Predicting Mario Kart X!! Part 1: Retro Tracks 

"Albert Boring! You're setting yourself up for failure." I loved that ending.

Really hope we get double dash courses that haven't been remade yet like wario coliseum, Bowser's castle and rainbow road

Time for peak content

7:37 *what* had me dying lmao

If we’re handing out ideas for nitros, I have 24 concepts myself, but my favorite one is as follows - KOOPA GOLF - In a similar vein to ribbon road, you would be tiny in comparison to the track, about the size of a golf ball. Fitting for the golf track, isn’t it? As the name implies, you would be driving through a bowser-themed mini golf course. Like real mini golf courses, there would be tons of alternate routes, shortcuts, and koopa theming left and right. It would also be a sectioned track that ends with the “final challenge” some mini golf courses have. Maybe every Koopaling could have their own themed hole?

I love your little mii animations, they are so charming.

Personally, I think we would get more tracks than what you've suggested, maybe 48 so it's as much as original MK8D We might also get reverse and/or trick variants to add more variety and replayability Because of certains patterns from past MK, we might get our last SNES Mario circuit and GBA Bowser castle (since we've got one of each in DS, Wii and 7, even if 8 didn't have one or the other until the BCP). Another pattern is the RRs since 3DS (SNES for 7, N64 for 8 so maybe GBA for 9). Seeing that you've taken into account those 2 patterns and the good balance between first-time and returning retros, I think that's a really good selection, well done !

Great video! My idea was to have 24 retros with 2 new cups: Bell and Golden Dash My predictions/wishlist: Shell Cup: • DS Figure 8 Circuit • SNES Koopa Beach 1 • 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar • Wii Toad's Factory Bell Cup: • U Sweet Sweet Canyon • GBA Cheep Cheep Island • GCN Mario Circuit • DS Delfino Square Banana Cup: • SNES Mario Circuit 4 • N64 Sherbet Land • U Sunshine Airport • Tour Yoshi's Island Leaf Cup: • N64 Wario Stadium • GCN Mushroom City • GBA Lakeside Park • Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Golden Dash Cup: • SNES Ghost Valley 3 • N64 DK's Jungle Parkway • Tour Vancouver Velocity • 3DS Maka Wuhu Lightning Cup: • Wii Dry Dry Ruins • U Cloudtop Cruise • GCN Bowser Castle • GBA Rainbow Road

Nitro Course idea: Luma Library. This would take place in a massive library with some anti gravity sections, and would be set in a night/space setting. Maybe Luma could even be a new character.

My Predictions: Shell Cup: DS Figure-8 Circuit SNES Mario Circuit 4 Wii U Sweet Sweet Canyon Wii Toad's Factory Banana Cup: 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar GBA Lakeside Park N64 Wario Stadium Wii U Shy Guy Falls Leaf Cup: SNES Vanilla Lake 2 GCN Mushroom City Wii Dry Dry Ruins Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Lightning Cup: GCN Wario Colosseum 3DS Maka Wuhu DS Bowser's Castle GBA Rainbow Road

Yo duuude I too remember watching Nathaniel Bandy's (and possibly others') Mario Kart 9 predictions as a kid! I always loved that and it's so cool to see that people like you continue to do that nowadays :D

The man, the myth, the legend, Albert Boris makes his return after a long 2 months

CONGRATS FOR THE 7K SUBS!

Been waiting for this one Albert 😁

0:50 yeahhhh!!!! Nathaniel Bandy!!! I have the exact same point as you! His prediction videos got me into prediction videos and making my own 😂 love this video btw!

Solid varied selection, I would be very happy with this

Imagine if N64 Koopa Troopa Beach appears in the next Mario kart game and you can see Sunshine Airport in the distance like in Mario Kart 8.

I’m personally a 6 cup believer, but these choices were all pretty good. Interesting that you included the RMX courses. Most people (myself included) seem to just leave them out. I considered using them in my own picks in place of the original snes courses but decided not to.

