How about Squeaky Clean Sprint?

8 seemed to really love Super Circuit. Every track taken from the game (except Sky Garden) really felt like the developpers evolving the ideas of the original track without the limitations of the GBA keeping it down. From the y-axis used, to the remixes to stuff like Boo Lake having a lake, they really have set a bar for retro tracks. Sidenote: I think it's really cool that Ribbon Road has basically the same theme but in widely different styles and speeds making them somewhat indistinguishable.

One aspect I love a lot about ribbon road is that apart from matching color, the gameplay gimmicks of each section also match the toy castle you drive through. Red section has signs showing it's peach's castle, so it's the simplest and easiest with toads on the side. Green section is bowser's castle, so it has the enemies in the form of mechakoopas. And blue section is rosalina's castle, so it is anti-gravity, floating, and has wavy sections, like the galaxy games, or rainbow road.

GBA tracks always make the best retro tracks and I think the reason for this is because they are flat and outdated, but unlike SNES tracks they have very strong themes and interesting layouts that you can do a lot with and improve upon.

Ribbon Road in MK8 is not only an S tier track on its own, but the second best track in the series imo, only behind Mount Wario

Something cool about the ribbon road remake is that rather than being in one giant castle like area you go through multiple different castles throughout. It explains why there are mechakoopas on the green ribbon.

One concept for a level by level video could be comparing similar tracks in the game (i.e. Ninja Hideaway and Dragon Driftway, Cheep Cheep Beach and Dolphin Shoals, The Mario Circuits, etc.)

Not gonna lie, I've absolutely been CONSUMING your level by level series on Mario Kart since I just bought the DLC tracks. You earned a sub!

Ah yes, Cheese Land. The sandbagging capital of MK8D.

Yeah, GBA Sky Garden got the short end of the stick. Track Layout has been heavily simplified, and it has no anti-gravity in which, theme wise, would make perfect sense.

Ribbon road has always been my favorite track in the game because pink and red. No seriously that's basically the whole reason

As someone who still enjoys Cheese Land, I can't in good spirit claim it to be a good retro track. The original track was meant to take place on a cheese planet, with an alien starry night background and an infestation of little Mousers. The Mario Kart 8 remake just turned it into a generic daytime desert theme, removed the Mousers, and decided to randomly add Chain Chomps since they had the asset leftover.

I love this idea, please do more like this!

As much as I like the Cheese Land remake, I definitely prefer the cheese moon aesthetic of the original. I think it would have worked really well with Mario Kart 8's anti gravity. It would've been really cool if the entire track was in anti gravity to fit the moon theme. I still definetly liked all the gameplay changes I just wish they kept the moon aesthetic

It's ok, I still wish that the remake was kept closer to the original (music, track layout, etc). Nintendo took out too many turns.

This has got to be one of the best youtube channels on the youtubes

When I saw Cheese Land and Ribbon Road in the DLC for Mario Kart 8 on Wii U, I almost thought that these were completely new courses. Cheese Land went through a noticeable change, from a lunar atmosphere to a cheesy desert. It's not one of my favorites, but the upgrades are appreciated. I have a soft spot for Ribbon Road in Super Circuit; the brightly colored background and catchy bitcrushed music wowed me upon first sight in 2005 and continue to captivate in 2023. Even so, 8 did a good job sprucing up the vibe by having Ribbon Road take place in a child's bedroom. The background is adorned with all sorts of Mario toys that would have been the envy of 6-year-old me. A pleasant Level by Level video, Mr. Odyssey Central.

it's a me a waluigi from super smash brothers ultimate deluxe!

Great analysis. I think Waluigi Stadium rivals Cheese Land and Ribbon Road in terms of its remake. The beautiful look and the added upper anti-gravity paths elevates the track to new levels.

But Odyssey, Shy Guy Beach from MKWii is obviously the best retro track in the series! What other track involves hazards that explode like bob-ombs???

this type of level by level is significantly better than the level by levels of mario odyssey in my opinion, i think its because what you go through in the odyssey levels really doesn't seem to help through just how linear you make a mostly open world game instead of something as actually linear like this game i'd like to say tho, either way these videos are all still just genuinely funny and informative anyway

I never had Mario Kart super circuit growing up. So when I first play Mario kart 8 deluxe, I thought Cheese Land was a brand new course

Ribbon Road is def the better of the two imo, it feels completely knew while still paying homage to the original respectfully. I disagree with Cheese Land however, I personally prefer the parade of the whole ‘moon is cheese’ thing, and the removal of the mice and replacement with Chain Chomps doesn’t make much sense to me. Also the track lends itself to sandbagging (I think that’s what it’s called anyway), which I’m not that fond of with those 2 last minute shortcuts. I can see why ppl love it, but I’m more on the negative side personally. Still, another excellent watch, I love seeing other people’s views on things like these so I found it enjoyable, have a nice day to whoever reads this!

