Ranking Mario Kart 8's Wii U DLC Courses 

Super Bell Subway is one of my favorites in all of mk8 the music, the atmosphere, the layout, is all perfect imo

Neo bowser city is supposed to sound dystopian

It seems like for ages Super Bell Subway got no love, glad that seems to be changing as it is easily one of the best tracks in the franchise! Flipping love that course.

I think a battle course ranking would be nice to see!

Man I really love Warios Goldmine in MK8

Glad to see there is someone else out there who appreciates Cheese Land

Personally I feel Wild Woods is hella underappreciated. It’s one of those tracks most people do enjoy and think is good, but forget about it more than most others. For me though it’s in my top 10 for sure

20:27 Albert Boris: I like trains. *Train runs him over*

I'm glad someone else loves Cheese Land! It's my favorite course in the game. Everything about it is just so good. The theme, the visuals, the music, the shortcuts, and everything else make it such a fun track.

YOOOO SUPERBELL SUBWAY SWEEP! The original DLC was truly something to remember by, and even after the BCP, it still holds up well.. mostly, anyway.

Big Blue is probably my most favorite because the music is absolutely amazing! But I feel like all the Wii U DLC Tracks were all amazing and had their own challenges! Especially Neo Bowser City’s challenging turns lol

4:02 Ok, I’m curious. Where did you hear that 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar was initially going to be a retro track in MK8, but ended up getting scrapped? I tried looking around for information on what you said, but couldn’t find anything.

Long live Cheese Land!!!!🧀

Here’s a fun fact! That lake SNES Rainbow Road takes place over is actually Donut Plains 3, checking an aerial view confirms it! Pretty neat.

I love Wild Woods so much ❤, in my humble opinion it's the most underrated nitro track in MK8 along with Dolphin Shoals! The stage is beautiful, it's a lot of fun to run through the trees, the turns are fun to do, it's really cool to jump over the leaves in the part with the water, the shortcut at the end is nice and the music... Man the music in this stage deserves more respect!!! Neo Bowser City is great!!! Those who don't like it I truly believe it's because of the difficulty XD but once you learn how to make those turns, it's a delight to go through the stage hehe. One of my favorite tracks from MK7!!! Anyway great video Albert ;D

Good video! But what will you do after the DLC ends, since you mostly do Mario Kart.

Bro what? Wario's Gold Mine I would say was the opposite, like in Wii it felt so off, and in 8 it felt like home.

You have no idea how happy I am to see Excitebike Arena in last

Great ranking. Wild Woods is my favorite track in the original Wii U DLC.

He, Albert Boris. Something I just came up with is this -- Remember that the NES Excitebike had different color pallettes for some of its tracks? I think it's a missed opportunity that the MK8 variants don't take advantage of this feature. It would help set different versions of the course apart from each other, while still having basically the same theme.

I like your take on hyrule castle. Interaction with the environment

2:47 bruh how does it sound like depression both versions of the music are a bop 17:13 lol get gud 17:36 This is my favorite track in the game. Love it.

If you like koopa city, you will love the ctgp name for this track. Neo Koopa City

super bell subway is such a unique course design and i love it. and most of the time, i manage to overcome kooa city's sharp turn on 200cc.

Super bell subway, ice ice outpost and wild woods are some of the best tracks imo

How are you able to get that increbile view from that perspective at 5:58

Happy to see some love Super Bell Subway Too, it’s so underrated

I agree. Excitebike Arena is very overrated. I still like it though. Also Ice Ice Outpost, Super Bell Subway, Wild Woods, and Dragon Driftway are very underrated.

I remember when I was younger I either got this DLC for free because of a glitch or my parents credit card was saved and it used their money XD.

I knew Dragon driftway sounded like Kung Fu Panda

Funnily enough, Neo Bowser City is pretty much the **one** exception where I would point to the NTSC name and actually say I like it better because it sounds less generic (at least for me), and I think 'neo' is such an awesome word which adds to the futuristic visuals without (at least for me) being dystopian. Although I might like that word so much just because I love the track. It's another example of me saying you know a song is good because it was used in Super Nintendo World.

Neo Bowser city is one of the most underrated tracks of all time!!!!! 🌃

Why would you put an oval over excite Bike? It's fun each time you race. You even said it has over 200 combinations. I didn't even know that. If there was literally nothing in the background but the sky box, where would you rank Baby Park?

