Late to this video, but i am very surprised and honored to see Sky High Island in second, as well as some of my other creations being placed high too. I am very glad to see my creations in your opinion are largely welcomed. A huge thank you, and to all of the other modders for helping me along the way while creating Sky High Island too.
It's crazy how some of these lower-ranked tracks are still in CTGP whilst decent tracks get removed. Oh well...can't wait to see your 2022 update of the list.
This was awesome! Something about this video was so interesting to me, seeing the removed tracks and what you think about them. Im still new to ctgp and downloaded it a couple months ago, but its so much fun to see and play all the tracks. I had no idea you made dark matter fortress, i played it a while ago and had a blast with it so well done on that! It was an outstanding stage. As for your video, it really kept my attention with my curiosity for the custom tracks, and i watched the entire thing! Great work, and keep it up man :)
Hm? Did I not leave a comment here? I could've sworn I did. Oh well, even if it's, what, 3 years late?, great job on the video and thank you very much for the kind words on Windy Whirl!
You are insane. Great video, really entertaining throughout. Especially loved the editing, all the visual effects were really smooth. Your reason for including Dark Matter Fortress in your ranking was brilliant, though you were way too humble with your placement of it. Easily Top 20 for me.
There's exactly 2 things I would disagree with in this list. Maka Wuhu is too low and Garden of Dreams is a 10/10 in my book. Great list, I'm really happy you made this follow up!
Here is the list of the reasonings behind all of the un-updated tracks: zerobin.net/?b1e15aca5bdceca6#6Tdc7kWyO5q9UmTRr+iPFHPvshpDisJ/SZ10u9Qxnwk= Just wanted to say here that I learned a lot from this video and after finishing it, I would've made a couple changes had I done it again, but I'm hoping you guys still enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it
You showed a lot "improvement tracks", but you never showed us how to replace the original maps with them. Would be great, would you make a video about it. Never the less great video!
@@mskouley1391 Not sure why this happened but I replaced the OG link with a pastebin from another site, hopefully it works now. Thanks for pointing that out!
While I disagree (and for some tracks heavily) with some of the rankings and opinions, I appreciate the effort and time you took to make a sequel to your first CTGP ranking video. Great job for the effort
I was never fond of Lunar Lights (and maybe it's because I haven't started playing CT Lounge and haven't learned the track fully). It definitely deserves the praise as a CTGP defining track. Don't know if I would call it the best in the whole pack. Really nice video! I'm surprised to see how long I was just focused so deeply on this 😅
Believe it or not, there is at least one person that enjoys Kirio Raceway, that would be me lmao Anyways big props for tackling this again! I agree with most of your placements around the video, and it was cool to see you talk about your own track from a critical perspective.
Great video! It was very interesting to see a ranking of all CTGP tracks as I'd never seen one before. Your rankings largely make sense and allowed me to get a new perspective on tracks that I'd only played a handful of times. I can tell that a huge amount of effort went into this video, from the transitions to the changing of placements rankings (ex. +5, -30). All in all it made for a very thorough video. Well done!! Edit: I didn't even see the list attached in the description where you had written rationale for all the tracks. Amazing work man!
I respected the fuck out of you for making the last one, and I love this ranking as well. As a relative beginner who almost exclusively plays CTs, I completely identify with your opinions on good track design (easy to learn, hard to master, etc.). Incredible video. Props.
Thanks for all the work you put into this video and deviding the video up so nicely. As someone who just installed CTGP yesterday the 200+ tracks are kinda daunting to think about. This will certainly help me enjoy the better tracks sooner, rather than play them alphabetically haha
I really liked this video! I loved how it was concise and short but you also managed to hit the nail on the head with most tracks. I think that it would have been nice to see how your ranking compares to the actual wiimmfi ranking, just in the corner but that is only small. As for your video next year, instead of re-uploading mostly the same list, I think you could rate the updates throughout the year. That way, it would allow you to discuss removals/new additions/updates like this video whilst mostly avoiding copying and pasting the main video.
