I like to think that the reason he has a Mario ad in his pinball machine is because he genuinely likes Mario. He may have a thing against Luigi, but he thinks Mario is actually pretty cool.
Hang on, this gave me an idea for some dialogue lmao: Luigi: "Wh-why don't you just leave us alone, you loonies??" Wario: "We are here to get our revenge on that pasty pastiche Mario!! He thinks he's sooooooo much better than us, but we'll show him!! Isn't that right, Waluigi??" Waluigi: "Huh? Mario? I think he's a pretty cool guy-" Wario: "SHADDUP!!" (Gives Waluigi a punch in the gut.)
The MK8 version of Ribbon Road, that is. (I imagine the Koppaites are gathering fruit downstairs as you race) The original Super Circuit version couldn't have that level of detail.
Funny thing is that in-universe Waluigi Pinball is actually a giant pinball machine. In Mario Kart 7 you can see Mushroom City buildings in the background of the course’s minimap.
Oh trust me, I exist. And there is no track in this genre I despise more. And I hated it before knowing it was popular, astounded when I learned it was
I've noticed that some of the most beloved Mario Kart courses are the ones that make the player truly feel like they're part of the environment. This one makes you feel like a pinball, Coconut Mall makes you feel like you're traversing an actual mall, Sunshine Airport does the same with an airport setting, etc. Not to discount the more traditional-feeling tracks, of course, but going that extra mile does wonders in creating an all-time classic. I don't know if you've seen the Mario Kart Tour version of this track yet, but if not, holy crap, it's beyond gorgeous and vibrant. And it has even more Waluigi ego added to it, lol. If that's the version they end up going with for Mario Kart 8, there will be much rejoicing to be had.
One thing I would have added are the sound effects for this course, like the boost pads and items having sounds more relevant to a pinball table or how when you exit the pinball table it plays a sound like you lost a ball. Honestly the presentation for this stage is huge and I would love to see it come back in MK 8 since 7 forced you to do time trials or a full 50/100/150cc to play it.
There is actually a sound cue incorporated to leaving the area! And other sound effects like the ones you talked about were added as well in the most recently port of the course to Tour. Hopefully it all remains when it inevitably comes to 8 Deluxe!
It really sucks how the only way to play certain tracks of your choosing against cpus is to get ctgp. Although getting near triple the tracks and a mission mode is certainly worth it.
Always found it kinda strange that Waluigi has his own track in the game, yet he is an unlockable character when Daisy, Dry Bones and ROB don't have any themed courses the game. Mario Kart 7 took it a step further by having a Waluigi themed track without having Waluigi in the game at all. Also never noticed this until now, but the area with the flippers look like Waluigi's mustache on the mini map (1:24) with the way they point upwards too.
@@javialonso2844 They mean in MKDS itself.. Its the same argument as Dry Bones in MK8 because of Bone Dry Dunes or whatever the name is.. They are talking about MKDS itself
For the "working against you" aspect, it's worth noting that in that area, the goal is to drive into the...I don't know the name, but it's the hole where you lose the ball if it goes in there. Given that this is a pinball machine, you're the pinball, and not having the pinball go in that hole is the objective of a pinball machine, it makes sense that the things in that area would try to block you.
I think it will be just in mario kart tours version with a few tweaks like scaling the track seens all the courses in the mk8 deluxe dlc are directly ports of some retro tracks from tour with a few tweaks here and there
@@brunolike8631 But it hasn't properly shown up yet. So until then, Shroom Ridge will remain the only track in the booster course pack that isn't in tour
Wario‘s Gildmine is also a pretty good character exploration, as it encapsulates his greed, his willingness to exploit others and also the thrill of adventure with its rollercoaster-like structure.
It also adds up that a pinball machine would keep you away from the exit as well, as you are one of the balls and the purpose of the "player" and obstacles is to keep the ball away from the hole as long as possible in order to rack up as many points as possible
everything about this course is wonderful, but a detail i always especially loved was when you pass by the flippers and go into the gutter to finish a lap, the course plays a lil noise and you hear a score being counted up like when you lose a ball in an actual pinball machine
In primary school, my then best friend (and later on, neighbor, funnily enough) told me that if you timed your driving perfectly so that you drove under the slot machine right as the three in a row happened, you wouldn't hear the "failure" sound effect you always hear when you go past that part, but you would instead hear a happy and energetic "ding ding ding"-like noise and receive some sort of item or something. I vividly remember testing it out for myself.
