Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass was just announced in its entirety! I don't plan to make any more videos about it, but if you want to know my thoughts: Four of the eight courses match all the leaks, but the positions of Boo Lake, Peach Gardens, and Rock Rock Mountain were switched, and we got Maple Treeway early instead of Waluigi Stadium. This actually matches with a leak late last month from the same person who leaked the prefetches, so it wasn't completely unexpected. Notably, this reduces the credibility of the tag leak and to some extent the prefetch leak, but I wouldn't give up all hope with them yet. I think Nintendo caught onto everyone predicting the entire DLC and swapped around the order of the releases where they could. Alternatively, they could have just been more finished with Maple Treeway than Waluigi Stadium, but that doesn't explain why the other courses were swapped around. Moreover, I don't think these are the only swaps they've made through the rest of the DLC. I would still expect the same courses with prefetches to release eventually, but perhaps in a different order. However, this throws the whole debate about empty slots and courses without prefetches out of wack. Also, this means we're still waiting for a GCN course to release in the DLC, even though there were supposed to be at least four. At this point, the DLC is no longer completely predictable. Props, Nintendo! On another note, Boo Lake, Rock Rock Mountain, and 3DS Rainbow Road are getting anti-gravity sections that don't last the entire course, and Boo Lake is also getting an underwater section, which is exciting! It helps to make these courses feel more like they were designed for this game instead of just being ported from Tour. Maple Treeway is also getting a half-pipe section, and more footage of Merry Mountain's anti-gravity and half-pipe section was shown. It's worth noting that a recent Twitter ad from Nintendo UK shows even more gameplay of that same section in splitscreen, including how the half-pipe behaves in-game. Also, am I the only one who doesn't like the new Berlin Byways remix? It's very different from the original, and it sounds muddy and bland.
Agreed on the theory of nintendo swapping out courses specifically because they heard about the leaks and so far nothing has debunked the idea that nintendo already has its courses all planned out and they just need to finish them for both Deluxe and Tour. They swapped out a previously assumed wave 3 track (that notably hasn't come out on Mario kart Tour yet) for a previously assumed wave 6 track (that notably was already out on Mario Kart Tour) so the count on how many games from each previous mario kart are going to be in the booster course pass still applies even if nintendo has clearly swapped around the order in reaction to the leak. No more N64 courses coming and Waluigi Stadium is just coming in a different wave than originally leaked. With Boo Lake having come out on MTK in the recent Halloween Tour, it's safe to assume that Peach Garden is coming on Tour soon and while they are now trying to make specific sections of some courses anti-gravity on the DX version they aren't actually changing any of the geometry of the tracks from their MKT versions (both RR 3DS and Boo Lake GBA are already on Mario Kart Tour). These courses are a nice addition to DX but are still mario kart tour tracks but with better textures and parts of the course flip on the anti-gravity mode switch. Safe to say that every single track coming to this boost pass over all 6 waves will be one of three categories: - already out on MKT - not out on MKT yet but will come out on MKT before being released on booster pass (like Boo Lake coming out on Tour approx a month before being announced for DX) - will come out on MKT shortly after DX (like with Coconut Mall and Sky-High Sundae) And assuming that all the tracks planned for the booster pass are also being planned for tour that further confirms your theory about a Yoshi's Island themed course and a "Bathroom" course coming in future waves. Sidenote: I wonder if the bathroom themed course in wave 6 is going to be a pikmin themed course with pikmin style massively oversized objects for the purposes of hyping up Pikmin 4.
Every time I see airship fortress in someone’s predictions, I feel extremely happy. Don’t really think it affects Nintendo’s ideals or ideas, but nonetheless, and (imo) the best rainbow road ending off the dlc? Great
we're not getting airship fortress sadly. it's going to be Delfino Square. Because it'd datamined in Tour (like Shroom Ridge etc), and, you can see it 2 times in the leaked image. And, if the leaks are true, we'll only be getting one more DS course. So, no way Airship Fortress is coming.
I didn't mention it in the video, but the images that were supposedly Delfino Square were actually Los Angeles Laps and Amsterdam Drift. Delfino Square is likely coming to Tour, but it isn't any more likely to appear in the final DS slot than Airship Fortress. It could be one of the blank spaces, but I wrote and recorded the script for this video before those leaks came out.
@@turners064 I mean, I honestly have no clue if it is or not, I just have some false hopes. I do think delfino square is more likely as airship fortress was in 7 (I think), but I am not a dater miner so I don’t know.
