Every Mario Kart Course RANKED! - 156 Levels from Worst to Best 

That is the most confusing and most bizarre list I've seen, but at least I can appreciate it for variety and being different.

This is the real Mario movie right here

What’s confusing is how you have YOSHI FALLS over yoshi’s island. JUST HOW

Could not disagree more on a lot of these, and thats ok! Great and enjoyable video! It would probably take me like a year to make something like this, very impressive

its a breath of fresh air to watch someone who doesnt just dismiss the tour courses out of hand as the worst of the bunch. That being said, wario stadium being last hurts my heart lol. I love that track!

200cc is such a great inclusion in 8. it gives some of the more bland circuits a chance to be pretty fun. a lot of the bad mario kart circuits tend to all lack hazards, be very wide and have mainly long straights that makes them feel really slow and boring on 150 but are a lot more exciting on 200, even tokyo blur goes from boring as hell to passable

Seriously, can we please appreciate the ASTOUNDING dedication here? Not only for a video this long with a job this overwhelming, but the presentation of it all? The racers specifically selected for the courses, the special presentation throughout the "Cups" and for the Bowser Castles and Rainbow Roads? Seriously, Jak outdid himself this time. Big claps

Wahoo! Three hours talking about the the greatest kart racer ever, (besides Crash Team Racing,) and one of the best things Nintendo's ever made. I love how colorful and creative these courses get. Can't wait to see your top picks. Let's a go!

Honestly had to pause for 5 minutes when you ranked Yoshi’s Island so low 😂

Absolutely in love with the fact you chose to include the Arcade games. Hella underrated group of games. Video is a banger as always keep up the good work mate 🖤

I'm another individual of whom likes wario stadium. It's always been a standout in my family for our own house rules where the first two actually race, and the third (and fourth) players act as obstacles / crew members helping their designated teammate by target shocking at the top of the ramp so the other team's racer falls down and has to redo that section, launching shells and laying traps. no other track really allowed us to create these memories besides battle mode. For solo play, I've always enjoyed all the different types of turns to learn how to keep my speed up when I was learning the game, and the unintended goofy shortcuts are quite a treat to pull off. At least it is not plagued by blocks you hit almost every lap like the runner up to last place!

Unbelievable production value on this! Love the segues and the different themes per your picks! And to top it off, the correct number 1 race. Bravo

genuinely can’t explain the joy i got seeing a new ELR, given me background noise to watch 100 times for a good few months so cheers for that lad

Wario Stadium as the worst course is a lot to take in. I've never ever met anyone who doesn't like that course. This is a first for me.

Our Homie is finally doing a Nintendo related ranking, even covering the mixed Mario Kart Tour and the underrated lovely Arcade game. Square Eyed Jak, you legend! This is a big surprise for me to watch.

I can't say how happy my favorite track across the entire series took #3. I love to see it every time it comes back and it just goes to show how much of an absolute timeless classic it was on it's debut.

I am happy the arcade games are getting (at least some of) the recognition they deserve instead of either being excluded because of its small playerbase or dunked on because of its aspects such as the different controls and "over-simplistic" tracks. Their tracks have more to them than just visuals. Courses like Rainbow Coaster and Kingdom Way have portals that can function like Stage Morphs from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, transitioning players between as many courses as one desires and the courses they happen to love. For example, players can race on all four 3DS Special Cup courses in one race with portals. Not to mention some courses like Peach's Castle and Diamond City take inspiration from the games, which is something several mainline games do not even do.

The better put Toad’s Factory in MK10. I wanna see Wii Bowser Castle get remade too!

I love playing Wario Stadium online with friends. Using a lightning to send someone over the ramp is so satisfying. The shortcuts are fun to perform, and there's lots of cool tricks you can do on VS.

