Koopa Cape, Grumble Volcano. And Maple Treeway is my favorite track of all time
Special cup as well. Moon view highway is extremely fun and same with dry dry ruins. And try he bowser castle is the best one in the series and rainbow road as well
Also the mushroom cup is one of my favorites. It had mushroom gorge and toad factory
@@rydinoKOF dry dry ruins and bowser castle are both way better on the wii than in there mario kart 8 versions, as well is dk mountain. Also Rainbow road is one of the best
maple treeway is the 3rd best for me, daisy circuit is like 70th for me or smtin, grumble volcano is like my 15th fav and koopa cape is like my 24th
Yeah that's a top 3 cup imo
Using the math he used to rank the cups in this video, I've been able to figure out his personal ranking of the eight main games overall.
8. SMK - 48.25
7. MKSC - 42
6. MK64 - 36.75
5. MKDS - 32.87
4. MKWii - 27.5
3. MKDD - 18.5
2. MK7 - 17.12
1. MK8 - 15.41
Your forgetting about game mechanics, glitches and all the other thing going under the radar on this ranking, however, this is really cool
@@laptopcase Well this is specifically comparing the track design, so stuff like glitches and ultra shortcuts probably shouldn't be counted for, especially since those are unintentional, and are basically exploits.
@@Absolute_Zero7 fair enough
@@laptopcase MK8 still probably would have won. In terms of speed and fluidity MKWii is it’s only rival, and it’s graphics and gravity-changing mechanics would probably push it over the top, if the courses didn’t already
Mario Kart 7 did a lot and brought a lot to the Mario Kart series. Despite it being a handheld, it was a pretty well done game that's fun to play. Looking back, I've begun to appreciate it a lot more.
I'll never understand the hate for Mario Kart Stadium from MK8. Yes it's an easy track but it feels like a celebration, to kick off the game. The atmosphere and music is incredible, the glider and anti gravity moments have great lead ups while being non imposing, and of all the regular courses it feels the most like an actual kart track. It blurs the line between normal and crazy perfectly.
Also it has sick shortcuts on 200cc.
Completely agree - super underrated track. It’s so good
tbh I think a lot of the reason people don't really like it is because it's another circuit track, but I still like it a lot
its the first track in the game ofc its gonna be easy. do people really hate it for that?
it’s an awesome track with an amazing music piece to compliment it
I really like MK8's star cup. Sunshine Airport, Mount Wario, and Electodrome (my favourite nitro track in MK8) are all top 30 for me.
What about Dolphin Shoals
Mount Wario is my 2nd Favorite. Big Blue is the best one though
Star Cup in mk8 would have been the perfect cup if it didn’t have dolphin shoals :/
@@accusedtoppat dolphin shoals is the best underwater track in the series, it’s frickin GORGEOUS, and has by far the best music out of any other track in the entire franchise, so the only reason it’s not the perfect cup is because you’re opinion is horrible:/
@@mikeywebb9598 the star cups in wii, 8, and 7 are the best star cups
MK Wii's star cup has always been my fav lmao
iiSharkwolf The special cup too mate. It's better than DS Special cup
@@rydinoKOF fr tho
Only the DS's and Wii U's Star Cups really come within a million miles of it, most others are light years away.
Sameeee all the courses are god tier.

I’m disappointed in you. You didn’t say “I give this track a Pass” while talking about DK Pass.
I'm disappointed in me.
jamiethepayne you should be >:(
Lol
i hate dk pass
@@dex-6712 dk pass is a decent course
In what universe is Yoshi Valley the "black sheep" of the Special Cup lol
The original N64 version is fantastic
he said the track layout is confusing.. i memorized that layout as a kid, and i imagine a lot of other people did too
@@badboy-si4jg there's literally just one path you need to take. i don't get how that is confusing.
