Personally I didn't mind the fact that mk7s Wii retro tracks weren't much of an improvement because it was more the novelty of being able to play Wii tracks on a 3ds which made them feel more special for me

indeed, the wii tracks didnt need many improvements, they were already fine. and they all look still great on 7
Yeah MKWii just nailed it with the Retro Tracks. Still my favourite selection in the series so far. Don't get me wrong, I love the reimaginings in MK8, but it was obvious that some games (MK64) were running out of tracks to use.

In my opinion 7's selection is on par (Shell Cup is noticeably better, imo Leaf Cup as well, but most of the debate boils down to preference, like for example, liking Airship Fortress or DK Mountain more). If they remade a harder Bowser's Castle instead of GBA BC1 it'd probably be undisputed.

Personally, I feel MK7 was where the retro tracks started to get good. Mario Kart DS and Wii changed almost nothing when adding the tracks (N64 Mario Raceway, GCN Luigi Circuit) so when 7 and 8 actually changed things like adding more elevation to the GBA tracks, and making them feel more modern, it can make people feel like they’re new tracks, which is what they should go for more often.

I feel like they got better with each entry. DS had bad picks with some tracks being downgrades to their originals. Wii had every track be almost the same as its original, and it had some good pics. 7s tracks started to add new mechanics to the tracks plus having some phenomenal picks. 8s retros were incredible reimagined takes on the original tracks that make them feel like all new tracks. Retro tracks just continued to evolve with Nintendo getting better at them with each game.

“It’s worse simply because it’s not better” made me laugh 😂 But great job on this. I can’t believe you payed attention to the little details. You put so much effort into this video and I really appreciate it.
Retro tracks have always been a curiosity to me and this video was an excellent breakdown of them! Great work!
Im surprised the n64 Yoshi Vally’s inability to keep track of placement not being carried over to MK8 wasn’t considered a blow to democracy

Oh TRUE. No you're right it definitely is a blow to democracy, I just completely forgot that's how it worked on the 64.
also for banshee boardwalk, remember. they made those tracks brighter because the game was meant to be played on the original DS screen, which was much darker than the lite and 3DS
I feel like you should've went with the "it's worse" option for DS Airship Fortress in MK7, as beyond a glider ramp you mentioned no further improvements, and that justification was also used to give the 3DS's Wii tracks a "it's worse" rating. Edit: Same goes for 3DS Music Park in MK8.

Those ones have graphical improvements. The Wii tracks on 3DS do not.
3:07 the bumps from Ghost Valley are present in Boo Lake and Broken Pier, and the blocks in Vanilla Lake are functionally identical to the walls of Boo Lake, Broken Pier, and Ghost Valley.
I really enjoy the visual and aesthetic upgrade to most of the retro tracks but I really wish they would have left in more of the alternate paths/ability to explore like 14:30 & 19:22

You seem to be a fan of the retro tracks being nearly identical to the nitro ones besides looking better and maybe a glider/water/anti gravity section added here and there. So why do you specifically dislike it so much when 7 does this to Wii courses, but like it in literally all other cases? Am I missing something?
Awesome video! Thanks!!
“It’s worse because it’s simply not better - CowFoodYum 2021
3:05 SNES Rainbow Road thwomps are actually invincible thwomps. The difference with regular thwomps is that wheb you collide with them instead of simply bumping or being stuck you act like if a racer with a star hit you.
Actually Mario Kart 7 removed that one strange shortcut bounce mushroom to the left at the very start, so it is a downgrade And completely neutrally, there’s 3 mushrooms on the right path into the cave instead of 2
the best retro tracks for me in 7 and 8 are when they use the mechanics of those games, 7 being the flying and underwater and 8 being 0 gravity

