Albert Boris: "My least favorite cup is the Tri-force cup by a pretty wide margin" One minute later: "Special Cup is not much better than the Tri-force cup"
As a Bell Cup fan, I'm really happy to see it at #2! Super Bell Subway is a masterpiece, Ribbon Road has an amazing rake on an old level, Neo Bowser City is exhilarating on 200cc and Big Blue is a huge adventure. Really happy for u to place it so high up!
I personally somehow come last almost every time on Super Bell Subway (and I'm pretty experienced in the game), but the other 3 courses in the Bell Cup bring it up decently high to me, especially Big Blue (I am a F-ZERO player).
yeah golden dash is by far my least favorite cup in the game, no track is better than the bottom 20 imo and the music is awful particularly for coconut mall and choco mountain
Great video, although I disagree with much. Especially at the beginning of the ranking. I definitely like Triforce and Special is great. I also like Golden Dash maybe too much, but that's because I love the vibes of Choco Mountain. I'm also very excited for the Sir Musty reaction! Happy New Year, Albert Boris!
Egg Cup on #22 is a crime. Yoshi Circuit, Dragon Driftway and Mute City are all at least A Tier Tracks imo. Excitebike is in the top 3 worst tracks but still 😯
24. Banana Cup - I honestly hate donut plains, dry dry desert , DK jungle and royal raceway when I played as DK 23. Golden Dash Cup - nothing wrong with Paris, yeah we still hated Toad Circuit and at least coconut mall is good 22. Mushroom Cup- I honesty like Water Park and Sweet Sweet Canyon I play as Mario 21. Shell cup- I play as Koopa Troopa so my favorite are just cheep cheep beach , and moo moo meadows 20. Lucky Cat Cup - I play as peach so yeah Tokyo is a blur but I still love Ninja Hideaway 19. Rock Cup - I play as a Wiggler so London is a loop , at maple treeway is alright 18. Propeller cup - Kamek in it I love Sydney , but the others no 17. Leaf cup - I play as Wario in it of Wario Stadium but I love Yoshi Valley 16. Turnip cup- I played as Waluigi but I like New York a little but for Kalimari Desert is way better than dry dry desert and yes favorite is definitely Waluigi Pinball 15. Egg Cup - Yoshi cup I love Yoshi Circuit, I love excit bike arena and dragon driftway Mute City 14. Fire Flower cup - I play as Luigi so I only like Toad Harbor and Shy Guy falls 13. Animal Crossing cup - I play as Isabelle but still hate Baby Park and Cheese Land but I love Animal Crossing track with 4 seasons changing so my favorite is definitely summer 12. Bell Cup - I played as Bowser Jr in it so my favorite are Super Bell Subway and Big Blue 11. Triforce cup I play as Link I love Wario Gold Mine and SNES Rainbow Road and Hyrule Circuit 10. Blue Shell cup - I play as Rosalina so my favorite are Rosalina Ice World and Wii Rainbow Road 9. Special Cup I play as Daisy so my favorite are Bowser Castle and Rainbow Road 8.

Cherry Cup - I played as Inkling Girl and also LA is where I usually live before so I love LA laps with Downtown and piers and Oil field and sunset yeah definitely not a sunset and Koopa Cape well is way better than Water Park and Vancouver that I would love racing in a track of Canada 5. Lighting cup - I use Rosalina I love Tick Tock clock, and Grumble Volcano and favorite is N64 rainbow road 4. Feather Cup - I used Daisy again to play in Daisy cruiser also favorite is Moonview Highway and Squeaky Clean Sprint 3.

Moon Cup - Rosalina again I love Berlin Byway and Merry Christmas in the mountain and also my favorite is 3DS Rainbow Road
I love the fakeout where you showed footage of the leaf cup before talking about the turnip cup since Waluigi Pinball and Wario Stadium have the same music, it got me good
SNES BC3 is my highest ranked track in the game. to hear it get knocked down because it isn’t imaginative enough is crazy. you literally drive on walls
This was a fun video to watch, plus I like your top 3 cups. They're all some of my favorites, with the Spiny Cup being my favorite cup in the entire Mario Kart series. HAPPY NEW YEAR ALBERT BORIS!🎉
So happy to finally see the city courses get the respect they deserve and not just bashed for no reason. By far my favourite one was Tour Berlin Byways for how dynamic and diverse it was coupled with its amazing atmosphere. It even convinced me to visit Berlin last year for just how good it made the city look and it really did not disappoint. The course really is like a smaller version of the city and perfectly faithful as I could pinpoint the landmarks as I walked around and for the most part they were in the exact spots they were supposed to be while still making for a really fun car course that had more to it than just driving on roads the entire time. It really shows that they did their homework for these city courses and the hate they receive really gets on my nerves. Tour Athens Dash is right behind it for me and I don't get the hate for Tour New York Minute as I loved that course for the second I played it on the Switch.
One of my most favorite cups has to be the Boomerang Cup with 3 out of 4 tracks being my favorites in the game (DS Mario Circuit, Waluigi Stadium and Singapore Speedway)
You forgetten something about WiiU Bowser's Castle: there's some Bowser Statues at the start that shoot laser beams, acting as a reference to Super Mario Bros 3's Bowser's Castle
When I play Mario Kart 8, I choose to stick with playing individual tracks in VS. play. It has a bit of an individual touch to my Mario Kart experience. Truth be told, I haven't played a proper Grand Prix in MK8 since around 2018, when I unlocked Gold Mario. I haven't found much of a reason to do Grand Prix beyond that... Regardless, these rankings are fairly agreeable. You did a good job backing up your reasons.
It’s funny how the top 3 cups were all ends to some part of mario kart 8 Spiny = end of the BCP and 8 in general Bell = end to the DLC courses Lightning = end to the original mario kart 8
I just so happens to have also ranked every track in mk8d so I put all my track scores (1-96) and ranked the cups based on average track score so here’s my ranking 1. Star cup (21) 2. Bell cup (24.75) 3. Spiny cup (26.75) 4. Feather cup (28.75) 5. Fruit cup (29.5) 6. Boomerang cup (34.75) 7. Acorn cup (44.25) 8. Crossing cup (44.5) 9. Egg cup (45.5) and propeller cup (45.5) 10. Moon cup (47.25) 11. Lightning cup (51.25) 12. Cherry cup (51.75) 13. Flower cup (53.5) 14. Special cup (53.75) 15. Lucky cat cup (54.75) 16. Rock cup (57.75) 17. Tri force cup (59.75) and golden dash cup (59.75) 18. Turnip cup (62.25) 19. Leaf cup (63.75) 20. Mushroom cup (66) 21. Shell cup (68) 22. Banana cup (69.25)
Great video and happy new year! I had a few things I disagreed with, but something I want to point out that I agree with is that the F-Zero tracks aren't the best of the best (for me). Personally, I really don't like their styles and they feel like they are neither a good track as Mario Kart track, nor fast enough to be a good representation for F-Zero. Had they made the speed a lot higher somehow, the roads more narrow or the graphics more like MK (more vibrant), they could have been so much better.
I will die on the hill that DK Jungle fit the Special Cup in 7. It was actually decently hard for the standards of that game, harder than courses like Neo Bowser City or Wario Shipyard for sure. In 8, the obstacles were toned down, and it now fits the Banana Cup. The 8 version doesn't fit the Special Cup and the 7 version doesn't fit the Banana Cup.

Propeller (Sydney Sprint: Flows well, but not my cup of tea)(Snow Land: The GBA remakes always crush it)(Mushroom Gorge: A good old Wii classic)(Sky High Sundae: I like this one…a lot) 17. Acorn (Rome Avanti: Another good city track, that’s it)(DK Mountain: Glad to see more GameCube representation)(Daisy Circuit: It good, that’s all)(Piranha Plant Cove: Weakest nitro BCP track) 16. Boomerang (Bangkok Rush: Uninspired imo)(Mario Circuit: It should’ve been Airship Fortress!)(Waluigi Stadium: Made a banger even better)(Singapore Speedway: What a track! What a track!) 15.