Everyone talking about how Daisy Circuit or Yoshi Circuit is the best Circuit… but Hyrule Circuit is right there

Big blue is absolutely top 3 material. It would be in a good spot swapped places with ribbon road imo

My ranking : 1st : Super Bell Subway 2nd : GBA Cheese Land 3rd : Wild Woods 4th : GBA Ribbon Road 5th : Hyrule Circuit 6th : Wii Wario’s Gold Mine 7th : 3DS Neo Bowser City 8th : Animal Crossing 9th : Dragon Driftway 10th : Mute City 11th : GCN Yoshi Circuit 12th : SNES Rainbow Road 13th : Big Blue 14th : Excitebike Arena 15th : Ice Ice Outpost 16th : GCN Baby Park Will you do a Top 10 of your favorites Mario Kart tracks of all time?

Cheese Land & Big Blue may very well be my favorites of these 16

For me, one of my favorite Mario Kart courses is easily Ribbon Road. It's my 3rd favorite, just barely being edged out by N64 Rainbow Road- 8 remake, not OG- and Yoshi's Island. Those other 2 are just so magical to me, but Ribbon Road just feels great to play imo.

Super Bell Subway is literally my favorite mario kart track of all time, I was so happy to see it at number 1

Dragon Driftway is the best one.

Here are my rankings GCN Yoshi Circuit: 8/10 Excitebike Arena: 5/10 Dragon Driftway: 9/10 Mute City: 8/10 Wii Wario’s Gold Mine: 7/10 (6 for original) SNES Rainbow Road: 9/10 Ice Ice Outpost: 8/10 Hyrule Circuit: 7/10 GCN Baby Park: 3/10 GBA Cheese Land: 10/10 (7 for original) Wild Woods: 7/10 Animal Crossing: 9/10 3DS Neo Bowser City: 7/10 GBA Ribbon Road: 10/10 (8 for original) Super Bell Subway: 5/10 Bug Blue: 8/10

Looking forward to the ranking video of all 96.

This DLC was really well rounded, I really love all the tracks (except Baby Park). 2 oval tracks were kinda sucky but besides that it was pretty awesome, I never got to enjoy this on the WiiU personally :(

Agree about Ribbon Road's VGM! The OG music with the xylophone hit so hard. Then again 8/10 I usually prefer OG VGM to the jazzy remakes of 8

Ribbon Road and Cheese Land set the standard for GBA Remakes. Underrated tracks, unique concepts held back by limited hardware. Seeing them in a new light from only having 8 remakes to now 18, with Broken Pier and Rainbow Road left just goes to show that GBA tracks are awesome if given the chance.

I respect your opinion for Wario's Gold Mine, but it's still just so fun in my eyes..

FR the mk8 dlc neeeeeeds more loveeee Also what is you’r dlc character ranking??

Super Bell Subway is the best! However Cheese Land is way lower for me, that fact that they changed it backdrop and removed the mice are a big no for me. The whole 'the moon is cheese' pun it gone. Because of this is leans more to a generic desert track which I think is a shame.

finally someone who sees the prefection of super bell subway

My ranking: 16. Excitebike arena 15. Baby park 14. Neo bowser city 13. Wario's gold mine 12. Snes rainbow road 11. Animal crossing 10. Ice ice outpost 9. Mute city 8. Cheese land 7. Yoshi circuit 6. Ribbon road 5. Dragon driftaway 4. Hyrul circuit 3. Wild woods 2. Super bell subway 1. Big blue

Neo Bowser City is DARK and Thunder! Which makes me love it

Mk64 and DS when the original dlc came out and not a single one of there tracks to remade: 😐😑😐

Agree with you 100% with the F Zero tracks not a big fan of either but # 2 super bell subway and Dragon Driftway #1 for me

Wild Woods is my favourite of all the tracks, I really like the wood theme

I think Neo Bowser City is one of my favorites, I love almost everything about it

