Predicting Mario Kart 8!! Part 1: Retro Stages 

You actually predicted two DLC tracks! (Ribbon Road and Cheese Land)

"There's no "I" in team. There is a "me" if you jumble it up, though" It's a quote from the show House haha

I've gotten a 4th Prediction correct!! Check out the video to see what it was! :D

5:16 we interrupt Nathaniel Bandy to bring you GameXPlain

Shell Cup: Wii Moo Moo Meadows DS Cheep Cheep Beach GBA Mario Circuit N64 Toad's Turnpike Banana Cup: GCN Dry Dry Desert SNES Donut Plains 3 N64 Royal Raceway 3DS DK Jungle Leaf Cup: SNES Mario Circuit 4 3DS Music Park GCN Wario Colosseum Wii Grumble Volcano Lightning Cup: 3DS Pirahna Plant Slide DS Tick-Tock Clock GBA Bowser Castle 4 N64 Rainbow Road All of the Above is based off of current facts.

Man this is nostalgic. This is the first video I saw from you. Been watching since. Crazy that it has been 8 years.

It's hard making choices when you have 80-90 tracks to choose from. And it's a hard stage, they've had stages like Mario Circuit in previous games in the Lightning Cup before.

I know for a fact Nintendo will go with the fan favorites, but I wanted to make a different list because logically it would make more sense to save up retro tracks for the future games. And this video came out months before Mario Kart 8 was announced, so there was no way I could've found tracks to utilize the anti-gravity feature at that time.

I’m from the future, and the GBA tracks have received the love they deserve

Grumble Volcano, or Rock Rock Mountain would be pretty cool.

There's definitely an abundance of ice and water themed tracks on the list.

My predictions for Mario Kart 8's retro tracks: *Shell Cup* Wii: Moo Moo Meadows GBA: Mario circuit DS: Cheep Cheep Beach N64: Toad's Turnpike *Banana Cup* SNES: Donut Plains III GCN: Dry Dry Desert N64: Royal Raceway 3DS: DK Jungle *Leaf Cup* DS: Wario Stadium GCN: Sherbet Land 3DS: Music Park N64: Yoshi Valley *Lightning Cup* DS: Tick Tock Clock 3DS: Piranha Plant Slide Wii: Grumble Volcano N64: Rainbow Road

Oh the nostalgia

At least Ribbon Road was DLC. Miyamoto: Your welcome, Nathaniel.

I'm very excited for it too! I just hope it has more variety then mario kart 7 did

hence means why I did something. I wrote "predictions" in the title of this video because these are just the stages I predicted will be in the next Mario Kart.

I almost went with organizing that way, but out of all 7 of the games, only 2 of them have the 20 courses. So I went with what Nintendo will most likely end up doing for Mario Kart Wii U, which were going to have a playable demo at E3 this year!

NB managed to predict 11/16 retro tracks for MK8!

oh yeah, I forgot about that! Well, we better see some music park in the trailer :D

With the DLC2,you get 6 corrects predictions! xD

I think you have to have a little of both worlds. Meaning, some stages I chose are bland and some are very interesting; this would make it possible to always have some interesting stages in future incarnations of the games; otherwise we would run out very quickly. And I had a lot of trouble fitting that anywhere else in the slots, so I just put it there.

me too! honestly, if only 1 of my predictions could be put in the game, it HAS to be music park! those head bopping piranah plants are just way too awesome

Toad's Factory would probably be a better choice, but they usually have a basic track for the Leaf Cup as their first track, hence why I picked Luigi Circuit.

yes I know! I have a reaction video on my channel showing how I reacted to the Mario Kart 8 channel :)

Came back to this video as it was in my recommended. I recall this being the very first NB video I’ve ever watched that had me hit the subscribe button. Crazy to think about where we are today with 8DX now.

definitely, it would throw off the balance I'm hoping for but it would be a great stage to add still

Tick Tock Clock, Yoshi Circuit, Moonview Highway, Mushroom Bridge, Maple Treeway, Peach Beach, Ghost Valley 2, Sky Garden, All Rainbow Roads

I wanna see Sunset Wilds, Daisy Circuit, Rosalina's Ice World and Wario Coliseum getting remade someday

Tick Tock Clock on Mario Kart DS, and the song from Waluigi Pinball also on the Mario Kart DS.

This and the 15 hardest sm64 stars are my favorite NB videos

that was something I would've added too, but mushroom city was in the DS version. and thanks!

where did this assumption come from? All of the gameplay I found on RU-vid lol, but actually my favorite is Dry Bones

This has aged… surprisingly well.

