Mario Kart 7 is really great, but what will forever hurt me is the fact THERE IS NO VERSUS MODE. If it just had that, I would have so much fun just playing through all the tracks in any order I would want. Sadly the only way to do it in single player is time trails, otherwise just have to playthrough the Grand Prixes with their track order.
Yeah ryderkartdx you're right this game is really underrated, and I feel like this is a game that not so many people talks about compere to Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. But maybe they/we should, because this is actually a really fun Mario Kart game. Sure it doesn't have VS mode or Waluigi and all that, but thats ok because Mario Kart 7 has in my opinion a pretty good Character Roster and the best selection of courses in the entire series. Especially the Retro Courses, like almost every slot in Mario Kart 7's Retro Grand Prix is a fan favorite.
29:43-30:09 I love how happy she sounds while talking about Wuhu Mountain Loop here 😄 It honestly adds a nostalgic charm to this part, as someone who grew up with this game, alongside MKDS and MKWii.
I'm glad that my last official server online race in Mario Kart 7 was a win on Airship Fortress, one of my all time favorites. I'll definitely check out the Pretendo servers eventually, although I'm focused on other games right now. I'm so happy to see fans keeping Wii U and 3DS online alive.
I personally think that both of the names are good. I just wish that the graphics were the eight version of rock rock Mountain were better and that we actually got Wario shipyard (but I’m more used to using the American names because some more of the Mario kart youtubers I like are American, and I myself am American so those are the names I see)
It's crazy that for a track originally planned for the Wii U DLC, Shy Guy Bazaar still hasn't returned outside of Tour. I really hope to see it in glorious HD in the next Mario Kart.
I like to imagine that Bertil Auris is the type of guy to overlook Mario Kart 7 but will be triggered if someone says 3DS Rainbow Road isn't that good.
I can’t be the only person who understands the name Rock Rock Mountain. It comes from the fact that it’s a mountain of rock, and the song that plays is of the rock genre. So it’s actually an awesome name.
Pretty good ranking Albert Boris, there were some course that I would've switch between but still a good list. I'm was happy to hear you say that this game is probebly your favorite one in the series (finally someone who give Mario Kart 7 the respect it deservs).
I'm glad you have 3DS Mario Circuit in contention for your favorite Mario Circuit. The cherry blossoms, the pipes with wind blowing out of them, and the segment in Peach's Castle always made it a winner for me.
Albert Boris would be the type of person to make a Pokégirl ranking, put Serena in last place, and just with this, make her the most hated Pokégirl even though before the video, she was the most popular one😂
I'm so glad someone else loves RRM as much as I do, it's more than just the "glider tutorial" course, it's an epic adventure with some of the best mario kart music ever constructed!
I normally like the European names of the tracks but assigning the name "Wuhu Mountain Loop" to the first track ever to not loop is fucking ridiculous. Maka Wuhu all the way baby!
My main problem with Cheep Cheep Cape is that its only reason to exist is to say "hey we have underwater driving" to the player. It’s so uninspired that it almost feels like Nintendo used AI to make this course, which is not a compliment at all given my standards & the fact that I’m rather anti-AI.
Schafrillis and Albert boris! This is so amazing I can't wait to watch it and I'm hoping for alpine pass to be high Edit: WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT, THIS IS THE BEST RANKING I'VE SEEN
Calling DKC Returns bland is wiiiild- We all have our own opinions tho. Personally I'm a huge fan of the game and think the art direction is genuinely incredible, though again, to each their own. d:
Fun fact: In the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions of the game, the names for the Wuhu tracks are even less inspired. Wuhu Island Loop is just named "Wuhu Island 1" and Wuhu Mountain Loop is just named "Wuhu Island 2" XD
