What SNES Course Will Return NEXT to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Booster Course Pass? 

Kind of funny how SNES BC3 gets the "GBA treatment" while the GBA BCs get the "SNES treatment."

Several times this past year, I made the argument to my brother on how SNES Bowser's Castle would probably be the best choice for the final SNES track in the BCP. Needless to say, when that Mario Kart Tour tweet showing off Bowser's Castle 3 came out, I was proud.

I really hope Bowser's Castle 3 comes to the game! It received such a great overhaul

Talking about GBA BC, I’m so happy about how it seems to be destroyed, I’ve always wanted to have a Bowsers Castle track that was set in one that was abandoned and in ruins, and it seems like it’s going to be like that. also kinda glad Coconut Mall sign theory is dead lol

Assuming that for future DLC characters, they will similarly tie a character to a track (like they did Birdo with Yoshi's Island), Kamek can easily be tied with Bowser Castle 3, heck the Bowser Tour is doing that as well.

For the longest time I'd always been a Vanilla Lake 2 believer, but I will absolutely not say no to Bowser Castle 3! I recognized it immediately the moment I saw the screenshot, because I'd know that section of the track anywhere! Both VL2 and BC3 are top 3 SNES tracks but Bowser Castle 3 is even better, so I'm excited to get to play on it in Tour (and hopefully 8 Deluxe wink wink nudge nudge).

I can’t believe I was right on an SNES Bowser’s Castle but not on Airship Fortress. Tbh I’m excited for its inclusion in the BCP. Personally I’d want to see it in Wave 5 but it being Wave 6 wouldn’t be bad either as long as the track in general is included over any of the other SNES tracks.

1:44 I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the BC3 remake. It looks like something straight out of Mario Galaxy!

6:55 that's the case for the whole dlc.

4:29 can't believe you got Chris Pratt to be in one of your videos.

Your logic for which SNES tracks had no/very low chances of being added are identical to what I’ve been saying for a few weeks now, I couldn’t agree more. Fingers crossed for BC3 to claim its rightful spot in the Booster Course Pass, even if it’s moved to Wave 6.

Can I just say that I love your track preview image mock-ups that you always do for your predictions :D I love to think about how the track thumbnails will look and make "predictions" for them myself - it's so fun to observe the patterns Nintendo uses to design these images and to utilize them for predicting what they will design themselves... I almost perfectly predicted the preview image for DS Mario Circuit, Nintendo used the exact same image of the Goomba that they used for a promotional picture and so I had access to it as well. Predicting these has almost grown on me more than predicting the tracks since we don't have that many unknown tracks to predict left.

Im all for Vanilla Lake or a Bowsers Castle coming back as theyve received the least attention in remakes discounting Tour.

Like GBA Bowser Castle 4 was saved to be extremely more abitious than the other three variants, i would love that SNES Mario Circuit 4 receive that treatment that they gave to GBA Bowser Castle 4

I used to think Vanilla Lake would be in there instead, but I'm now going with Bowser's Castle 3 because we already have so many snow-themed courses, including DK Summit, Snow Land, and Merry Mountain in the Booster Pass, not to mention Vancouver Velocity is coming as well.

Wave 5 would be perfect tbh. If Piranha plant cove is added in Wave 5 with Bowser castle it would be great for adding both Petey Piranha, and Fan favorite. As well as Kamek! Plus the Mario Movie recently released in Japan so Kamek would be perfect for potential cross promotions! Personally i think it'll stay as the third track in the Cherry cup. Uf you remember correctly the Cherry cup is in the same position as the Lightning cup in base game. Which holds the harder retros in base game. So why not put BC3 in? Its on the second half to the DLC and is the fourth cup so have a tedious track in there. Plus Wave 2 had Mushroom Gorge and Waluigi Pinball which could be tedious especially at 200cc.

SNES Bowser Castle 3 is so modified from the original that I don’t want it in the BCP, not because I don’t like the track (I mean, come on!), but because it’s not really representative of an SNES course anymore.