Waluigi Pinball is one of the colourful, funkiest tracks I've ever played. Being able to play a "HD" version in Mario Kart Tour brings me back to childhood when i played the game on DS
What also is an awesome detail is that every time you got through the "exit" towards the finish line, another pinball will appear to make your trip down even more difficult, so in other words you're basically hacking the machine. And what's even crazier is that somehow Waluigi can still stop every pinball without letting it go through that "exit" hole. That's why I absolutely love Waluigi Pinball!
Here’s to hoping that they make another remix of the Waluigi Pinball theme for the Booster Course Pass, because the song is already in 8 Deluxe for Wario Stadium and I remember the devs said they made that version of the song to sound more fitting with Wario Stadium. If they just reuse the same song I’ll be very disappointed cause it just won’t have the same vibe as the original.
Tour very much counts since that provides courses that can be easily ported to MK8DX. All of the courses added in the first wave are all from or remastered in tour, with the exception of Shroom Ridge (and Coconut Mall since it was added to tour after the first wave released, although the two are pretty much the same). Doesn't necessarily mean it's coming, but there's a high chance. Fingers crossed 🤞
Came back here after the recent wave 2 announcement. Couldnt be happier. Also so happy to see Waluigi Pinball finally officially be on a console mario kart!
3:59 I never noticed that amazing slot machine detail haha 🎰 Maybe ZoomZike's eyes are naturally drawn to _identifying luck_ in these random kind of games. Now if only the slots from MP6's Faire Square were as favoured as these ones...
Honestly in my opinion, I like Waluigi Pinball because it repersents Waluigi well, and also looks super good. The problem is that the pinball section is way too short and the rest of the track is just barebones, your just driving on a boring path with occasionally some big pinballs getting in the way. I feel like if the Pinball section WAS the whole course, the whole course would've been better but besides that, it's a 7.5/10 for me. The course overall weighs it down a lot.
I also love how the entire camera-perspective tilts in those curves, where the further you go to the left or right, the whole perspective follows as seen at 2:00
I think Waluigi created his impressive namesake pinball so that he could get invited to the other races. The ads for Mario in it are simply a formality so that he can get officially recognized in the canon of the Mario Kart Universe.
So hot take, I don't particularly like racing on this course. Not because of how it looks because I love the aesthetics, but because of how races play out. My favorite Mario Kart courses are ones where one can express a lot of creativity in how one tackles the course. Waluigi Pinball doesn't have this, it's just one linear path where no shortcuts or alternative routes (that are viable) are available. The ending kind of spices things up a little bit, but in my opinion these obstacles are easily avoidable. So yeah, not my favorite course to race on but as you pointed out in the video, it perfectly represents Waluigi and of course the BGM is a banger.
I do hope DS Waluigi Pinball gets added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass DLC! It's definitely a certain one! I can see the segment starting from the first jump leading all the way downhill in anti-gravity. The artwork of the DLC even shows the racers in anti gravity so there it is! Also the pinball could move at slightly slower rates plus the Waluigi artwork could be his modern appearance. DS Waluigi Pinball will definitely get added to the DLC!
When this course gets added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it should be a rule for everyone to play as Waluigi. Imagine it -- up to 12 Waluigis vying for dominance!
This course taught me that Waluigi is a secret master of both engineering and architecture. It shows a lot of hard work and entrepreneurship to design such a self-referential and technically advanced machine just for the sake of winning even if it has to be through cheating and manipulating the odds as much as possible.
this resonated a lot. i love the way you enthusiastically talk about this. there's so much criticism and pessimism over the state of the video game industry that it's really nice to hear a little light shine on all those awesome parts
Honestly I always wanted whatever the slots land on to actually happen. Like triple blooper inks every player or triple banana replaces all currently held items with three bananas(similar to how the boo takes items). It would certainly make an already brilliant track that little extra unique.