My cup predictions. I did NOT include any NON-nitro tracks that already had a turn in 8DX. This is because I think we should prioritize at least fan favorites (like Airship Fortress) that missed out on 8DX, and give THOSE a change to for once return on a HD TV console game. MKX CAN have a booster course pass adding an additional 48 tracks, with some included in 8DX’s base game and DLC, but in the meantime I predicting the traditional 8 cups with 4 all nitro and 4 all retro, and then 4 bonus cups with extra retros as well as Tour’s tracks (such as Piranha Plant Pipeline). Mushroom Cup: 1. Mario Circuit - For once, Mario Circuit is the introductory track, and isn’t too boring 2. Yoshi Forest - An enchanted forest with some interesting features 3. Baby Dollhouse - A giant dollhouse, or the players are super tiny 4. Falling Farm - A farm track in autumn Flower Cup: 1. DK Canyon (2 laps) - Another DK course, only this one is a desert canyon, as well as possibly a snowy summit. Partly inspired by Zelda: Breath Of The Wild’s Gerudo Canyon and/or Highlands 2. Tumble Temple - A ruined temple that’s falling apart 3. Goomba Factory - A factory that creates Bowser’s enemies, such as goombas 4. Super Galaxy (3 sections) - Finally, a track based off the Super Mario Galaxy franchise, as fans have been begging for Star Cup: 1. Giant Garden - A garden in a dome 2. Wild Wasteland - A giant desolate wasteland where civilization has once fallen into apocalypse. Like Bone Dry Dunes, but with former civilization also included instead of just desert itself 3. Waluigi Warehouse - Our third Waluigi track in the series, and a giant warehouse to race in 4. Koopa Troopa Cove (2 laps) - A pirate’s cove themed around koopas Special Cup: 1. Ice Ice Tunnels (3 sections) - A track that mostly takes place inside ice caves and tunnels, then the ending of the track is exiting the cave before reaching the finish line 2. Mushroom Mountain - A much better version of Mushroom Gorge, not that it wasn’t good to begin with. More mushrooms to bounce on, higher difficulty, and far more intensified music 3. Bowser’s Castle - This one Bowser’s Castle track is shaped like Bowser’s face 4. Rainbow Road (2 laps) - Just another Rainbow Road, this one is connected to the surface (not accessible), and has more than just a rainbow road Shell Cup: 1. N64 Luigi Raceway 2. DS Delfino Square 3. 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar 4. Wii Toad’s Factory Banana Cup: 1. SNES Choco Island 1 (with a significant revamp) 2. U Sunshine Airport 3. N64 Frappe Snowland 4. DS Luigi’s Mansion Leaf Cup: 1. DS DK Pass 2. GBA Cheep Cheep Island 3. SNES Mario Circuit 4 (with a significant revamp) (butcher it a little so it’s not as long) 4. GCN Wario Coliseum (2 laps) Lightning Cup: 1. U Dragon Driftway 2. 3DS Maka Wuhu (3 sections) 3. GBA Bowser’s Castle 4 (2 laps) 4. GCN Rainbow Road (2 laps) Bonus Cup 1: 1. Tour Ninja Hideaway 2. 3DS Mario Circuit 3. N64 Koopa Troopa Beach 4. U Thwomp Ruins Bonus Cup 2: 1. Tour Squeaky Clean Sprint OR Merry Mountain 2. 3DS Wario Shipyard 3. GBA Lakeside Park 4. U Shy Guy Falls Bonus Cup 3: 1. Tour Yoshi’s Island 2. Wii Dry Dry Ruins 3. GCN Mushroom City 4. DS Airship Fortress Bonus Cup 4: 1. Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline 2. GCN Dino Dino Jungle 3. U Bowser’s Castle 4. GBA Rainbow Road

Shell cup: GCN Luigi circuit, Wii U toads harbour, 3DS Shy guy bazar and Wii toads factory. Banana: SNES Mario circuit 4, N64 Frappe Snowland, DS Delfino Square and 3DS Wuhu island loop. Leaf: Wii Dry dry ruins, GBA Cheap cheap island, DS Airship fortress and Wii U mount wario. Lightning: Switch Yoshi’s island, GCN Wario coliseum, N64 Bowsers castle and 3DS Rainbow road (I want this track remade 1000 times)

Ayy your back! Also nice predictions, although I think they might go for 48 tracks again for the next Mario kart game because I think that’s gonna be the new standard.

Imagine a crossover track based on Area Zero from Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. How epic would it be. Maybe it could be the penultimate track in a DLC, just before the obligatory Rainbow Road.

Good to see you back!