Finally a really-well made video about this topic! It feels really good to be able to know that there's someone else out there who put all of the clues together in a realistic way. I did this work by myself just out of curiosity (I even did the 3.75 calculus for the city tracks and 1 brand new per year, I was blown up when you showed it) and never thought there would be someone who did the same. I usually never comment on videos, but this one really got me. Plus, the organisation of the speech is excellent, the effects of the video are on point, everything about this videeo is perfect. Excellent job! Looking forward to more :)
I should clarify why I chose the retro courses that I did to fill the blank spaces, since lots of people are asking about it, and I didn't do the best job of explaining it in the video. I figured that blank spaces could just indicate any data that is not yet finalized, which could mean new Tour courses but could also mean retro courses that aren't finished yet in Tour. According to Mario Wiki, here's a list of courses with assets in Tour that are not yet released for Tour or 8 Deluxe yet, as of the time I finished recording the script for this video: GBA Yoshi Desert - PillarAgbyd GCN Mushroom Bridge and/or GCN Mushroom City - CarBomb, CarHanachan and CarMushroom (Hanachan = Wiggler) Wii Dry Dry Ruins - PillarWiiddr and SandHillWiiddr 3DS Wuhu Loop and 3DS Maka Wuhu - ClownWuhu and RockWuhu After I finished recording the script for this video, GBA Boo Lake, GBA Lakeside Park, DS Delfino Square, and other courses were potentially leaked for Tour based on an alphabetical ordering of courses in Tour that had gaps, which would likely confirm Boo Lake over Broken Pier. Also, GBA Bowser Castle and GCN Waluigi Stadium already line up with slots that are labeled, and DK Mountain is unlikely to appear in the same DLC as Dino Dino Jungle, so I didn't consider them. Since the blank spaces all occupied the third and fourth slots in their cups, it didn't make sense to put a Circuit course there, which eliminated N64 and DS entirely. This left GBA, GCN, Wii, and 3DS. 3DS deserved a slot because 3 slots is not enough for the 10 courses that could possibly come over. GCN deserved a slot because it was clear that they had plans for GCN that they were waiting to act on. Then you have GBA and Wii, both of which are already overrepresented in this DLC and at the time only had desert courses left to provide, and I chose Wii largely due to my bias. There's a possibility that they include 3 new Tour courses so that each wave gets one, in which case neither GBA nor Wii would get an extra slot. Also, no, I don't think they'll be RMX courses, as that would be a strange and anticlimactic end to the DLC, and SNES Mario Circuit 3 kinda deconfirmed that for me. Also, I should justify my choice of Luigi Circuit, since a lot of people think it's a complete waste. The point of this is to predict what will happen, not be a wishlist of all the best courses that could return. We've seen that Nintendo is not shy of putting filler courses in the DLC, and I don't think that will be any less likely as the DLC progresses. Also, I personally think GCN Luigi Circuit is one of the better circuit courses of the entire series because of the shared road in two directions.
Now that it's confirmed that halfpipe ramps are making a debut in mario kart 8 (thanks to merry mountain's inclusion as shown in the new trailer), I have extremely high hopes for GCN Waluigi Stadium when it's revealed, and Wii Dry Dry Ruins and Wii DK Summit if they also show up in the future. These courses were greatly improved by the halfpipe ramps in Wii and I feel like they would be worse off without them.
Waluigi Stadium does have a chance to bring back ramps since it was previously used on MKWii, But the other 2 are likely not going to make it thou since GBA Sunset Wilds is another desert themed track and hopefully SNES Vanilla Lake 1 or 2 should be added because of the banner from Wii's Coconut Mall was shown
6:20 not to mention the Yoshi's island track being in the fruit cup would make so much sense because the fruit in the cup logo is one of the fruits from Yoshi's island
My theory with the blank tracks was that they would be RMX tracks. So each DLC wave would have an original course, and the final wave would have RMX Rainbow Road and RMX Bowser Castle. Also, I am very skeptical about DK Summit. It is visible twice in the banner, but the half-pipes are such a prominent part of the stage that I'm not exactly sure how they are going to work that out, unless they add an entire new mechanic to the MK8. To me, this remains the biggest mystery of the DLC.
With a battle mode confirmed for tour, the Wuhu tour leak may end up being for the battle course, rather than the race course. (Especially because it's already in 8 DX, making it easier to make a high poly tour version rather than having to redo it directly from 7) Just a theory though.
Good point. If that were the case, that slot might be reserved for a track like 3DS Bowser's Castle, or the bathroom course from Tour could move there and you could get a course like Shy Guy Bazaar at the end of the Acorn cup.
@@CheesyLizzy I looked it up and apparently, in the August 2015 DLC files (when the Mercedes collab was released), the track codename “SandTown” was found. This is the in game codename for Shy Guy Bazaar in MK7’s files. Cheese Land and Ribbon Road’s codenames were not found in these files yet, suggesting they were planned much later in development, and eventually replaced Shy Guy Bazaar. Honestly, I would’ve taken Shy Guy Bazaar over Cheese Land in a heartbeat, but I’m glad we got Ribbon Road.
What a well-made video! I didn't realize there were quite so many asset leaks being pulled from Mario kart tour, and you showing the names of the ones that were is very convincing. Also I never even considered that the later ones' prefixes being blank might just be placeholders. I hope you're right about all this, because if so, i think this would be the definitive Mario kart experience
I’m happy with your predictions cause it has my 3 favorite tracks ever (dk summit, dry dry ruins and airship fortress). I think dk summit and airship are likely but I’d be surprised with ddr
Ah, I see you are a fellow Dry Dry Ruins enjoyer. If it weren't for the Tour leaks, I wouldn't have put it in my predictions, and I would be as surprised as you if it appears.
this is a good list, but i'd make some changes: 1. unless they bring back half pipes in mk8 (which is unlikely), i don't think bringing back dk summit is a good idea, considering how much of that course is half pipes (EDIT: half pipes confirmed lol, forget this point) 2. while the image leak is reliable for courses that weren't released in tour yet (sky high sundae and waluigi stadium), it isn't really reliable for predicting the courses in the booster pass. for example: snes choco island, donut plains, vanilla lake, and mario circuit 2 were in the image, but there's only one snes slot available
1. It's more likely than you think, since Tour already did it. If not, they could maybe incorporate antigravity somehow. Regardless, I think that track is likely to come back, and I support that. 2. I agree, that's why I said at the start that I wouldn't be referencing it much. I only referenced it for Waluigi Stadium to clarify the music leak.
