Every Mario Kart Wii Track Ranked 

Grumble Volcano

Fun fact about rainbow road, it is famously THE kart track in the competitive scene. In fact, for a long time the world record was done on a kart, until an insane ultra shortcut was found by a TASer and later incredibly performed by an actual human. But rainbow road is still the one track whose world record was held by a kart for a significant period of time.

Mushroom Gorge is a childhood favorite, and Maple Treeway stole my heart away, though I must admit this game has a phenomenal Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road! Love this kind of game design! :D

Wii's tracks are unparalleled compared to the rest of the series. They're just packed full of cool ideas.

As a person who grew up playing Mario Kart 7, the Wii tracks are extraordinary.

The Ultra Shortcut for Grumble Volcano should be a big plus in your eyes if it's in the bottom 5. You get to finish it in 30 seconds.

Is it just me, or does the star cup almost always have one of the best track selections in mario kart games (at least since DS)?

I will always credit Mario Kart Wii for igniting my love of the entire Mario series. The credits music is still one of my favorite game tracks ever.

Fun Fact: Coconut Mall has been the most requested track for Mario Kart Tour ever since the game came out 2 years ago. That's how iconic it is. Edit: Wow it seems like Coconut Mall is most likely coming to Mario Kart Tour in the future, based on the new MK8DX DLC tracks.

Grumble Volcano is my personal favorite. Love the fiery aesthetic and falling flaming rocks. The facts that the track changes with each lap is really dynamic and cool imo. Also the song is a banger 🔥

We have a house rule where the last track we play always has to be Moo Meadows. I’m getting married to that song bro. Don’t diss the absolute best track in the game or else (great video dude!!)

Glad to see you back silok but small critique, I thought the thumbnail choice was a bit bizarre since your avatar makes your videos easier to notice and click on as opposed to being a generic mariokart thumbnail that I would usually scroll right past

Maple treeway is my favorite mario kart wii custom track, for the scenery and track layout. I’ve been playing Mario kart wii a lot recently and it’s great to see people still playing it over 10 yrs later, this game is what introduced me to Mario Kart and it’s definitely a childhood favorite of Nintendo’s catalog.

I remember playing this game a lot with my sister years ago, and a number of those times, she’d make me pick Moo Moo Meadows for all four races.

1:05 I was completely blown away about what Shy Guy beach looks like in tour, then I realized that this is actually Cheep Cheep Island, another GBA track. But still, Shy Guy beach could have been more interesting.

i grew up playing mario kart wii, all of these tracks are special to me in some way. i fucking loved rainbow road as a kid, i would play it ALL THE GODDAMN TIME. its probably what made me so good at mario kart in the first place tbh

This is an injustice to grumble volcano... easily top 5. But, to be fair, this is the only time I have ever disagreed with Silok.

The Grumble Volcano fire balls are 100% a skill issue, they are not random at all. Just dodge, or drive differently.

This game is my favorite hands-down, for its tracks, gimmicks, character selection, modes, EVERYTHING! I adore its Rainbow Road, I love how it references Mario Galaxy and I'm heavily disappointed Nintendo hasn't brought it back yet. It's iconic. I hope it makes a return in the booster pass

Bowser Castle 3 is my favourite. The music is AMAZING, and I love all the jumps and the colour scheme they used for it is awesome as well.

This video was really well paced. I like how you didn’t take too long talking about each track whereas most people would have made this a boring 30 minute video.

Mario Kart Wii will forever be my favourite game in the series, nothing will ever change that (I’m probably biased cause it’s the one I grew up with but yeah, it’s still fantastic… AND THE MUSIC TOO LIKE OMFG WHAT WAS NINTENDO WHEN MAKING ALL THESE BANGERS WOOO-)

Excited for next weeks in depth video on Moo Moo meadows.

Rainbow road was my dad’s favourite. Its a test to your skill, and determinstion. Also, you could also see the island where we live from the globe below.

Grumble Volcano 28th, you lost your permission to talk.

Idk why but I love Sherbet land. It's a track that I don't remember often but when I do, I only have fond memories of it. And something abiut the ice is just beautiful. Oh btw I like DK parkway more on the N64. Could be the nostalgia talking but I like the more vibrant look it has.

I love mushroom gorge, mainly because no one could beat me when I played it as a child!!

I am so happy that you have found a way to upload consistently and keep your life on track ❤️

Matt search history be like *why is moo moo meadows so good* *moo moo meadows ranking* *moo moo meadows is the best track*

As a person who's played 64 the reason for dk jungle park is mainly two reasons more so one of them, they got rid of the monkeys throwing coconuts when you go to the grass which slows you down even when in a star, the other is smaller but the way to the ramp in the cave is easier and faster than Wii which you often just hit the ceiling.

Grumble Volcano is severely underrated imho

Glad to see that so many people love the Wii tracks. Coconut Mall and Maple Treeway forever (Silok also ranked a bunch of my other favorite tracks highly but there are too many to list lmao)

Silok is projecting "Matt's" opinion. We all know Moo Moo is the best.