Fruit (Amsterdam Drift: My personal favorite city track)(Riverside Park: Brings the whole cup down)(DK Summit: The Wii version is better, but I still love it)(Yoshi’s Island: Truly great new track) 11.

Simple, but a blast)(Dragon Driftway: Cool layout and that’s it)(Mute City: F-Zero tracks are very good) 9. Lightning (Tick Tock Clock: An undisputed DS classic)(Piranha Plant Slide: Another undisputed classic)(Grumble Volcano: Always loved the crumbling in this one)(N64 Rainbow Road: I mean it’s good, but not my favorite) 8. Turnip (New York Minute: I ❤️ NY)(Mario Circuit 3: Worst track in the BCP😂)(Kalimari Desert: What a frickin’ remake!)(Waluigi Pinball: A fan favorite for a reason) 7. Special (Cloudtop Cruise: Full of many dangerous obstacles)(Bone Dry Dunes: It’s not THAT boring, you guys)(Bowser’s Castle: Has its own epic identity)(Rainbow Road: I hate this bland piece of trash!) 6.

Feather (Athens Dash: One of the more unique city tracks)(Daisy Cruiser: My fav GCN track)(Moonview Highway: A solid traffic track)(Squeaky Clean Sprint: A remarkable nitro)
Y'know what I hate about the BCP? The fact that nothing is actually consistant. Like, they claimed every single piece of music for every single track in the game is different. Well, they threw that out the window when they re-used DS Wario Stadium's soundtrack for DS Waluigi Pinball. So much for consistancy. Another thing, and this is already been talked about to death, but -- the infamous graphical departure from the main game, which... I think I shouldn't even have said ''main game''! Sure, it's fun for those who own a Switch, but I'm not going to buy the same game a second time together with a ''new'' console, and then buy every individual pack of the BCP. It's just so stingy of Nintendo to do this.
Honestly to do a cup ranking you should do an every course ranking and take the average course ranking by cup to find the cup rankings. Good video though as always just some crazy takes
I'm sorry, but I have to come out as Ninja Hideaway's biggest hater. I completely don't understand why people like it. The theming is cool but it's VERY clearly a Wario Track that got renamed last minute, the split paths are FAR too present, making it far more difficult for those in the back to catch up as half the items are ineffective, and the surfaces are awfully uneven, sending you flying off in unpredictable ways that aren't fun or surmountable with a good level of skill. It was a well designed track for mobile, but translates horribly to Switch. Ninja Hideaway is a big ol D Tier for me!
@Albert Boris, You said in Your Mario Kart 8 Wii U DLC Video, You said that the Triforce Cup was Better than the Egg Cup and then you put it in F-Tier and in Your BCP Ranking, You said that GCN DK Mountain was a B-Tier Track and now you don’t like and you even said that the Acorn Cup was the Most Consistent Mario Kart Cup of all time but you put it in C-Tier? Why are you so Inconsistent with your previous videos? I’m not going to lie but This Video feels more like a Fever Dream than an actually fun and entertaining video! I’m sorry but Odyssey Central’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Cups Ranked Video even with some disappointing hot takes at least didn’t felt like a Fever Dream and at least it was more memorable than this! I really hope you update your video and actually make it better!
@ My short summary: A disgrace on traffic courses and it’s original version is in my bottom 10 in the series, they should’ve NEVER brought the course back.
me with moonview highway in mk8 for mk8 at least imo shroom ridge is not the most challenging traffic course, but at least it has like more than six turns and is really fun in 200cc. the only traffic course i can say is even close is half of berlin (which is good, but doesn't have cars for its entire duration)
Calling Daisy Cruiser the least exciting track in the whole DLC is CRAZY
I actually completely agree. Never liked it at all
@@jordanyoung8703it’s better than Toad Circuit
@@platinumspike9578 fair I suppose, Daisy Cruiser was consistently a bottom 3 favorite for me in Mario Kart 7 3DS
It is tho. Especially in mk7
@@vegetables1593 I couldn't agree more, I was so excited for that course coming back
Albert Boris: "My least favorite cup is the Tri-force cup by a pretty wide margin"
One minute later: "Special Cup is not much better than the Tri-force cup"
‘i like having a natural progression in my mario kart cups’
Wiser words have never been spoken before, Albert
‘i prefer more vibrant colours in my mario kart tracks’ is also pretty crazy
“It’s over it’s over”
“We’re so back!”
