It seems like for ages Super Bell Subway got no love, glad that seems to be changing as it is easily one of the best tracks in the franchise! Flipping love that course.
Personally I feel Wild Woods is hella underappreciated. It’s one of those tracks most people do enjoy and think is good, but forget about it more than most others. For me though it’s in my top 10 for sure
Big Blue is probably my most favorite because the music is absolutely amazing! But I feel like all the Wii U DLC Tracks were all amazing and had their own challenges! Especially Neo Bowser City’s challenging turns lol
I love Wild Woods so much ❤, in my humble opinion it's the most underrated nitro track in MK8 along with Dolphin Shoals! The stage is beautiful, it's a lot of fun to run through the trees, the turns are fun to do, it's really cool to jump over the leaves in the part with the water, the shortcut at the end is nice and the music... Man the music in this stage deserves more respect!!! Neo Bowser City is great!!! Those who don't like it I truly believe it's because of the difficulty XD but once you learn how to make those turns, it's a delight to go through the stage hehe. One of my favorite tracks from MK7!!! Anyway great video Albert ;D
I'm glad someone else loves Cheese Land! It's my favorite course in the game. Everything about it is just so good. The theme, the visuals, the music, the shortcuts, and everything else make it such a fun track.
I agree. Excitebike Arena is very overrated. I still like it though. Also Ice Ice Outpost, Super Bell Subway, Wild Woods, and Dragon Driftway are very underrated.
20:52 Depends on the track. Squeaky-Clean Sprint is my third favorite course of all time, and several remakes that this DLC gave us are some of the best glow-ups I’ve seen in my gaming experience. And city tracks like L.A Laps and Madrid Drive are in my top 20 courses of all time as well.
I think I'll try to find a balance between Mario Kart and mainline Mario content, once the Booster Course Pass is over! Hopefully, Super Mario Bros. Wonder will give me a headstart!
My ranking : 1st : Super Bell Subway 2nd : GBA Cheese Land 3rd : Wild Woods 4th : GBA Ribbon Road 5th : Hyrule Circuit 6th : Wii Wario’s Gold Mine 7th : 3DS Neo Bowser City 8th : Animal Crossing 9th : Dragon Driftway 10th : Mute City 11th : GCN Yoshi Circuit 12th : SNES Rainbow Road 13th : Big Blue 14th : Excitebike Arena 15th : Ice Ice Outpost 16th : GCN Baby Park Will you do a Top 10 of your favorites Mario Kart tracks of all time?
Super Bell Subway is the best! However Cheese Land is way lower for me, that fact that they changed it backdrop and removed the mice are a big no for me. The whole 'the moon is cheese' pun it gone. Because of this is leans more to a generic desert track which I think is a shame.
@@ZombieManF Super Bell Subway is overrated. The track design is okay, but sometime too much. The gimmock is an empty gesture to me. The music is so boring.
@@ZombieManF Ice Ice Outpost has much better music and I like racing on an iceberg. The main thing I like is two separate sides of the track as one, making it unique. Otherwise it would be a 7.
He, Albert Boris. Something I just came up with is this -- Remember that the NES Excitebike had different color pallettes for some of its tracks? I think it's a missed opportunity that the MK8 variants don't take advantage of this feature. It would help set different versions of the course apart from each other, while still having basically the same theme.
This DLC was really well rounded, I really love all the tracks (except Baby Park). 2 oval tracks were kinda sucky but besides that it was pretty awesome, I never got to enjoy this on the WiiU personally :(
2:47 bruh how does it sound like depression both versions of the music are a bop 17:13 lol get gud 17:36 This is my favorite track in the game. Love it.