Good to see you back Silok and better than ever, I really enjoyed this and the previous video! 1:04 It's actually Cheep-Cheep Island, but yeah, it's a shame that Shy Guy Beach wasn't translated into 3D as well as that GBA track. 12:02 This made me think, wouldn't it be cool to be able to see where players fell off in Mario Kart just like deaths in Mario Maker 2?

Silok: Not only is this the most difficult Rainbow Road… SNES Rainbow Road: *Are you sure about that*

Wow! You’re really ranking all 250 tracks? oh wait this isn’t ctgp…

moonview highway is definitely one of the most beautiful tracks in mario kart.

We need a Toad’s Factory remake man. I’ve been waiting for years.

Only New Tracks: 16: Luigi Circuit 15: Mario Circuit 14: Dry Dry Ruins 13: Moonview Highway 12: Daisy Circuit 11: Moo Moo Meadows 10: Bowser’s Castle 9: Rainbow Road 8: Grumble Volcano 7: DK Summit 6: Mushroom Gorge 5: Toad’s Factory 4: Maple Treeway 3: Koopa Cape 2: Coconut Mall 1: Wario’s Gold Mine

The nostalgia in this video had me smiling so much

Maple Treeway and that Peach Castle map with the hot air balloons and huge jump from MK8 (can’t remember the name) are some of my favorite tracks of all time.

Also have a friend that think that moo moo meadows is the best track on the game and refuses to elaborate, I start thinking this is a cult

GRUMBLE VOLCANO IS AMAZING

mario kart WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Koopa Cape was my favourite map and always will be , I was so sad when I loaded up MK on the switch and noticed it was missing

Their is a weird sense of nostalgia, fear, terror and panic and enjoyment I get when I see mkw rainbow road

My list: 32 - Luigi Circuit (-6) 31 - Mario Circuit 3 (-7) 30 - Shy Guy Beach (+1) 29 - Mario Raceway (-4) 28 - Yoshi Falls (+4) 27 - Ghost Valley 2 (+3) 26 - Mario Circuit N (+1) 25 - Sherbet Land (-2) 24 - Desert Hills (+5) 23 - DK's Jungle Parkway (-6) 22 - Peach Beach (±0) 21 - Daisy Circuit (-8) 20 - Mario Circuit R (-1) 19 - Wario's Gold Mine (+1) 18 - Waluigi Stadium (-6) 17 - Bowser Castle 3 (+1) 16 - DK Summit (-8) 15 - Bowser's Castle R (-8) 14 - Moo Moo Meadows (+7) 13 - Dry Dry Ruins (+2) 12 - Peach Gardens (-2) 11 - Grumble Volcano (+17) 10 - Moonview Highway (+6) 9 - Toad's Factory (-3) 8 - DK Mountain (+3) 7 - Bowser's Castle N (+2) 6 - Delfino Square (-1) 5 - Mushroom Gorge (+9) 4 - Rainbow Road (-3) 3 - Coconut Mall (+1) 2 - Koopa Cape (±0) 1 - Maple Treeway (+2) Total level of disagreement (all of the positive values above added up) = *65*

Bro giving Grumble Volcano 2 stars is a crime against humanity

4:13 "Wario's Goldmind"

How did you not mention that Toad’s Factory has the best song in the series

As a 5-7 (I’m not really sure) year old kid when i used to play it, i adored every cup except ghost valley 2 and rainbow road, both of which i despised. Why? My dumbass baby brain had no idea how to drift.

My personal list: 1. Coconut Mall (5) 2. Koopa Cape (5) 3. Maple Treeway (5) 4. Rainbow Road (5) 5. Toad’s Factory (5) 6. Wario’s Gold Mine (4) 7. DK Summit (4) 8. Bowser’s Castle (4) 9.

Apart from grumble volcano being a 2/5 i agree with this list, great video!

Mario Circuit 3 several spots above grumble volcano is insanity.

Grumble Volcano being lower than Sherbet Land????

ngl matt's spitting facts

I knew this track list was gonna be wack as soon as I saw luigi circuit wasnt number 32

Me and my friend used to HATE rainbow road because we kept falling off. Then, one day I did the whole track without falling off and it seemed revolutionary!

0:38 "extremely gentle turns" Proceeds to crash into the fence. lmao if this wasnt planned idk what to tell you

The fire in Grumble Volcano is the same every time

I literally was finishing Peach Gardens on DS when you got to that part of the video 😂

10:55 “when the servers were online” lol Real ones kno the servers are still up

As someone who's played Mario Kart Wii for 11 years now, seeing this type of thing made my day. I even agree with most placements, although I don't entirely understand Daisy Circuit over both Mushroom Gorge and Dry Dry Ruins...still a good video regardless! Also, fun fact: Rainbow Road is the only track in the game where a kart holds a Time Trial World Record in the Glitchless (No-SC) category.