I personally have given a lot of thought to the retro tracks for Mario Kart 9 so here’s my list: My Rules - No Repeat Retros (Not counting Super Circuit's SNES tracks or any retros in Tour) - Certain tracks must be included - At least one Circuit Track - At least one Bowser's Castle (Not Counting SNES or GBA) - At least one Rainbow Road - Piranha Plant Pipeline from Tour - No Cup can double dip on one game (I.e. Leaf Cup can't have two DS tracks) - One Battle Course from from every game included in the bottom Shell Cup 1. DS Figure-8 Circuit 2. SNES Koopa Beach 1 3. Wii U Sweet Sweet Canyon 4. Wii Toad's Factory Banana Cup 5. 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar 6. GBA Cheep-Cheep Island 7. Wii U Sunshine Airport 8. N64 Wario Stadium Leaf Cup 9. Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline 10. Wii U Electrodrome 11. GCN Mushroom City 12. 3DS Maka Wuhu Lightning Cup 13. Wii Dry Dry Ruins 14. GCN Wario Colosseum 15. DS Bowser Castle 16. GBA Rainbow Road Battle Courses 1. SNES Battle Course 3 2. N64 Double Deck 3. GBA Battle Course 4 4. GCN Block City 5. DS Nintendo DS 6. Wii Funky Stadium 7. 3DS Honeybee Hive 8. NS Lunar Colony 9. Tour New York Minute B

Since ur most likely gonna talk about the Nitro Tracks, I gotta throw this idea in here bc it's my most wanted track design: Imagine a mix of 2 classics: the layout of a Bowser's Castle, but the vibe of a Rainbow Road. How do you make it unique? By calling it: *Crayon Palace* It'd be a large palace built entirely out of Crayons & art supplies, with the oil slick puddles being made out of melted Crayon Wax, & it'd be tricky to maneuver. It'd have lots of Eraser ramps, paint puddles as stated earlier, heck, why not make a glider/cannon section where the actual cannon is a Paint Bucket Nintendo, hire me already 💀

Nice to see you back!

Prediction for N64 Wario Stadium Glowup: Track starts off in a mud road like the original, but the long straightaways in the track will be cut in half so 2 seconds in you take a left turn, there, then will be a jump over a poison lake and instead of the weird s turns after the 2 straightaways, it will just be a square turn then a short straightaway to the iconic bumpy spaced out road that interferes next to the start, then that long straightaway will be elevated by a lot, if anti gravity returns, then there will be a cannon that flies you up to the moon then a quick turn back down with turns and a wigglers to watch over

Tracks that I really want to come back: (FYI, I put at least 1 track from every non-arcade Mario Kart game here, and while I sorted them by game, they are in no particular order. And if there's an "*" next to the name, then I _REALLY_ want it.) - SNES Ghost Valley 3 - N64 Wario Stadium - N64 Banshee Boardwalk - N64 Frappe Snowland - N64 Bowser's Castle - N64 DK's Jungle Parkway - GBA Bowser Castle 4 * - GBA Lakeside Park - GBA Rainbow Road * - GBA Sunset Wilds (Only If the sunset will be added) - GBA Sky Garden* (Only if it's proper remake this time) - GCN Mario Circuit - GCN Rainbow Road * - GCN Bowser's Castle * - GCN Mushroom Bridge - GCN Mushroom City * - GCN Wario Colosseum * - DS Delfino Square - DS Airship Fortress * (If this one doesn't make it, I'm probably going to have to scream into a pillow. It's not my most requested course, but all of the other tracks I want have great alternatives.) - DS Luigi's Mansion - Wii Toad's Factory - Wii Bowser's Castle* - 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar* - 3DS Wario Shipyard* - 3DS Bowser's Castle - WiiU Eletrodrome - WiiU Cloudtop Cruise - WiiU Shy Guy Falls - (Tour) Pirahnna Plant Pipeline (Even if it is considered a nitro, which, I'm kind of hoping it is. It'll free up a retro slot for a big fan favorite.)

Mario Kart Tour's GBA Peach Circuit always gave me some serious Booster Course Pass vibes. That road looks like it was made with antigravity in mind! I'm hoping we see it in the next Mario Kart! I just want all of the GBA remakes from Tour to make a comeback. I don't want them to be stuck in limbo forever. 😭

Already 2 months? Jeez...... Time flies man...... Awesome video! :D

I really like your choises for the retro's and I can see it happening, but one question: Was that loud siren at 13:33 really necessary?