Daisy Circuit and Rosalinas Ice World is coming to MK8 now

N64 Rainbow Road would truly be amazing, especially in HD.

good eye man, I can't believe I missed that! I would probably swap out Wario Colloseum with the Gamecube Bowser's Castle

This brings back soooo much

thanks for sharing! and tick tock clock is one of the best mario kart stages EVER

1:31 this needs to be on the NB Clips channel if not already along with “using a chain chomp while gliding would violently tickle my funny bone!”

that would be amazing!

thanks dude! And I like those choices!

DK Summit! Rosalina's Ice World! Ribbon Road! Cheese Land! Music Park! Wario Colosseum! Yes please! These are my favorite tracks of all time!

thanks man, I hope I get at least 50% of these right; that would be EPIC!

Your prediction makes sense and the repartition of different games of the series is well-made, but let's face it, Nintendo will never truly adopt this list (in fact, Dry Dry Desert from DD was confirmed and NOT on your list) and they will probably do something like this: Shell Cup DS - Figure 8 Circuit GBA - Ribbon Road 3DS - Cheep Cheep Lagoon SNES - Ghost Valley 3 Wii - Toad's Factory Banana Cup GCN - Dry Dry Desert GBA - Cheese Land SNES - Vanilla Lake 1 Wii - DK Summit 3DS - Piranha Plant Slide Leaf Cup DS - Tick Tock Clock 3DS - Music Park N64 - Yoshi Valley Wii - Grumble Volcano GCN - Bowser's Castle Lightning Cup GCN - Wario Colisseum 3DS - Rosalina's Ice World DS - Bowser Castle Wii - Bowser's Castle N64 - Rainbow Road I decided to put 5 circuits on each cup since they should try to put 20 circuits just like in SNES or GBA, so they would never run out of tracks and despite not a favorite, Figure 8 is obvious, since it is shaped like the game's title

sounds like a good change to me, I really enjoyed the Wii Bowser Castle! And I'd honestly be surprised if they don't add the N64 Rainbow Road

Thanks

is a beast, love that dude.

especially in Mirror mode!

that would piss a lot of people off, having the same track in 3 different games

phew, that's a hard question Alex! I gotta admit, each game pushes a better and better rainbow road, so I'm going to have to go with Mario Kart 7's!

He was replying to spam; I don't blame him.

I feel like Wario Colosseum would have been a good track to include. They could have done a lot with the anti-grav

Correct: 4/16 Wrong: 12/16 Later added as DLC: 2/12 (GBA Ribbon Road & GBA Cheese Land.) 75+% Correct: 2/4 (3DS Piranah Plant Slide & N64 Rainbow Road in the Lightning Cup, the final cup of the game.) 100% Correct: 1/4 (N64 Rainbow Road as the final race of the Lightning Cup & the final race of the entire game.)

I’m from the future and I will tell you what the actual tracks are Mushroom Cup Mario Kart Stadium Water Park Sweet Sweet Canyon Thwomp Ruins Flower Cup Mario Circuit Toad Harbour Twisted Mansion Shy Guy Falls Star Cup Sunshine Airport Dolphin Shoals Electrodome Mount Wario Special Cup Cloudtop Cruise Bone Dry Dunes Bowser’s Castle Rainbow Road Shell Cup Wii Moo Moo Meadows GBA Mario Circuit DS Cheep Cheep Beach N64 Toad’s Turnpike Banana Cup GCN Dry Dry Desert SNES Donut Plains 3 N64 Royal Raceway 3DS DK Jungle Leaf Cup DS Wario Stadium GCN Sherbet Land 3DS Music Park N64 Yoshi Valley Lightning Cup DS Tick Tock Clock 3DS Piranha Plant Slide Wii Grumble Volcano N64 Rainbow Road

Wow i remember this it’s been years since I’ve seen this video ever since before Mario kart 8 came out on the Wii U

I'm just expressing an opinion...I'd rather do that then accept getting force fisted a yearly 2D Mario game with nothing new about it.

Mario Kart 8: SNES: 9/20 N64: 15/16 GBA: 8/20 Gamecube: 12/16 DS: 11/16 Wii: 6/16 3DS: 3/16

Hey man I remember watching a video of you and how the "Tick Tock Clock" track was created. Which video was it again? Can't really find it

koopa cape is in mario kart 7 as a retro stage.

I like how all of his picks for the banana cup are now in/will be in.

I do love that one, but again this list is really based off of consistency

thanks!

3DS Music Park, 3DS Neo Bowser City, GCN Dry Dry Desert, Wii DK Summit, N64 Rainbow Road, DS Tick Tock Clock, GBA Ribbon Road, GCN Bowser's Castle, 3DS Maka Wuhu, SNES Vanilla Lake 2, SNES Bowser Castle 4, N64 Yoshi Valley, Wii Daisy Circuit, GBA Riverside Park, GCN Wario Colosseum, 3DS Rock, Rock Mountain, 3DS Rosalina's Ice World, Wii Toad's Factory, Wii Grumble Volcano, GBA Cheese Land

Also you added my 3 fav GBA tracks! XD I know the game is out but i don't care! I love ur vids

consistency is why

wouldn't be awesome to have a cup with all the rainbow roads in it?