33:03 The song that was played in that scene is named "Mr.Double Trouble". You can listen to the full OST in my TH-cam Channel if you are interested. Anyways, yep, basically my ranking is pretty much all of the 7 courses. This and the Wii were very iconic in my childhood. So seeing you do it was cool af. Keep up the work!
I think Albert Boris has a vendetta against me. First DK Mountain robbing Dino Dino Jungle and it being really high up here, and then Airship Fortress 16th NOT deserving of a BCP slot?? :(
Let the records show that I predicted 3DS Rosalina’s Ice World for the Booster Pass. Also, Rock Rock Mountain is the superior name because it reminds me of a Mario 64 level name. And if anyone still doesn’t get the Boston Building joke, then I don’t know what to say except for… ZOO WEE MAMA!
All of the anchors and the purple coloring of Wario Shipyard/Wario's Galleon always stood out to me, but I swear it was always my bad luck track online.
@@AlbertBoris When I was younger, my bad luck track was in Mario Kart Wii, and it was Shy Guy Beach, against computers AND online. I would ALWAYS get hit by the bombs from the pirate ships.
When I play Mario Kart with my dad and we get DK Jungle he tends to bring up that the end would be a lot cooler if the pillars actually fell like in the game.
While I slightly prefer DK Mountain to Dino Dino Jungle, I definitely want to see Dino Dino Jungle in HD in the next Mario Kart. That new glider ramp in the cave in Mario Kart 7 is such a great addition.
I agree that it's hard going back to 7's version of Kalimari Desert after playing the one in 8 Deluxe. All 3 laps being the same and the train hardly being an obstacle makes 7's version vastly inferior.
Airship Fortress is one of my favorite tracks in the game, but I agree with you that the end is the weakest part, and I hope an eventual second remake improves on that part of the track.
Favorite Retro Tracks in Mario kart 7 are: 6. N64 Luigi Raceway 5. DS Luigi's Mansion 4. DS Waluigi Pinball 3. DS Airship Fortress 2. SNES Mario Circuit 2 And My Most Favorite of all time...Yep you guessed it: 1. GBA Bowser's Castle 1 🥳🎉 Why? BECAUSE I LOVE THE GBA BOWSER'S CASTLE TRACKS!!! The Music is AMAZING By the way! :D
Finally, someone else is praising Rock Rock Mountain(not calling it Alpine Pass) other than me Also, here's my list(not in order btw, even tho Rock Rock Mountain is my Number 1) S Teir, Wuhu Loop, Rock Rock Mountain, Neo Bowser City, Maka Wuhu, DK Jungle, Rosalina's Ice World, Bower's Castle, Rainbow Road, Wii Mushroom Gorge, Wii Coconut Mall, DS Waluigi Pinball, GCN Daisy Cruiser, Wii Maple Treeway, and Wii Koopa Cape A Teir, Mario Circuit, Music Park, Piranha Plant Slide, DS Luigi's Mansion, GCN Dino Dino Jungle, DS Airship Fortress, and SNES Rainbow Road B Teir, Toad Circuit, N64 Koopa Cape, N64 Kalimari Desert, and DS DK Pass C Teir, Daisy Hills, Cheep Cheep Lagoon, Shy Guy Bazaar, Wario Shipyard, N64 Luigi Raceway, GBA Bower Castle, SNES Mario Circuit 2, Also Noticed how I didn't put a D or F Teir because MK7 doesn't have a single bad track, all nitro and retro
As someone who loves Daisy Cruiser, I find it odd you penalize Airship and Pinball for lacking shortcuts, but you don't for Cruiser. Very fun video otherwise, my top 3 is very close to yours.
I do find Daisy Cruiser to also have a more charming atmosphere, and its potential feels more fully realized than in those other two maps (which feel kinda wasted in terms of layout), hence why it ended up higher!