This is 100% my Wii bias talking, but I think the half pipes are equally as important to Waluigi Stadium as they are DK Summit (even though, yes they weren't there in double dash so it can definitely be made without). I will be very disappointed (more than I already am that Waluigi Stadium was picked, lol) if Waluigi Stadium doesn't come with half pipes!
With tour adding an updated boo lake. I think that track will be present instead of broken pier. Rest or the tracks, well have to wait for the next wave of datamines to come out
9 Tracks in the right place (Including 2 of the unknown city tracks), 3 tracks in the wrong place but right cup (would be 4 if Broken Pier had been Boo Lake), 5 in the wrong cup but right wave (1 unknown city), 6 guessed correctly but in the wrong wave, and 9 completely wrong. Good prediction!
I really hope Wario Colosseum makes it to the DLC eventually. And for Wii Rainbow Road, I'm so glad this guy agrees with my thoughts. It's my favorite MKRR of all time!
They actually meant add Toad's Factor from some leaks I have seen, and also they even used those conveyor belts from Toad's Factory in a course in a Tour course, so HOPEFULLY they’ll add it to the booster course pass! Edit: the course is called Singapore SpeedWay 2, I don’t think Singapore 1 has the conveyor belts from the videos i have seen.
Here are the 5 remaining tracks on my MK8D dlc wishlist and I really hope they make it! 1. Daisy Cruiser (My favorite track in MK history and three current tracks hint this one is coming back!) 2. Rosalina’s Ice World 3. Maple Treeway 4. Moonview Highway 5. Dino Dino Jungle
Good Vid. Some thoughts: - Sucks they aren't remaking Wario Colosseum, but it might not have made a difference anyway since I would have wanted it remade with anti-gravity portions inside the sphere and clearly they aren't doing any true anti-gravity stuff (as in sections being anti-grav rather than just what they did with Sky High Sundae) for this DLC. - Every single wave has had at least one non-city tour track. Wave 1 was NInja Hideaway (it's listed as new in the track list rather than Tour), Wave 2 was Sky High Sundae, And Wave 3 is clearly going to be Merry Mountain. Wave 4's blank slot will likely be a non-city Tour track, and Wave 5's final course will probably be New (maybe the Bathroom course) as well rather than Dry Dry Ruins. - The fact that wave 6 has 3 "new" slots could be explained with them picking 2 RMX tracks from Tour (such as RMX Ghost Valley 1 or RMX Vanilla Lake 1 or a not yet released RMX track). That would also leave open the possibility that the SNES course isn't Vanilla Lake 1/2 if they are picking Vanilla Lake 1 as an RMX course.
I can see them including 3 new Tour courses, but that's pushing it. And I don't think they would cram the last wave full of RMX courses, as that would be a very anticlimactic end to the DLC.
Interesting. I think getting any additional content besides the courses is optimistic at best, but one can only hope. The game is making them boatloads, but it already took 5 years just to get new (old) content. Looking forward to more wii and 3ds tracks, they got done a little dirty if you ask me.

Tbh with DK Summit, Koopa Cape, and Maple Treeway practically just waiting to be confirmed, I’d prefer Dry Dry Ruins over Rainbow Road since it’s also my second favorite desert course in the series though it’ll be odd not finishing off the booster course pass on a Rainbow Road track. Also I’m seriously hoping the last DS track is Airship Fortress. I kind of accepted DK Mountain won’t be coming back and the rest of the GCN and Wii courses chosen are fine by me but I seriously want Airship Fortress back since it’s the only DS track alongside Waluigi Pinball that I really really like lol
Maple Treeway as already been confirmed by the same leaker who both leaked the entire pass and also revealed 15 of the 25 remaining tracks and 8 of them are in the next wave that was completely leaked last month or after the 2nd wave was released.
@@courage1363 Oh by confirmed I meant confirmed by Nintendo directly via a trailer or teaser. It is confirmed 100% by leaks because of the audio files for sure.
@@goombuigi6904 I saw it’s awesome it’s back though I’m still not 100% convinced it’ll be back I feel like Nintendo could definitely do some weird choices. I’m hoping we get Waluigi Stadium, Daisy Cruiser, DK Mountain, and Dino Dino Jungle back (all GCN courses in Tour) though Idk if they’d choose two tracks with the same themes to them so if one gets shafted I hope it gets replaced with Mushroom City.
Our predictions for characters is exactly the same except instead of Captain Falcon I put King Bob-Omb. But I like your choice better, I agree Captain Falcon is long overdue!
I hope the leaks are right about every track in wave 3, but I also hope it comes out before New Year’s Eve this year. Anyway, I kind of disagree with Dry Dry *Ruins* here, because we’ve had Dry Dry *Desert* for 5 years now, and I feel like it would be redundant to add another track with “Dry Dry” in the title. Uh, maybe Toad’s Factory could go there to get some respect?