Sir musty is gonna enjoy this lmao
Can't wait to see Sir Musty's inevitable reaction to the cup with Grumble Volcano at number 1.
As a Bell Cup fan, I'm really happy to see it at #2! Super Bell Subway is a masterpiece, Ribbon Road has an amazing rake on an old level, Neo Bowser City is exhilarating on 200cc and Big Blue is a huge adventure. Really happy for u to place it so high up!
I personally somehow come last almost every time on Super Bell Subway (and I'm pretty experienced in the game), but the other 3 courses in the Bell Cup bring it up decently high to me, especially Big Blue (I am a F-ZERO player).
14:48 It’s probably because Daisy Circuit replaced something else (probably the scrapped mobMU nitro)
9:25 Finally, someone said it.
OMG MY MOST REQUESTED VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
bro really rated 4 base game cups below golden dash
yeah golden dash is by far my least favorite cup in the game, no track is better than the bottom 20 imo and the music is awful particularly for coconut mall and choco mountain
Great video, although I disagree with much. Especially at the beginning of the ranking. I definitely like Triforce and Special is great. I also like Golden Dash maybe too much, but that's because I love the vibes of Choco Mountain. I'm also very excited for the Sir Musty reaction! Happy New Year, Albert Boris!
Great video I also agree with the snes rainbow road situation
@@sonickreekgamer7625 Nah the placement of SNES Rainbow Road in the Triforce Cup make 100% sense to be fair.
Egg Cup on #22 is a crime. Yoshi Circuit, Dragon Driftway and Mute City are all at least A Tier Tracks imo. Excitebike is in the top 3 worst tracks but still 😯
20:01 the way you cut it right before u hit the tree😂
24. Banana Cup - I honestly hate donut plains, dry dry desert , DK jungle and royal raceway when I played as DK
23. Golden Dash Cup - nothing wrong with Paris, yeah we still hated Toad Circuit and at least coconut mall is good
22. Mushroom Cup- I honesty like Water Park and Sweet Sweet Canyon I play as Mario
21. Shell cup- I play as Koopa Troopa so my favorite are just cheep cheep beach , and moo moo meadows
20. Lucky Cat Cup - I play as peach so yeah Tokyo is a blur but I still love Ninja Hideaway
19. Rock Cup - I play as a Wiggler so London is a loop , at maple treeway is alright
18. Propeller cup - Kamek in it I love Sydney , but the others no
17. Leaf cup - I play as Wario in it of Wario Stadium but I love Yoshi Valley
16. Turnip cup- I played as Waluigi but I like New York a little but for Kalimari Desert is way better than dry dry desert and yes favorite is definitely Waluigi Pinball
15. Egg Cup - Yoshi cup I love Yoshi Circuit, I love excit bike arena and dragon driftway Mute City
14. Fire Flower cup - I play as Luigi so I only like Toad Harbor and Shy Guy falls
13. Animal Crossing cup - I play as Isabelle but still hate Baby Park and Cheese Land but I love Animal Crossing track with 4 seasons changing so my favorite is definitely summer
12. Bell Cup - I played as Bowser Jr in it so my favorite are Super Bell Subway and Big Blue
11. Triforce cup I play as Link I love Wario Gold Mine and SNES Rainbow Road and Hyrule Circuit
10. Blue Shell cup - I play as Rosalina so my favorite are Rosalina Ice World and Wii Rainbow Road
9. Special Cup I play as Daisy so my favorite are Bowser Castle and Rainbow Road
8. Fruit Cup - I played as Yoshi again in it and my favorite is Yoshi island
7. Boomerang Cup - I play as Inkling Boy in it I love Bangkok Rush I honestly like DS Mario Circuit and favorite is Singapore speedway
6. Cherry Cup - I played as Inkling Girl and also LA is where I usually live before so I love LA laps with Downtown and piers and Oil field and sunset yeah definitely not a sunset and Koopa Cape well is way better than Water Park and Vancouver that I would love racing in a track of Canada
5. Lighting cup - I use Rosalina I love Tick Tock clock, and Grumble Volcano and favorite is N64 rainbow road
