What sucks most of all about this track not making it is that the version in Tour made some really cool aesthetic changes, the main one that jumps to mind is the addition of a bar area inside the ship with a bunch of Bowser’s minions just hanging out and watching the racers go by them.
The pub/bar kinda subtracts from the atmosphere. It’s way less intimating and claustrophobic since you’ve just got enemies causally sitting and having drinks. It’s a cute idea but it’s the equivalent of putting a disco club in a Bowser’s Castle track.
Airship fortress is one of the few popular tracks in where I actually agree with the consensus, the aesthetic is one of my favorites in the series, with the purple skybox perfectly matching the desolate war theme with the airships. I like the obstacles with the burners getting their own section and the design of the room they're in looks incredible like its some sort of engine room at the end of the ships thrusters and bullet bills which is interesting considering its an Item in the game this track originated from up to 8 Deluxe, they were remade to Banzai bills in 7 which I actually like more since Banzai Bills aren't really used as obstacles on any other track. Overall this track definitely deserves it's praise, can't say that for a lot of other courses
4:37 do you think these specific rocky wrenches are just called "rocky" for their lack of wrenches nintendo can we confirm this i need more rocky cameos
As someone who was introduced to Airship Fortress in Mario Kart Tour, it's one of my favorite tracks in that game, and I'm also surprised it didn't make it into the Booster Course Pass! There's a lot of good remakes stuck in Tour. I hope they all return in Mario Kart 10, but that may just be a little too optimistic...
6:20 as I kid I always imagined the tower having a spooky face with windows for eyes and you entering its mouth. As an adult it is now canon in my eyes
I'd argue that Mushroom Bridge and Piranha Plant Pipeline have been more undeservedly shafted, given that the BCP _was_ going to include a fourth GCN course and a seventh prefixless course initially, but then got replaced with either Moonview Highway or Daisy Circuit from Wii, and Rosalina's Ice World from 3DS (great tracks in their own right, but we really lost what could've been a banger rearrangement of a banger music track for the Mushroom Bridge/City courses). However, Airship Fortress is a great course as well, and I can totally understand why people are miffed that Airship Fortress missed its chance to Mario Circuit. If the BCP had room for a fifth DS course, Airship Fortress would've definitely been included too.
Everyone hates how they brought back Mario Circuit DS instead of tracks like this, but imagine if they brought back Figure-8 Circuit from DS instead (actually this is like the one game where it would be fitting to bring back because it's Mario Kart 8)
Eh, we already have a figure 8 track in the main game. I don't think we need two, plus DS Figure 8 Circuit just looks kinda pland. I vouch for Airship Fortress a hundred times more.
The theory I've seen that I currently subscribe to is that they're holding back a few favorites like this and Toad's Factory because they need some strong retro tracks for the next Mario Kart game
I love your videos I just found your channel this year, I am a senior in college and love to watch your videos while working on my art for school. Your videos are professional and very funny!
Honestly this track and DSRR are the two I wanted back the most, they were my top favs even back when I was a moron kid I was so dissapointed neither came back for the pass
I’ve always loved Airship Fortress. It was my favourite course on MKDS along with Tick Tock Clock. Was gutted when I realised it wouldn’t be in the MK8DX DLC. Airship Fortress has always felt very Mario Galaxy-ish to me, even though it was released before SMG. Only because I played SMG before MKDS
the way you feel about this track not being added in the booster course pass over mario circuit is how i feel about wario shipyard not being added over rock rock mountain
I feel like one thing people are missing is that like, future Mario Kart games will also have their own retro rosters, and if their retro rosters are too similar to the old games, it reduces the level of variety and representation, so not all amazing retros would fit in every retro roster. Therefore, I don't think Nintendo not including Airship Fortress is them making a mistake, but instead that they're saving it for Mario Kart 9, where it will probably be even cooler than it would have been had it released in 8. Had they released it in 8, either they'd be making repeat retro tracks adding it in 9, which is just repeating stuff and losing out on creative potential, or it wouldn't be able to be a retro in 9, which could potentially use it better than 8.
While I was initially disappointed that Airship Fortress wasn't put in the BCP in favor for Mario Circuit. At the very least, they made DS Mario Circuit actually good and fun to play. If Airship Fortress was in the BCP, it'd probably based on the Tour version which isn't terrible (cuz I play Tour myself unlike most Mario Kart players) but definitely a little lack luster since it's mostly based on the 7 version which is already mostly the same as the original. Hopefully they return Airship Fortress in the next Mario Kart game with significant changes that makes the track even better
im honestly glad it wasnt added to 8. i absolutely despise what tour did to the background and interior, and im glad this track's only potential to come back in the next 20 years wasn't wasted on the worst version of it
Mario Kart DS is so good that I bought it long after MK Wii came out and I STILL had tons of fun with it. Those old Lego Mario Kart DS videos with the Kool-Aid Man committing property damage were effective advertisements. Airship Fortress has some killer vibes that I'd love to see as a Smash stage, honestly.
DS had some absolute BANGER tracks. The first track that comes to mind when I think of Mario Kart DS is Bowser Castle. It's the section with the rotating red carpet, the Thwomps, the spinning barrel at the end you need to try and balance on...such a fantastic course.
I also want to bring up the redesign the Rocky Wrenches got for Mario Kart 8 on Rome Avanti to resemble their appearance in SMB3, which would fit in the one track based on the airships from SMB3.
Call this a shallow reason, but I'm glad this track wasn't in the BCP because of its visuals in Tour. It was given a more lava-centric theme in the background and the airship has a more generic NSMB design rather than the unique SMB3 design. The fortress looks pretty cool in Tour tho :)
Another difference that the 3DS Remake has over the Original is that you can now drive on top of the little Walls on the beginning of the track, avoiding every bullet bill
I'm actually glad Airship Fortress and Toad's Factory were missed by the BCP, as this will allow them to get more in depth overhauls rather than the port updates from tour. I expect the next Mario Kart to really show off the switch 2's capabilities, just how Mario Kart 8 did for the Wii U. I expect Nintendo to come out swinging with the next game, as MK8D was really their evergreen baby for the system.
To be fair blame Peach Gardens for getting in since majority of the tracks from Waves 1-3 in the BCP were primarily focused on tracks from Tours first 2 years 2019-2021 which Airship Fortress was a Year 1 track added during the Pirate Tour back in August 2020
Best of luck with the college projects bro. I saw this video just now cuz of being overloaded with homework so I too understand the pain of the American-college-standard-education system :D👍
I’m largely convinced we dodged a bullet by not having Airship Fortress in the BCP. I love Airship Fortress as a track on the whole, but the Tour version had a few questionable changes that I don’t think the slight tweaks would’ve fixed. And as much as I like DK Pass (and yes I do care about it), even that one did get a slightly altered remake.
This does have a benefit! It means the next Mario kart game that comes around, if they choose to remake it, it’ll look better and be higher quality than the BCP tracks.
I am not sure if the tiny audio loop at 5:22 should be there but oh well it did make me confused and you could have just perfectly mimicked the mast line
In super Mario 3D land there's a level with spinning blocks and bubbles and shit (I think in w8) and there are rocky wrenches that aren't in an airship there, so there you go

Also if they brought it in, it would've had the crappy skybox and lava from tour. No clue why they changed that.

The fact that Mario Circuit DS returned over this...
The first road with the Bullet Bills could make for a cool glider segment. You're flying from the fortress to the ship.