It would be strange if they waited until the start of next year, and not just because it would break their "pace". If they have a Nintendo Direct this month and it mentions Wave 3, I don't think they would make us wait four months for it. Plus, it's really easy to sell stuff during the holiday season. Sadly, the Tour leaks don't point to Toad's Factory, since conveyor belts are everywhere in Tour. Thankfully for me, I also love Dry Dry Ruins, so that's a compromise I'm not too sad about. And again, I don't think they mind "conflicts" between the base game and the DLC.
@@L1N3R1D3R Remember what they did with Smash Ultimate and the Arms reveal in February, and then revealed Min Min in June? This is Nintendo we're talking here, DLC reveals are always awkward.
@@L1N3R1D3R Again, these are just predictions, so Toad’s Factory could happen. And it may not even be right that we won’t be seeing anymore N64 tracks. Because datamines and leaks aren’t always right, y’know. You even said Dry Dry Ruins just because you like that track. Anyway, here are MY predictions for the mystery city courses: 1. Moscow Mix-up, which would be a track going around the busy streets and sick landmarks of Russia. We’d even go through the St. Basil’s Cathedral. 2. Seattle Climb, which would just be 1 big lap, Mount Wario style. Lap 1 would take you through the city, so you get to see the Washington Skyline. Lap 2 would just be a highway, with classic details like item boxes, boosts, and maybe a glide over a lake. Lap 3 would be a trip up Mount Rainier, hence the name of the track. And like in Mount Wario, you’d stop when you reach the summit. 3. Cairo Crunch, which would go through the urban and desert parts of Egypt. It’s like Bone Dry Dunes or Dry Dry Desert but for Tour. What do you think of these ideas?
@@fridaynightfunkinfan5627 I never said I chose Dry Dry Ruins "just because I like that track". There are Tour datamines that have assets labeled "wiiddr", which makes it likely based on my theory of the blank spaces. The only assets that could have pointed to Toad's Factory related to conveyor belts, which are now in Singapore Speedway as well as a few RMX courses.
In the non-city track category: I think there will be a Super Mario movie inspired track and it should be in the wave 4 replacing Dry Dry Ruins in the double cherry cup. I feel like promoting the movie in the most popular Switch game should be doable if we look at it in Nintendo's eyes.
This DLC is already promoting Mario Kart Tour pretty heavily. I'd be surprised if we got a Mario Movie course in the meantime, especially before anything referencing Odyssey or other modern Mario games.
As much as interesting is Broken Pier. But recent findings found out that it's GBA Boo Lake for this October's Tour event (due to it called TL or something with Teressa in the file names). Said leak mentions GBA Lakeside Park, DS Delfino Plaza, and other tracks. For only 4 Wii courses (based on Banner Leak(not the game's ads in Coconut Mall or whatnot), it's DK Summit, Koopa Cape, and Maple Treeway. As for the 4th one, this is based on the Tour Leak and it's Dry Dry Ruins. As much as everyone expects Rainbow Road (due to personal bias to everyone) to be the last for Wave 6, it's either one of the 4 tracks I've mentioned. I don't personally think that the game's banners and advertisements in places like Coconut Mall are legitimate but rather just easter eggs and cameos. Everyone suspects that Vanilla Lake is coming in Wave 2 because of the Banner Leak but it's GBA Snow Land. I've also made a similar list on Discord and little traction on my Twitter. As for the missing prefixes, I don't think it's a placeholder but rather we're going to have new Tour tracks that aren't city based. Two were speculated to be a new Yoshi course (yi) and some aquatic course (yu).
Interesting! How recent was this leak? I never found it in my research. I had no idea that Boo Lake was called Teresa Lake in Japanese until now. Also, I would love to see Lakeside Park remade in 3D, but I sadly don't have room for it in my predictions for this DLC. As for your other comments, I'll probably stick by my predictions, as I've already laid out my reasoning.
These aren't confirmed. In fact, according to the most recent leaks (which happened after I finished writing and recording the script for this video), we're likely to see Boo Lake in Tour pretty soon, which would likely transfer over to this DLC. I'm not too bummed, though.
Im just kinda going around watching predictions videos hoping ill see Toads Factory. The music is so fantastic and i like the track as well. I really do hope it still gets in regardless.
Imagine if 3 of the blank spots are actually going to be the Tour RMX tracks and the final SNES track would be a Bowser's Castle (The only SNES track style that has never been brought back besides in Super Circuit). And that we'd get RMX Ghost Valley, RMX Choco Island 1 & RMX Vanilla Lake. But the blanks being placeholders is also a good idea.
MK8 don't have U-turns, DK Summit will be boring without it because it's core gameplay of this track, so...maybe Toad Factory? Just reuse Singapore's asset will be ok. I think one blank might from MKDS because Double Dash had reused most music, so NGC Luigi Circuit might be not in because it reused Yoshi Circuit's music, and Waluigi Pinball is a special case for its popular, I guess it won't happen after that...