4. Feather Cup - I used Daisy again to play in Daisy cruiser also favorite is Moonview Highway and Squeaky Clean Sprint
3. Star Cup - I used Peach at Sunshine Airport , and most favorite is Mount Wario
2. Acorn cup - I used Pauline - so my favorite are Rome Avanti and Piranha Plant cove
1. Moon Cup - Rosalina again I love Berlin Byway and Merry Christmas in the mountain and also my favorite is 3DS Rainbow Road
I love the fakeout where you showed footage of the leaf cup before talking about the turnip cup since Waluigi Pinball and Wario Stadium have the same music, it got me good
*realizes she likes Toad’s Turnpike*
*faints*
Toad’s Turnpike not bringing the Shell Cup down isn’t a hot take, it’s lava imported from Bowser’s Castle
SNES BC3 is my highest ranked track in the game. to hear it get knocked down because it isn’t imaginative enough is crazy. you literally drive on walls
This is gonna be fun!
I want Sir Musty to react to this… 5:36 I’m already this far in and the kitchen is ice cold
Happy New Year Albert Boris! Can’t wait to see more amazing content from you! 🥳🎉
This was a fun video to watch, plus I like your top 3 cups. They're all some of my favorites, with the Spiny Cup being my favorite cup in the entire Mario Kart series.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALBERT BORIS!🎉
I will not tolerate Spiny Cup not being Number 1
The cherry cup is the absolute goat
AGREE 1000%
Agree 100%!
Love your content and videos, Albert! Love the way you clearly explain things clearly. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2025!
It's insane how good of a cup the Bell cup is.
Sir Musty gonna have a field day with this one

The special cup is the Mario version of a gacha machine: You commonly get something mid but rarely get something amazing from it
where were you when the greatest disaster of our time, albert boris ranking the egg cup at 22nd out of 24 happened
I know you like to call it Deep Moray Trench, but I thought up the name Atlantis Adventure, so it could be considered another city track
One of my most favorite cups has to be the Boomerang Cup with 3 out of 4 tracks being my favorites in the game (DS Mario Circuit, Waluigi Stadium and Singapore Speedway)
been a long time viewer but never had the time to comment, i loved watching these videos, their fun to watch
Heh, still think Bone-Dry Dunes is one of the best tracks ever made.
23:20 I agree entirely with this.
you gotta admit snes rainbow road has an amazing remix at least
You forgetten something about WiiU Bowser's Castle: there's some Bowser Statues at the start that shoot laser beams, acting as a reference to Super Mario Bros 3's Bowser's Castle

It’s funny how the top 3 cups were all ends to some part of mario kart 8
Spiny = end of the BCP and 8 in general
Bell = end to the DLC courses
Lightning = end to the original mario kart 8
What a video to watch at the start of 2025
Bell Cup supremacy! Super Bell Subway my beloved, we'll be together again soon ❤❤
Happy New Year, Albert

Great video and happy new year! I had a few things I disagreed with, but something I want to point out that I agree with is that the F-Zero tracks aren't the best of the best (for me). Personally, I really don't like their styles and they feel like they are neither a good track as Mario Kart track, nor fast enough to be a good representation for F-Zero. Had they made the speed a lot higher somehow, the roads more narrow or the graphics more like MK (more vibrant), they could have been so much better.
You should rank every base game track, and use S A B C D and maybe F categories for each.
When Albert Boris put my favourite cup (Egg Cup) in #21, I knew this was a competitive ranking.
I will die on the hill that DK Jungle fit the Special Cup in 7. It was actually decently hard for the standards of that game, harder than courses like Neo Bowser City or Wario Shipyard for sure. In 8, the obstacles were toned down, and it now fits the Banana Cup. The 8 version doesn't fit the Special Cup and the 7 version doesn't fit the Banana Cup.