Waluigi Pinball makes for an interesting design study We have the first original draft/proof of concept, an early version, the final, 7's remake, and Tour's R version The addition or removal of objects and changes in layout just go to show how much thought Nintendo puts into their tracks
I *loved* Waluigi Pinball That love died when I dropped from 1st to 4th because I got hit with a pinball in the EXACT location where all the other pinballs were going. I got run over by 4.
Waluigi Pinball is living proof that aesthetics matter in making a memorable video game level. Waluigi Pinball is basically the Las Vegas of Mario Kart
i was 5 when i first played Mario Kart DS and i loved this stage and i still do i got so many flashbacks when this was revealed while dancing to this bop
Ooh! The machine’s mechanics are working against you because they want you to stay in bounds! Especially if someone’s playing, because they don’t want to lose their “ball!”
Fun Fact: Waluigi Pinball was designed for the original Super Mario Kart by Hideo Kojima, but since Waluigi didn't exist yet, Nintendo was confused and had to scrap it. It only came out on the Nintendo DS after the technology to realize his original vision was a reality. He stated that the 3D level design was necessary to properly demonstrate the pinball machine as an allegory for Waluigi's chaotic descent into madness over being a "reflection within a reflection."
The moment I hear this be one of the courses, then I will by the expansion pack. This was one of my first favorite Mario Kart tracks back when I got a DS.
You know what would make a cool short cut if they brought this track in for Mario Kart 8? If you could land on one of those pin ball tracks and use that as a shortcut but to keep it in line with the Waluigi theme it’s insanely risky because you could find yourself stuck behind a slightly slower moving ball and a there’d be no item boxes to be found (bit of a risk vs reward)
Friendly reminder about June Zoom's 4th Rule:
"Upload time goes by the Pacific Time Zone"
WALUIGI PINBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
You’re freaking me out with these risks

WOOOOO YEEAAAHHH

I prefer Waluigi Pinball Lore
your emulator is not doing the textures justice
I like to think that the reason he has a Mario ad in his pinball machine is because he genuinely likes Mario. He may have a thing against Luigi, but he thinks Mario is actually pretty cool.
The fact that Waluigi was on Mario’s team in the ad for the new Mario strikers game also backs this up
I mean unlike Wario or Luigi, Mario actually invites Waluigi to be in his games.
Maybe because he likes Daisy, while Luigi dates Daisy.
aw thats such a wholesome theory actually:)
Hang on, this gave me an idea for some dialogue lmao:
Luigi: "Wh-why don't you just leave us alone, you loonies??"
Wario: "We are here to get our revenge on that pasty pastiche Mario!!
He thinks he's sooooooo much better than us, but we'll show him!! Isn't that right, Waluigi??"
Waluigi: "Huh? Mario? I think he's a pretty cool guy-"
Wario: "SHADDUP!!" (Gives Waluigi a punch in the gut.)
Mario Kart needs more tracks where you’re, like, a tiny little guy. This and Ribbon Road are both marvelously themed.
The MK8 version of Ribbon Road, that is. (I imagine the Koppaites are gathering fruit downstairs as you race)
The original Super Circuit version couldn't have that level of detail.
@@Stinktofu0021 and combine that with self-intersecting tracks so you end up interacting with players of different sizes.
Play the AR Toy LABO game for Switch, and start steering Mario around your friends' legs, should you be fortunate enough to get their permission to.

Yes and all of those tracks feel really cinematic with lots of immersive animations and details
less like a mundane racing track but more like a little story. i like that idea a lot.
A Tour track that's a genuine improvement?! I can't wait
I am here to report that Waluigi Pinball is coming in the second DLC pack on August 4th, and uses Tour’s version

If you could land on one of those pin ball tracks and use that as a shortcut but to keep it in line with the Waluigi theme it’s insanely risky because you could find yourself stuck behind a slightly slower moving ball and a there’d be no item boxes to be found (bit of a risk vs reward)
i do love waluwigi pinball
this is the one time mkds footage actually looks like how i remember playing it on my ds
Finally, a video in 4:3 aspect ratio that I can watch without black bars on a CRT
Fuckkkkkkkk I love Waluigi Pinball