I'm surprised nobody's brought up the theme of the berry cup as evidence towards the Yoshi's Island track, especially considering how random of an item choice it seems to be otherwise. I get that the name of a cup doesn't always line up with the tracks it contains, but considering the Rock Cup ends with Rock Rock Mountain and the Moon Cup ends with 3DS Rainbow Road, the track whose defining feature is being able to drive on the moon, I think it's reasonable to assume the cup themed around the item only Yoshi can use would end with a Yoshi-themed track.
Wuhu Island would be nice as there’s already a Wuhu Town battle stage, so they can reuse assets if necessary (it ha the bridge and everything too). It would also make sense for them to just make a new Wuhu track entirely as one of the blanks.
The reuse of assets is one of the reasons why I thought a Wuhu track would be likely for this game. Someone else brought up the idea of an RMX Wuhu Island course, which I don't think would ever happen. Also, if they make a new Sports-themed course, I would imagine that it would be based off Spocco Square instead of Wuhu Island.
@@R_wir3 I didn't want to go above and beyond in my predictions beyond the courses, as I wanted to keep it more realistic. I also wouldn't want to know how much lag a 99 player Mario Kart would have lol
It was datamined for Tour before the pass was announced. The announcement for this even stated that they were "Remasters from across the series", no new nitro courses for 8 DX.
I like how you consider the tour leaks. With that in mind this is a very competent track selection but I hope you're wrong and we get Bowser's castle 2 just because I didn't liked that tour changed the cool blue style from the original
You're in luck! I also don't like that track. Luckily, this is GCN Luigi Circuit, which is way more interesting because you drive in both directions on the same road.
Here are my predictions for the remaining waves: Wave 4 Fruit Cup: 1. Tour Amsterdam Drift 2. Wii DK Summit 3. DS Mario Circuit 4. Yoshi's Island Boomerang Cup: 1. Tour Singapore Speedway 2. GCN Mushroom Bridge 3. GBA Luigi Circuit 4. Tour Los Angeles Laps Wave 5 Feather Cup: 1. Tour Madrid Course 2. Wii Koopa Cape 3. GBA Sunset Wilds 4. Tour Orlando Course Cherry Cup: 1. Tour Bangkok Rush 2. GCN Daisy Cruiser 3. SNES Vanilla Lake 2 4. Piranha Plant Cove Wave 6 Acorn Cup: 1. Tour Vancouver Velocity 2. GCN Waluigi Stadium 3. DS Airship Fortress 4. 3DS Rosalina's Ice World Spiny Cup: 1. Tour Athens Course 2. GCN Dino Dino Jungle 3. GBA Bowser's Castle 4 4. Wii Rainbow Road
Great Video and a great selection of courses. I hope they bring the following courses back: DS Luigis Manison, DK Pass, Wii Bowsers Castle 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar, Wario Shipyard.😉 This are my favorites wish courses: Rock Cup: Amsterdam Drift (Tour), Peach Gardens (DS), Broken Pier (GBA), Rock Rock Mountain (3DS) Moon Cup: Merry Mountain (Tour), Wario Stadium (GCN), Bowsers Castle (Wii), Rainbow Road (3DS) Fruit Cup: Los Angeles Laps (Tour), Koopa Cape (Wii), Airship Fortress (DS), Koopa Troopa Beach (N64) Boomerang Cup: Berlin Byways (Tour), DK Mountain (GCN), Lakeside Park (GBA), Wario Shipyard (3DS) Feather Cup: Bangkok Tour (Tour), Maple Treeway (Wii), Sunset Wilds (GBA), DK Pass (DS) Cherry Cup: Vancouver Velocity (Tour), Daisy Cruiser or Peach Beach (GCN), Vanilla Lake 2 (SNES), Shy Guy Bazaar (3DS) Acorn Cup: Singapur Speedway (Tour), Moonview Highway (Wii), Luigi´s Manison (DS), Sherbet Land (N64) Spiny Cup: London Loop (Tour), Dino Dino Jungle (GCN), Bowser´s Castle 3 (GBA), Rainbow Road (Wii) That are my wishes for the next waves 😁.
This seems to be nearly 100% likely. Lots of cool tracks, but the sheer abundance of tour tracks really brings the whole thing down. It would be insane if they followed this up with a booster course 2, as that would allow nearly every remaining track to make it in
Tour tracks don’t bring it down. They’re new tracks to a lot of people and just because they’re from a mobile game does not make them more basic or lame. The only reason you’re salty towards the Tour tracks is because you don’t like Tour, I bet you haven’t even seen most Tour tracks lmao.
@@WritingCountingOriginal Except almost every tour track added has been mid to bad. If being new to a lot of people is their only redeeming quality, I'd rather they just pick good familiar tracks
@@WritingCountingOriginal Paris, Tokyo, Sky High Sundae are all just plain bad. New York and London are kinda meh. Ninja hideaway is poorly designed. I liked Merry Mountain, but it's still relatively basic. If they were to only choose the best tracks from across the series, so far only Sydney is the only one even worthy of being considered.