Just so you know, your #9 and #4 seem to have the incorrect timestamps.
Thanks! Fixed it now
I can’t wait for my game

One thing is for sure, yours are definitely opinions
Y'know what I hate about the BCP? The fact that nothing is actually consistant. Like, they claimed every single piece of music for every single track in the game is different. Well, they threw that out the window when they re-used DS Wario Stadium's soundtrack for DS Waluigi Pinball. So much for consistancy. Another thing, and this is already been talked about to death, but -- the infamous graphical departure from the main game, which... I think I shouldn't even have said ''main game''! Sure, it's fun for those who own a Switch, but I'm not going to buy the same game a second time together with a ''new'' console, and then buy every individual pack of the BCP. It's just so stingy of Nintendo to do this.
I play this game from the half of my life and I love it
29:50 HAVE U LOOKED AT THE MINI MAP? WDYM NOT A SPECIAL LAYOUT?
22:39 youre supposed to take the halfpipes here, not go straight
Happy New Year
i agree with all of this
oh my dragon driftway is you favorite egg cup track ?
Albert Boris usually you have some good videos but this is crazy. What even is this list how can you have the egg cup below s tier what an insane take
Honestly to do a cup ranking you should do an every course ranking and take the average course ranking by cup to find the cup rankings. Good video though as always just some crazy takes
Snes bowser castle 3 should have been in the moon cup and gba bowser castle 4 in the spiny cup
Star Cup not being number one I can maybe slide, but not top 3? You really are Albert Boring 😭
I can't agree with number 1 because the removal of the rock hop
So i am not the only person on this planet who thinks mute city is overrated
I'm sorry, but I have to come out as Ninja Hideaway's biggest hater. I completely don't understand why people like it. The theming is cool but it's VERY clearly a Wario Track that got renamed last minute, the split paths are FAR too present, making it far more difficult for those in the back to catch up as half the items are ineffective, and the surfaces are awfully uneven, sending you flying off in unpredictable ways that aren't fun or surmountable with a good level of skill. It was a well designed track for mobile, but translates horribly to Switch. Ninja Hideaway is a big ol D Tier for me!
This Video is Weird for Me because it feels like a Fever Dream, Not Gonna Lie!
yenerally!
Is it just me or is there way to many rainbow roads in this game as we need more bowser castles to make a come back.
Wave 6 is the best
Thank you for this list
But
I'm guessing you're salty at DK Mountain because you aren't consistent at the shortcut. Lol.
Not trying to offend!
Thanks for 2024 buddy! See you in 2025!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DISLIKED TRIFORCE CUP, WOOOOOOOO
Mario
i like wii u wario's goldmine
do with this information what you wish
@Albert Boris, You said in Your Mario Kart 8 Wii U DLC Video, You said that the Triforce Cup was Better than the Egg Cup and then you put it in F-Tier and in Your BCP Ranking, You said that GCN DK Mountain was a B-Tier Track and now you don’t like and you even said that the Acorn Cup was the Most Consistent Mario Kart Cup of all time but you put it in C-Tier? Why are you so Inconsistent with your previous videos? I’m not going to lie but This Video feels more like a Fever Dream than an actually fun and entertaining video! I’m sorry but Odyssey Central’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Cups Ranked Video even with some disappointing hot takes at least didn’t felt like a Fever Dream and at least it was more memorable than this! I really hope you update your video and actually make it better!
It is not inconsistent, Albert's opinions just changed (that BCP Ranking was 10 months ago 😬).
10:35 Shroom ridge is the worst course in mk8 imo.
WHY??
@ My short summary: A disgrace on traffic courses and it’s original version is in my bottom 10 in the series, they should’ve NEVER brought the course back.
me with moonview highway in mk8
for mk8 at least imo shroom ridge is not the most challenging traffic course, but at least it has like more than six turns and is really fun in 200cc. the only traffic course i can say is even close is half of berlin (which is good, but doesn't have cars for its entire duration)