Great video! Here's my ranking of the nitro tracks: 16) Cheep Cheep Cape. It’s like a mix of Cheep Cheep Beach and Koopa Cape if it was bad. The fact that this course is just a showcase for the underwater driving doesn’t help. It’s just a boring oval. It almost feels like a course ChatGPT would make rather than an official course. I think that's why it's so hated. And for me, it deserves it. 15) Toad Circuit. At least it’s not as boring as some other circuits. But it’s still really bland. It's just a better Wii Luigi Circuit. 14) Bowser’s Castle. One of the weakest Bowser Castles in the franchise. It just feels like Nintendo felt forced to put underwater driving somewhere in the two last tracks. The rest just sounds like they put all their ideas in one track without coherence. The music is such a banger though! 13) Mario Circuit. Honestly, this might be my favorite Mario Circuit. At least I don’t fall asleep everytime I play it (looking at you, GBA Mario Circuit). But… yeah it’s a simple circuit. What did you expect? 12) Daisy Hills. Already the tracks are starting to get better. I love the cheery music of this track and the glider section is really neat. The atmosphere is charming too. It just puts me into a good mood when I play it. I found out some people actually hate this track, and I don't understand why. 11) Wuhu Mountain Loop. Yeah it’s a bit overrated. I mean, the course is just a simple mountain for half the time. As Schaffrillas said in his MK7 ranking, the cave section could have used some lava. Not the worst thing I've ever played, but yeah, the glider section carries it hard. 10) Neo Bowser City. Great theming, great music, great layout with really tight turns. Just a shame that the course feels a little repetitive. 9) Rainbow Road. Honestly this might be the most overrated track in the whole series. The parts on the planets are really majestic at first, and still cool the other times you play them. But the rest is really slow and boring, except for the final section. It’s also WAAAAY too easy for what is supposed to be the final challenge. This is clearly the lesser of the two most popular Rainbow Roads for me, with the other one, the Wii version, being a strong contender for the best track of all time. 8) Alpine Pass. It has a good theming. The glider sections are exhilarating. The music is a banger as well. 7) DK Jungle. I love the DKCR references here. Despite having a simple theme, the course makes up for it with fairly various scenery. You’ve got deep jungle, waterfalls, and the famous golden temple. I dig this course. 6) Melody Motorway. Great concept for a track. The music is really good, the layout is the perfect difficulty for this cup, and the obstacles are fairly varied. 5) Piranha Plant Slide. Great SMB1 theming with peak music. 4) Rosalina’s Ice World. I don’t understand the hate for this track. It’s got gorgeous scenery, and great music. The layout is the perfect difficulty, and even if the theme feels weird, the dreamy atmosphere of this track fits Rosalina pretty well. 3) Wario Shipyard. It has a unique theme that has never been done before or after. The music is peak and the atmosphere is ominous but also cool at the same time. 2) Wuhu Island Loop. Easily the better Wuhu track in this game. It has this vacation feeling that Maka Wuhu was kinda lacking. Plus, the music is great. There are really cool shortcuts as well. 1) Shy Guy Bazaar. Underrated gem. The music is great. The scenery is gorgeous. The part with the 2 big jumps before the glider section is really thrilling. The layout has the perfect level of difficulty here. And the theming is not only great, but also really unique.
While I think 3DS Bowser's Castle is the weakest 3D Bowser's Castle, it's grown on me over the years. It is so much different than the others. I'm glad the developers tried something new instead of just having another giant mechanical Bowser.
Thanks for having me! I still can't believe they changed Boston Building to Luigi's Mansion in my region
zooweemama
Gotta be honest, the name Boston Building absolutely slaps
Boston building!
SAME. PAL GETS CHANGED :(
You not standing up to Albert for putting kalamari desert castle!?!
NO WAY YOU GOT SHINEY CRAB GUY! Great vid btw.
I NEED BIG DADDY SIR MUSTY HRWPOIWHE
33:18 I bursted out laughing, even though I knew that was going to happen 🤣🤣
Another Albert classic? With the crab fella too? Im grabbing the popcorn for this one
Missed opportunity to have a "I LOVE TRAINS" and "WOOHOO FINALLY IT’S TOAD CIRCUT!" joke by Schaffrillas.
Real
But the toad circuit joke only works for the crappy remake
@@jackthesmoltangerine They could have said "It’s just Toad Circuit not TOAD CIRCUT" like in Schaffrillas' MK7 ranking.
@@CaptainRillaboomArmenia real. With the lowercase comic sans font for mk7 version and everything