You absolutely killed this video and the views prove it! I can retire now if you keep this coverage up. It would be awesome to see you make more Tour content.

Finally after since super circus we got a remake is a snes bowser castle track

It should have been more obvious in the beginning of the BCP that it would be a Bowser Castle. Both Vanilla lakes are considered some of the worst tracks in Super Mario Kart, if not the entire franchise. They are slippery, ice block-y, glorified circles. And to anyone still in denial, why would they completely overhaul and add all of these upgrades to a SNES track in Tour, not to mention the obvious anti-grav section. And on top of that, why did they go with Bowser Castle 3 specifically? It is all just too obvious, and anyone who still believes either of the Vanilla Lakes are more likely needs to do a reality check. However, I am not too sure about it getting pushed back to Wave 6. There bone piranha plants have been datamined assets in Tour for a while now, so they have been working on this course for a long time. I know Wii Rainbow Road will have been in Tour almost a year before it's BCP debut, but part of me really hopes to see Bowser Castle 3 in Wave 5. (Also, I am starting to hope we don't get Sunset Wilds. It is way too overrated in my opinion, and the Tour remake is close to Sky Garden with how bad it was butchered. If anything, I am REALLY hoping we get Yoshi Desert over Sunset Wilds, but I know that is probably quite unlikely. Yoshi Desert was changed in tour, but it still has all of its turns.)

I feel like Bowser Castle 3 will be the third track in the Feather Cup. Many of the Booster Course Pass Cups have a course that works well as a mascot. For the Golden Dash Cup, you could argue it was Toad Circuit, due to it being Toad & Toadette's item in Double Dash!!. For the Propeller Cup, you could argue it's Sky-High Sundae. For the Rock, Moon & Fruit Cups, it's obvious Rock Rock Mountain/Alpine Pass, Rainbow Road & Yoshi's Island. Out of everything datamined for Wave 5, Bowser Castle 3 would be the only thing to fit that cup as it's the only other game pre-Booster Course Pass with the Feather as an item.

I think bowser castle 3 is coming back because since vanilla lake only has 2 variants snes mario circuit 3 and donut plains 3 are in the game Nintendo would like that idea putting the 3rd version of a snes track so yea in my opinion we'll most likely get bowser castle 3

My take on is that maybe they chose Mario Curcuit 3 to match Bowser’s Castle 3 🤯🤯

The closed captions said that you said “SNEA Bowser Castle 3 will be coming in Minecraft 2” XD but what you really said was Mario Kart Tour.

My god, SNES Bowser’s Castle 3’s remake blows literally every single other remake of an SNES track out of the water that it would be an absolute shame if it didn’t come to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the final SNES track

The irony is that while the bowser’s castle’s from gba remained unchanged for tour, snes bowser’s castle 3 is initially unrecognizable just like the other gba tracks

Honestly I'd rather see the bowser castle course over vanilla lake since we have a few ice courses including gba snow land. Plus with the glow up bowser castle got and the fact they could drop kamek along with it works perfectly

While I think I think it looks nice I still hope for Vanilla Lake simply cause it's my favorite course from the SNES and I hope if it's not here it comes back in whatever is to come next game given it would become the only track layout from the original to not reappear aside from Tour and the bonus SC cups

Nintendo may move the snes bowser’s castle to wave 6 and maybe move one of the wave 6 tracks to replace it instead. It’s just more fitting and the prefix leak is not 100% accurate already

Even if its a little too easy for the spiny cup it needs to be in there. Finish the booster course pass with bowsers castle followed by rainbow road. It just feels right.

the argument for vanilla lake completely clashes with the argument against ghost valley, "same theme but different wave is fine", not that either are going to be added anyway but even before snes bc3 they seemed just as unlikely

SNES Bowser Castle 3 has some antigravity to it. It’s gotta be the one to come.

I love how you say the 3rd track of a cup is usually more ambitious than the 1st and 2nd then continue to say Vanilla Lake(two tracks that are literally just over glorified circles) would be a good fit for that OVER SNES Bowser's Castle 3.