The mk64 controls make the track unfun
Black sheep doesn’t mean bad, it just means the most unusual. And considering the other tracks are relatively normal (except RR’s length) it makes sense that Yoshi Valley’s multipath gimmick would make it a standout
DK's Jungle Parkway and Yoshi Valley are the N64 Special Cup's highlights while Rainbow Road and Banshee Boardwalk are the lowlights to me.
jamie: takes averages
also jamie: M a T h E m A t I c S
You should've known: TH-camrs have zero knowledge of math.
averaging is math and taking the mean is actually useful in statistics
@@Melecie It's not just "taking the mean" that is useful. You need to actually know what kind of mean is good for the analysis you are doing. Averaging some numbers does not just give good insights about anything
@@Strobenz if it really didnt it would be used much less
@@LaelGames7913 the reason why it is used so much is because most people don't know shit about math lol
Interesting fact despite how many Mario karts there were there was never a game just called Mario kart the first one was Super Mario kart
NIGHTMARE 999 4 never realised that 🤯😅
We’ll probably get a gritty reboot just called Mario Kart one day
I mean, if Mario Kart came out on the NES, it could probably have that name, but the game would probably look awful
@@superyoshiverde7911 its not that it would look terrible, it just flat out be impossible and thats not an exaggeration.
7:26 it's frustrating when this happens, absolute bullsh!t
Yeah
It's hard to argue with this man's assesment
MK7 has lot of amazing tracks and cups, sadly it isn't one of my favorite Mario Kart games, for me it's kinda slow and the character selection is a bit meh... Amazing video, agree on most of it!
I just wish there was a non-multiplayer VS race option. Like why isn't in Mario Kart 7?
@@akluv2403 Maybe VS mode is much better suited for consoles and not handhelds because of local multiplayer, so Nintendo didn't include it
@@Marshall.R Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Super Circuit say "You talking shit to me?"
MK7 in my opinion has the best selection of retro courses
It has the best Rainbow Road
One of the larger shockers for me was wii mushroom cup being that low. 3 fantastic starter tracks brought down by a just normal track, not back not incredible. Mushroom cups are destined to not be as high for that reason alone
Also wii star cup is number 1
I don't know, Luigi's Circuit is actually kinda bad. It's one of the simplest tracks in the whole franchise...like, Super Mario Kart levels of simple. It's barely more than Mario Circuit 1. And it leaves almost nothing to skill.
I completely agree, especially with wii star cup, it is way too low
Wii star cup is best
@@Blueturtle1yea he trashed Koopa Cape so hard in my opinion
Mario Kart 8's Star Cup is more consistent, but Maple Treeway is peak. Wii has by far the best Mushroom Cup it's not even close, but it's still not touching many of the best Star & Lightning Cups unfortunately.
I agree with your list in general, but personally, there are a few tracks I would have switched around. Koopa Cape is my favorite course, and Maple Treeway third, so Wii's Star Cup would've won hands down for me. Otherwise, I agree with a lot of it. 3ds's star cup, despite never having seen your videos, definitely deserves a top spot.
I agree that koopa cape is amazing but waluigi pinball is alot better
FINALLY someone who loves koopa cape.
What about Grumble Volcano and Daisy Circuit?
i'm happy someone finally ranked the mario kart cups. it's the one ranking we've been missing on youtube.
Yes.
The only other guy who has done this is "Waluigi the Master" so yes I totally agree
Wait Albert Boris existed before the booster course pass?
WITH MATHS!
I recently ranked all tracks from worst to best, so I also decided to rank all cups as well. For me, Mario Kart 8’s Star cup was the best with a score of 25.25
Litteraly all the tracks are amazing
Star cup in Mario kart 8 is the best Grand Prix by far
Yes each track is a banger! Definitley a top 5 cup in the franchise!
The Star cup is always my favorite, Wii and 8.
Same bro same
Why is the Mario kart wii star cup so far down!!!!
It is definitely top 5!!!!
To you. It’s an opinionated list.
It’s me, DJ he’s giving his opinion
@@BitBANANA222 Josh is saying that as if MKWii's Star Cup shoud be Top 5 Objectively.
Thunder Master clearly not
Duupar In literally not a single list on earth where nr.100 is twice as good as nr.200. Not a single one. It’s just not how rankings work
33:57: "piranha plant pipeway is shockingly the first track to be based on the underground"
Wario's Gold Mine: am I A joKE To yOu
Then why can I see a sunset in Wario’s Gold Mine
@@zaneheaston8254 because you didn’t go underground yet or already
I think he meant it's the first track to be based on the underground levels in the 2D Super Mario games
@@Brebgon Yeah.
Honestly it's surprising how infrequently MK's racetracks directly reference the main games. SMK was based directly on SMW, but after that they kinda just did whatever. You'd get the occasional track that is a massive reference, like Airship Fortress or Piranha Plant Slide, but it's not that common.
@@k-leb4671 Tbh I think that's better. More new themes in the nitros and makes it more thrilling when a new track does reference past games. If it happened so much more it would just lose that feel.
Love how my 2nd favorite track ever is the thing that pulls the crossing cup down
Where?
What?
it made me pissed when he said ww helled back that cup. ww is amazing imo
Wild Woods is literally my favorite track in 8 and one of my favorites in the whole series
I agree
Thought Mario Kart 8's Star Cup would've won but. . .
yeah same
Oof. You were just one game off.
I thought MK8's Lightning Cup would have won.
Well Best MK8 Cup, 2nd Best Cup Overall, & Best Retro Cup is good enough for me lol
(Edit was to add the "Best Retro Cup" statement because that somehow missed me when I originally commented this reply lol)
Fusion Cyborg cool.👍
Yeah sunshine airport and mount wario are my favorite mario kart tracks ever
MK8 Star/Lightning Cup are near damn perfect.
Same with the Bell Cup. In fact, that's the greatest cup in the series
Mario kart 9 Ultimate Cup:
Intro track: Mk8 Cloudtop cruise
Second track: Ds Tick Tock clock
Third track: Gba Ribbon Road
Fourth track : Wii Coconut mall
Middle track: Gcn Baby Park
Sixth track: Mk8 Big Blue
Seventh track: Mk7 Music park
Eight track: Ds Waluigi Pinball
Ninth: Wii Grumble volcano
Final track: Mk7 Rainbow road
21:36 I saw DK's Snowboard cross, Melody motorway, Alpine pass and I realised that that was the UK version (It's DK Summit, Rock Rock Mountain, Music park!)
Music park is Melody motorway
Hold on, Jamie said "Just across the pond" as a reference to the US, you should have caught that.
Alpine Pass is a way cooler name than Rock Rock Mountain

It’s amazing the motivation you had for this video. 35 minutes of ranking!
Although I was really raging when you mentioned some tracks were bad I remained through the end and I am not disappointed!
I wonder how the DLC Cups will fit into this when they all come out
I think he’ll give it his own separate list
It’s pretty interesting to see that the Star Cup’s are considered by most people as the best or close cup in each game, definitely saw that the best was in Star Cup in the latter half in the series.
And just so you know, yeah I’m all for Wii’s Star Cup
Fun Fact: Of the 16 retro tracks that has made it into the Lighting Cup since it returned as the final Retro Cup in the Retro Grain Prix:
9 were from Various Star Cups
5 were from Various Special Cups
1 was from the GBA Lightning Cup*
& 1 was from the SNES Flower Cup.
*Lightning Cup made it's debut as a Nitro Cup in the Nitro Grand Prix in Super Circuit, before returning as the final Retro Cup in the Retro Grain Prix; this is the only time a cup has switched from 1 type of Grand Prix to another.
It’s cause they aren’t stuck with bowers castle and rainbow road so they get 4 original ideas and they don’t require easy tracks like the mushroom and Star cups
@@mikeywebb9598 I guess that makes sense, though Bowser Castle’s and Rainbow Road’s are usually pretty good
@@The_Holy_Wooomy they are, but thats 2 courses with predetermined themes
I Was really wating for a ranking of all the cups, I love this video!
Solid list. I really appreciate the effort that went into this.
Peasant: Mario
High ranking member of society: Märiöü
14:40 Waluigi Pinball is a good track, but it could’ve done more with the whole pinball idea.
It's the most overrated track in history imo but it's still great
It's a goated track, maybe we need a Waluigi Pinball 2
I love the track but its not number 1... I think people bumm Waluigi more than they realise
Open video
"Merry-o Kart"
Close video
IT'S CALLED A F***ING ACCENT DIMSH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MKWii’s Flower Cup is so amazing. You praised Waluigi Stadium for utilizing the trick mechanic to make it fun, yet you don’t give the same praise to DK Summit. And for some reason, you think Wario’s Gold Mine is slightly above average (105/216), even though it has so much personality and atmosphere.