When the wii/MKWii came out my parents bought it for me so I would be occupied while they dealt with my new brother Now I’m studying to be a mechanical engineer with plans to go into the automotive engineering segment because of it lol

Ok how is grumble volcanoes placement not incredibly controversial in the comments it is seen as one of the best in the community

That silly Matt editing your script to praise Moo Moo Meadows, that keeps cracking me up lol 😆

Grumble Volcano is like one of my favourite Mario Kart tracks ever I literally shouted WHAT when it was ranked so low

And now Coconut Mall, and likely more are coming to MK8D. Let's go

I love the fact in mario kart 8 deluxe everyone picks the wii tracks over the base game tracks online every time it seems

Oh no, you’ve completely misunderstood how the game works. You see, when I tell you to “get good” in the context of Grumble Volcano I mean that you should memorize the fireball patterns, because its isn’t random. Ironically, the same applies for the lightning too, that has a (somewhat) predictable pattern as well

Bro driving like my grandma in this video, funky kong/flame runner supremacy

4:49 This one has my favorite song in the game.

No matter how good a mariokart Wii track is, the music always slaps. Great ranking btw

3:57 and ur buddy matt would be 100% correct, moo moo meadows supremacy

Grumble volcano slander. a track based around a volcano is awesome. it’s one of my favorites

I agree with most of the rankings and overall scores, mario kart wii is so nostalgic for me as it was the first mario kart game I ever played

“I do not think Yoshi Falls is necessarily bad” (gives it only one star out of 5)

Damn, Grumble Volcano is one of my favourites. Too bad that those fireballs are random.. oh wait they're on cycles because otherwise Time Trials wouldn't work.

Koopa Cape and Maple Treeway were my 2 favs from Wii. Glad to see they made it to the 3DS and in the top 5 of this list. Wii's Rainbow Road is probably my favorite finisher in the MK series. Again with the 3DS, but it had a great RR as well.

Desert Tracks seem to be the Underwater Levels of Mario Kart

(11:53) SNES Rainbow Road; You're not that guy pal

the only thing im complaining about, is puting n64 bowers castle higher than wii’s bowers castle

that first turn on the boost panel section on mh has ended so many races you would not believe

Daisy Circuit is one of my, perhaps my absolute, favourite track in MKW and I was worried it was going to get a low rating here with the early circuit bashing, but I'll take 13 :p

When I was but a boy, I HATED Ghost Valley 2 because my Wii was set up in the room in the house where the most natural sunlight got in so it was impossible to see anything. I’ve also always had a weird pent up distain for Jungle Parkway, and I don’t know why, I just got cheesed whenever it was picked.

5:27 woah baby luigi+jet bubble is my online main 🤯

I really like the strong turns in SNES Ghost Valley. Super satisfying to go through!

This game has some fantastic nitro tracks but the retros are so sub par that 8’s are much better

now... the question is what is your opinion on Airship Fortress

The Wii/DS era of games was so good

Thanks for reminding me of the god tier tune that is Mario Kart Wii's progressing Menu theme

thank you so much for this video i needed it so much this is genuine

2:25 If you count SNES Battle Course 4 and GBA Battle Course 3 which are based off of the circuit theme, it's 8.

I only have one wish: Koopa Cape in top 5 at least. Edit: Christmas came early it seems

Nitro 16: Luigi Circuit - 1 15: Mario Circuit - 2 14: Wario’s Goldmine - 2 13: Toad’s Factory - 3 12: Daisy Circuit - 3 11: Moonview Highway - 3 10: Moo Moo Meadows - 3 9: Coxonut Mall - 3 8: Dry Dry Ruins - 4 7: Mushroom Gorge - 4 6: DK Summit - 4 5: Rainbow Road - 4 4: Bowser’s Castle - 4 3: Grumble Volcano - 5 2: Koopa Cape - 5 1: Maple Treeway - 5 Retro 16: Shy Guy Beach - GBA - 1 15: Yoshi Falls - DS - 1 14: Sherbet Land - N64 - 2 13: Ghost Valley 2 - SNES - 2 12: Mario Circuit 3 - SNES - 2 11: Peach Beach - GCN - 2 10: Waluigi Stadium - GCN - 3 9: Desert Hills - DS - 3 8: Peach Gardens - DS - 3 7: Mario Circuit - GCN - 3 6: DK Jungle Parkway - N64 - 4 5: Mario Raceway - N64 - 4 4: Bowser Castle 3 - GBA - 4 3: Delfino Square - DS - 5 2: DK Mountain - GCN - 5 1: Bowser’s Castle - N64 - 5

Is there a reason you used mainly mirror mode footage for Desert Ruins (and only desert ruins)? Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just caught me off guard. Edit: Ok, there's a bit of mirror mode in Rainbow Road's footage

SilokHawk: Luigi curcuit>grumble volcano. Hmmmmmm

Rainbow Road, GBA Bowser Castle 2, DK's Snowboard Cross.

Amazing original early comment about SilokHawk possibly having a consistent upload schedule? Yes.

Wow, awesome!