This is such an improvement from your old video, and your old video was one of my favorite videos on this platform! great work Justin! You have improved so much since your last ranking :D
Thanks for making an update so I can kill my time. I think this goes without saying but let's appreciate all of the track creators who went out of their way to create the tracks in the first place. While there are some opinions I disagree with (how high Lunar Lights, Color Wonderland, Cave Island, Lakeside Park, and Pipe Underworld are on the list) I think there was a lot of good changes and 90% of this I can agree on. Massive respect
Can't say I fully agree with everything here, but cool. For the case of Kirio if it was updated with the loop and blind turn removed I imagine it would be better, idk if it would get back in the pack though.
Dark Matter Fortress is such a good track, not gonna lie. 7k is currently on this track for our monthly TT challenge, and it’s fun to play. Great Video! 👍
I'm glad to hear that! I was excited when I realized there was a kart only strat to see what the leaderboards would be like. Good luck with your times!
@@JustinMKW the Kart strat is absolutely incredible and I love how it differentiates and makes the comparison between Karts and Bikes something you don’t see every day. Who knows, maybe in due time the WR could be with a Kart, but I don’t think we’ll be able to push it that far down in a month. 100% one of the best.
Nice video update! Appreciate you going through it at least. I felt pretty differently about a lot of the tracks though, like Lava Road. Yeah, it wasn't all that before, but now even the stupid quirks that made it interesting are gone and there's no point having it in the pack I feel
This list is pretty cool! I personally prefer original designs to ports, so a lot of ports would be lower for me. Jiyuu Village is my favorite track; Jiyuu is an absolute legend.
I really love the fact that you made another list. I do however disagree with a lot. especially with garden of dreams being so high, it is so hard for new players to play as since there are certain parts not very clear. Like the ending where you have to go left, the cave section being too harsh, the fences causing you to get stuck and the first circle not being clear enough. The visuals however are increddible.
it’s nice to see a casual player’s perspective on all the ctgp tracks. by the way, you can actually play these tracks online against other people (instead of playing boring cpu races!) you seem like you could get around 7000 vr with a good amount of effort
based list. even with the newer tracks that I disagree heavily on your placements the reasoning is all well thought out and brings a unique perspective. glad you updated it also ngl while I still don’t like saltwater im starting to get why people like it.
100%! The version that was in this video was very old (I think 2013) and the new one by squire looks and plays much better. Cheep cheep beach isn't my favourite track from Nintendo but it would definitely rate higher than the position in this ranking
38:05 how does that grass look so good?! In mkwii! Its not some parallax effect I think because you can see it has actual depth on the edges. How is it so good. MY BRAINS
No seriously? They removed Seaside Resort??? I don't have my Wii right now to update but will defnitely not update ctgp for the moment xd great ranking btw, will you do one of Mario Kartt Wii Hack Pack X or other ct packs?
Yeah it's sad to see but can't say I'm the most surprised, the track is pretty old. I won't be doing any other packs, mainly because CTGP is basically the only one that I and many others play. I do have interests in other packs but I think I could only pull off a crop ranking
It'd def be a fun idea to rank some other distributions but I think most of the tracks are from 2022 and I already covered a lot of them in my wiiki showcase vids
I feel like track rankings are controversial because i prefer tracks that give nintendo wii track type races but I wouldn’t really think about time trialing them One thing you can be sure of however is that nobody likes luck based tracks (baby park) and peaks should become a hidden track
"One thing you can be sure of however is that nobody likes luck based tracks (baby park)..." What? Plenty of people like wacky tracks like that. There's a fine art though to making a luck-based track that's actually enjoyable though. Baby Park kinda throws skill out the window, but in Double Dash and 8 it's so chaotic and energetic that you still get a rush out of it. Either way I know people can like luck-based tracks.
I would do an update video if I had the time for it but I very likely won't, I do really like banished keep though and off the top of my head I'd definitely put it in the top 10 tracks. Not sure if I'd say #1 yet, but still a very fun track that I enjoy playing as often as it gets picked