I feel like I just subbed to a channel thats on the verge of getting a big break Keep at it man, there's good stuff here, I hope you can achieve your dreams while not feeling confined
the difference between thwomps and star thwomps as shown in the super circuit section is that star thwomps spin you out if you bump into them, while still retaining the ability to crush you i think
0:43 I think you can Scratch that on the Mario party series when they made Mario Party superstar saga! We all know about that!
GCN tracks in DS and Wii tracks in 3DS are like demake
Good vid! I personally thought that the MK8 retro tracks butchered the nostalgia of some of the soundtracks. SNES Rainbow Road’s music is still good, but doesn’t hit like it did in MK7. Same with Toad’s Turnpike. And I think that N64 Rainbow Road just was kinda butchered in some ways.
I dunno why, but I was hoping to see at least one "It's worse, I like it".
I'm really glad MK8 is still getting love
Does anyone else miss the thing in N64 yoshi valley where everyone on the map was a question mark and you couldnt tell who was in first?
mk8 snes raibow road is also larger than it was in order to host 12 players making it far easier
as a super circuit superfan, i have to disagree on cheese land and ribbon road. the appeal to me was always that the tracks were difficult, with constant steering inputs needed to stay on the road in cheese land, and the manner of needing to hit nearly every boost panel on the lap in ribbon road to stay with the pack. idk. i dont really play with items on and more do it only for the racing quality of tracks so i probably have a different view than the wide majority of people. I will say that i LOVED the recreations of Snow Land and Boo Lake in the booster course pass, as those really felt like loving tributes, while Sky Garden looks like shit with the new layout.
You just need to insert Mario Kart Tour’s nitro tracks to compare with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe retro tracks.
GCN in DS look like a demake Wii in 3DS also look like a demake
When can we expect Mario Party 8?
They forgot the monster tree sound when you get out of the mansion from the track: Luigi's Mansion in Mario Kart Tour.
Are you at one point going to do the Tour retro tracks and the Booster Course Pass?
I Love Playing Mari Kart! 👍🏻
also for mushroom gorge you forgot that they removed a shortcut due to a bug that you could perform on mario kart wii

Mario Circuit 3 also has the dash panel and oils in the SNES version, I dont know why they arent there for you, maybe its in time trial or so? And Mario Circuit 2, the oil is in the SNES version as well.
for the missing wiggler bus, let ma say that you can race a wiggler on this track (mission mode only)
Man I never played MK Wii 😭 I gotta play it. Getting myself a Wii ASAP
Actually, Cheese Land Has 3 Glider Ramps.
the selection of retro tracks in MK7 is probably my favourite in the series but I kinda wish they held back on some of the retro tracks for base MK8 instead of choosing the four best tracks from Wii. The 3DS' limitations led to them all feeling like watered down versions and I don't understand why they keep replacing the bridge with a glider ramp in Maple Treeway, the bridge was so much more interesting.

Its a mystery how they fumbled the gcn retros so much in ds. Ive seen custom retro gc tracks as mods for mk ds that actually do stay true and run native on ds
6:36 Well... there's still the Wiggler _Boss_ on DS.
I just wish they would find a really good way to remake SNES and GBA tracks really well. Also, Wario Stadium,Wario Colosseum, Rainbow Road DS & Wii, and so many more courses need to be remade too.
did you change the title of this video with "Booster Course Pass" since that wasnt announced in 2021 yet
I feel like 7's Kalimari Desert is worse because unlike the N64 version, the train is smaller and doesn't make you stop very often so the train is pretty much just decoration in a normal race now which is a shame because it was hilarious seeing all the other racers stop or crash into the train.
i like the misspell on wario stadium in mario kart 8 from wario stadium to ds mario stadium
I can’t wait to hear what you think about coconut mall on the switch cuz 😬 it’s worse I don’t like it.
GBA Mario circuit is also flipped horizontally in MK8
I think the wiis trick system made all the retro tracks (especially waluigi stadium) better
But @CowFoodYum dino dino jungle looks worse Because It Removed the crystals in the cave And removed a pink dinosaur
did you know the the laugh of the twomp is a slowed and lower pitch of wario's laugh in mario kart 64
They bring the Wiggler Bus back to Mario Kart Tour
how do they leave toads turnpike on Mario kart 8?
it’s better. i like it.
Technically, Mario kart 8 deluxe's nitro tracks are retro tracks because they were first featured on Mario kart 8 regular and not on the switch edition. The only not retro tracks are the two fzeros, animal crossing, Hyrule circuit, super bell subway, wild woods, dragon driftway, sky high sundae, excitebike arena, and ice ice outpost. Don't tell me they're dlc. They're brand new tracks for eight deluxe.

About mario party...
Honestly, I think all of the Wii tracks in MK7 are actively worse because of the forced-feeling addition of glider ramps and underwater sections. It takes some very creative parts of the originals, like the pipe in Koopa Cape and the net on Maple Treeway, and makes them feel a lot more generic imo.
Mario Kart 7 tracks in Wii tracks but worse but he dosen't like it *Add more Decoration or even better graphics lol* Also Tour retro tracks are better 14:39 should add Kalimari Desert 2 lol
On mk8 Rainbow road n64 it looks great but your not on the course for long, vvish it had 2 laps.
but still you were better off playing the original tracks in Super Circuit, like Shy Guy Beach, infact, don't include retro tracks until Mario Kart DS, but the architecture for the DS should have been half a Gamecube or quarter of a Gamecube, just like how the Wii was 2 Gamecubes in one
