The dolphin shoals one. Technically, Tour is MK9, and there is one water start line... on Singapore Speedway R/T. It's above the water though, so it doesn't count. Also, in the Big Reverse Races, I think you start underwater on Cheep Cheep Lagoon. (But that's not a start line.)
Pretty sure by the logo that "Princess Orange" is supposed to allude to Daisy. EDIT: Also, the Sunshine Airport announcer is referring to "Boomerang Bro *Airlines*" as in the in-universe brand.
there's another neat little detail to the fact at 11:58-i'm not sure if you didn't know this or just forgot to mention it, but the reason that yoshi specifically sings totaka's song is because kazumi totaka is also the voice actor for yoshi! i think that makes it one of the coolest versions of his song, even if it's not as iconic as others that are harder to find. as many composers as there have been across the mario series, i can't think of any others who got to sing their own song in a game like this
6:41 @Fuffina Here’s two things: The name of this track in the Japanese Version is “Sky Garden” the same name as the GBA track. The song for cloudtop cruise has a small bit of the song “Gusty Garden Galaxy” from Super Mario Galaxy. Fitting for this high flying course!
just a little tip, it would be helpful to show the visual easter eggs you're talking about, like the twisted mansion luigis or some of the advertisements. just makes for a better viewing experience when i can see what you're talking about. good video despite that 👍
8:14 There are several differences between the song used for GBA Mario Circuit in MK8 and Super Circuit. It turns out they based the arrangement off of the theme used for the beta version of the game.
I wonder what his source was, because I genuinely can't find any information anywhere about that being the basis of the N64 train I'm not saying he's incorrect, but I can't find where he got that information
Fun fact, in tbe German version, there's one other course with a 1 word name. And that one happens to be Music Park. It's called Instrumentalpiste. Electrodrome is Diskodrom. So it stays a 1 word name
So, something notable about Cloudtop Cruise is that its music has a section that is a remix of Gusty Garden Galaxy, plus that it has two themes, one for the normal cloud sections and one for the one where there are electric clouds, which also happens in other tracks in the game like Water Park, Dolphin Shoals and Super Bell Subway. Also, it Japanese name is the exact same one than of Sky Garden. So now with the Booster Course Pass those two tracks are in the same game, and the only thing that differences their names in Japanese is the GBA prefix on the latter. Other thing about GBA Mario Circuit is that the music in 8 is a remix of the beta music of the course, not the final one. There is footage of a beta version of Mario Kart Super Circuit/Advance and in there the music of Mario Circuit has a difference in the melody than the one in the final game. The remix in 8 is based on the melody of the beta version. versionruclips.net/video/wDhN6TBJu5k/видео.html
10:00 There is actually another track that had a similar jump in cup position. SNES Mario Circuit 3 was a Flower Cup Track in Super Mario Kart, but was moved all the way to the Lightning Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It is the biggest track jump towards higher difficulties, while Donut Plains 3 is the biggest track jump to lower difficulty. A case could also be made for GBA Sky Garden being moved from the Lightning Cup (in SMK it would have been a Flower Cup track), to… the Lightning Cup in MKDS.
Only finding this video now this is so interesting to me that in sunshine airport, you can hear the PA system, announcing for birdo to head to the information council and how there are no birdos in the crowds in the game and now with the booster course DLC we got birdo as a playable character this is probably just a coincidence, but I’d like to think they would do this on purpose lol
The date on the Shy Guy Metals sign is also symbolic, since Shy Guys have been in the Mario series since 1987, with Doki Doki Panic. There's a bit of Gusty Garden Galaxy tucked within the Cloudtop Cruise soundtrack. Piranha Plant Slide is also known as Piranha Plant Pipeway, which sounds a bit nicer given the theme. Also @5:05 Birdo's coming, folks!
You relate to neo bowser city for being able to touch the starting banner, but you don't include the DLC tracks that don't have gliders like baby park or excitebike?
About Electrodrome and 1-word-name tracks: In French, the name of the track is Club Mario But there are 3 tracks of which French name is only one word : Champiville (Mushroom City), Koopapolis (Neo Bowser City) and Champidrome (Mario Kart Stadium)
Ah well now we know why Birdo isn’t playable in this game, she’s on holiday! For a very long time, mind. It would’ve been great to see this Luigi pixel in Twisted Mansion, but I need to look up this Grumble Volcano shortcut in more detail