This concept was pretty interesting to watch seeing how another individual’s track values stack up. The “math” though, is obviously going to weigh on preference almost entirely, so this video is more of a “for fun” averaging exercise than a concrete list that would need a few more factors considered, (such as how the course position is relayed in each cup or how the collection of courses work together to provide a good mix of gameplay diversity as examples) but what mattered most was that the video and commentary were still entertaining.
I would have to say my personal favorite cup in the entire Mario Kart series is the All Cup Tour from Mario Kart Double Dash!!. Is it fair to even include it? Nah, but it IS a grand prix cup, and I have a soft spot for this one off inclusion. The fun already begins when choosing your favorite character and kart combo you’ve discovered to stick with to the end of the ultimate race. I love how it starts with Luigi’s Circuit and it always ends on Rainbow Road, which are personally two of my high picks in the series. Every course in between is unpredictably randomized, and it’s just fun counting down the stages, guessing which track the game could throw at you next, and tally your points into the hundreds. It’s honestly pretty fun when my own less experienced or more difficult tracks get queued, like Sherbet Land or Wario’s Colosseum as my own examples. You know they’ll show up every time, but when they do, it just fills me up with an exciting “Aww sh*t. Here we go again…” energy to try and handle the situation. It actually turned some of my once least preferred to play courses into my top favorites, like Dino Dino Jungle, Rainbow Road and -I don’t even know how it won me over- Wario Colosseum.
It’s not perfect though. Playing the tour on 50cc or even 100cc makes each race take a much longer time that it needs, with minimal actual challenge from your competition. Getting two similar themed stages in a row can be a little disappointing too. And to be honest, I usually just slap either Petey Piranha or King Boo as a default character on the team for the added item pool diversity for dealing with sixteen consecutive races, but I wouldn’t lie in saying that if I could only choose one prix cup to ever play again (as in, the way how it is intended), either 150cc or Mirror All Cup Tour has just gotta be the only answer from me. It has to be my most replayed cup in the entire series purely for a fun time. - Noah
That moment when Super Bell Subway is my favorite mario kart course of all time and it’s the reason Bell cup isn’t in 1st place 😔
I feel you
Agree entirely with your #1 pick. I love Mario Kart 7 and it had so many great courses
GCN Dry Dry Desert blew the original out of the water
how?
by adding Water
literally best thing i ever heard
9:20 Luigi, you will be missed
Yeah i clocked that! 🤣 Classic cpu
*“Merao Kart”*
Wow! Did not expect a Mario Kart 7 cup to be number one! I'm pretty happy though since I feel as Mario Kart 7 is pretty underated.
Kudos on putting all the Double Dash cups in the top 25. That was easily my favorite Mario Kart game.
DD has most of the memorable tracks except Sherbet Land which sucks
SNES Rainbow Road: [Ranks High In All Carnations]
Me: So you have chosen, death?
@Jason Kott It is
SNES Rainbow Road is decent in both Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 7.
SNES Rainbow Road is lame in Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe).
@Jason Kott It is...
...but only in Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe)
Am I the only one who finds some of the simpler tracks fun and the gameplay can be really fun and exciting?
Good job! You worked very hard on this!
I watch these videos because I love your commentary. It's great!
Great video! It's nice to see how the average of every cup's tracks delivers a completely new result. I'd never expect to see Mario Kart 7's Star Cup on the first place. It was a quite enjoyable cup and I like how you ranked Wario's Galleon 10th overall, but I guess I would never choose this cup to be one of my favorites without mathematical arguments. :D
Would be interesting to know if your feeling about this ranking matches with the maths or were you surprised yourself?
Fun fact: neo bowser city in the german version its called coopas big city fever
I literally read the title, opened the video, thought of what my favorite cup is (mk7 star cup) skipped to the end and he got it right!! you have good taste man
this was uploaded on my birthday , i didnt even have to watch the previous video even though i will get to it. i do really like the analysis of the cups here.
my favorite cup is the flower cup from the ds wich include: desert hills, delfino square, waluigi pinballmachine and mushroom ridge.
Shroom ridge is definitley underrated !