@@conehead2099 well look up Los Angeles Laps, Singapore, Bangkok, Vancouver, and Amsterdam. Those city tracks aren’t quite as basic as the first 6 they’ve added thus far. If you still don’t like those Tour tracks, then I think you only hate them because you hate Tour
one of the things that's ticked me off about the dlc is that a lot of the courses feel like "safe picks" or "easy ports" like waluigi stadium, even though wario colosseum would not only be far more interesting, but has been sitting exclusively in double dash, has never been remade, and nobody really talks about it i also think them remaking so many courses that were remade in 7 is a little weird but it's not my game, and i enjoy it regardless, even though i don't agree with all of the choices made for it
It would be neat if Reverse Mode flipped the _order_ of the tracks too (like you're doing a Grand Prix of the Propeller Cup in Reverse Mode, and you start on Sky-High Sundae and end on Sydney Sprint)
The fact that most of the blank spaces are bunched up at the end of the DLC leads me to believe that they're placeholders. However, by that logic, I figured there must be some reason why they would know the other prefixes and not those, which is what led me to Tour leaks. It's only "retro course bias" because it matches the trends that exist in this DLC and Tour. I'll eat my words if they are all new courses.
@@L1N3R1D3R I am just praying that they aren't new courses honestly, sky high sundae over any of the many missing 3ds courses makes me feel very pained inside my soul
As a fan of Wario Colosseum, I refuse to believe that we're getting another Waluigi course 2 waves in a row. As much as I love Waluigi, I just grew up struggling to beat Wario Colosseum and hence I've grown to love it
I would have prefered that where the bathroom course is that add like Luigi's Mansion instead because I love that track from the DS and tour but also love Airship Fortress so it would be nice to see them both in the game instead of 1 over the other
I would honestly swap Maka Wuhu for Bowser's Castle since we don't have Bowser's Castle remake in 8 Deluxe (Ik you predicted GBA Bowser Castle 3 but I'm talking about the Bowser's Castles that aren't flat if you know what I mean). Other than that great predictions! Also I actually did not know that there was a Yoshi's Island and a bathroom track leaked. Those sound fun honestly. For some changed for the game itself I'd say Add a new engine class either a reverse mode since Tour has reverse tracks or 200cc Mirror Mode. They could go the extra mile and add Mirror Mode for 50, 100 and 200cc but I doubt they would add Mirror Mode for every other cc. Just 200. Fix the item balancing. There's times where you can just get slapped in the face by like 9 red shells. I kid you not, I had a race one time where I had quite a big lead, I was 10 seconds away from the finish line and got hit by like 9 reds. I still won but I would have been pissed if I had lost since I frontran the race. There are other thing that need to be fixed for item balancing like the whole room getting stars, bullet bills, golden mushrooms, etc most of the time which makes it near impossible to gain any placements (this only happens most of the time when first has a big lead). Add 96 races on vs mode when every track is released. I don't why Mario Kart 8 Wii U didn't add 48 races when all its DLC released so I hope they do 96 for Deluxe. Add more characters like Birdo, Diddy Kong, Petey Piranha and Nabbit to name a few. The character roster is really stale and more original characters would make the game much better. Even add some alternate costumes for each character. Mario could get Fire Mario, Builder Mario, etc. They could even make Tanooki Mario an alt for him even tho he's a separate character from him but they could definitely work around that. Add more vehicle parts. Tour has a bunch of karts and gliders that the could port over and Wii has some bikes that they could port over. Bring back the Dolphin Dasher, Poltergust 400, Wild Wing, Daytripper, Flame Runner, Sugarscoot, Dry Bomber and stuff like that.
I totally would have picked a different Bowser's Castle course for this DLC if it lined up with what we knew and my intuitions, but sadly it doesn't. Item balance is definitely a flaw with this game. I wouldn't give the most powerful items to anyone but the bottom positions, no matter how far ahead 1st place is. I don't know, I feel like vehicle parts are the least important part of a Mario Kart game. Courses are obviously the most important, and characters are important enough to consider.
The item you receive is based on your placement and distance from first place. The reason why this works is because it prevents frontrunners from being untouchable and giving racers in the middle of the pack a chance to catch up. It may be annoying to you, but that doesn't warrant the item distribution reverting back to how it was in previous titles. A better solution to 'perfecting' the item balance would be to not have fist place receive Bob-ombs in exchange for red shells, and adjust the lock on speed for red shells and spiny shells on 200cc.
I think Wii Bowser's Castle is more likely for the end of Wave 5. Dry Dry ruins doesn't really feel like a "Finale" course like the others do. Wii Bowser's Castle would fill in the lack of Bowser's castles. The issue is that Wii Bowser's Castle uses a lot of half pipes in one section, and already feels similar to MK8's Bowser's Castle.
I also like Wii Bowser's Castle, but you have to remember that that slot was originally a blank space. It could be a new Tour course, or it could be a course that wasn't finalized yet. This indicated to me that it was in the process of being made in Tour but wasn't done yet, which led me to the Tour leaks. The only games that had substantial courses were GBA (Yoshi Desert), GCN (Mushroom Bridge/City), Wii (Dry Dry Ruins), and 3DS (Wuhu Loop/Maka Wuhu). Since GBA and Wii are both overrepresented and both desert courses, I went purely by preference there. To avoid more than one course from a single game in the same cup, I ordered it in this way.
That falls under the minor changes to tracks that I want. I didn't want to list them all because that would take too much time, so I just said the most egregious one (after the Coconut Mall cars), the grass.
