@@sfsports23 Pretty much saw Schafrillas too!! (Despite what he said about his dream in his video, I’m still calling it DS Luigi’s Mansion!! It’s better for me that way or else I’ll get confused in case I forget Boston Building!!)
MKDS Shell Cup: SNES Mario Circuit 1 (1st Course in SMK) N64 Moo Moo Farm (2nd Course in MK64) GBA Peach Circuit (1st Course in MKSC) GCN Luigi Circuit (1st Course in MKDD) I imagine they thought long and hard about those choices.
This felt like 4 minutes, how was it 24? You have such a nice way to pace your videos, achieved by excellent humor and great editing. Looking forward to the remaining three cups of this series
Toad's Turnpike is essentially Moonview Highway but... worse. Think of it as the difference between your mother and grandmother giving you candy. Your grandmother gets you the best type of candy in the world while your mother gives you the sh!t that you don't like... idk man I just felt like commenting 💀
Moonview Highway is in the BCP! If you want, instead of playing the shell cup, go and play VS race and pick Moonview Highway instead of Toad's Turnpike
They're literally the same though, MH just has better visuals and music. Both have a generic layout, and both have traffic that's so easy to avoid its like its not even there.
So I called Yoshi Falls "Yoshi Fell Off" in someone's stream last night (and credited the GOAT), and I think it's got potential to be as iconic as Boston Building
Finally back. I agree on Ghost valley 2 and Mario Raceway. Two tracks I enjoy playing on. I honestly home Mario Raceway returns in the next game with Ghost Valley 3
I like Mario Kart games but I still think the courses could have been a little better in Mario Kart DS, 7 and 8 so here’s my take on how the shell cup tracks in each game it could have been improved DS: SNES Mario Circuit 1 N64 Moo Moo Farm GBA Riverside Park GCN Baby Park 7: N64 Luigi Raceway DS Cheep Cheep Beach Wii Mushroom Gorge GBA Bowser Castle 1 8: Wii Moo Moo Farm GBA Peach Circuit (GBA Mario Circuit would have been scrapped and should have only reappear in Mario Kart Tour) 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon DS Luigi’s Mansion What are your thoughts
I honestly didn't care that the DS was partly 2D stuff (like the trees, pipes, backgrounds, etc). I was honestly blown away to be playing this on a handheld console. 5 years before I was playing a GameBoy Pocket in black and white, with manual batteries and no screen light.. To have a console, with 3D, a touch screen and INTERNET was hard to comprehend for me. I don't think anybody really cared if some bits were 2D. Mario Kart 64 had a lot more 2D stuff in it than Mario Kart DS. And in hind-sight the retro tracks were really bad, but at the time it was awesome to have 32 tracks, and I didn't have any expectations for what they chose. They couldn't get away with those retro tracks today, but at the time they were a big bonus, a big added extra to what we expected from Mario Kart, so most people were happy with them.
Honestly I'd say GCN Luigi Circuit is a downgrade because it feels like they made it way too large compared to the original. In Double Dash it was a lot smaller which facilitated more chaos, Baby Park in this game had the same issue.
Do you consider using a "Sidegrade!" rating for some retro tracks? You know when they feel different from the original but somehow have the same amount of upgrades and downgrades. 2:35 Look at that Dry Bones getting slipstream from Peach but not getting even close to passing by her lmao
My least favorite is 8DX’s Shell Cup I mean Wii Moo Moo Meadows is a decent track and I don’t mind playing on that, but man the 3 other tracks are so boring to play on, and the worst one tho is GBA MARIO CIRCUIT!!!! WHY IS THIS TRACK PICKED SOO MUCH IN ONLINE!!!! THIS TRACK SHOULDVE NEVER CAME ON HEREE!!!!! -10000/10 TRACK K- TIER 3. DS Shell Cup - Ok the only track that’s carrying this here is GCN Luigi Circuit, I love the idea where you bump into last place characters, but the other tracks are just mediocre 2. Wii Shell Cup - Ok we got not bad options here, I mean yes Ghost Valley is here but it’s the 2nd version and not the 1st version but it’s still a decent cup, Peach Beach is way too open of a track which i prefer it in GCN even tho I barely played Double Dash, DS Yoshi Falls is mediocre, but it’s better than DS with added trick ramps, because you gotta represent the Wii Era! Ghost Valley 2 I have nothing to say, Mario Raceway tho, I personally like this track, i like how you can go in the hill for a shortcut and going in the pipe but now we got a whole track based off that 27 years later! 1. 3DS Shell Cup - Ehh, AFTEE BANGERS AFTER BANGERSS, Luigi Raceway is an ok track, I like the vibe for some reason but I wish it can have something more to spice it, Bowser Castle 1 is an ok track, I like the ramps and thwomps, and that shortcut near the end, but now we got MUSHROOM GORGE!! Hot take, I like Gorge’s visuals in 7 than Wii and 8’s idk I always loved this track, and WE GOT BOSTON BANGER BUILDING, idc what anyone say, this is a top 3 in MKDS, I like the Halloween asthetic, like sure we barely go in the building but look at Madrid Drive’s Museum, we’re in there for only a heartbeat, nonetheless it’s still fun maneuvering through it and driving through a graveyard and driving on a grave for a gliding shortcut, and going through a dead forest with dead trees walking around is so goofy!
Mario Kart 7 of course would have been great if Luigi’s Mansion would have been replaced with Cheep Cheep Beach because having two Luigi tracks in the same cup is bull crap.
My opinion: 4. Mario Kart DS (obviously): SNES Mario Circuit 1= Slight downgrade (D) N64 Moo Moo Farm= Slight downgrade (C) GBA Peach Circuit= Slight downgrade (D) GCN Luigi Circuit= Downgrade (C) Overall Grade= D 3. Mario Kart Wii: GCN Peach Beach= Slight downgrade (B) DS Yoshi Falls= Slight upgrade (C) SNES Ghost Valley 2= Upgrade (C) N64 Mario Raceway= No real difference (C) Overall= C 2. Mario Kart 8: Wii Moo Moo Meadows= Upgrade (B) GBA Mario Circuit= Upgrade (C) DS Cheep Cheep Beach= Upgrade (B) N64 Toad's Turnpike= Massive Downgrade (D) Overall= C 1. Mario Kart 7: N64 Luigi Raceway= Slight Downgrade (C) GBA Bowser Castle 1= Slight Upgrade (C) Wii Mushroom Gorge= Slight Downgrade (A) Tour Boston Building= No real difference (A) Overall= B
I was actually kinda sad to hear that the SquareSpace sponsor was a fake out all along, this video was really funny and entertaining and I hope that hard work pays off eventually and you get enough subs to make that a reality, keep up the great content man.

I think DS having the worst of the retro cups made sense. It was the first game to do it, so the developers probably didn't know what courses would fit best for the retro cups, and the changes a lot of the courses got were going to be minimal due to hardware limitations.
I'd argue that the DS version of GCN Luigi Circuit is a downgrade because the road is too wide, meaning you have to go out of your way to interact with people going in the opposite direction. I remember playing the DS version when I was a kid and thinking, "Huh, I'm driving on the same section of road but in reverse. I wonder if I can hit anybody going in a different direction. I dunno, the two sides don't seem to be interacting with each other much, I'll just continue driving normally." I should not have these thoughts while racing on GCN Luigi Circuit.
Out of all the cups in Base Base 8 on the Wii U. The Shell Cup was always one of, if not, my least favorite cup in the game. It’s not bad, a lot of the tracks are just fine and the terrible Toads Turnpike remake.
