I thought those cars were insanely easy to get past this time around
I honest to goodness would put sky high sundae in last place
Waluigi Pinball is so overrated
Rosalinas Ice World reminds me of Frozen!
Sad they never included Rainbow Road from DS and Delfino Square in any DLC. Those were such underrated tracks!
not the “i’m so bored” when they released 48 more tracks
34:32 How you feel about this track is the same way I feel about ribbon road!
Is no one going to mention how zoomed in the camera is behind the kart during halfpipes? It was egregious also turning in Rosalina’s Ice World too, which is why I don’t like the track.
The timestamps list Waluigi pinball instead of Waluigi Stadium
Also, fun fact: The Thwomps in Berlin Byways reminded me of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1991. That’s why I give it a 10/10.
Paris promenade would be sick if you went in the catacombs lol
Since the first tracks of the DLC were released, I was extremely hyped for the Wii's Rainbow Road. I knew it would come back, I knew it would be the very last one. And let me tell you, it's just as great as the old one. Like I'm playing it for the first time again
Ummmmm…… Tokyo Blur deserves the bottom spot. That track is an embarrassment to the beautiful city
"the DLC waves looks as good as the vanilla tracks" is a very bold statement lol
48 should have been ninja hideaway that stage is the worst they brought into the DLC I’d rather have had banshee boardwalk from N64 then ninja hideaway, ninja hideaway is more slippery than gba snow land and the 'shortcut' isn’t even a 'shortcut' the raising platform is just terrible it just destroys your whole flow and no matter how hard you try you always hit the wall, let’s not even get on the shy guy carboards that disappear and have bananas behind them the whole rooftop before you begin another lap is just extra slippery for no reason and y’all say this map is hype?!? Who you lying to? Best map: I’m gonna say Singapore speeedway love this map easily a 12/10 this map is just so aesthetically pleasing and the transition into Chinatown this map went so hard and even the music on it
P.S. before any of you got anything to say saying "skill issue" or "you only say that because guys just suck at Mario kart" here is the tournament code: 1083-5261-3931 if you see dwarian22 that’s me and we will see if i need better skills that’s all I gotta say ✌️
I’m surprised Rosalina’s Ice World isn’t ranked lower.
Wow. Your rankings are VERY different from mine. For example, I think Rome Avanti is one of the better real-world location tracks. It felt more unique and interesting to me than most of the others.
Personally, I think the worst track in the entire DLC is Sky-High Sundae. A boring oval with wonky physics. The handrail posts that you can anti-grav boost off of don't even spin like the anti-grav boosters normally do. Awful track.
WTF HOW CAN YOU HATE ON DS SHROOM RIDGE SO HARD?! Those corners feel SO DANGED GOOD to drift around. It's great!
GBA Sky Garden is a horrendous remake. They removed about half the track. Awful.
17:02 Well, not always. You ranked it as third worst in your top 20 back in 2015.
My rankings of the new courses from worst to best:
48. 3DS Toad Circuit: Why oh why did this track come back?! There's nothing special about this track, and any other 7 track would be fine. 0/10.
47. SNES Mario Circuit 3: One turn is straight up garbage on 200CC. Besides that, it should have been Mario Circuit 4. 0/10.
46. 3DS Rosalina's Ice World: The camera is atrocious here. Ew, no. I'd prefer Shy Guy Bazaar over this monstrosity. 2/10.
45. Ninja Hideaway: Some of the worst turns in a Mario Kart game ever. Did Nintendo even test this on 200CC?! 3/10.
44. Wii Mushroom Gorge: I'm not a huge fan of this track, and some turns are not kind on 200CC. Still, I'm more baffled on its inclusion more than anything. 5/10.
43. DS Mario Circuit: I will cry to the heavens saying Figure-8 Circuit was a missed opportunity here. The turning on 200CC is a nightmare. Besides that, the woods area was a nice touch. … Even if they gated off Peach's Castle here too. 6/10.
42. Wii Coconut Mall: Is it me, or are some the turns harder to pull off, if there's enough room to glide, and the ending might be more narrow compared to 7's version? As for the Shy Guy cars, I really don't have a problem with them like everyone else does. It still has the fun music. This one was hard to do, but 6/10.
41. Sky High Sundae: The first anti-gravity track when it came out. I have never been more confused than when I got a boost from the rails. Also, yeeesh, that last turn. 7/10.
40. Tour Paris Prominade: Looking at this course in hindsight compared to other Tour Tracks we have gotten, my initial ranking of 10/10 is maybe too high. I just loved how the Tour Tracks spiced things up. Overall, 7/10.
39. Tour Tokyo Blur: Another track I kind of ranked too highly because it was new, but I think is still okay. Not phenomenal, but still okay. 7/10.
38. GBA Sky Garden: I hate to say this track might have been butchered? I don't like some aspects of this track, but I will forgive it a little cause it's Sky Garden. That, and the music. 7/10.
37. N64 Choco Mountain: Those first few turns on 200CC are a nightmare. Other than that, I dig everything new here. 7/10.
36. GCN Waluigi Stadium: It should have been Wario Colosseum, and maybe my problems with Wii DK Summit are amplified more here maybe two-fold with the camera. 7.5/10.
35. Wii DK Summit: Can we all agree the camera is the main problem with some of these half-pipes? 7.5/10.
34. DS Shroom Ridge: Those ending turns are not 200CC friendly. But, I never thought I would enjoy this track more than others. 8/10
33. Tour Sydney Sprint: I do not like some part of the track layout when it comes to the jump ramp sections. Other than that, that saxophone just rocks! 8/10.
