“DK’s Jungle Parkway wins the competition for weirdest track name.” Mount Wario:

Putting DS below GBA isn't just a hot take, it's lava.

If GBA Rainbow Road gets remade, I think they should put the movie version of Bowser's Castle in the background. It's pretty similar to Paper Mario's version, floating in the sky with Bowser's face on the front and having balls with chains. It's more relevant in the modern day, and has a more intimidating design, so it's perfect.

Schaffrillis is about to call a hit on you.

My biggest issue with 8’s Rainbow Road is that it could’ve been SO much cooler. One super underrated aspect of 8 is that most of the nitro tracks (and some of the retros, like Toad’s Turnpike) take place in an interconnected city, imagine how good a Rainbow Road going through that city would be.

Mario Kart 7's rainbow road is one of my favorite tracks in the entire series

7:35 it's funny how 8's trailers treated 64's Rainbow Road as a bigger deal than 8's Rainbow Road

I like Banshee Boardwalk. There's something about its challenge and aesthetic that makes me enjoy it.

I'm SO glad 8DX kept the meteor effect in Wii's Rainbow Road, even if for just a second before Lakitu comes to whisk you back to safety. it was such a neat bit of the original :)

18:09 Actually, this DOES make sense in the Mario Universe since Dry Bones are common enemies. Thus, multiple appear at the exact same time despite being the same character. And they're also skeletal versions of Koopas, which also have selectable slots in some of the Mario Spin-offs. So yeah. This tracks at the end of the day.

DS Special Cup in 6th is a war crime

3.5/5 for ds bowser castle is crazy. best bowser castle track in the franchise

The reason for the ghost tracks to be mainly bridges is cause in Japan bridges are often associated with ghosts and are considered haunted places because of the high suicide rate of Japan, there's rumours of the spirits of those who jumped off haunting the bridges, and because of that, although bridges may not seem scary to us, they are in Japan Later on they moved into the spooky mansion to please to a more worldwide audience rather than just some local thing

It is here, I hope you can make more fun videos like these like ranking all the booster course cups or retro cups!

22:43 “Even the trees are alive too.” This game has so much charm. I wish trees in real life were also alive.

it’s finally out this was worth the wait ik that either wii’s special cup or gcn’s special cup will win with how fantastic the track selection is

I’m glad you mentioned the no Thwomps in MK8 Bowsers Castle. No one really brings it up

You're supposed to use the sand pillar in bone dry dunes to make it to the top area. It's also easier to make it if you take the sand path instead of the anti grav bone path

What do you know it’s another win for the amazing mario kart Wii Also the schaffrillas part was funny

Also, I feel like MK8’s Rainbow Road would’ve gotten way less disliked if it was a section track, I think some people found it weird that they reverted to using the usual lap system for Rainbow Road after giving it the section treatment in 7

I'm soooooo happy this series is back. I've really enjoyed every episode so far!

Schafrillas is on his way to your house for putting DS special cup at 6

YES!!!! I’ve been waiting for so long. Idc how long it takes for each one cause each time it makes me light up 🤩

This man is the definition of hot takes

15:45 to be fair most gba remakes lately have been pretty faithful when remaking the back grounds so I’m hopeful it’ll stay!

YES! Right on time for my lunch! This is gonna be a good day :) Wii and DS had some solid Special Cups, hoping to see 'em high!

the wait was worth it 🔥

I AGREE SO MUCH WITH YOU ABOUT CLOUDTOP CRUISE ITS SO GOOD!!

Cloudtop Cruise is amazing. I'm also surprised it doesn't get more praise.

Whilst watching this I managed to correctly predict that the Mario Kart 8 special cup would be placed in the middle

I've been eagerly waiting for the next Cup Ranking, glad it's out!

I love how you view many of these tracks differently than Schaffrillas did!

Finally, some cloudtop cruise appreciation

I remember sitting down on a warm winter night playing Wii Rainbow road with my cousins, of course, we never advanced at all because of it's difficulty, but it was still fun, looking at Mario become a meteor 57 times in a row.

Mario Kart Wii was my first Mario Kart and will probably stay my favorite for a long time

I’ve been waiting for this video to come out forever

Double Dash's special cup is my favorite. So much variety.

Babe wake up, new UnfunnyMeat Mario Kart cup ranking just dropped.

Thank you for gifting me with the knowledge that there's a rainbow road song, I feel complete.

This was a great journey to watch these videos of the nitro cups ranked. I'm betting right now that Mario Kart DS will get fourth place in every Mario Kart retro cup ranking video, or at least, last place with the Shell Cups ranked.

I can’t believe you ranked Dingo Dingo Derby only 0.5 higher, literally gonna go to your house and steal all your mortal possessions

My most anticipated video finally dropped

Schaffrillas:You tell Unfunny Meat that he'll never eat lunch in this town again

It’s nice to see some Mario kart content again

WiiU Bowser’s Castle is my favorite Bowser Castle in the whole series. I’d give it a 5/5.

20:50 it’s true it doesn’t feel like it, but if you get a big overview of the track the entire last section is very vertical compared to the rest, I know it’s hard to tell but I think that’s pretty cool.

You should rank every Propeller Cup. It’s totally worth it!

Cloud Top Cruise is definitely one of my favorite tracks too!

28:28 this aged like fine wine

YES CLOUD TOP CRUISE LOVE! Definitely my favorite nitro in the game just edging out Bone-Dry Dunes.

18:31 well, to get onto that platform, You need to bounce off of the spewing sandpillar to reach that.

Schaffrillas Productions is not going to be happy about the DS slander.