10/16 of these tracks are in Mario Kart 8 now!!

that would be excellent actually!

I'm pretty sure it was Donut Plains 1..I used Wikipedia to make sure I didn't add a repeat

will found out soon if it has that rainbow road, nintendo announced today they are showing off a trailer for the wii u game!

All right, this is that new cup I told you about. I call it the Bob-omb Cup. So you know that there are five tracks dedicated to Wario, and not one has been used as a Retro Track yet? Well, here are the tracks for the Bob-omb Cup. 3Ds Wario Shipyard, Wii Wario's Gold Mine, N64 Wario Stadium and Gcn Wario Colosseum.

couldn't you mute your tv?

I actually never realized that, good eye Die2Distory. I would probably have put that in there instead of Donut Plains 2 had I had known that.

Aight, awesome video, especially for 2012.

There's no specific day of the month, but it will be sometime this month!

N64 Rainbow Road was the most accurate Prediction, It's the Final Track in the whole game (16th Retro Track.), as seen here.

New track ideas huh? Well I sure can try, it may be awhile before I get to that but I'll go for it, and thanks!

but luigi circuit is for the wii, not ds. and your welcome!!

Here are my retro course predictions for Mario Kart U ( each in order) Shell cup: DS Figure-8 Circuit, 3DS Daisy Hills, SNES Ghost Valley 1, and GCN Dry Dry Dry Desert Banana cup: SNES Choco Island 1, GBA Boo Lake, Wii DK Summit, and 3DS Rock Rock Moutain Leaf cup: SNES Koopa Beach 1, GBA Ribbon Road, 3DS Neo Bowesr City, and Wii Grumble Volcano Lightning cup: SNES Donut Plains 3, N64 Yoshi Valley, GBA Bowsr Castle 4, and 3DS Rainbow Road. I loved your video

great list! And thanks!

was in mario kart wii

if you look closely at the mario kart 8 trailer, you see very clear footage of Piranha Plant Slide and Music Park

*love

Great job successfully predicting Music Park and Piranna Plant slide! But GCN dry dry dessert is already confirmed, and I think it makes more sense for SNES Bowsers castle 2 rather than SNES donut plains 2 because we've already seen a donut plains in MKDS.

I got 2 right already XD those ones were honest, and my list probably won't get very more right, but I was basing it off of consistency and not popularity.

sadly, I doubt they will use more than 2 or 3 2D courses, because most people don't remember them as fondly as the other ones. Plus, they are harder to use for the mechanics they add, like the gravity thing with Mario Kart 8

well the GBA version had all the SNES tracks as a bonus, I don't think any other game will do that. And yes that would be epic!!

All right, this is the new Retro Cup I wanted to tell you about, the Bob-omb Cup. 3Ds Wario Shipyard, Wii Wario's Gold Mine, N64 Wario Stadium, Gcn Wario Colosseum.

There had better not be just five new characters! >:(

Out of the 16 tracks on your list, you predicted 6/16 tracks.

I suggest that Nintendo adds "track-pack to the Wii U's eShop along with a downloadable track builder where you can make your own wild creations.

GCN Dry Dry Desert,3DS Music Park and 3DS Piranna Plant Slide are confirm to be retro track in Mario Kart 8

I would lose those characters, especially kamek!!

I don't know if we should believe in fantendo, but they said these are the new nitro tracks: Mushroom Cup - Birdo Circuit Xananab Ruins Cheep Cheep River Cookie Courtyard Lakitu Stadium Flower Cup - Wiggler Grove Pianta Palms Honeyhive Circuit Sledge Bro Pier Yoshi City Star Cup - Alpine Temple Diddy Park Rocket Reef Supermassive Sprint Koopa Loop Special Cup - Baby Mario Palace Chompworks Sea Koopa Assault-Course Bowser's Castle Rainbow Road

N64 Rainbow Road was completely correct!

TOADS TURNPIKE that one's my favorite

looking throughout Mario Kart DS, Wii, and 7, courses are placed in weird spots in those games as well. I didn't find the order to be that big of a deal because nintendo doesn't either.

I agree with Bannana cup the most. If they want to make n64 rainbow road for Wii U then u should do 2 things. 1. Make the course size smaller. 2. Trick it out with item's ramps shortcuts, do all that stuff.

thanks! And I didn't even think about that..that would help balance it out a lot more that way, but I don't think they will do that because they would have to make more new tracks and they wouldn't do that :/

I think Toads factory will be in the game. I also think the game will have 96 tracks