They prob will do that like they did with the update with the cars in coconut mall. I’ve also seen people do mods of waluigi pinball where your racing on the green part of the road/carpet and it ends when you jump off
Definitely the most in-depth and thoughtful predictions for the BCP that I’ve seen, but I have a disagreement. If 2 or 3 of the slots with no prefix are non-Tour retros, then I feel one of them should go to N64. You said 3 isn’t enough for 3DS, yet N64 only has 2 and they’re already released. You also gave an extra slot to Wii, which statistically has the most courses in this pass behind Tour, which I feel is pretty well represented already. Finally, I think it would make sense if every wave had a Tour nitro, as seems to be the case with the first three waves so far. Therefore, this would leave us with 2 extra slots in wave 6, which I think should go to N64 (banshee boardwalk?) and 3DS (bowser’s castle or maka wuhu)
For 3DS, I said "3 isn't enough for how much it's represented in Tour". 3DS has 10 courses in Tour that aren't already in MK8, yet only 3 in the DLC. N64 has only 5 such courses (and 4 while I was recording the script, before they announced Luigi Raceway), so having only 2 in the DLC isn't quite as shocking. You're kinda right about my Mario Kart Wii bias, but according to my theory for the blank spaces, the only fitting replacement in terms of leaked courses in Tour would be GBA, which is also overrepresented. I think 3 new Tour courses is the absolute maximum we could get, but your reasoning makes sense.
I mentioned at the start of the leak section that I wasn't going to be mentioning the banner leak much, because it can be deceiving and it mostly confirms what we already know. I only brought it up for Waluigi Stadium because it helps to clarify the music leak.
@@B0ssguy I worried that if I referenced it any more, then people would ask me where so-and-so track is because they could somehow make out a clear image from 10 pixels. DK Summit and Koopa Cape are pretty obvious, but they're also both in Tour already, and Wii is already getting more courses in this DLC than there are in Tour (even without my extra slot), so they were kinda necessary to include. I also supplied Waluigi Stadium with Tour asset leaks, which are far more reliable in cases like this.
I dont see the blank slots WONT be retro or real city base tracks because both Ninja Hideaway and Sky High Sundae both dont have a label listed in either both Tour or retro, which is why the remaining blank slots will be in fact to be original tracks, plus the next wave after the leaked 3rd wave wont be revealed till the next direct on next year and during the remainer of this year i bet we should expect a few new nitro tracks to be shown and released during this year especially during October since Merry Mountain was the only holiday focused track we ever have SO FAR and i hope we get a original Halloween themed track to be shown during October to fit the theme and to go with 5th wave I HOPE. And as for the last DS Leaked track I STRONGLY dont see Airship Fortress to be one of them even thou its both popular and it was shown on Tour, but i dont see that being the case because i think the last DS track would be either: Desert Hills, Delfino Square or Yoshi Falls, because DS Peach Gardens was WKWii retro track that fit the 12 racers feature and one of my choices fits WAAAAY better than your pick.
They might make several new Tour courses, but unless they drastically change their plans, most of them will be city courses, and thus not qualify for a blank space. As for your DS choices, I don't see any of them being any more likely than Airship Fortress, and that course is a fan favorite.
Ur right to give 3DS another chance cause DS Shroom Ridge, Mario Circuit, and GBA Snow Land have not been remastered in the series, I hope they add some courses from Wii, GCN, and 3DS that have not been remastered. Especially Maka Wuhu from 3DS
Cairo was teased as a city course since day 1 in mario tour, since we can see see a pyramid in promotional material, thought it could be teasing desert hills from ds, but I kinda doubt that!
i agree with some of these choices and ill say which ones i disagree with -i don’t think we’ll be getting anymore circuit tracks, gcn luigi circuit also has the same music as yoshi circuit. although its not much of a problem as waluigi pinball and wario stadium have the same, i can’t imagine them doing it too much and for a track no one is really requesting. i would put dk mountain instead as its datamined for tour and i think it’d work well after singapore speedway due to the contrast -i dont think we’re getting vanilla lake, although its in coconut mall, other tracks are referenced in the game as well which arent in the game, i think in sunshine airport the lady says that we’re going to n64 luigi raceway (something similar to that). i’d say koopa beach as we’ve not gotten a proper beach track yet -i don’t think they’re adding another wii track we’ll already have 6 in the booster course pass. i would make the slot a ds slot as theres only 3 slots from that game and i’d put it to delfino square as i think its the most popular aside from what is already in mk8 -if there were another gcn course (acorn cup), i’d say this is were dino dino jungle goes (which you already have) but this is the space where i’d put delfino (the slot where ddr is would be a non city tour track) -for the last gcn track, i’d say wario colosseum. i know im being a hypocrite by saying gcn luigi circuit can’t get in because of music but i think it’s such a fitting course for the last cup in mario kart 8 due to the size and difficulty -for the 3ds slot, i think i’d be 3ds bowser’s castle because it’s tradition to end the cup with a bc then rr, although no retros have done this before, i think it’d make sense
You didn't need Wario Colosseum to be a hypocrite for repeated music, you already did that with DK Mountain and Dino Dino Jungle, lol. I think the distinction between base game and DLC is significant. We might not be getting proper beach courses, but we certainly will be getting summer-themed courses. If anything were to replace Vanilla Lake, I think it would be Ghost Valley. As for the blank spaces, if we're going by Tour leaks, the only candidate is Mario Circuit, and you said you didn't want any more circuit courses. I think Luigi Circuit is one of the best circuit courses, and it would be the best place to put a filler course.