I am kinda shocked how much I disagreed with this ranking, like yoshis island, mushroom gorge, daisy criuser, and Cloudtop Cruise deserved to be a lot higher… and it isn’t just because of Nostalgia that makes them good… if you took it out of them… you’re left with amazing courses to place on

I can't be the only one who was getting mad over how badly he was playing the courses

bro dropping the 3 hour video and you know it's gonna be fire

It took a few viewing sessions but I've watched it all! As much as I'm more a fan of CTR, it's impressive just how many of these tracks I know and have enjoyed over the years. I need to get back to 8 deluxe. Was gifted the booster pack ages ago and haven't played all the tracks from it yet. You've definitely put me in the mood to do that now! Great work as always 👍

2:55:48 Did you know that Wii Bowser's Castle's song is just Maple Treeway's song slowed down?

Certainly wasn't expecting Mario Kart to be the next every level ranked but holy hell was it worth the wait and amazing! These videos look so grueling to make but the end result is always fantastic!

N64 Wario Stadium does have a lot of potential when it does return as a retro.

I cannot believe how much I disagree with most of your opinions on this list. Yoshi's Island below some of the stinkers from SNES, GBA, N64, and DS is baffling. However, the fact you took this time to give in depth reviews of all tracks is admirable. Well done.

I’ll out myself, I actually think N64 Wario Stadium is awesome, probably a top 5 N64 track for me and I even like it better than Waluigi Stadium in Double Dash lol

so far some upsets are crazy. placing tokyo blur higher then koopa cape and peach gardens. gg xD

thank you for this absolute masterpiece. even tho you ranked some courses lower than i thought (neo bowser city is in my opinion the best course in this franchise), i am really thankful that you gave so much effort into this 3 hour long video without a lack of pure quality

These Every level rank videos of yours have always been a treat to me, and seeing one for Mario Kart was really a delight to watch.

Absolutely love your ranked videos, especially the long ones like this. This is definitely a pleasant surprise for me after a long day.

Amazing video from start to finish. Thank you for giving me something to do today for 3 hours lol. I love watching videos like this and seeing everyone's unique opinions.

This was quite the endeavor and I appreciate all the work you've put into this. I look forward to your next ranking video.

I love all of those Mario Kart Tracks.

I appreciate the level of detail and time you put into this! I feel as though so many other rankings rush through or don’t explain the reasons for their rankings. Plus, you had some opinions I don’t normally see and I appreciate that. Awesome work, dude.

AMAZING I was smiling wide at the end when you ranked my favorite course at number one

this is a great video! loved hearing your opinions. must’ve taken forever to make this, great work!

I was waiting for somebody try to do their definitve list Kudos for counting Tour and Arcade

Tokyo Blur felt like a missed opportunity to make a nighttime Ridge Racer Type 4-esque track, dodging cars on the road.

Loved this video! Was a great watch seeing all your picks and your justifications for each one. Earned a new sub 👏

The sheer amount of dedication you put into these lists is absolutely staggering. Your passion and excitement makes you so entertaining to listen to, and even if I may disagree with a good number of these choices, you make your reasoning very clear and understandable, and it's obvious it all just stems from a love for what you're playing/talking about. You've been making bangers for a long while now, and this is no different. Great video, Jak.

Picking a super random video to post this on, but Jak, your videos have helped me so much over the last few years. Definitely all your hawktober stuff but all of your videos, especially long ones like these have been great distractions and listening tools for my brain from some major depression and issues in my life. I listen to a lot of your stuff while I work and In the background while I’m home. I appreciate all the effort and work you put into videos like this. Keep doing what you do best and know you have a fan for life over here bro ❤

I dig the live action setup, havent seen it before. Heavy 2017 Caddicarus vibes, dope.

whoa... what a race of journey! this is my favorite ELR so far next to Spyro Level ranked! Man I cant to see whats next! Thank you jak for this! :D

So glad to see Maple Treeway get 3rd place. It is one of, if not, the most popular tracks from Wii. So popular in fact, that it got bumped up from being in the BCP's 6th Wave, to being in the 3rd Wave.

Have been waiting for another one of these! These are my favorite, have watched the Jak and Daxter one at least 4 times aha, I work in a factory and listening to these helps the time go by much much faster!