Congrats with 5k subscribers!!! 🎉🎉🎉 10k next….

if snes bowser castle 3 was originally planned for wave 5, i see no reason to believe they would suddenly move it to wave 6, more likely it was put in wave 5 intentionally because something else (gcn bowsers castle, intense nitro idk) was intended for wave 6.

Cherry cup Tour Los Angela’s laps Wii Koopa cape SNES bowser castle 3 Tour piranha plant cove Super leaf cup Tour (that Madrid track) GCN Daisy cruiser GBA sunset wilds Tour Athena’s dash My wave 5 predictions 💛

I have no doubt that Bowser Castle 3 will be the last SNES track. It's the best chance we have to get a Bowser Castle track in the BCP at this point. I still think it's going to be in Wave 5, though. Despite its glow-up, it's still an SNES track at the end of the day, and I think people will only be so excited for it. Like with the GBA tracks, their redesigns were cool, but not enough to make the best of each wave. So I think Nintendo will save more ambitious courses for Wave 6.

Great video and yeah, I'd be really surprised and sad if Bowser's Castle 3 weren't part of the BCP considering the effort they put into it compared to every other SNES remake (other than Vanilla Lake with the change you suggested on top of the ad which is why I thought that was coming before the reveal), either in its original spot or where you suggested!

Hello Albert

It’s crazy how the only good snes bowser castle to you is the one returning.

@AlbertBoris Looking back on the Prefix Datamine, it's possible we still get 4 GCN tracks, with one of them ending up being Waluigi Stadium. And after the shuffling with Maple Treeway, this could result in either Wave 5 or Wave 6 to be the only wave to have 2 Retro Tracks originating from the same console. 2 of those 3 remaining tracks I'm leaning towards are Daisy Cruiser for either Wave 5 cup; and Mushroom City for the 2nd or 3rd race of the Spiny Cup IF Athens Dash kicks off that cup, making Mushroom City "the City Track to end all City Tracks".

I would think that Bowser’s castle of SNES would make a glory return to Booster Course Pass, because of the angel

The amount of arguments I got into with kids screaming that its going to be vanilla lake. please nintendo

I think it’s safe to say BC3 is the last SNES track. No retro Bowsers Castle yet, every other SNES track blends with another track in the DLC, and the track just looks like it was made for MK8.

I would put SNES Bowser Castle 3 as the second slot for the Feather Cup 1. To reference both Super Mario Kart and Super Mario World, since both games featured the Feather item, as well as both of them being SNES Games. In addition, the music is a remix of Bowser’s theme from SMW. 2. Every SNES Track in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are placed in a 2nd Slot: Donut Plains 3 in Banana Cup SNES Rainbow Road in Triforce Cup Mario Circuit 3 in Turnip Cup

Bowser Castle Moment

2:34 THAT FAKEOUT!!

i never realised vanilla lake 1 and 2 had pretty much the same layout

Plus listening the classic remix final battle of bowser from mario world

I want this on booster pass

I really want SNES Bowser Castle over Vanilla Lake because for Vanilla Lake, we already had GBA Snowland. And on top of that, we already had a lot of snow tracks in the game.

Watch it be Koopa Beach anyways

Yeah it's most likely Bowser Castle 3 because of the track elevation and one section looking it like it has anti gravity material.

It was never going to be Vanilla Lake

Snes bc3 has number 3 in it it's obvious right? Well here's something i find out mario circuit 3 donut plain 3 they really like the number 3 lol so bc3 is more likely 😂😂😂😂

lmbo i've been saying its gonna be a snes bc in the bcp

8:40 Vanilla Lake has nothing to do in Wave 3, Wave 5, or Wave 6 anyway😂

I don't think we're going to get Vanilla Lake OR Dino Dino Jungle. I have a feeling the advertisements in Coconut Mall are just in-game world references

When you talk about the city tracks in your new predictions for wave 5 & 6 could you bring up your predicted route for the city's. Please!