30:39 i think seven will take the number 1 spot. I knew it because I have seen the best 145 an best 71 tracks like ten times
Now this. This my friend has made me subscribe to your channel. Well done
1:19 was really thirsty without knowledge,thx for the info haha
Personally mine would probs have to be special cup wii (I am not biased to wii I just think the physics engine makes the tracks so much more fun, especially Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road, my favourite renditions of their respective names)
I agree that is such an amazing cup
By the top 5 spot, I'd think 7 would take the cake. Love 7 a lot!
I watched All the ads full out just to support My Boys amazing content and work
despite mk7 having the worst roster ever, it does have some bangers of tracks. Somehow their retro tracks aren't as boring
Ds, Wii, and 7 are the best games in my opinion, and it seems they all hold up to and surpass modern Mario Kart track standards.
I never understood the love for that music track
MK7s retro cups are the best in the series. Luigis mansion? Coconut mall? Maple treeway? Daisy cruiser! Yes please!
In my opinion the lightning cup has never failed in any game it's been in. Always has great retro picks
DS' lightning cup was a little weak compared to most cause of the selection but yeah I agree, the lightning cups are always fun and memorable.
how you don’t have 500k+ subs is beyond me. your content is original, the quality of it is supreme, you come across as a nice guy, all whilst getting some puns in your videos and being extremely professional. keep up the good work man!!
This comment made my day. Thanks!
jamiethepayne commenting at 8am on a Sunday? I rate the work ethic😂
It was extremely professional. I thought he would have several hundred thousand subs at least. I hadn't paid any attention to it until I saw this comment bc I just assumed that content this well made came only from people with many more subs, I am glad to see I was wrong.
He deserves at least 100k, he has great videos but doesn't get the attention he deserves
@@notyepper Agreed.
As a person who grew up with MK7, it makes my heart happy to see it do so well.
I had completely forgotten how much I loved 3ds Star Cup until now
I'm so glad we got waluigi pinball as a mk8 dlc remake, the new version is one of my favorite tracks of all time! (along with neo bowser city - maybe my #1 of all, koopa cape, mushroom gorge, wii's rainbow road, music park, and big blue)
Best Cup from every Mario Kart (Because Video Too long didn't watch.)
Super Mario Kart: Special Cup
Mario Kart 64: Special Cup
Mario Kart Super Circuit: Lightning Cup
Mario Kart Double Dash: Special Cup
Mario Kart DS: Special Cup
Mario Kart Wii: Special Cup
Mario Kart 7: Star Cup
Mario Kart 8: Lightning Cup
(In My Opinion.) The Best Cup is the Wii U / Switch Lightning Cup.
DS Tick-Tock Clock (3)
3DS Piranha Plant Slide (7)
Wii Grumble Volcano (8)
N64 Rainbow Road (1)
(3+7+8+1)/4 = 4.75
TTC and N64 RR kinda suck lmao
GCN Yoshi Circuit is my favorite Mario Kart course of all time.
Wow. Talk about putting it into perspective. I gotta hand it to ya, Jamie. You've done your homework. I'm not saying this is anything remotely close to my rankings of all the tracks, but I'm not saying it isn't. Honestly, I don't know if I'm gonna find out anytime soon. This is just... You have got to be the first person on TH-cam to do this.
I'll do Top 37 cups (not including retro) with your system. For DLC, I'll judge them from the NITRO tracks, so the Retro won't include.

I think dlc cups not having retro tracks kinda give them an unfair advantage
GCN RR should be higher btw
Mario Kart Wii's special cup is easily my favorite cup ever. It's the only cup with 4 tracks I love
tpask162 exactly should be easy #1 he completly snubbed moon view highway
BustyBagel shut up Mario Kmart Wii fanboys
Lol what about MK8’s Star Cup
@@lordroy88 I can't remember the tracks for that one. I don't play MK8 enough
Lord Iggy 88 Mario kart wii has the best tracks and it’s really not that close ion know why you call us fanboys for having a correct opinion

Why is Double Dash's Star Cup so low? It has some of the best tracks in the game imo.
Sherbet Land isn’t fun to play on
Are you telling me that a cup from mk wii isnt in top 1? 😂😂😂
Shut up stupid Mario Kart Wii fanboy
@@lordroy88 no u stfu u 5 year old that has a mario character picture lmao
@@AngryJohnArbuckle your sandwich recipe is fucking trash
10:11 ''The star of the show is Cheese Land.''
*Gets a Star from the item box*
I see what you did there.