So, imma send my predicts right here. Before that I explain 1 perticular thing, being that I wont include tracks from WiiU/NS in it. The Reason why I wont include these is simple, they are already perfect in the way they are and I dont see any point from them to be changed in a new way. I mean they are already in a perfect graphical stand, unlike other courses from previous gens wich lack of up to date graphics. Including WiiU/NS tracks would therefore be very filler. Also in my predicts I will include 6 Retro Cups unlike your 5 Cups. Also I will include Retro Tracks, that were already remaked. Since the BCP had the chance to finish of the entirety of MK with remaking every retro track and didnt, because of including tracks that were already remaked. I thing this pattern will cover the next MK aswell. Shell Cup: DS: Figure 8 Circuit SNES: Vanilla Lake 2 N64: Koopa Troopa Beach 3DS: Shy Guy Bazaar Banana Cup: GCN: Mushroom City GBA: Yoshi Desert Wii: Toad's Factory 3DS: Wuhu Loop Leaf Cup: N64: Frappé Snowland GBA: Lakeside Park DS: Delfino Square GCN: Wario Colosseum Lightning Cup: Wii: Dry Dry Ruins GBA: Luigi Circuit 3DS: Maka Wuhu N64: Bowser's Castle Bullet Bill Cup: 3DS: Mario Circuit GBA: Broken Pier GCN: Dino Dino Jungle DS: Airship Fortress Blue Shell Cup: N64: Wario Stadium DS: DK Pass Wii: Bowser's Castle GCN: Rainbow Road

I hope the next game is much more chaotic. It's what made Mario kart more fun. What I hope returns is the thundercloud, the question box item, double items, giant mushroom, special character items, and all of the items from kart 8. And maybe the return of the option to change the number of laps.

Here's a nitro track: Poochy Park. You drive around a dog park made out of yarn, there's a chain chomp, a fountain, and trees that drop fruit when hit.

lol the Nathaniel Bandy clips 😂 valid tho his predicting mk9 series is iconic

7:14 The fact that this cup between Flower Cup and Star Cup will be the Elephant Cup clearly means there is gonna be a Super Mario Bros. Wonder themed track in the nitro video.

YO you finally uploaded!! I miss you bro

If we don't get Piranha Plant Pipeline in the next game, then Nintendo officially hates creative courses.

Your list is quite satisfying, you did a good job opening the cups strong, even though I feel using both Wuhu tracks in one game screws future games. Here are my predictions/wishlist, with an explanation on why they're weird: (Edit: I know it looks long, but it's because every track name is its own row and there are a lot of tracks) I made this wishlist back in September. It's full of copium, but if you allow for two things it's okay. Like Nintendo did for wave 6, it had Rosalina's Ice World and not PPPL because I had assumed the BCP would do the opposite (if "Pipeline" made it in, it'd be a shame to use it right away again). I tried to rearrange it swap that, but a few things are now a bit more awkward. You'll need to allow two chunks of copium: 1) Like you, I assumed it would be difficult to return to 32 courses, and I took it much farther: my prediction has 8 retro cups in 2 rows, where the 2nd retro line is locked behind the star + leaf cups combined (game has more tracks without having to invent more layouts). I get to hide more fan favourites and get a greater range of difficulty, but I have a few BCP repeats. 2) I added arcade tracks! Only in my copium row as a 'surprise', but still copium! However, I picked layouts I thought could be reworked to be playable on console (think how Tour treated some GBA tracks). So: Shell: DS Yoshi Falls (Underwhelming but still fun; there's 32 tracks I'm sorry) RMX Choco Island 2 (I counted Tour's cities, nitros, and RMX separately and then tried to be balanced in distribution by game) 3DS Daisy Hills [Mob] Sky High Sundae Banana: NWU Thwomp Ruins Tour Tokyo Blur 4 (This one has big potential as a 3 lapper if they add a glide-over-bridge like Toad Circuit, and an antigrav wall on the highway) SNES Koopa Beach 1 GBA Boo Lake (I know this is a repeat) Leaf: DS DK Pass Wii Dry Dry Ruins GCN Mushroom City 3DS Maka Wuhu Lightning: N64 Banshee Boardwalk GBA Lakeside Park NWU Cloudtop Cruise GCN Bowser's Castle (Wii ended on a BC so it's okay) If I only had 16 tracks they definitely wouldn't be the above. Egg: Tour Paris Promenade [#?] (Laps 1/2 in 8DX are a great combination for a 3-lapper) 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar RMX Mario Circuit 1 Wii Toad's Factory Heart: Wii Daisy Circuit (This was before wave 6 was revealed and I didn't bother to fix this as of now) DS Delfino Square ACGP Snow Panic (The CT sold me) [Mob] Piranha Plant Pipeplantsomething (No longer deferred) Bell: SNES Vanilla Lake 1 Tour Los Angeles Laps (I'm against lap switching in cases like Berlin, but they can make the loop work here) GCN Wario Colosseum GPDX Bowser's Castle (Just shorten all the straightaways and add antigrav if it stays for the next game) Moon: GPDX DK Jungle (Same case as BC) NWU Dragon Driftway N64 Wario Stadium GBA Rainbow Road (Any two points are collinear which means we're getting GBA RR next game fs >:P) That's all! I had to save some good tracks for the game after this one as I had initially done for "Pipeline" (BC4, Shipyard/Galleon, 8's Star Cup, Subway, Ninja Hideaway, et al.) Also Luigi gets nothing again, so in this scenario he'd better get a nitro... Thanks for reading and for the entertaining video! At 1:12/15:03 he sounds so smug, you got me laughing hard.