Oh hell yeah, I love these! They are always worth the wait :)

Watched this when it came out but forgot to comment! Another fantastic video on my favourite series from you! I have to praise the editing, and design, especially loving those details you did for the banners, changing them up on Bowser Castles and Rainbow Roads... the passion is apparent, even on a monster three hour video. Very bold and unexpected rankings, as always I appreciate how you try to give a chance to games with technical limitations, and offer some interesting points... though I can't deny it was sad to see some of my favourite courses out surprisingly early! My all time favourite level is probably Koopa Cape from MKWii! Though I agree with you that this series has a unique charm that we all inevitably build memories with our favourite courses, and it's so consistent it's hard to go wrong with any of them. As a suggestion, I think you had previously mentioned something about analyzing the numbers, it'd be very interesting if after finishing the list you ran the averages to see some statistics such as which games have the best levels to round off the video. Regardless, another great video worth the three hours!

I’ve always loved Mushroom Gorge and Dino Dino Jungle. Such classics but also some hidden gems

Your reaction to Yoshi's Island was the polar opposite of the vast majority of people including myself, it's an S tier for me, but that difference is what makes your take so refreshing

unlike other ranking videos, i like that you gave the snes tracks a fair whirl instead of clumping them all at the bottom of the list

HAHAHA, oh Jak I'm so thrilled to see this. Know I'm a little late, but especially pleased to see a few visits to Timezone meant we got some Arcade GP footage too. 😁 Also the yellow fountain line had me cackling. "Thank god we're not in a snow level!" XD Honestly, it still blows my mind that Koopa Beach only got the Super Circuit and Tour treatment. I was lowkey holding out to see it have a big glow up in 8DX, but you're right, I think that hope was from love of the music track only, not in it being a standout track... that or I keep confusing it with Koopa Troopa Beach, that could be it. But honestly, it makes sense that Excitebike Arena upwards is SOLID levels that only get better with each entry as they both aesthetically and mechanically set themselves apart. Like, that's the important thing to consider, out of 156 stage, tracks 120-135 are decent, tracks 100-120 are just GOOD, and then from Paris onwards we just hit to good quality and go skybound! And taking your unbiased view going in was a good approach to really give an outsiders perspective without bias or familiarity taking hold of personal choice. Like I said watching the CTR vid, there were favourites of mine in low rankings, but their competition ranked higher was just stronger. Will say, pleased to see Melody Motorway (my personal favourite) ranking so high!

Wow, what a bumper and brilliant treat this was to watch! I really enjoyed your opinons and enthusiasm, nice to have an Ozzie accent to listen to throughout!

Love all of your ranking videos Man!

Just finished rewatching the tony hawks levels ranked and then this dropped! Christmas came early thanks Jak! A tier content as always

I did not expect you out of all people make a Mario Kart video of this magnitude but wow I'm in for it

Donut Plains in the top half is insane

im always at awe on the amount of organizational, scripting work for each of these ranking videos

Holy shit a 3 hour ranked video now this is something I have been waiting for and I am glad this ranking is coming from someone who came in with an almost unbiased opinion on the series

Always a great day to receive 3 hours of Jak content. 👌🔥

Definitely Gonna Binge this, Love seeing these Videos!

@1:57:41 there's a shortcut there??? I've played this game for 30 years and never knew.

I was just thinking the other day, I wonder when Jak will do another worst to best ranking video. I always loved these. I know I am going to be watching this over the next few days.

I am really amazed by the amount of quality tracks in the series.