I found the Sunshine Airport audio interesting since Birdo became playable in MK8 DX. Interesting foreshadowing from Nintendo or they were gonna add Birdo into the main roster, but was pushed to DLC.
An obscure fact about Bone-Dry Dunes I found out while listening to the music is that it (the song) might be a remix of Moo Moo Meadows made to blend in the desert theme
Pretty sure Mario Circuit is actually supposed to look like an 8 when viewed at a certain angle, same goes for rainbow road which has 3 different 8s when viewed from a certain angle. Also cloudtop cruise uses the last part of gusty garden galaxy in its music, not really an obscure fact i guess but not everyone would notice it
The track layout in Wario Stadium is a bit different to the original one on the DS. And the train (the locomotive and carriages) share the same basis with Thomas, Annie and Clarabel from Thomas & Friends
For DK Jungle, I believe Grumble Volcano is also the same, although there may be a subtle difference that I was unaware of. For Wario Stadium, you can also hit the goalpost on Water Park, Toad's Turnpike, Tick-Tock Clock, and maybe N64 Rainbow Road and Cheese Land although I'd have to test those ones out. (Shroom Ridge wasn't out when he made this video, so it doesn't count either)
First of all, yes, you can hit the start line in Cheese land. Second, the theme for Grumble Volcano and also Mushroom Gorge are different than their originals.
A little know fact about cloudtop cruise is that one part of the song is actually a part of the gusty garden Galaxy song from Super Mario Galaxy, which is a great reference.
In donut plains 3 the whistle that can be heard in the GBA soundtrack only plays when the player is in first. It also has a completely different rhythm
In sunshine airport you can see flights listed on the screens near the starring line that shows flights going to other tracks, similar to the ones in super bell subway
Fun fact In Superbell Subway there is a map right at the starting line that map is the city underneath N64 Rainbow Road and the reference key tells you that Moo Moo Meadows is just beyond the Mountain behind The Starting line on N64 Rainbow Road plus the reference key tells you that Northeast of the middle of the city is Toad Harbor don’t believe me take a look for yourself
I get that you're stretching this fact a bit, but I couldn't help myself. GBA Mario Circuit technically isn't the first track simply named Mario Circuit. N64 Mario Raceway is known as N64 Mario Circuit in the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64.
Princess Orange references Princess Daisy, NOT a secret cousin of Princess Peach. 🤦 I loved when the intercom at Sunshine Airport mentions Birdo. And guess what? Birdo is a confirmed playable character in 8 Deluxe-VIA DLC.
I really loved thr video, just feel like i need to correct something you got wrong with GBA Mario Circuit, it wasn't the first to be name just Mario Circuit, that title goes to Mario Raceway due it's Japanese name is just Mario Circuit.
on sunshine airport, the comms mention Birdo and Bommerang Bros. on MK8 Deluxe, Birdo is now a officially playable character in the bundle edition……… do u see where i’m going with this?
Oh, so there is an 8-bit Luigi painting in 3 different locations in Twisted Mansion? That’s so cool! I sure do hope that he actually shows these pictures that he is talking about! *oh*
I couldn't catch the word at 11:35 "in the ___ version of the game". What was it? Melody Motorway/Music Park is one of three tracks I know of with more than one English name. Piranha Plant Pipeway/Piranha Plant Slide and Koopa City/Neo Bowser City are the other two.
4:28: ??? Galaxy Airlines. Flight 2218, passenger Miss Birdo, please proceed to the information counter on floor 2. Passengers departing on Galaxy Airlines flight 2580 bound to board Dolphin Shoals, should proceed to customs(?) and immigration at this time. This is the final boarding call for Boomerang Bros International Airline flight 117A to Sweet Sweet Canyon departing from gate 3.
Was Ribbon Road not in 8? It's one of the ones in 8 Dlx. I like the most. Other than that tho, great video! Honesly, you're quite underrated, I must say.
The Train in N64 Rainbow Road is not an E2, the E2 is a British locomotive while the train and coaches in the game are clearly based off of American designs, where the hell did you get that it was based off of the E2?
Hope you guys enjoyed this video! It's been a while with no uploads, so sorry about that.
What was your favourite fact?
Hey Fuffina! Is there anything for the next/last MK9IM Video?
The Yoshi hum was so wholesome
The peach Statue of Liberty being in n64 rainbow road was amazing
I have Mario kart 8 deluxe booster course pass,I hope you have that😊