@@aidansilli4257 maybe, but at the same time, Zelda probably did have more leeway in terms of how it could be translated into a racetrack, rather than fully sticking to being “like the original source material” like the tracks based on racing games did, which is probably why he liked Hyrule Circuit the best out of all the crossover tracks Also, even when not considering that it’s a “Zelda-themed” track, I just think the layout is slightly better than those other two circuits
How to fix Excitebike Arena: 1-Make the layout more complex and engaging. If this course was in the Shell Cup, it would be acceptable. But when it’s placed between Yoshi Circuit and Dragon Driftway, this oval layout feels off. I think the layout should be close to a track like Waluigi Stadium. 2-Halfway through the track, we should have an antigravity section that passes above the bleachers with twisty turns and some jumps, to make this track feel a bit more grand. 3-At the end, you jump under the stadium and you get to a "behind the scenes" section. You come out by climbing a road tilted at 90 degrees, then you end the track with a glider. Now the track may feel less like Excitebike, but I think this little sacrifice is worth it because the track is honestly a lot more interesting like that.
Here is my True Ranking of all Mario Kart 8’s DLC Courses 16. Wii U Excitebike Arena 15. Wii Wario’s Goldmine 14. SNES Rainbow Road 13. Wii U Mute City 12. Wii U Ice Ice Outpost 11. GCN Baby Park 10. GCN Yoshi Circuit 9. Wii U Animal Crossing 8. Wii U Big Blue 7. Wii U Dragon Driftway 6. Wii U Hyrule Kingdom 5. Wii U Wild Woods 4. 3DS Neo Bowser City 3. GBA Ribbon Road 2. GBA Cheese Land 1. Wii U Super Bell Subway
My ranking if anyone cares: Big Blue Ribbon Road Wild Woods (soso underrated) Mute City Wario’s Gold Mine Hyrule Circuit Excitebike Arena Yoshi Circuit Baby Park Super Bell Subway Cheese Land (bagging ruins this track) Animal Crossing (gimmick is cool but the layout is horrible) Rainbow Road (SNES) Dragon Driftway Ice Ice Outpost Neo Bowser City
Coming back to this video has just reminded me of how dirty Shy Guy Bazaar was done by Mario Kart 8, skipped over in the Wii U DLC in favour of Koopa City/Neo Bowser City and then skipped over for the Booster Course Pass despite having a chance at getting in due to having a version in Mario Kart Tour… I hope it’ll be in the next game. Anyways, my updated ranking for the Wii U DLC would go something like: 1. Big Blue 2. Animal Crossing 3. SNES Rainbow Road 4. GBA Ribbon Road 5. Hyrule Circuit 6. Wild Woods 7. GCN Yoshi Circuit 8. Ice Ice Outpost 9. Wii Wario’s Gold Mine 10. Dragon Driftway 11. Super Bell Subway 12. GBA Cheese Land 13. Excitebike Arena 14. GCN Baby Park 15. Mute City 16. 3DS Koopa City/Neo Bowser City
Funnily enough, Neo Bowser City is pretty much the **one** exception where I would point to the NTSC name and actually say I like it better because it sounds less generic (at least for me), and I think 'neo' is such an awesome word which adds to the futuristic visuals without (at least for me) being dystopian. Although I might like that word so much just because I love the track. It's another example of me saying you know a song is good because it was used in Super Nintendo World.
My ranking would look like this: 16. Wario's Gold Mine 15. Ice Ice Outpost 14. Animal Crossing 13. SNES Rainbow Road 12. Yoshi Circuit 11. Hyrule Circuit 10. Super Bell Subway 9. Baby Park 8. Wild Woods 7. Cheese Land 6. Ribbon Road 5. Koopa City 4. Excitebike Arena 3. Dragon Driftway 2. Mute City 1. Big Blue
This dude bringing the hot takes with mute city and wario's gold mine. And you never played Zelda!?!?!?! XD My bottom 2 are the horrible dragon stage and neo bowser city since i exclusively play on 200cc with 4 local players
Baby park is the worst mk8 wii u dlc imo, it driving a very small track 7 times & items are so annoying & unfair. I rather take exticebike track because a least that track don’t make the items to annoying
In Cheese land in Mario kart 8 I wish they kept the outer space sky and the mice because now I feel like it’s just another desert course Edit: OG cheese land is goated
My least favourite is SNES Rainbow Road because IT WAS ALREADY REMADE IN MARIO KART 7! I have no idea why they decided to bring back a retro that they just remade in the previous game especially because they were clearly willing to do a lot with these DLC tracks, like if they had to remake a Rainbow Road why not GCN Rainbow Road? What makes the flat and most boring Rainbow Road worthy of two remakes one after another?