Fun fact: the red section in ribbon road is styled as a princess peaches castle or mushroom kingdom, the green section is styled as a bowers castle and the blue section is styled upon a rainbow road space theme. All you have to do is look at how the walls and entrances to each part to see why. It’s a fun detail that no one ever seems to notice or bring to attention. I adore ribbon road for this

2:53 I'm a DS Desert Hills fan and I'm proud of it (although my favorite dessert track is Dry Dry Ruins).

It’s pretty clear why the original retro tracks are better than the booster pack ones. The booster pack tracks are just basically taken from Mario Kart tour. When they originally made those retro tracks, because it’s a phone game they weren’t able to put in as much detail. Obviously Nintendo could have just actually re-made the tracks or atleast put in more details for the tracks when they get out on 8 deluxe, but they didn’t so…

odyssey central when he sees a table in a living room (it helps strengthen the theme)

"The best retro tacks" the only 2 that are basically completely changed

I think you can also add Boo Lake in the "most changed retro track" since they finally added the lake

9:33 jokes on you, the mario kart live is mine and not my little brother's, he gets nothing.

Hard agree. Us OGs were spoiled during the Mario Kart 8 Wii U DLC. The attention to detail is insane. Ribbon Road is an absolute spectacle

Seeing how good retro trakcs can be makes me even more sad about what they did to sky garden

I hope Mario Kart 9 gives us GBA Bowser Castle 4 which would be completely different from the original like these tracks are. That track is so big it could even be turned into a 1 lap track

@R S J Bowser Castle 4 is so unsettling. You're just in this giant rook with a high ceiling and no windows or anything. And then the room is filled with tons of lava and giant industrial gates and 2 giant glowing balls with Bowser's face on them with tons of cables going into then going around the whole room. This track in particular would be so great with a glowup to see the background better and see what the devs do with it

Like N64 Kalimari Desert and DS Peach Gardens, there is potential for GBA tracks to have the Lap change gimmick from Tour. Most particularly Bowser Castle 4 and Rainbow Road. If BC4 wasn't hectic enough in terms of Track layout, imagine adding even more extra turns that lead to new routes. For RR, instead of the narrow path being a faster route, have that part branch into a new path and have you drive backwards into the final lap.

I actually agree with Odyssey's opinion. By the way, before killing Sky Garden listen to the Mario Kart Tour version of Sky Garden's music remix.

8’s GBA Ribbon Road is probably my favorite track in the series, besides maybe RRWii. The aesthetic was nailed, the attention to detail is off the charts, the difficulty is perfect for the Bell cup, the shortcuts are risky but satisfying to pull off, and the pacing is wonderfully smooth. If it wasn’t for Neo Bowser City, Bell cup would have been my favorite cup in the series.

Cheese Land appreciation you love to see it 🙏🙏🙏

I agree a lot but I think something important to point out is that tracks from games that are more similar to 8 have less opportunity to be changed. Mostly talking about courses from 3DS and wii, you can't really do a whole lot with them, so while they are "worse" in that they don't update the track as much, the track really couldn't be altered that much without fundamentally changing it. Other than very small sections like the moon given anti gravity.

I’ve never played Super Circuit, so actually seeing the specific differences makes me appreciate the retro tracks a lot more for doing so much. However, now that I learned about the rats on Cheeseland I wish they were still here 😔😔

Odyssey Central I hope GBA - Bowser's Castle 4 comes to Wave 4 because this retro track can really work by changing the Track with some elevations (like they did with Cheese Land, Ribbon Road, Snowland and Boo Lake). They can also change some parts of Track with Anti Gravity, adding spin boosters and a flying section. And also they can add electric zappers, Mecha Koopas and lava Geysers for this New remake version. 🙂 [Opinion] - And Please Nintendo make a great layer that we can finally see Bowser's Core... 🥺🙏

With Sky Garden it's changing the layout and design in a way that worsens the track for many people. The layout changes end up too simplified where the challenge of the original is taken out and is too simplified. While there are some cool additions (like going under the beanstalk shortcut) it doesn't have enough to replace the fun factor of driving in the original the original. Then the design aspect is ruined by replacing the path from the iconic mossy road and yellow clouds to a eh brown brick road and plain white clouds. Overall it doesn't stand out much, especially when a similar track like Cloudtop Cruise has tons of elements that were used in the 8/Tour version of Sky Garden (White Clouds, a short cut across leafs, bouncing on a platform, beanstalk), Alongside the fact that Cloudtop Cruise implements them much better and still has tons of extra cool stuff like driving on an Airship or dodging lightning.