32. Bangkok Rush: WE'RE ON THE ROAD TO BANGKOK!~ Rush song reference aside, it's like a better Shy Guy Bazaar, even if I don't like some of the turns. 8/10.
31. Wii Rainbow Road: I have a few problems with it, but it's still fun to play on, and not as brutally hard like in Wii. 8/10.
30. GBA Sunset Wilds: sighs It's not the same. It's not outright horrible, and not as butchered as GBA Sky Garden, but just more bittersweet more than anything. 8/10.
29. Yoshi's Island: I love the theming on so on, but some tracks feel hard on 200CC. It's not bad, but the track design needed to be though out more. 8/10.
28. Wii Moonview Highway: I actually love how less chaotic the cars are here. Sue me. I always hated that in Mario Kart Wii, one of the most unforgiving Mario Kart games ever. That, and the music is amazing. 8.5/10.
27. Squeaky Clean Sprint: The end turns are a nightmare on 200CC. It's just Ribbon Road, but in a restroom. And I got no problem with that. 9/10.
26. Tour Amsterdam Drift: Some turns and the inorganic monk chants aside, I do love how it's like a mostly rustic course compared to the other tracks. 9/10.
25. Tour Vancouver Velocity: A nighttime version of Amsterdam Drift, and I think this track is better. 9/10.
24. Tour New York Minute: Okay, so this is obvious bias here, so 9/10. I just love the vibes here more than anything.
23. Tour Los Angeles Laps: I didn't like some parts of it from a layout design, but I still love the music. 9/10.
22. Wii Maple Treeway: Besides the camera, I do love how course as before. 9/10.
21. Wii Koopa Cape: Like with Maple Treeway. 9/10.
20. GBA Snow Land: Other than the fabled ramp, I really love how different but familiar this track is. 9/10.
19. GBA Boo Lake: No Boos and a lot of Dry Fish. 9/10.
18. Tour Athens Dash: Those pillars aside, I love how rustic this course is, and love the music more than Amsterdam Drift's. 9/10. I love Greek and Roman stuff, so this is a little bias here.
17. Tour Singapore Speedway: It felt a little short, but I can't lie in saying that everything is fun here. 9/10.
16. 3DS Rainbow Road: A few technical problems aside, this is one of the best Rainbow Roads, even if by now there's 5 OF THEM IN THIS GAME! 9/10!
15. DS Waluigi Pinball: Little changes aside, this is still an iconic track. 9/10.
14. Tour Madrid Drift: WHO WOKE THE WIGGLER FROM ITS SLEEP IN THE SECOND LAP?! 9.5/10.
13. Wii Daisy Circuit: This will be one of those times that I might get criticized, but this is a 9.5/10 for me.
12. GCN DK Mountain: Those pesky half-pipes aside, 9.5/10.
11. SNES Bowser Castle 3: Except for the ending Thwomps… This track is incredible! 9.5/10!
10. Tour Rome Avanti: Those random enemies aside, 9.5/10. Like with Athens Dash, this is out of bias.
9. GCN Daisy Cruiser: There should have been anti-gravity when the ship moves. But, I won't lie of how fun this track is. 9.5/10.
8. 3DS Rock Rock Mountain: I think it's one of the best retro tracks, art design aside and subjective. 10/10.
7. GBA Riverside Park: Wholeheartedly love how different but familiar this track is. I love the Ptooies, and that music goes hard with the trombones! 10/10!
6. Merry Mountain: One of the best original tracks from this Booster Course Pass. 10/10.
5. Tour London Loop: I just love mostly everything about this track, especially the music. 10/10.
4. Piranha Plant Cove: From a design standpoint, this is my favorite original track hands down. Sorry not sorry. 10/10.
3. Berlin Byways: Those Thwomp falling remind me a specific event in 1991. 10/10. Also, it has the best song in the game hands down.
2. DS Peach Gardens: I love the twist at the third lap, because it's better than how Sydney Sprint did it. The music is amazing too. 10/10.
1. N64 Kalimari Desert: That twist at the second lap is phenomenal, and one of the best reasons this is one of the best of the Booster Pass. 10/10
I like the remakes of Koopa Cape and Rainbow Road, but, I don't know, it feels like the tracks have shrunk. They felt like huge set pieces in the original and they feel so tight and compact now
I almost disliked the video when I saw ice world outrank dk mountain
New York Minute was not the first city track in 8 Deluxe.

1. Squeaky Clean Sprint 🥇
I think Athens Dash is one of the worst tracks in the game, but that's probably because I havn't gotten good at it yet.
If they replaced all the Tour City tracks with actual courses, it would be a million times better.
Rip Toads Factory, Delphino Square, and Airship fortress…
Sky High Sundae is the worst course in the game
TOP 96 ?
Sorry but waluigi pinball has to be one of the most overrated thracks of all time.
Really waluigi pinball in first again it’s a really good track it’s one of my childhood tracks because Mario kart DS was my favorite but they just murdered this track in 8 deluxe because they did not add the losing effect when you go in the pinball machine, no new remix and the graphics are not that good kind of but still I disagree with your opinion I say between Wii rainbow road or squeaky clean sprint in first
As an australian, Sydney sprint is literally prefect.
Did Nathaniel just call a vibraphone solo a piano
"Nobodies surprised that Coconut Mall is this high on the list"
Are you high on something, Nathaniel? Are you even aware of how much they botched this track with the obvious arrow ramps and removal of Miis? And how could you possibly think some people would rank it at number one? Whatever you were smoking to make that decision, it must be some really good stuff!
30:58 bros still on the bridge 😭
If NintendoCapriSun was helping with this ranking, this is all he’d do:
2. Squeaky Clean Sprint;
“We’re IN THE BATHROOM”