Prediction for a SNES Mario Circuit 4 Glowup! Track starts off next to crowds, then there’s a chain chomp to watch out for, then maybe, just maybe, in that 180 degree turn in the beginning there will be a bowser ship that drops explosive cannons to watch over, there will be tons of cannon that by lap 3, the track turns into a lava course and parts of the concrete in the road will form as lava to watch over, but the end of the track there will be a little mushroom town and go back to the start!

3:34 BOSTON BUILDING!?

Here are 6 retro tracks from past Mario Kart game that could be in a hypothetical first wave of DLC for Mario Kart 9, dedicated to new city tracks, mainline game retros & some Tour retros: -N64 Moo Moo Farm (it could be the starter track of the DLC and get a significant glow-up) -RMX Vanilla Lake 2 (the best Tour RMX track, hands down) -DS Delfino Square (it could maybe use a backwards lap, or even antigravity) -Tour Warp Pipe Canyon (imagine if we could do loop-de-loops around the pipes with antigravity!) -Wii U Dragon Driftway (it could use a glow-up based on the 4 elements) -GBA Bowser Castle 4 (if it uses all the features added since Super Circuit, including gliders, antigravity, underwater driving, halfpipes, tricking, or maybe even changing laps, it may be the best Bowser Castle track ever, even outdoing N64 Bowser's Castle!)

Nice one

Also really weird suggestion when you do Battle Tracks, but I feel Figure-8 Circuit works better there than as a Nitro Course… I mean imagine if they add Ramps and Boost Panels to it,

6:56 I literally had that same prediction lol I predicted that the Bell Cup was going to be going to be transformed into a retro cup lol

My Predictons: Shell Cup: Wii Luigi Circuit 3DS Daisy Hills WiiU Sweet Sweet Canyon SNES Bowser Castle 1 Banana Cup: 3DS Shy Guy Bazar Wii Toads Factory WiiU Twisted Mansion N64 Wario Stadium Leaf Cup: SNES Mario Circuit 4 GCN Mushroom City DS Airship Fortress WiiU Mount Wario Lightning Cup: Wii Dry Dry Ruins WiiU Clouddrop-Cruise GCN Bowsers Castle GBA Rainbow Road Egg Cup: GBA Yoshi Desert Nitro Course 1 Nitro Course 2 Sand Ocean Shine Cup: GCN Mushroom Bridge DS Delfino Square Nitro Course 3 Crossover Course 1 Bell Cup: GBA Lakeside Park WiiU Super Bell Subway Nitro Course 4 Crossover Course 2 Spiny Cup: GCN Wario Colosseum SNES Ghost Valley 3 Nitro Course 5 Fire Field

Here's My Predictions: Shell Cup: 3DS Mario Circuit N64 Wario Stadium SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 1 Wii Toad's Factory Banana Cup: GBA Broken Pier GCN Wario Colosseum SNES Mario Circuit 4 Wii U Bone-Dry Ruins Blooper Cup: Wii Dry Dry Ruins GCN Bowser's Castle 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Leaf Cup: DS Figure-8 Circuit GCN Mushroom City SNES Bowser Castle 2 Wii U Twisted Mansion Lightning Cup: Wii U Sunshine Airport N64 Banshee Boardwalk DS Bowser Castle GBA Rainbow Road