Fun fact: if SNES bowser castle comes to the booster course pass, it’ll be the second ever retro bowser castle outside of n64’s in Wii (excluding super circuit and tour)

I always disliked Vanilla Lake 1 and Vanilla Lake 2... but I LOVE THE MUSIC. It is very distinct and is one of my favorite Mario Kart music pieces in the series. So if Vanilla Lake comes, I will be so mixed overall. Will SNES Bowser Castle 3 be the DS Airship Fortress of Wave 5? Lmao... it's POSSIBLE. _Anything_ is possible. Heck, I dunno how confident I am in GCN Daisy Cruiser anymore either. XD Nintendo likes to surprise us. Sometimes for the BETTER and other times... for the WORSE.

Watch it be the next Airship Fortress and have them waste all the work put into remaking this and add SNES Mario Circuit 1 instead

I personally would rather have Vanilla Lake, because I feel like they could combine Vanilla Lake 1 and 2 to make it a bigger track all together, and I'm not a fan of any SNES Bowser Castle's and GBA Bowser Castle's

Seeing BC3 like this make want to see the other SNES tracks like this 😅

Most likely, SNES Bowser’s Castle 3 will be the last SNES course in the Booster Course Pass since the course has been heavily redesigned for potential anti-gravity sections made for the Booster Course Pass.

4:29 … KOOPAS..

I want SNES Bowser's Castle 3 for Wave 5 it'd be 10/10

Hey Albert Boris I love your videos they’re so good man it’s OK you don’t like Mario kart DS I just like your videos mean oh no something I actually like Mario kart 7 my favorite Mario kart games

What if the last snes course has been moved to the spiny cup right before where Wii Rainbow Road is speculated to arrive

Man I spent HOURS laughing at the.... ...Chris Pratt joke!

I have already made a comment but something I just realised is that the 2nd track of the 2nd cup in each wave has been a retro track that is revealed for Mario kart 8 before tour. I think Mushroom Bridge is settling wave 5 Cherry cup 2nd spot. There are a few other tracks that are placed other places that weren’t added into tour until after 8 but it has a strong record now.

I actually have to argue against 3rd slot and going to bring up the mk8 u dlc, snes rainbow road was put in the second place of the triforce cup and despite bowsers castle snes having that atmosphere I still believe it will fall in the easier/simpler track layout second slot pattern maybe with unique mobs like Mario Circuit and Riverside Park did, especially if we having both a GCN and Wii track they will probably repeat the more ambitious/fan favourite track in 3rd slot. Certainly possible it could be 3rd, I just believe it will be 2 in the acorn cup. I do think the wave 5 tracks will be Athens Dash Sunset Wilds (It just fits here, it will probably have a new gimmick to make the track a bit more interesting.) Daisy Cruiser (Fan favourite, probably the planned GCN track of this wave) MobDK (I think La Laps will be the final track of this wave) Madrid (This is the most unsure track for me.) Mushroom Bridge (PATTERNS have shown that each wave in the 2nd cup and 2nd slot have revealed tracks before they are revealed for tour: Shroom Ridge, Snow Land, Peach Gardens and Mario Circuit) Koopa Cape (Fan Favourite) LA Laps (Final track energy but that’s all I can say)

You've seen the light! Bowser Castle in Wave 6! I think it'll be in the spiny cup just before Wii Rainbow Road, however. I think if a cup has only one retro track, it should be from a more popular game than SNES, so I'd put Dino Dino Jungle in the acorn cup

Please don’t let it be vanilla lake BOWSER CASTLE SNES

i never really believed in coconut mall theory, i just assumed that sunset wilds would be wave 5 + bowser's castle wasn't remade (until now) + 3 waves since snow land instead of 2 since boo lake but now that we've gotten it i can safely say that vanilla lake being in 8dx is now dead and buried (i'm still predicting dino dino jungle over dk mountain because 1. mobdk could very well be based on the "drivin' me bananas" scene from the mario movie; 2. it's one of the hardest tracks in mario kart series history; and 3. the tour team just really likes it)

RIGHT NOW i'd still dont see Bowser Castle 3 to fit in both waves since we can easily get a SNES track that wasnt datamined or that is already exited in Tour the only themed tracks that we DONT have YET are: Koopa Beach 1 or Bowser Castle 2 IF Vanilla Lake's 1 or 2 doesnt make it.