It's also just annoying how it's not the ending of a cup. If they wanted to end the cups with the crossover tracks, WHY WAS A RAINBOW ROAD CHOSEN?!?!?!?
I gotta take a moment and talk about how annoying the MK8 take on GBA's Ribbon Road is for me (and I'm a person who only found out about the GBA one recently). It hardly feels like the original course, and I mean that in a bad way. You're racing on this incredibly dull child bedroom floor with a bunch of annoying looking toys all over the place, when in GBA you're racing on a very nice and vivid red carpet with some presents as background. I don't get why I seem to be the only person who feels MK8 Ribbon Road is an incomparable downgrade and disgrace to the original, but I guess I am so I've got to say it.
Ribbon Road and Cheese Land set the standard for GBA Remakes. Underrated tracks, unique concepts held back by limited hardware. Seeing them in a new light from only having 8 remakes to now 18, with Broken Pier and Rainbow Road left just goes to show that GBA tracks are awesome if given the chance.
The courses from the mk 8 dlc where of such good quality. It's also way more fun in original mk 8 to unlock charachters instead of getting them all instant
I don't agree with a lot of things in this video but I gotta say, Superbell Subway at number 1 is pretty based. It's my third favorite track in the entire game, BCP included, only behind Athen's Dash and Hyrule Circuit (my number 2 and 1 respectively). Athens I like the layout and music more, and Zelda is my favorite game series so the bias go crazy but Superbell Subway is fantastic. As a fellow train enjoyer I find the theming to be immaculate, it's certainly my favorite setting in the whole game due to the sheer amount of detail. I wish I could explore this place in real life, especially since actual subways in the States are kinda nasty. The layout is super fun and the optimal lines on this course go pretty crazy as well, especially on 200cc. Overall a fantastic course and although I'd obviously put Hyruke Circuit higher I can't complain about getting Superbell Subway getting some much needed praise, it's gotta be one of the most underrated Mario Kart tracks of all time since it barely gets talked about
For me, one of my favorite Mario Kart courses is easily Ribbon Road. It's my 3rd favorite, just barely being edged out by N64 Rainbow Road- 8 remake, not OG- and Yoshi's Island. Those other 2 are just so magical to me, but Ribbon Road just feels great to play imo.
As a Zelda fan, hearing “a sword” was shocking, because it’s THE Master Sword, I highly recommend to play Zelda really fun franchise. I agree with the placement, but maybe not for the same reasons. Hyrule is a vast kingdom, and driving only in the castle was fun, but the kingdom so underrepresented. What about Death Mountain, lake Hylia or even Gerudo Valley. Anyways, this dlc is all legend tracks… not like 3ds toad circuit…
okey dokey ranking time (tracks in my top 10 and wild woods) 1. neo bowser city (yes its the correct way lol). i didn’t like this track until like a year ago and now i don’ know why i ever disliked it. i have a night city track bias, and when paired with a difficult track, rain, the most flawless vibe on a track ever, a few cheeky shortcuts, and a track most people are bad at on 200cc but i took the time to get decent at it, you get what might be my favorite track in the game. 2. dragon driftway- flawless. based off gobblegut from galaxy 2 which is a game that’s always been close to my heart. really cool track design, asian inspiration, really interesting and banger music, and a surprisingly tricky gap cut. this might be a top 3 track in the game for me 3. big blue- just wow. this track still blows me away. interchangeable between 1 through 4 on my list of the whole game honestly. 4. super bell subway- this is like 8 or 9 on my top 10 and this track did not need to go so hard lol. the music is amazing. the vibe is amazing. the concept is so basic yet so well executed. i’ve always loved this track, and i’m happy you put it at 1. 