The courses from the mk 8 dlc where of such good quality. It's also way more fun in original mk 8 to unlock charachters instead of getting them all instant

okey dokey ranking time (tracks in my top 10 and wild woods) 1. neo bowser city (yes its the correct way lol). i didn’t like this track until like a year ago and now i don’ know why i ever disliked it. i have a night city track bias, and when paired with a difficult track, rain, the most flawless vibe on a track ever, a few cheeky shortcuts, and a track most people are bad at on 200cc but i took the time to get decent at it, you get what might be my favorite track in the game. 2. dragon driftway- flawless. based off gobblegut from galaxy 2 which is a game that’s always been close to my heart. really cool track design, asian inspiration, really interesting and banger music, and a surprisingly tricky gap cut. this might be a top 3 track in the game for me 3. big blue- just wow. this track still blows me away. interchangeable between 1 through 4 on my list of the whole game honestly. 4. super bell subway- this is like 8 or 9 on my top 10 and this track did not need to go so hard lol. the music is amazing. the vibe is amazing. the concept is so basic yet so well executed. i’ve always loved this track, and i’m happy you put it at 1. 5. wild woods- this ones like #11 or something but i’ll let it slide. this track is just super forgettable and overlooked by most people, but i’ve always thought it was a gem in terms of everything. only mariokart track in 5/8 too which is fun (i pick these online sometimes) 6. cheese land- cheese land. 7. mute city- the detailing on this track is soooo insane, and it just plays super well. executing the shortcut and just gliding down is very satisfying too 8. wario’s gold mine- i get what you said about liveliness being taken away, but i still think the track and concept is a lot of fun. the shy guys are still there too! 9. rainbow road- i just enjoy this one a lot, idk why. great soundtrack (I think these are not bad and do generally enjoy them) 10. ice ice outpost- i really really like the vibe and music of the track. yes youre confined to a split path, but it really feels like you’re driving through a polar research station or something. plus the shortcuts are cool and add some needed difficulty into the track 11. ribbon road- i get why people are gassed up about this track, but I personally don’t enjoy playing it much for whatever reason. plus the music is just unenjoyable imo 12. yoshi circuit- it’s a fun and simplistic yet kinda tricky course. i like the shortcuts a lot, even though they removed the tunnel 13. animal crossing- i completely agree with everything you said about the track lol (Below here i dislike the tracks) 14. hyrule circuit- i am the only person i know who dislikes this track. i’ve never gotten into zelda, so that may be part of it, but the track honestly just feels like another boring circuit course to me. yeah the antigrav shorcut is cool, but it’s faster to just take the turn tight. plus that section is completely flat anyway so 15. baby park- the fact that youre able to see the park now shows how cool the track could’ve been racing in the park instead of on the loop for 7 laps 16. excitebike arena- i actually enjoyed this a lot when i first played it but it just feels bland and unfun whenever it shows up. Bottom 3 track in the game for me damn this is the most effort ive put into a comment in a while, it could be used as a video lmao. great vid btw!

Another W Albert Boris video

but uh... Neo Bowser City *is* dystopian.

My ranking would look like this: 16. Wario's Gold Mine 15. Ice Ice Outpost 14. Animal Crossing 13. SNES Rainbow Road 12. Yoshi Circuit 11. Hyrule Circuit 10. Super Bell Subway 9. Baby Park 8. Wild Woods 7. Cheese Land 6. Ribbon Road 5. Koopa City 4. Excitebike Arena 3. Dragon Driftway 2. Mute City 1. Big Blue

I don't agree with a lot of things in this video but I gotta say, Superbell Subway at number 1 is pretty based. It's my third favorite track in the entire game, BCP included, only behind Athen's Dash and Hyrule Circuit (my number 2 and 1 respectively). Athens I like the layout and music more, and Zelda is my favorite game series so the bias go crazy but Superbell Subway is fantastic. As a fellow train enjoyer I find the theming to be immaculate, it's certainly my favorite setting in the whole game due to the sheer amount of detail. I wish I could explore this place in real life, especially since actual subways in the States are kinda nasty. The layout is super fun and the optimal lines on this course go pretty crazy as well, especially on 200cc. Overall a fantastic course and although I'd obviously put Hyruke Circuit higher I can't complain about getting Superbell Subway getting some much needed praise, it's gotta be one of the most underrated Mario Kart tracks of all time since it barely gets talked about

Super bell subway is my favorite map and i feel its heavenly underrated

Ed is singing happy birthday to Jane

2:22 And yet I always felt like there was only 2 or 3.

nice vid mate. are you upset that Boston building still isn't in the game

Finally some more Cheese Land love. Its sad how much hate desert tracks get, sure they aren't that good visually, but tracks like Cheese Land have a fun and complex layout. I miss when tracks were rated based on how they played, not how they look.