I can't believe Albert didn't know it was called Boston Building, how could he not know such an obvious fact.

16:26 that 30-second joke even going up to the next track name, that was AMAZING! Great content as always
Mario Kart 7 is the definition of an underrated game. Thanks for having me on for another collab! 🔥

I remember your first appearance in the Double Dash rankings, for the same reason. This whole DK Mountain Dino Jungle thing.
33:39-33:43 Then you GOTTA visit Embrun and its surrounding hiking trails, in the French Alps. It’s exactly that, and it’s soooo beautiful.
29:43-30:09 I love how happy she sounds while talking about Wuhu Mountain Loop here 😄
It honestly adds a nostalgic charm to this part, as someone who grew up with this game, alongside MKDS and MKWii.
Rock rock Mountain jumpscare: something that nobody ask but we all needed
“Alpine Pass!😄”
“ROCK ROCK MOUNTAIN!!!👹👹👹👹”
Fun fact: Rosalina’s Ice World is the only MK7 nitro track without a glider panel.
It’s kinda surprising, given that it’s a Special Cup track.
It’s funny how Kalimari Desert is in the Leaf Cup despite the Banana Cup of this game having 4 tracks that are all harder than it.
I'm glad that my last official server online race in Mario Kart 7 was a win on Airship Fortress, one of my all time favorites. I'll definitely check out the Pretendo servers eventually, although I'm focused on other games right now. I'm so happy to see fans keeping Wii U and 3DS online alive.
My last race was on Rainbow Road! Sadly, I was in 6th place, but it was a fun final contest!
THE BOSTON BUILDING BIT LIVES ON
Famous last words: “Alpine pass”
“ROCK ROCK MOUNTAIN!”
I love the use of advanced castle after the realization of his second name being advanced
First Boston Building, then Accelerated Toilet, and now Advanced Castle/Advanced Circuit.
WHERES MY BIG DADDY SIR MUSTY
6:16 you nearly scared me to death of a heart attack lol 😂 😂 😂
4:26 This "WHAT?" was kinda funny tbh X)
The best part about 7 is that if you talk to people overseas about Rock Rock Mountain and Wario's Shipyard they get very confused
I personally think that both of the names are good. I just wish that the graphics were the eight version of rock rock Mountain were better and that we actually got Wario shipyard (but I’m more used to using the American names because some more of the Mario kart youtubers I like are American, and I myself am American so those are the names I see)
2:33 I love how when she says "and in last place...", it cuts to 3DS Rainbow Road, A.K.A the biggest fan favorite from this game LMAO
Psychological warfare
It's crazy that for a track originally planned for the Wii U DLC, Shy Guy Bazaar still hasn't returned outside of Tour. I really hope to see it in glorious HD in the next Mario Kart.
15:30 I actually like to think DK Pass is the the road you drive on to get to DK Summit/Snowboard Cross
8:14 WHAAAATTTTT, I don’t think you’ve ever heard the rocket barrel theme
I like to imagine that Bertil Auris is the type of guy to overlook Mario Kart 7 but will be triggered if someone says 3DS Rainbow Road isn't that good.

The first thing I did when I got the notification was checking Number 1, because given your hot takes, I KNEW it wasn't Rainbow Road XD
So epic you got James in your video!!
Albert Boris would be the type of person to make a Pokégirl ranking, put Serena in last place, and just with this, make her the most hated Pokégirl even though before the video, she was the most popular one😂
Over a decade after its initial release, I hope we still see a Tropical Freeze track one day to go alongside DK Jungle.
I love how you see many aspects of Mario Kart games so differently than Schaffrillas does.
I'm so glad someone else loves RRM as much as I do, it's more than just the "glider tutorial" course, it's an epic adventure with some of the best mario kart music ever constructed!
Also, the glider tutorial course was Daisy Hills and anyone who forgets that is stupid
FR Wario’w shipyard is the best! The music is amazing I agree with you 100%
Ooh nice a collab with Schaffrillas! I’m excited!
Once again, as someone living in America, Alpine Pass is a far better name than the Rock Rock Mountain name we got over here.
I'm sorry there's not enough people talking about Donkey Kong *Country Returns* being described as bland and boring that's an INSANE take
I find returns better than DKC 3
I normally like the European names of the tracks but assigning the name "Wuhu Mountain Loop" to the first track ever to not loop is fucking ridiculous. Maka Wuhu all the way baby!
First you got to appear in the funny crab man’s video, and now he appears in yours! It’s insane how far you’ve come as a creator!
ALBERT W AS ALWAYS!
I hope they improve the glider physics in MK9. They were so much free and smooth in MK7.
ROCK ROCK MOUNTAIN had me f-ing dying 🤣🤣
My main problem with Cheep Cheep Cape is that its only reason to exist is to say "hey we have underwater driving" to the player.
It’s so uninspired that it almost feels like Nintendo used AI to make this course, which is not a compliment at all given my standards & the fact that I’m rather anti-AI.
It’s better than waterpark because it has a theme even if that theme is the ocean
Can’t believe you got Schaffrillas. I love him
Schafrillis and Albert boris! This is so amazing
I can't wait to watch it and I'm hoping for alpine pass to be high
Edit: WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT, THIS IS THE BEST RANKING I'VE SEEN

I literally NEVER had my path blocked by the train in MK7's remake of Kalamari Desert.
Hype intro
seriously thank you for watching my stupid video means a lot (rip sir musty)
The only experience I have with these tracks are in Mario Kart Tour. And I have to say Shy Guy Bazaar is one of my favorites. The music just fits.
I think Albert Boris has a vendetta against me. First DK Mountain robbing Dino Dino Jungle and it being really high up here, and then Airship Fortress 16th NOT deserving of a BCP slot?? :(
Respect for not putting Waluigi's Pinball close to number 1 at all, makes the list more interesting
Let the records show that I predicted 3DS Rosalina’s Ice World for the Booster Pass.

Great video! Here's my ranking of the nitro tracks:

I personally think it’s something like B tier. Still good but highly overrated