5. wild woods- this ones like #11 or something but i’ll let it slide. this track is just super forgettable and overlooked by most people, but i’ve always thought it was a gem in terms of everything. only mariokart track in 5/8 too which is fun (i pick these online sometimes) 6. cheese land- cheese land. 7. mute city- the detailing on this track is soooo insane, and it just plays super well. executing the shortcut and just gliding down is very satisfying too 8. wario’s gold mine- i get what you said about liveliness being taken away, but i still think the track and concept is a lot of fun. the shy guys are still there too! 9. rainbow road- i just enjoy this one a lot, idk why. great soundtrack (I think these are not bad and do generally enjoy them) 10. ice ice outpost- i really really like the vibe and music of the track. yes youre confined to a split path, but it really feels like you’re driving through a polar research station or something. plus the shortcuts are cool and add some needed difficulty into the track 11. ribbon road- i get why people are gassed up about this track, but I personally don’t enjoy playing it much for whatever reason. plus the music is just unenjoyable imo 12. yoshi circuit- it’s a fun and simplistic yet kinda tricky course. i like the shortcuts a lot, even though they removed the tunnel 13. animal crossing- i completely agree with everything you said about the track lol (Below here i dislike the tracks) 14. hyrule circuit- i am the only person i know who dislikes this track. i’ve never gotten into zelda, so that may be part of it, but the track honestly just feels like another boring circuit course to me. yeah the antigrav shorcut is cool, but it’s faster to just take the turn tight. plus that section is completely flat anyway so 15. baby park- the fact that youre able to see the park now shows how cool the track could’ve been racing in the park instead of on the loop for 7 laps 16. excitebike arena- i actually enjoyed this a lot when i first played it but it just feels bland and unfun whenever it shows up. Bottom 3 track in the game for me damn this is the most effort ive put into a comment in a while, it could be used as a video lmao. great vid btw!
Why would you put an oval over excite Bike? It's fun each time you race. You even said it has over 200 combinations. I didn't even know that. If there was literally nothing in the background but the sky box, where would you rank Baby Park?
Finally some more Cheese Land love. Its sad how much hate desert tracks get, sure they aren't that good visually, but tracks like Cheese Land have a fun and complex layout. I miss when tracks were rated based on how they played, not how they look.
Your takes can sometimes be divisive but fun video all the same!
Div-EYE-sive is definitely one way of putting it lol!
Super Bell Subway is one of my favorites in all of mk8 the music, the atmosphere, the layout, is all perfect imo
FR, I loved it so much back in Wii U.
The trains are annoying when you want to go on the upper deck
But other than that it is a good course
I think a battle course ranking would be nice to see!
TRUE!
Hot take but Lunar colony is my favourite battle course
as long as the wii u "battle tracks" are given criticism I'm happy
It seems like for ages Super Bell Subway got no love, glad that seems to be changing as it is easily one of the best tracks in the franchise! Flipping love that course.
Neo bowser city is supposed to sound dystopian
It is Bowser's city after all!
Man I really love Warios Goldmine in MK8
Glad to see there is someone else out there who appreciates Cheese Land
Looks like we’ve got a bagger on our hands. Hehehe 😈
@@MrZ125 Baggers are losers and us Cheese Land enjoyers do not claim them
@@MrZ125 no I just like cheese
i would appreciate it even more if it kept the space theme

Personally I feel Wild Woods is hella underappreciated. It’s one of those tracks most people do enjoy and think is good, but forget about it more than most others. For me though it’s in my top 10 for sure
Its main problem isn’t really how good or not good it is as a track, but rather that it will always be compared to Maple Treeway
@@jomaq9233 it’s pretty much on par with Treeway honestly. I do slightly prefer it but wild woods is amazing too
Super bell subway better be first... or else unsubbing + leaving your discord!!!!