In sunshine airport you can see koopa troopa beach from N64
I know it’s so cooollll and if we get Koopa Troops Beach in the DLC I hope we can see The airport from the beach
That isn't obscure :)
It's better than nothing though! At least that's how I see it.
@@FabulousMarioBros nah i would've prefered nothing. nothing tastes sooo goooooood

I thought "huh I've never seen that, let's see it" and he never showed it what the heck
13:15 Dragon Driftaway has a gong playing and Tour Ninja hideaway both have sound effects that play in the opening cutscene but not during the music
I love how you put a chapter for EACH track instead of like other RUclipsrs who put it every 5 tracks.
thats auto chapters not manual
@@nileprimewastaken OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Makes sense.

I think when the intercom in sunshine airport says “boomerang bros” I think that just means Boomerang Bro Airlines
BBIA
WE HAVE BIRDO
background in Tick Tock Clock works with the song, moving alongside the theme. In the final lap the background accelerates too
i just wanna say for such a small channel your audio quality, editing and generally the way you talk is super professional, keep up the good work
i find it funny that the n64 train is based off the same model that thomas the tank engine was based on
I was gonna say that lol
I wonder what his source was, because I genuinely can't find any information anywhere about that being the basis of the N64 train
I'm not saying he's incorrect, but I can't find where he got that information
It's not true though, the Train in the game is clearly an American based design while the E2 is a British locomotive
I was gonna say that as well
@@mmmrrreeeooowwwthecat8183
To me, it looks more like the Narrow Gauge Engine, Skarloey. If you compare the two, you'll see what I mean.

You need to look more closely at that image. Those are snowflakes, not moons.
Thank god I thought I was the only one to notice 😂

_Super Mario Bros. 2_ came out in '88.
@@EireProductions Doki Doki Panic, the game reskinned into Mario USA, was released in 1987. This is also the first instance of Shy Guys.
@@ZTimeGamingYT Yes, well, you said S.M.B. 2 before you edited the comment.
@@EireProductions That was my bad, I was really rushed at the time and SMB2 was the first thing that came to mind.

About Electrodrome and 1-word-name tracks:
In French, the name of the track is Club Mario
But there are 3 tracks of which French name is only one word : Champiville (Mushroom City), Koopapolis (Neo Bowser City) and Champidrome (Mario Kart Stadium)
Also in italian figure 8 circuit is Ottotornante
Here's another Mount Wario fact. The rocks that have boost panels are the same thing from Sky High Sundae's ice cream cone that you glide through.
Finally! An obscure fact video about facts that are actually obscure!
Ah well now we know why Birdo isn’t playable in this game, she’s on holiday! For a very long time, mind.
It would’ve been great to see this Luigi pixel in Twisted Mansion, but I need to look up this Grumble Volcano shortcut in more detail
I found the Sunshine Airport audio interesting since Birdo became playable in MK8 DX. Interesting foreshadowing from Nintendo or they were gonna add Birdo into the main roster, but was pushed to DLC.
they most likely didnt play the booster course pass 8 years b4 release
It’s also worth noting that Kazumi Totaka also voices the yoshis. So that is Totaka himself humming Totaka’s Song.
5:07 Who would’ve thought that Birdo would then be added to 8 Deluxe 5 years after its release?
Pretty sure the two moons in Sherbet Land are actually snow flakes close to the camera
The fact that they refrenced birdo specifically 💀
I have 500+ hours in this game and i still didnt know that twisted mansion fact, now i will go look..
An obscure fact about Bone-Dry Dunes I found out while listening to the music is that it (the song) might be a remix of Moo Moo Meadows made to blend in the desert theme
Wait. The train was based on an E2? Thomas in Super Mario is confirmed
4:28
So that’s why Birdo isn’t in the game. She’s on vacation.
Pretty sure Mario Circuit is actually supposed to look like an 8 when viewed at a certain angle, same goes for rainbow road which has 3 different 8s when viewed from a certain angle. Also cloudtop cruise uses the last part of gusty garden galaxy in its music, not really an obscure fact i guess but not everyone would notice it
I NEVER NOTICED THAT ON CLOUDTOP CRUISE IN MY 5+ YEARS OF PLAYING 8. OH MY GOODNESS
10:30
i thought grumble volcano also re-used the same music when I heard them both
Nice job on this!
Cloudtop Cruise's theme incorporates a small portion of the Gusty Garden theme from Super Mario Galaxy towards the end.
The track layout in Wario Stadium is a bit different to the original one on the DS. And the train (the locomotive and carriages) share the same basis with Thomas, Annie and Clarabel from Thomas & Friends
This is an underrated video!
For DK Jungle, I believe Grumble Volcano is also the same, although there may be a subtle difference that I was unaware of.

You can in mario Circuit as well!!
First of all, yes, you can hit the start line in Cheese land.
Second, the theme for Grumble Volcano and also Mushroom Gorge are different than their originals.
A little know fact about cloudtop cruise is that one part of the song is actually a part of the gusty garden Galaxy song from Super Mario Galaxy, which is a great reference.
In Shy Guy Falls, the shy guys don't start animating until GO appears at the countdown.
The song of cloudtop cruise contains the Gusty garden song of SMG1.
In donut plains 3 the whistle that can be heard in the GBA soundtrack only plays when the player is in first. It also has a completely different rhythm
The Cloudtop Cruise music has some Gusty Galaxy music in the end
Maybe this would be better cuz everyone loves Gusty Garden
Nice video!
Now do the other 64 tracks.
5:24 Not anymore, with the addition of Piranha Plant Cove
I honestly saw it coming with the BCP.
In sunshine airport you can see flights listed on the screens near the starring line that shows flights going to other tracks, similar to the ones in super bell subway
In cloudtop cruise a bit of gusty gardens theme is thrown into the soundtrack
Excellent video! I play this game religiously and only knew about 5 of these facts; I really feel like I learned a lot of neat stuff, thank you!
Fun fact In Superbell Subway there is a map right at the starting line that map is the city underneath N64 Rainbow Road and the reference key tells you that Moo Moo Meadows is just beyond the Mountain behind The Starting line on N64 Rainbow Road plus the reference key tells you that Northeast of the middle of the city is Toad Harbor don’t believe me take a look for yourself

Melody Motorway is a way cooler name than Music Park, I'm surprised they didn't use that title everywhere.
Wii's rainbow road isnt the longest track in that game. That status goes to the retro track n64 bc

A cheep cheep can jump out of the water just after the pier. I've seen it
5:05 boomerang bro for next dlc wave?
Ah yes, back when Birdo wasn't in the game. Good times
It would be a vast improvement if you always showed the clip / played the sound you're talking about. Otherwise nicely researched video.
10:30 doesnt Grumble Volcano also use the same song as the original?
How did you get the idea that the train on Rainbow Road is based on an E2?
Funny how he thinks mariokart 9 will ever actually happen, and we won’t just keep getting re releases and dlc for mariokart 8
I always thought the orange juice in sweet sweet canyon was honey
the orange princess juice thing has daisy's insignia on it
2:15 i always thought it was corn syrup

You deserve more than 80 likes lol
You just got a new sub in me ❤️
Bruhhhh the chad loved a comment from a 9 month old video :00000
Will you do the Booster Course Pass
11:40 Same with Koopa CIty/Neo Bowser City.
8:42 mario raceway is actually named mario circuit in japan
the fact about the train on N64 rainbow road is straight up wrong
if you drive backwards arfter u use the glider in piranha ps you can land in the underwater area
edit: only in the 8 version not 7
How come the person in the background gameplay never trails items to block red shells?
I thought that was carmel water in sweet sweet canyon.
The Train in N64 Rainbow Road is not an E2, the E2 is a British locomotive while the train and coaches in the game are clearly based off of American designs, where the hell did you get that it was based off of the E2?
2:10 I thought it was lemonade
Mario Kart Wii has a Mario circuit? In the flower cup