Vanilla Lake conflicts with GBA Snow Land, which we have in Wave 2, and a large range of other snow and ice tracks that are in the game. We don’t need another snow/ice track.

I was right Albert I was right give me some credit

On the topic of both SNES Bowsers Castle 3 and GBA Bowser's Castle 4 getting ported into tour, am I the only one that has been daydreaming about combining both into one super lengthy ultimate retro Bowsers Castle? Make it a 2 lap course like Wario Colloseum, if it's too long. Similarly with Yoshi's Desert and Dry Dry Ruins. I know Nintendo won't do that, but they would be some very cool tracks for the end of the booster course pass.

the way it is remade is basically proof for coming to bcp. Why would they put so much afford on an snes track.

I’m holding out for a Booster Course Pass 2 🤞🏻

Before the reveal of BC3, I was like "why would they remake ANOTHER SNES track? They are so boring!" But Nintendo shut me up with Bowser Castle 3

I’m pretty sure it will be Bowser Castle 3. Vanilla Lake is a boring and simple track and it doesn’t make any sense to bring it back in Wave 5. Also I think Dry Dry Ruins could be returning instead of Koopa Cape if they end up not making a Cairo City Track

SNES BC3 looks incredible in Tour, they HAVE to bring it to the BCP and hopefully wave 5. If they don't put it in and instead put Vanilla Lake, I will riot.

aka: i predicted

I just had the worst idea ever. The SNES course isn't SNES Bowser Castle 3. It's actually called "SNES Bowser Castle" (or maybe "SNES Bowser's Castle"). It's all 3 combined, where each lap is a different SNES Bowser's Castle. How would this work exactly? Well, it would obviously work like the city courses. But in terms of layout itself? Well, one word. Elevation. The 3 different SNES Bowser's Castles would simply cross over, or under each other (or in some cases, share sections of the same track). Alternatively, different parts of the track sink into, or rise out of the lava, changing the layout each lap.

I really hope its the Bowser Castle one. Cuz literally it has a godtier glow up and like WE NEEDED A BOWSER CASTLE. WE HAVENT SEEN A BOWSER CASTLE SINCE 2014 ALREADY. AND WE HAD 6 THOUSANDS SNOW MAPS. GIVE US SOMETHING. You can't just give a Bowser Castle a GLOW UP in Tour and THEN give us Snow Land. Like who tf are you trying to PLEASE. The people who BROUGHT THE DLC ALONG with the GAME that SOLD OVER 20 MILLION UNITS. Or the TOUR ppl alone. Just give us respect Nintendo. Dont FFFFF this up.

SNES Bowser's Castle 3 Look's Excellent It Should Come To BCP & GBA Bowser's Castle 4 Look's Amazing Oh You Should Do A GBA's Final Course Predictions Video Too

fast

Watch it be SNES Mario Circuit 1

My heart still wants to believe that we will have at least one more wave after the sixth.

I think this course comes back and we get kamek as the new character bowsers castle I mean

ghost valley 3 for the 2nd track of the acorn cup

Sixth

Unless the SNES track is moved to Wave 6, I still say it's Vanilla Lake for the last SNES track

I am hosting a mario Kart 8 deluxe RU-vidr Tournament... Would you be interested in competing? Tricky Nick also wants to join

I feel like I'm the only one who still thinks that Vanilla Lake (no idea which one tho) will get in. Nintendo wouldn't be THAT lazy to put the advertisement of the track that isn't (or in this case, won't be) in the game.

First 😝💅