It totally isn’t :quaint:
Bro what? Wario's Gold Mine I would say was the opposite, like in Wii it felt so off, and in 8 it felt like home.
Long live Cheese Land!!!!🧀
BAGGERS!!! EVERYBODY RUN!!!
@@MrZ125I will survive
bad track it was better on GBA
I misread this as "I forgive Cheese Land!!!!"
Big Blue is probably my most favorite because the music is absolutely amazing! But I feel like all the Wii U DLC Tracks were all amazing and had their own challenges! Especially Neo Bowser City’s challenging turns lol
YOOOO SUPERBELL SUBWAY SWEEP!
The original DLC was truly something to remember by, and even after the BCP, it still holds up well.. mostly, anyway.
I love Wild Woods so much ❤, in my humble opinion it's the most underrated nitro track in MK8 along with Dolphin Shoals! The stage is beautiful, it's a lot of fun to run through the trees, the turns are fun to do, it's really cool to jump over the leaves in the part with the water, the shortcut at the end is nice and the music... Man the music in this stage deserves more respect!!!
Neo Bowser City is great!!! Those who don't like it I truly believe it's because of the difficulty XD but once you learn how to make those turns, it's a delight to go through the stage hehe. One of my favorite tracks from MK7!!!
Anyway great video Albert ;D

20:27 Albert Boris: I like trains.
*Train runs him over*
I agree. Excitebike Arena is very overrated. I still like it though. Also Ice Ice Outpost, Super Bell Subway, Wild Woods, and Dragon Driftway are very underrated.
20:52 Depends on the track. Squeaky-Clean Sprint is my third favorite course of all time, and several remakes that this DLC gave us are some of the best glow-ups I’ve seen in my gaming experience.
And city tracks like L.A Laps and Madrid Drive are in my top 20 courses of all time as well.
nice vid mate. are you upset that Boston building still isn't in the game
We got it as a battle course, so it’s close enough.
Good video! But what will you do after the DLC ends, since you mostly do Mario Kart.
I think I'll try to find a balance between Mario Kart and mainline Mario content, once the Booster Course Pass is over! Hopefully, Super Mario Bros. Wonder will give me a headstart!
There’s literally loads of Mario remakes (& two original Mario games) being made, I’m sure he’ll be fine

Dragon Driftway is the best one.

This dude bringing the hot takes with mute city and wario's gold mine. And you never played Zelda!?!?!?! XD My bottom 2 are the horrible dragon stage and neo bowser city since i exclusively play on 200cc with 4 local players
I think there is only 1 miss in the entire DLC: Wario's Gold Mine. I don't know why, but this course just annoys me and I don't enjoy it whatsoever.
14:28 Me when I remember that I one considered DS Rainbow Road to be mediocre & my love for it to be nostalgia biased:
remember when Nintendo had passion for dlc even though they wasn't making any money I am done with 8 deluxe
Baby park is the worst mk8 wii u dlc imo, it driving a very small track 7 times & items are so annoying & unfair.
I rather take exticebike track because a least that track don’t make the items to annoying
I mean this VERY respectufully, you have some of the wort opinions I have ever heard. good video tho
In Cheese land in Mario kart 8 I wish they kept the outer space sky and the mice because now I feel like it’s just another desert course
Edit: OG cheese land is goated
I love how we all agree that Big Blue is what Wii U Rainbow Road should have been.
Big blue is absolutely top 3 material. It would be in a good spot swapped places with ribbon road imo

I like your take on hyrule castle. Interaction with the environment
Ice ice outpost should definitely be beneath original rainbow road. Its so lame
My least favourite is SNES Rainbow Road because IT WAS ALREADY REMADE IN MARIO KART 7! I have no idea why they decided to bring back a retro that they just remade in the previous game especially because they were clearly willing to do a lot with these DLC tracks, like if they had to remake a Rainbow Road why not GCN Rainbow Road? What makes the flat and most boring Rainbow Road worthy of two remakes one after another?