"Did you think I would put mario kart wii first twice in a row" - unfunny meat, flower cup ranking

I'm gonna be controversial, no, I don't actually enjoy MK7's rainbow road that much. I think it's visually beautiful as a huge space nerd, but it's so underwhelming to drive on. What I expect from a special cup, and especially a rainbow road is that the tracks are either filled with obstacles that you have to learn the rhythm of (like the cars on moonview highway), or that it has a lot of difficult turns that you absolutely *can* learn, but where it takes a lot of practise to master. Frankly, I've never felt challenged by MK7's rainbow road (and this is the same problem I have with Rosalinas ice world) in any regard besides if I get physically pushed off by other players. If I can't even feel that I'm getting better at a track the more that I play it, I honestly think it's really boring. Which is why I specifically love MKWii's rainbow road above all else, because it took me so much practising for me to not fall off the track within the first 20 seconds. If MK7's rainbow road was as challenging as it's beautiful, it might've stolen my heart, but it's literally so easy that I just can't be a fan of it beyond its visual appeal

About damn time!

glad to see a take that doesn’t meatride ds

One thing I’ll take offense to is ranking the 7 Bowsers Castle higher than the Wii one, 7BC is imo the worst non-flat bowser course like it just has nothing

I love watching these with my fiance and "complaining" about your choices (even though I agree with them for the most part) Oh also according to the Mario Kart 64 manual, it's "restless natives" that throw the coconuts at you in DK Jungle Parkway

Do you have any tips for editing videos? I really loved the way you styled the video, it wss very entertaining

Thank you! I find Cloudtop Cruise to be the coolest Track in Mk8

It's finally here Bois

It's been 84 years Worth it

UNFUNNY PEAK CAME BACK WITH IT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

What an unbiased ranking

Mushroom- Yoshi Flower-Luigi Star- Peach Special- Mario Predictions: Shell- Toad

YAY I LOVE THIS SERIES

He returns!

FINALLY THE SPECIAL CUP RANKING

HE’S BACK

Loved the PBG style Rainbow Road song haha

Imagine when GBA RR gets remade it has Bowser from Wonder in the background.

When u rank the retro cups are u gonna make a separate video on the booster course pass tracks?

I can’t remember what my favourite special cup was, but I remember that it had Rainbow road and Bowser’s castle

The feather should be in the next mario kart FOR THE ACTUAL TRACKS

That awkward moment when bro altered the timeline and got Bowser's Castle 3 in the game.

Some things about the U Special Cup. Cloudtop Cruise is a fan favourite, it is just not talked about because DLC is newer. To get to the upper wooden part in Bone Dry Dunes, you need to hit the sand geyser. I checked and yep he is right about the thwomps. And 21:24 There should be an apostrophe in Bowser's Castle.

"The retro cups won't take as long as the nitro cups" Let me check when this was uploaded --- 5 months ago? Hmmmmm

I love the intro

I don’t love 3DS Rainbow Road. Like, I wouldn’t have been that bothered if it got the N64 Wario Stadium treatment.

Here it is, guys! Here it is!

Im one of the few that dont like mk3ds’ rainbow road. I dont hate it, and it took a while for me to realize that its a pretty fun drive! But i could never really get behind the track design. In concept the way the roads were supposed to mimic parts of celestial bodies sounds pretty cool, but with the roads were so thick and textured weirdly kind of broke the immersion, eg the saturns rings portion or the floating toilet paper tube). The remaster in mk8 looks steps better, but in the end it still felt tacky …

Hi, I’m one of those people who doesn’t like 3DS Rainbow Road. It’s an okay track that’s held up by good music. It lacks a lot of the challenge of previous RR’s and I think it would’ve worked much better as a circuit course rather than a section course.

Thank you, meat

HEY MARNIE BONE DRY DUNE IS AMAZI G

'Wario Stadium DS is so easy' Underneath the name : *rank E*

“For being in the special cup, this cup is really easy” *RANK E* 😂 9:40

I think "Koopenheimer" is more clever but still, funny reference.

When you said that 3DS DK Jungle came straight out from the Donkey Kong games, it's because the team behind this track was Retro Studio, aka the devs from DK Country Returns

My fave is double dash’s all 2 of its tracks are in my top 3 of all time

Once the booster course pass wraps up you have to rank the cups from the booster course pass I think it would make an amazing video

The king has returned at last!!!

those are agreeable opinions.

7:24 No offense, but please finish the warning before the flash, next time. When you go out of your way to mention something like that, it is very important that you warn the viewer prior to the flash, yes the warning did START before the flash, but the most important part of the warning wasn't until after the flash had begun in the video. And while sure, I don't have epilepsy, it is still somewhat disorienting. This isn't meant to be a hate comment, but rather, I just wanted to point it out. That way, you can take it into account for future videos, so it doesn't happen again. Sorry if my comment was too long. Have a great day!

I don’t dislike mk7 rainbow road, but I’ve also never gotten a strong appreciation for it either. Kind of always in the middle for me. I don’t have any reason to dislike it because I do like it but I also prefer rainbow road 64, snes remakes, double dash, Wii, and 8 more than 7

LET'S GOOO 👑 14:56 Wait did this boost panel move forward before you drove on it??

not me, but my dad doesn't like 3ds rainbow road for some reason. his only experience was the version of it in 8 deluxe, but i don't really think it changes anything from the original, or at least not to make it a bad track. it's amazing in both. he's probably just a weirdo LOL

I don’t think 3DS Rainbow Road is ever exactly hated, just kinda called “overrated”, like Waluigi Pinball, the four Wii tracks that returned in 7, and literally every single section track

no way after 58 bajillion years the video came out ‼️

can't wait for the next annual installment where he puts Mario Kart Wii at the top, AGAIN!