I hope you're willing to talk about the booster pack cups/tracks in 8 when they're all released. Maple Treeway is in one of the cups after all
N64 Bowser’s Castle should be waaaaaaaayyy higher
Mario kart DS has the Worst retro tracks imo.
Mk7 ruined all Wii tracks
Mk8 had great tracks but I hated the gameplay and PHYSICS
Mkw is the best mk imo because of the great tracks (only 2 tracks I dont like) the best gameplay gameplay and it's super fun messing with the PHYSICS and mkw had the best shortcuts in any Mario kart game, plus addicting online play.
Mk7 was just meh
I was Shadow Masters in 2018, and I made my new channel
holy your channel is so good!
I’m just happy that the cups with Piranha Plant Pipeway got on the high spots!
You should rank every track/cup in the booster course pass once it's finished
Great video, you earned a sub
I just realised that if you dont know who princess Daisy is you would think the mario kart 7 track was about the flowers
You got some extremely hot takes in here wow
Your bell cup especially is just so baffling
Can't say that I agree with the list but I sure had fun watching the vid!
“What delightful tracks have we got this time” is so passive aggressive I love it
ayyy mates
I’ve learnt something, if a cup has piranha plant pipeway, it’s automatically good
I feel like the math alone ranking on this made this interesting to observe, as I don’t think it’s accurate and I think there are some fascinating things to take away:
These rankings feel more like “the best track bundles given by Nintendo” versus what I think a track fully encompasses. A lot of cups you were even like “I’m surprised it’s this low” and it’s because easy simple track(s) brought it down so much, which I get. However, one simple track at the beginning makes for a better overall cup playthru, and I think it weighed to heavily on cups that are honestly probably the ones I picked at the top. With that, I think a track with a higher overall average in less likely to pick, because it’s not a stand out to me (I think some individual tracks REALLY can push a cup up for me)
I just wanted to explain as I think it is about an experience, and I’d personally prefer something more subjective. Enjoyed watching tho!
I think you've never shelled someone off the edge of the ramp in Wario Stadium N64. There's nothing more euphoric than getting first because you timed that green shell perfectly to ruin someone's day
Hello just watching this before an essay is due tomorrow lol 😂Just one thing. If you had to rank the cups by tiers SS to F, where would each cup stack up against each other 😊
19:51 Although. There was that hidden tunnel shortcut was nerfed out of the game.
Yeah, I think Nintendo should have just left the GameCube tracks alone when it came to putting them on a handheld with less power.
Glad to see MK8 Lightning Cup so high up! My favorite MK8 cup too!
I went around TH-cam and perused a number of "top 145 tracks" lists, and was able to come up with a general list of "top Nitro cups" based on the various rankings I found, and used pretty much the same scoring system you did. (There weren't enough rankings that included Retro tracks for me to include Retro and DLC cups.) Let's see how my list compares to yours. I'm including your ranking at the end, adjusted to account for the lack of retro and DLC cups in my list:
33 - 3DS Mushroom Cup [T26]
32 - GBA Mushroom Cup [32]
31 - SNES Flower Cup [33]
30 - DS Mushroom Cup [T26]

28 - N64 Mushroom Cup [23]
27 - SNES Star Cup

3 - 3DS Star Cup [1]
2 - WiiU Star Cup [4]
1 - GCN Special Cup [7]
Definitely some variance here, but there seems to be a good deal of agreement in general. Biggest discrepancy by far here is GCN Mushroom Cup; apparently Luigi Circuit isn't nearly as well-loved for most players as it was for you, and Baby Park is a very love-it-or-hate-it track, which means the ranking of that track varies wildly.
The most underrated youtuber of all time, 3750 subs? That’s *criminally low*
my personal favorite cup is 8's Leaf Cup
i love Music Park/Melody Motorway, Wario Stadium & Yoshi Valley
only Sherbet Land i am less fond of, but it is still a rather relaxing stage to race through, thanks to its music
Why did that cup pun at the start make me laugh, lol.
I was praying for 3/4's of the video that mk8 lightning cup was going to win simply because tick tock clock it my favorite track in the series and of how overall good that cup is, and I was really disappointed to see it at number 2, but I'm also glad because at least it was the cup that would've won if it weren't for number 1
that's my mk8 lightning cup