It's also just annoying how it's not the ending of a cup. If they wanted to end the cups with the crossover tracks, WHY WAS A RAINBOW ROAD CHOSEN?!?!?!?
Hyrule circuit and dragon circuit over big blue... cap
I gotta take a moment and talk about how annoying the MK8 take on GBA's Ribbon Road is for me (and I'm a person who only found out about the GBA one recently). It hardly feels like the original course, and I mean that in a bad way. You're racing on this incredibly dull child bedroom floor with a bunch of annoying looking toys all over the place, when in GBA you're racing on a very nice and vivid red carpet with some presents as background. I don't get why I seem to be the only person who feels MK8 Ribbon Road is an incomparable downgrade and disgrace to the original, but I guess I am so I've got to say it.
Bro said all these things and didn't even mention the music (the one complaint I actually would agree with)
Cheese Land & Big Blue may very well be my favorites of these 16
2:22
And yet I always felt like there was only 2 or 3.
Shy guy bazaar is the most overrated course
How are you able to get that increbile view from that perspective at 5:58
Did he just rank mute city 13
My favorites are Animal Crossing and Wild Woods
I personally still hate dragon driftway😂
Ribbon Road and Cheese Land set the standard for GBA Remakes. Underrated tracks, unique concepts held back by limited hardware. Seeing them in a new light from only having 8 remakes to now 18, with Broken Pier and Rainbow Road left just goes to show that GBA tracks are awesome if given the chance.
8:21-8:24 NOOOOOOO, SOMEBODY WAKE ME UP!!!
As a 200cc player, I can safely say that Koopa City is the worst track in the series by a mile.
Nah Neo Bowser city is Dark and Hard and epic!
I love Super Bell Subway too!
Wait never played a Zelda game??? WHAT 😨
The courses from the mk 8 dlc where of such good quality. It's also way more fun in original mk 8 to unlock charachters instead of getting them all instant
Wait Shy Guy Bazaar Was scrapped? SOURCE?????
It was, And I don't think we know what replaced it.
@@MooSaysHi what source?
@@LandonEmma IDK, Datamines?
super bell subway is such a unique course design and i love it. and most of the time, i manage to overcome kooa city's sharp turn on 200cc.
I don't agree with a lot of things in this video but I gotta say, Superbell Subway at number 1 is pretty based.
It's my third favorite track in the entire game, BCP included, only behind Athen's Dash and Hyrule Circuit (my number 2 and 1 respectively). Athens I like the layout and music more, and Zelda is my favorite game series so the bias go crazy but Superbell Subway is fantastic. As a fellow train enjoyer I find the theming to be immaculate, it's certainly my favorite setting in the whole game due to the sheer amount of detail. I wish I could explore this place in real life, especially since actual subways in the States are kinda nasty.
The layout is super fun and the optimal lines on this course go pretty crazy as well, especially on 200cc. Overall a fantastic course and although I'd obviously put Hyruke Circuit higher I can't complain about getting Superbell Subway getting some much needed praise, it's gotta be one of the most underrated Mario Kart tracks of all time since it barely gets talked about
I think Neo Bowser City is one of my favorites, I love almost everything about it
For me, one of my favorite Mario Kart courses is easily Ribbon Road. It's my 3rd favorite, just barely being edged out by N64 Rainbow Road- 8 remake, not OG- and Yoshi's Island. Those other 2 are just so magical to me, but Ribbon Road just feels great to play imo.
As a Zelda fan, hearing “a sword” was shocking, because it’s THE Master Sword, I highly recommend to play Zelda really fun franchise. I agree with the placement, but maybe not for the same reasons. Hyrule is a vast kingdom, and driving only in the castle was fun, but the kingdom so underrepresented. What about Death Mountain, lake Hylia or even Gerudo Valley. Anyways, this dlc is all legend tracks… not like 3ds toad circuit…
okey dokey ranking time
(tracks in my top 10 and wild woods)
1. neo bowser city (yes its the correct way lol). i didn’t like this track until like a year ago and now i don’ know why i ever disliked it. i have a night city track bias, and when paired with a difficult track, rain, the most flawless vibe on a track ever, a few cheeky shortcuts, and a track most people are bad at on 200cc but i took the time to get decent at it, you get what might be my favorite track in the game.