Not even two minutes in and I can tell this is peak content😎

My retro track predictions Shell Cup: DS Figure 8 Circuit 3DS Daisy Hills Wii U Sweet Sweet Canyon Wii Toad's Factory Banana Cup: 3DS Mario Circuit SNES Koopa Beach 1 Wii U Twisted Mansion GBA Yoshi Desert Bell Cup: N64 Wario Stadium SNES Vanilla Lake 2 Wii U Sunshine Airport GBA Lakeside Park Leaf Cup: GCN Wario Coloseum Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Wii U Electrodrome Wii Dry Dry Ruins Lightning Cup: Wii U Cloudtop Cruise SNES Ghost Valley 3 GCN Bowser's Castle GBA Rainbow Road

YOU KNOW ITS GONNA BE A GOOD DAY WHEN ALBERT UPLOADS!!!!!!!!!

Where did you find the render in the thumbnail?

I'd either have a format of 6 sets of retros (4 base then 2 unlockable) or have one cup of retros from each previous game + the BCP (10 in total including Tour as well) then have a Bowser Cup for Bowser's Castles and a finale of a Rainbow Cup. I won't put my exact lists cos that would take ages to type but those are my 2 hypotheses

Those are awesome predictions! I like all of the choices except DS Luigi's Mansion because I don't really like this track, but still, there are other tracks that are awesome!

I could definitely see a DLC with a first wave that includes Tour retros & new city tracks (with Pipeline and the RMX tracks) then a second wave that includes Arcade GP tracks.

After all these years, the best Bowser’s Castle (DS Bowser’s castle) still hasn’t made a return. Edit: Props to your guest for including it.

I've seen that Prediction video with the Daisy Hills clip. It was a really good one! Although GBA Cheese Land appeared in there if I remember correctly? And that was in Wii U MK8's DLC, so...

IMO, Shy Guy Bazaar’s atmosphere and music are more fitting for a final track than a beginning track.

My wish is that the gimmick is dynamic tracks. Having new routes and new road hazards open up throughout the race - similar to many Booster Course tracks. This could justify bringing back retro tracks we've seen many times. It also fits perfectly for tracks which have never been remade. Mushroom City and Broken Pier come to mind. You could also bring back boring tracks and finally make them worth a remake. Imagine DS Figure 8 Circuit being the opening track with each lap adding more road obstacles to mix things up and introduce the gimmick.

Im curious uf you’ll do the DLC predictions?

I would choose 2 snes: Koopa beach 1 and bowser castle 2, 1 n64: wario stadium 2 gba: broken pier and rainbow road 2 gcn: mushroom city and wario colosseum, 2 ds: figure 8 circuit and bowser castle 2 Wii: Luigi’s circuit and Toad’s factory 1 3ds: Wuhu loop 3 U: Electrodrome, Dragon driftway, and Cloudtop cruise 1 Tour: Pirahna plant pipeline

surely we will need more cups for the next game because there are more games now. But I think breaking the classic four retro cups (and by an extend, the nitros) is a bad idea. The best outcome possible is (in my opinion) having 4 new cups in the style of the original MK8 DLC, being a mix of nitros and retros

10:10 What is the music you used here?

Here's my Mario Kart X Retro courses prediction Shell Cup - Wii Luigi Circuit - SNES Choco Island 1 - U Toad Harbor - N64 Wario Stadium Banana Cup - DS Yoshi Falls - 3DS Wuhu Loop - GBA Yoshi Desert - Wii Toad's Factory Blooper Cup - DS Airship Fortress - N64 Banshee Boardwalk - 3DS Mario Circuit - GCN Mushroom City Leaf Cup - U Electrodom - 3DS Shy Guy Bizarre - Wii Desert Hills - SNES Vinalla Lake 2 Lightning Cup - 3DS Wario Shipwreck - GCN Wario Colosseum - Wii Bowser Castle - DS Rainbow Road.