As a Zelda fan, hearing “a sword” was shocking, because it’s THE Master Sword, I highly recommend to play Zelda really fun franchise. I agree with the placement, but maybe not for the same reasons. Hyrule is a vast kingdom, and driving only in the castle was fun, but the kingdom so underrepresented. What about Death Mountain, lake Hylia or even Gerudo Valley. Anyways, this dlc is all legend tracks… not like 3ds toad circuit…

ive been sayin for years that super bell is the best track im so glad you agree

I'm european too but come on, Neo Bowser City just sounds cooler than just "Koopa" City 👀

Albert, you’ve got to try warios goldmine on 200cc, it is really fun!

So here is my Ranking: 1. Big Blue 2. Warios Goldmine 3. Mute City 4. Cheese Land 5. Dragon Driftway 6. Ribbon Road 7. Wild Woods 8. Yoshi Circuit 9. Superbell Subway 10. Hyrule Circuit 11. Excitebike Arena 12. Animal Crossing 13. SNES Rainbow Road 14. Neo Bowser City 15. Baby Park 16. Ice Ice Outpost

Interesting ranking, my own would be: 1. Big Blue 2. Hyrule Circuit 3. Animal Crossing 4. SNES Rainbow Road 5. GBA Ribbon Road 6. Wii Wario’s Gold Mine 7. Wild Woods 8. GCN Yoshi Circuit 9. Dragon Driftway 10. Super Bell Subway 11. 3DS Koopa City 12. GCN Baby Park 13. GBA Cheese Land 14. Ice Ice Outpost 15. Mute City 16. Excitebike Arena

I love Super Bell Subway too!

8:21-8:24 NOOOOOOO, SOMEBODY WAKE ME UP!!!

In Cheese land in Mario kart 8 I wish they kept the outer space sky and the mice because now I feel like it’s just another desert course Edit: OG cheese land is goated

remember when Nintendo had passion for dlc even though they wasn't making any money I am done with 8 deluxe

Mario Kart fans try not to make a nitpicking complaint: challenge impossible 😂🤣

This dude bringing the hot takes with mute city and wario's gold mine. And you never played Zelda!?!?!?! XD My bottom 2 are the horrible dragon stage and neo bowser city since i exclusively play on 200cc with 4 local players

Noice

My favorites are Animal Crossing and Wild Woods

My ranking if anyone cares: Big Blue Ribbon Road Wild Woods (soso underrated) Mute City Wario’s Gold Mine Hyrule Circuit Excitebike Arena Yoshi Circuit Baby Park Super Bell Subway Cheese Land (bagging ruins this track) Animal Crossing (gimmick is cool but the layout is horrible) Rainbow Road (SNES) Dragon Driftway Ice Ice Outpost Neo Bowser City

This one was okay in my opinion, I think the Triforce cup was the best one

Super bell subway better be first... or else unsubbing + leaving your discord!!!!

I think I speak for many when I say I don't like neo bowser city because of that... *one* *turn* we all know and hate.

Wait Shy Guy Bazaar Was scrapped? SOURCE?????

As a 200cc player, I can safely say that Koopa City is the worst track in the series by a mile.

Super bell subway is pretty good, but i dont think its as good as big blue or especially cheese land.

Some controversial opinions, but overall, iryo great list!

Cheese land is kingly.

yoshi circuit for #1!

TRAIN!!!

Cheese land and pizza love it

My least favourite is SNES Rainbow Road because IT WAS ALREADY REMADE IN MARIO KART 7! I have no idea why they decided to bring back a retro that they just remade in the previous game especially because they were clearly willing to do a lot with these DLC tracks, like if they had to remake a Rainbow Road why not GCN Rainbow Road? What makes the flat and most boring Rainbow Road worthy of two remakes one after another?

Ice ice outpost should definitely be beneath original rainbow road. Its so lame

Cheeseland was one of the most disappointing remakes in the dlc. I guess it is fun, but do jot call it a gba course.

I personally still hate dragon driftway😂

“Driving on just a road!” *Puts Koopa city in top 5*

Hold on?? You have never played a Zelda game.. These DLC courses are by far the best cups in the game..

Masoquista

I mean this VERY respectufully, you have some of the wort opinions I have ever heard. good video tho