2. dragon driftway- flawless. based off gobblegut from galaxy 2 which is a game that’s always been close to my heart. really cool track design, asian inspiration, really interesting and banger music, and a surprisingly tricky gap cut. this might be a top 3 track in the game for me
3. big blue- just wow. this track still blows me away. interchangeable between 1 through 4 on my list of the whole game honestly.
4. super bell subway- this is like 8 or 9 on my top 10 and this track did not need to go so hard lol. the music is amazing. the vibe is amazing. the concept is so basic yet so well executed. i’ve always loved this track, and i’m happy you put it at 1.
5. wild woods- this ones like #11 or something but i’ll let it slide. this track is just super forgettable and overlooked by most people, but i’ve always thought it was a gem in terms of everything. only mariokart track in 5/8 too which is fun
(i pick these online sometimes)
6. cheese land- cheese land.
7. mute city- the detailing on this track is soooo insane, and it just plays super well. executing the shortcut and just gliding down is very satisfying too
8. wario’s gold mine- i get what you said about liveliness being taken away, but i still think the track and concept is a lot of fun. the shy guys are still there too!
9. rainbow road- i just enjoy this one a lot, idk why. great soundtrack
(I think these are not bad and do generally enjoy them)
10. ice ice outpost- i really really like the vibe and music of the track. yes youre confined to a split path, but it really feels like you’re driving through a polar research station or something. plus the shortcuts are cool and add some needed difficulty into the track
11. ribbon road- i get why people are gassed up about this track, but I personally don’t enjoy playing it much for whatever reason. plus the music is just unenjoyable imo
12. yoshi circuit- it’s a fun and simplistic yet kinda tricky course. i like the shortcuts a lot, even though they removed the tunnel
13. animal crossing- i completely agree with everything you said about the track lol
(Below here i dislike the tracks)
14. hyrule circuit- i am the only person i know who dislikes this track. i’ve never gotten into zelda, so that may be part of it, but the track honestly just feels like another boring circuit course to me. yeah the antigrav shorcut is cool, but it’s faster to just take the turn tight. plus that section is completely flat anyway so
15. baby park- the fact that youre able to see the park now shows how cool the track could’ve been racing in the park instead of on the loop for 7 laps
16. excitebike arena- i actually enjoyed this a lot when i first played it but it just feels bland and unfun whenever it shows up. Bottom 3 track in the game for me
damn this is the most effort ive put into a comment in a while, it could be used as a video lmao. great vid btw!
Why would you put an oval over excite Bike? It's fun each time you race. You even said it has over 200 combinations. I didn't even know that. If there was literally nothing in the background but the sky box, where would you rank Baby Park?
yoshi circuit for #1!
Agree about Ribbon Road's VGM! The OG music with the xylophone hit so hard. Then again 8/10 I usually prefer OG VGM to the jazzy remakes of 8
Happy to see some love Super Bell Subway Too, it’s so underrated
Finally some more Cheese Land love. Its sad how much hate desert tracks get, sure they aren't that good visually, but tracks like Cheese Land have a fun and complex layout. I miss when tracks were rated based on how they played, not how they look.
“Driving on just a road!”
*Puts Koopa city in top 5*
Hold on?? You have never played a Zelda game.. These DLC courses are by far the best cups in the game..
Agree with you 100% with the F Zero tracks not a big fan of either but # 2 super bell subway and Dragon Driftway #1 for me
Cheese land and pizza love it
I'm european too but come on, Neo Bowser City just sounds cooler than just "Koopa" City 👀
Neo Bowser City is DARK and Thunder! Which makes me love it
Cheese land is kingly.