8:54 pauline dies (real)

Here are 4 retro tracks from past Mario Kart games that could be in a hypothetical third and last wave of the MK9 DLC, dedicated to nitros, other retros, and some crossover tracks: -3DS Mario Circuit 🏎️ (It’s one of the better circuit tracks in the franchise, so with a good improvement, it could be a great starter course for this wave!) -SNES Ghost Valley 3 👻 (even if it could clash with Banshee Boardwalk, you could change it by making us race on a rocky road instead of a board. Maybe it could have some poison lakes as well!) Wii Maple Treeway 🍁 (even if it was remade back in the BCP, it could use some changes. Maybe an underwater section or even an antigravity section? Also, PLEASE BRING BACK THE SHAKING BRIDGE) GCN Dino Dino Jungle 🦕 (I think this track got robbed from not being in the BCP, but honestly, it gives it a big potential for a better remake here! The bridge section could be antigravity, we could submerge the cave, there could be a dinosaur stampede in the final lap, and why not adding more split paths!) And for a little bonus: DX Rainbow Road 🌈 (Even if it’s fan made, I had to count it. It would be really cool if Nintendo caps off the game with a track like this!)

GBA Bowser’s Castle 4 Prediction: maybe the track can be 3 laps if scaled smaller but, how bout lap 1-2 the track has weapons and bombs in the castle, then maybe lap 3 the track blows up and geysers and other enemy’s summons by the bowser ship that also throws bombs in the track, it can make for one of the best remakes in Mario kart history

That thumbnail looks sick

i have an idea for a new mario karts rainbow road: you are driving through a nebula, i would also like a section where there is a massive curved section where you drive around a black hole

13:34 my volume was up with earbuds im and my heart skipped a beat. Dang you, Boris.....

One thing I think they're going to do with gba rainbow road is replace the floating paper mario castle with Castle Bowser from mario wonder

I actually have had thoughts it'd be cool if they changed things to have 6 cups of nitro and retro to bring the Egg, Golden Dash, Super Bell and Spiny Cups with Egg being after Flower and Golden Dash right after as the intro to harder nitros (a literal harder Mushroom cup in a way) with Super Bell being after Leaf and Spiny being the final retro cup similar to the BCP

Personally, I still believe the next game's course selection will remain at 32 (16 Nitro + 16 Retro) because a new base game MK is completely different from 8DX which is a port with its original DLC included, on top of having the BCP, another form of DLC. I do think the RMX concept from MKT was actually sort of a testing ground to see how they can bring new life into returning retros. For instance, N64 only has WS left, and after it's remade, they won't have anything else, opening up the opportunity to remix its courses like RMX N64 Banshee Boardwalk. Regardless, glad to hear your thoughts on the next MK and I'm excited for more!

So… now that the retro track predictions are out of the way… I’m assuming there’s gonna be a video for the battle mode maps at some point too?👀👀

7:14 Why do you have the Elephant Cup up there when it should clearly be the 1-UP Cup?

I disagree with a lot of the rules and specific picks used in this video, but all is forgiven thanks to you being the only person other than me to pick Super Bell Subway as the opener of the Lightning Cup

I honestly hope the stuff from 8 & 8 Deluxe don't come back until at least Mario Kart 11. Not only would I like to see new retro couses, but I'm particularly sick of the courses that were on the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8. We got TWO releases back to back with the same 48 courses. That is a big reason that for me personally, the Booster Course Pass was so exciting.

Nice video, but you left out that the "Crazy 8" item for Mario Kart X will probably be called the "X-Factor".

I think if Piranha Plant Pipeline is in the next Mario Kart game that it'll probably be saved for DLC

Wuhu Island Is a s tier for me and a great pick for nintendo to choose in Mario Kart 10 and amazing and some of these predictions are like mine but i agree with you Albert Boris

Here are my selection. I went for 5 cups, and whatever is on parentheses is the "wonder effect" I think the course will have on the last lap (and if it's a section track, then every lap will change): Shell Cup: • GCN Luigi Circuit (rain) • SNES Vanilla Lake (hail + snow man) • NSW Sweet Sweet Canyon (flooding "water") • 3DS Wuhu Loop (day➡️sunset➡️night) Banana Cup: • GCN Mushroom Bridge (angry Wigglers) •DS Delfino Square (reverse) • Wii Toad's Factory (crazy factory) • GBA Bowser Castle (RMX➡️bc2➡️bc3) Leaf Cup: • 3DS Mario Circuit (Piranha Plant parade) • SNES Ghost Valley 3 ("broken pier" lol) • Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline (PP infestation) • N64 Wario Stadium (normal➡️🤖➡️crazy🤖) Bell Cup: • Wii Dry Dry Ruins (night + Dry Bones) • GCN Mushroom City (angry Wigglers again) • DS Airship Fortress ("Shy Guy beach" lol) • NSW Big Blue (water↓➡️water↑➡️water crazy) Lightning Cup: • Tour Bangkok Rush (reverse) • N64 Jungle Parkway (it's raining bananas!) • GCN Bowser's Castle (castle on drugs) • GBA Rainbow Road (SkGrdn➡️BkPr➡️RnbRd)

I hope for 48 tracks to start with instead of 32 or 40 tracks.

