Which Mario Kart Courses Remain? 

What Courses would you like to see return in the next game?

I think that they could bring some retro courses from DS, Wii or even 7, because they deserve a second chance and they're fan favorites (Mushroom Bridge, Frappe snowland, Banshee Boardwalk, Delfino Square, Airship Fortress, Luigi's Mansion, Dino Dino Jungle, Koopa Troopa Beach come to mind)

I really hope double dash gets the love it deserves. Hope we get wario coliseum, Bowser's castle, rainbow road,and mushroom bridge

I even have the tracks listed up as well. You should also do one for the battle tracks. With counting the race tracks from Tour that haven't returned are: Piranha Plant Pipeline, and all 10 of the RMX tracks. Thus another 11 have been missed.

The red color should’ve been split up into BCP and non BCP. I agree that courses like Choco mountain and coconut mall won’t be returning. But the ones which were in tour and weren’t in the BCP, such as GBA Peach/Luigi Circuit, N64 Frappe Snowland, GCN Mushroom Bridge, etc. have a chance.

I used to think Nintendo completely works by these patterns to, but then they added SNES Rainbow Road to Mario Kart 8 and 3 Fire Emblem Characters to Smash 4. If Nintendo wants to do something bad enough, especially if they think it will surprise us in a good way (emphasis on think) then they'll do it. Not to say you're completely wrong on what you said about the Bowser's Castles and Rainbow Roads, I kinda agree with you on what you said, but you never know, Nintendo does like their surprise factor. Great vid btw! I was thinking of looking into this topic myself when I saw the thumbnail! Thanks a bunch!

I don’t get some of the classifications here. You say blue courses are supposed to be courses that were put in Tour first before being put into the BCP, yet certain Retro courses like Shroom Ridge and Snow Land debuted in the BCP first. And I know you’re at least aware of this, because you talk about how Shroom Ridge is deserving of another chance, but not Snow Land, even though they both suffered the same symptom of being surprise additions to the BCP before eventually making it into Tour. Just a really weird inconsistency that put me off from some of your opinions, since personally I’m fine with future MK devs double-dipping into courses that may have already been brought back in DS or Wii for the next Mario Kart if they have to, because it’s been a while since anyone has played on any of those courses. Also, yeah I guess we’re apparently just not counting BCP exclusive remakes except for when you feel like it (You’re happy with SNES BC3, Snow Land, Waluigi Stadium, Kalimari Desert, basically every BCP exclusive Remake pre-DS (somehow also including Sunset Wilds), but you wanna chew out Shroom Ridge, DK Summit, Moonview Highway, Wii’s & 7’s Rainbow Roads even though they’re some of the most beloved tracks in the BCP. Please explain the logic to me there kind sir). Yeah, Maybe think through your Retro track analysis a little more next time, pal. ‘Cuz this just ain’t it, Chief.

My picks for the next Mario Kart game's retro courses (not including DLC): 🐢 Wii Luigi Circuit ☀️ 3DS Daisy Hills 🐐 GBA Cheep-Cheep Island 🐟 Wii U Thwomp Ruins 🗿 🍌 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar 🕌 Wii U Toad Harbor 🚃 SNES Mario Circuit 4 🌤 Wii Dry Dry Ruins 🏜 🍁 Wii Toad's Factory 🏭 Wii U Sunshine Airport ✈ N64 Wario Stadium 🏟 GCN Mushroom City 🌃 ⚡ Wii U Cloudtop Cruise 🌩 3DS Maka Wuhu 🌅 DS Bowser Castle 🏰 GBA Rainbow Road 🌠

i think once they use up all the tracks in one game, they will just start reusing the first tracks from that game to be remade

Great recap! I personally think it's likely we'll see some DS/Wii Retros get a second shot, but who knows, this series has become pretty unpredictable in the Tour era! I do wonder if they'll stick to the standard 4 Retro Cups going forward though, especially following 8's 3 DLC campaigns.

I don't think any of MK8's crossover tracks are going to return in future games, unless they run out of Wii U tracks.

I'll be the devil's advocate for why they brought back Wii and 3DS Rainbow Road in the BCP. If we follow the pattern set by Mk7 and 8, then the last two RR's to get remade would've been Wii and 3DS. The time between Mario Kart games have been growing, so was likely the only chance of either of them returning for a long time. That being said RIP Ds Rainbow Road, the awkward middle child.

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 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. I see WiiU/NS tracks coming back in the MK after MK9 tho.

2,000 views in under 24 hours is impressive!

9:00 99.5% bro that's so comically high that it made me sub

What about piranha plant pipeline from tour that has not been remade yet

I don't think that any of the courses (other than the non-city Tour nitros) featured in the Booster Course Pass will return in the next Mario Kart. Also don't forget Pirahna Plant Pipeline. It's the only Tour nitro that didn't get remade for the BCP.

That image you used for Ghost Valley 3 is from a custom track...

I feel like we are at a point where they should give the Retro Tracks from Mario Kart DS another chance to really shine - its been about 20 years once the next MK comes out after all. A proper remake of GBA Luigi Circuit or N64 Banshee Boardwalk (my brain still tries to call it Boowalk sometimes lmao) would really be nice and both tracks in HD could work really well, especially Banshee Boardwalk if they keep the underwater stuff (like GBA Boo Lake). Otherwise...yeah Wii Toads Factory is a lock if they stay with the current formular for sure and N64 Wario Stadium too (though I would rather see Wario Colosseum or Shipyard from the remaining Wario tracks first but oh well..)

The one that needs to return the most is toads factory. Personally I think track is one of the best of Mario kart Wii and it’s a shame it never saw the light of day beyond it.

I would not mind if they left the SMK donuts behind, and went the RMX route from here on out to represent that game and when the time comes GBA

I don't think they should focus on unremade courses for much longer. Wii has only 5 courses left GCN has only a cup's worth N64 only has 1

Didn’t every SNES track get remade on GBA?

cool like video idea but really inconsistent on what you want to mention

I genuinely believe the four that never returned from Double Dash are the game’s best.

Imagine a game that has the standard Nitro cups, and a corresponding amount of Retro cups, but then you can buy Retro Cup packs that are just the rest of the tracks from whatever game you want. Then you can sort by game, by cup, by theme, etc.

Has anyone noticed that snes ghost Valley 3 was remade in wii?

Rip Piranha Plant Pipeline

8:00 2003*.

I hope Nintendo don’t add any mk8 nitros as Retros for the next game, i’m so tired of playing them for 10 years lol

4:43 because they were never remade in any succeding game past super mario kart kid named super circuit:
