Honestly, I think I prefer the hedge maze from the original DS version. Sure, from a visual standpoint it’s definitely prettier now, but the maze was so simplified and dumbed down. There was a fun challenge in navigating all the hedges and for the most part not being about to see what was around the corner of each one you passed. In fact, that’s like the main thing I remembered of the course, so it feels a bit weird to have the signature aspect (to me) of a track removed like that.
I knew those corners didn't feel as interesting, didn't realise they'd removed flower patches there. Also a shame the maze is much smaller. Honestly I still love the Switch version a lot and it looks great visually, but it feels way less interesting to play than the DS/Wii versions did
@@knuclear200x Eh I'll take it. $25 for 48 fun returning tracks (18 of which most haven't played because they were Tour) in a game that already has 48 tracks, plus new features, track types and balance changes and a really nice clean colourful artstyle. Better than 16 new tracks and 16 returning tracks in a new Mario Kart for triple the price just for the sake of a new gimmick
Just wanna say another thing since tour there are now only 2 chain chomps in the maze On the final lap in MK8D the chain chomps in the hedge maze change their route As well as the chain chomp at the start will go the opposite direction once players have gone over the the peak of the slope near the hedge maze glider ramp
Does anybody remember that mission from Mario kart DS on that you have to race backwards against Bowser? I think that is what they got the idea for the track in mk8d
Mario Kart DS IS so nostalgic to because Mario Kart DS was My first ever Mario Kart game what i Have Been played when I was a Kid and Peach's Garden was positive surprise when IT was comes Mario Kart 8 deluxe's dlc. Mario Kart DS IS one of greatest Mario Kart game with Mario Kart Wii. 🔥🔥
Tour remakes are honestly really good (few exceptions like Sky garden). They may not be the best lookers, but they tend to change things that may not have been necessary but they make since. The nice make over in 8 have been relatively nice looking with meh geometry. (Small rant while I have it on my mind.. how in the hell is toad circuit so ugly? 1. Obviously we got better textures in the base game, but WE HAD BETTER IN WAVE ONE?! the grass in shroom ridge may not had detailed, but it wasn't this ugly piss color, I don't understand?)
This was one of my favourite courses as a kid. The new version looks great, and I love the character topiaries, but it's a shame its much more open now
@@barelyhere7200 you've got to be joking? that's your reasoning? those are nit-picks at best LOL. I thought your reasonings were something like the graphics, and even that would be a nit-pick seeing as how the track doesn't even look bad
@@barelyhere7200 the second half of your reply is like.... what???? you're seriously nit-picking the removal of a path that was never useful to begin with
@@WritingCountingOriginal I still like the course and yeah I know they’re nitpicks. I just think the course would’ve been better if those things were changed
Honestly peach gardens is the most overrated track in the dlc the 3rd lap is cool but they removed the flower patches, the maze is smaller and there's only 2 chomps, no more item box behind the chomps, piranha plant section nerfed, no more ramps at the end... A giant NERF
You know that the BCP tracks are ported from Tour right?? Plus 8dx is the one who stills Tour's Nitro tracks, we all know Ninja Headway and Merry Mountain are Tour tracks exapt the ones didn't play Tour 🤦♂️
Its got more going on overall, the layout may be simpler, but makes up for the fact the final lap is in reverse, and tbh what was taken away wasn’t that significant to matter, it’s honestly the most fun and interesting the course’s ever been

Oh, they change? Good catches! There's always something else to spot when it comes to drastic redesigns like this.
There also are only 2 Monty Moles now instead of 3 from Tour now that I reassess that.

@@ChiefMedicPururu oh really
What about the mission where you race a runaway Chain Chomp?
Can you do “All Boo Lake Differences Over the Years | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 3 DLC” next?
Granted.
This was always such a fun cute stage, and I adore the coverage. I didn't realize it had so many other versions. Fantastic work, as always.
Whats interesting is in Tour, while the moles don't make trails in normal race mode. In reverse tracks, they do.
Regardless of time zones right now, i wish you all a Happy New Year. May this year bless you all with health, love and whatever else you desire.

It’s the last lap for me, I love the ending when you fly through the grass statues!! Gets me every time ❤
I hope everyone had a great 2022!!
See you in 2023!!
Love this track!
Mathew describes things very well.
Thank you! That means a lot! (And thanks for watching!)

It's interesting to see how many minor changes there are between the Tour and Switch versions, instead of the latter just being a straight copy.
This was one of my favourite courses as a kid. The new version looks great, and I love the character topiaries, but it's a shame its much more open now
Oh nice!
Thank You
You're welcome!

Happy New Year!
In spite of being simplified in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it’s actually my favorite version of Peach Gardens!
The version on switch is good but feels a bit neutered
how so?
@@WritingCountingOriginal The ramps on the side of the track being gone and The right side of the Mario sculpture being blocked off is pretty lame