I’d personally save Maka Wuhu, Luigi’s Mansion, and Airship Fortress for DLC since they would be a great way to market post game content. Loved your selections though!

Where are 3ds Wario shipyard, Wii Bowsers castle, GCN Dino dino jungle, 3ds rainbow road and ds delfino squere?

6:47 Ngl, you got me here X)

I would have to think that every non-remastered retro left in Tour will make it into the base game, of course along with a few extra that have been made evident. If we were to include the other remastered retros that didn't make it into 8DX; that would leave 48 retros (they have had and still have lots of time). If they don't add in the other remastered retros; then it would be left at 32 retros. It would actually be decent to see the entire base course capacity either doubled (most likely) or tripled.

I liked that intro lol

13:36 always gets me lol

I have a feeling that we're going to get 6 nitro and 6 retro cups instead of the traditional 4, since the drop in course numbers is going to be REALLY noticeable otherwise. That would mean that there would have to be 24 new courses as well as retros, but it would make the game feel more worth it.

So the retro tracks start and end with a GBA track. I honestly don't blame you for that though, since these are some amazing predictions!

You should totally replace dk parkway with the all-time favorite and hard but not too hard dino dino jungle. Other than that great to see you back making content and beloved prediction videos. (also nice going with 5 cups for retro and nitro witch matches the game title of mario kart 10, 10 cups and its the tenth game).

Considering that Wuhu Loop/Maka Wuhu was Datamined for Tour with two objects refering to thoes courses, i Know this Course has been Reserved for the Next Mario Game.

Nice predictions! If I could pick only 16 retros that never got remade or only got remade in tour, I’d pick: Shell Cup: Wii Luigi Circuit GBA Cheep Cheep Island Wii U Toad Harbor Tour Sky-High Sundae Banana Cup: 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar Wii U Sunshine Airport GCN Mushroom City Wii Toad’s Factory Leaf Cup: GBA Broken Pier SNES Mario Circuit 4 N64 Wario Stadium DS Bowser Castle Lightning Cup: Wii U Cloudtop Cruise Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline 3DS Maka Wuhu GCN Rainbow Road An interesting fact is that starting with Wii, the star cup finale from 2 games prior is the 3rd track of the lightning cup (dk mountain, airship fortress, grumble volcano), so I kinda hope the next mainline game continues that trend. Also, I’ve never been a fan of bowser’s castle and rainbow road being in the same cup because I always thought that it decreases track variety in the cup (hence why I don’t care for most special cups in double dash onward). So I would prefer to separate them, but that’s just my opinion.

This is my choices for Mario Kart X. Shell Cup: Moo Moo Farm, Luigi Circuit Wii, Peach Beach and Delfino Square. Banana Cup: Cheep Cheep Island, Sweet Sweet Canyon, Piranha Plant Pipeway and Mushroom Bridge. Leaf Cup: Both Vanilla Lakes courses as into one, Electrodrome, Wuhu Loop and Bowser Castle 4. Lightning Cup: Toad's Factory, Wario Stadium 64, Maka Wuhu and Rainbow Road DS.

I was thinking the exact same thing for MKX, having 20 nitros courses and 20 retros courses like in super circuit (besides the fact they were all from SMK). It's also crazy how we both are predicted strange courses like DK's Jungle Parkway and SNES Mario Circuit 4 (we're probably wrong).

I feel that one of the retro tracks should definitely be the Mt Wario cause... I think you know why. And also it's a snowy track which isn't very regular setting for the retro tracks so the only reason to not add it is a possible scrapping the antigravity feature to try smth new instead of it.

Here are my predictions for the retro tracks in Mario Kart 9. (Also I will be taking your idea of having an extra cup but I will also add in one extra track to the cups which makes 25 nitro and retro courses in total).

One thing we all know, Kevin Afghani will voice Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi in Mario Kart X, i highly doubt Nintendo will reuse old voice clips of Charles Martinet in Mario Kart X