Jak please come back to RU-vid Ive been binging your channel in a kinda depressing state but you're videos comfort me and give off very nostalgic vibes (such and not limited to your tony hawktober and skatetember series) to when things weren't so stressful, inspiring to step out of my video game comfort zone buying and playing new games, I hope everything is well chap and hope to see you upload again very soon!!! P.S. were you ever able to track down that skateboarding plug and play? (This comment was uploaded before watching said video it was posted on and I'm going to watch now lol)

New Subscriber: Awesome videos you have been making, especially your ranking videos. Also, @43:09 LOL

I HAVE to bring up the one thing everyone in Spain was talking about regarding Madrid Drive. Madrid has a big building with the Schweppes logo, which as silly as it sounds, has become a bit of an iconic sight in Madrid. Some actually love the thing while others (mainly those outside of Madrid) just bring it up as a joke to point out how uninteresting Madrid is despite being the country's capital city. Mario Kart has that building! It obviously doesn't say Schweppes but it's absolutely based on the Schweppes building. Truly amazing to see something like that being represented in a Triple A Nintendo game. Another thing that I'm surprised you didn't mention is that the Wario Cup from the arcade game takes inspiration from WarioWare, which is super rare to see.

Love Your ranking and Crash Bandicoot Videos Jak! I was surprised that you ranked every Mario Kart Track because there is A LOT of them. Gotta get my food ready!

1:58:57 Fun fact: Super Mario Kart wasn't planned to even _have_ a Rainbow Road. In its place was an unused Choco Island 3

So happy to see this upload!

Happy new year Jackie boi! On to bigger n better things this year let’s get them subs up!🎉

Jak, the amount of effort that goes into these lists is fucking insane. Every year you manage to drop these bangers.

Great video reviving great memories!

Im that one person who likes Wario Stadium, feel free to mock me.

I've been binging your ranked videos again recently so this couldn't have came at a better time! Thanks again for such quality content dude 👌

This series was great. I joined this great game in the year of 2014 when Mario Kart 8 released and honestly, I was so addicted to this game that I continued playing up until the dlc. This was a great journey and I can’t wait for the next Mario Kart. I’m glad I didn’t sleep on this. Catch you at the finish line.

Great stuff my man :)

I haven't even played MK since Double Dash, but I still had to show appreciation for the work on this! Love your other videos so I knew that this would be a banger. I'm shocked at how good some of those courses on the DS and 3DS looked.

Amazing video, new subscriber!

Watching this video was what informed me about the boxes to the left of the fountain in Peach Beach. I've been playing this game throughout most of my life and it never occured to me to go to the left, since I'm would clearly be such a handicap to do so. That's pretty funny.

While I don't agree with your list, this was an AMAZING video! Love your content ❤

A new Square Eyed Jak ranking video is like a holiday

this is one of the strangest lists i’ve ever seen in my life it makes sense i mean this guy probably just ran through grand prix one time on each track on each game but still very odd

This video had been a very fun watch, but Daisy Cruiser, Mushroom Gorge, and Cloudtop Cruise being below all tour city tracks is what I call: a crime

There was just something so satisfying about lightning bolting people as they were jumping the ramp on Wario Stadium, that’s the only thing I remember about the track so I can see it being boring.

F-zero levels ranked? The video would definitely be shorter, but still! That series was my childhood racing favorite, i remember spending hours in GX. Anyways, great video man!!

I am ome of the few that liked wario stadium on the n64

5:15 I’ve found three people who consider it to be the best MK64 track, believe it or not.

Honestly I have fond memories of wario stadium. Mario kart N64 at 10 years old made me love all those tracks. The longer laps were fun with friends.

Dude this is gonna take me the rest of the year to finish but thank you !! Lol

You deserve more subscribers, Jak.

Props to Jak for showing love to the Mario Kart Arcade GP games.

Glad my man respects Banshee Boardwalk. I only ever played the DS Version but still my favourite track to this day. Can't quite articulate why, just a great vibe lots of memories.

The Pac-Man cup honestly feels more like the old Pac-Man cartoon rather than Pac-Man World, with the power pellet trees and the pac-shaped lake. Hell, it even includes a motif from said cartoon in the music. Pac-Man rambling aside, this is a good list. Especially since the legendary Mario Kart Arcade GP games are in the spotlight too.

Nice ive rewatched THPS levels ranked 3 times now for background noise at work 😅

Honestly, read some of the comments about how odd your list was, honestly, that pumped me up to see it.

Someone never got to drive on the top of mushroom bridge 😅

I am outing myself as a Wario Stadium fan 😅

Thank you for giving me credit !