@@L1N3R1D3R oh yeah, i forgot about dkm and ddj as i usually dont have ddj in my predictions. i think ghost valley is way too similar to boo lake imo im not going entirely off tour leaks (wario colosseum lol) but dkm is datamined for the game. the reason why i can’t see a circuit track is because we already have a lot in the game and 2 in the bcp and usually they’re starter courses, wave 4 isn’t starter (unless if they make the argument that the cups are at the left of the screen so it means it’s starter)
I think we'll have filler/starter courses sprinkled throughout the DLC. This isn't the base game, you don't need to progress in difficulty as you go on. This is a segmented DLC over two years, so each batch should have a variety of courses.
the music leak isn’t actually a music leak, it’s a prefetch leak. Also I see 3 of the “black spaces” being RMX tracks. If the Wuhu tracks were leaked for tour, and the 3DS is getting no new tracks, I see a RMX Wuhu Island coming. I also see a RMX Boswers castle and RMX Rainbow road coming. It would only make sense! Now if these are placeholders, I see 3DS Shy Guy Bazzar, Wii Toads Factory, A bowsers castle from any game, or N64 Koopa Troopa Beach.
Also here are my predictions: Rock Cup: * Tour London Loop * DS Peach Gardens * GBA Boo Lake/Broken Pier * 3DS Rock Rock Mountain Moon Cup: * Tour Berlin Byways * GCN Waluigi Stadium * Merry Mountain * 3DS Rainbow Road Fruit Cup: * Tour Amsterdam Drift * Wii DK Summit * DS Airship Fortress * (tour) Yoshi’s Island Boomerang Cup: * Tour Singapore Speedway * GCN Daisy Cruiser * GBA Bowser Castle/Lakeside or Riverside Park * Tour Los Angeles Laps Feather Cup: * Tour Rome Runaway * Wii Koopa cape * GBA Sunset Wilds * Tour Cairo Dash Cherry Cup: * Tour Bangkok Rush * GCN Dino dino Jungle * SNES Vanilla Lake * RMX Wuhu Island Acorn Cup: * Tour Vancouver Velocity * Wii Maple Treeway * (tour) Bathroom Blowup * RMX Rainbow Road 1 Spiny Cup: * Tour Italy Way * GCN Mushroom Bridge/City * RMX Bowsers Castle 1 * Wii Rainbow Road
Before Wave 2's announcement, I was hopeful that we might get RMX courses instead of SNES (or GBA Bowser Castle) courses, but I don't see that happening anymore. I also don't think that they would make an RMX version of any 3D courses, since that would essentially be a brand new course. The fact that most of the blank spaces are bunched up at the end of the DLC leads me to believe that they're placeholders. However, by that logic, I figured there must be some reason why they would know the other prefixes and not those, which is what led me to Tour leaks.
@@L1N3R1D3R actually, now that I think on it, re normally get huge blowups of GBA tracks that we’ve never seen (other then in tour.) We also normally get tracks that we aren’t expecting. (Technically Shroom ridge, even though we didn’t know the pass was coming.) Snow land for wave 2, Peach Gardens and Boo Lake for wave 3, I’m thinking Lakeside or Riverside Park for wave 4, instead of GBA bowsers castle, wave 5 would be RMX Wuhu Island, and wave 6 would be the RMX tracks and Wii Rainbow Road. It gives us something to be excited about for each wave, and gives us tracks that we all love and weren’t expecting… what do you think?
@@Roxleton I don't think they'd wait so long just to dump a bunch of RMX courses on us, since it would be a pretty anticlimactic end to the DLC when they could have remade proper 3D courses. Also, they've only made RMX's for SNES courses and GBA Bowser Castles, which are flat and have multiple variations (except SNES Rainbow Road). The closest thing they've done to an RMX of a 3D course is N64 Kalimari Desert 2 (laps 2 and 3 of Kalimari Desert in the DLC), which is hardly a substantial change.
@@L1N3R1D3R it’s only really 2 flat RMX courses that I predict, and they are some of the best ones tbh. The lightning cup on MK7 ended with SNES Rainbow Road, so it’s technically possibly. Also why would they just throw away the RMX courses? RMX bowsers castle 1 in specific because that had custom conveyor belts.
the leaks are real but they're %1000 not adding vanilla lake the coconut mall argument doesn't make sense because that track was originally designed for tour and was made for tour and vanilla lake is in tour and they added snow land those are way close to put both in and the next SNES track and the only one left is going to be Koopa Beach 2 it makes the most sense and it was found in the leaked image because they haven't added a beach course yet and the other SNES tracks in Tour won't/don't make sense come like choco island (we have choco mountain) vanilla lake, mario circuit all ready came, donut plains is already in the game and ghost valley we'll be getting Boo lake/Broken pier so they're too close Koopa Troopa Beach 2 makes the most sense plus it's found in the image and the only other SNES track is Bowsers Castle and leaked is we're getting GBAs bowser castle so it won't be vanilla lake
Vanilla Lake is definitely a pick I'm not too invested in, so I wouldn't mind a different course instead. However, I don't agree with your argument for Koopa Beach. I don't see any obvious signs of it on the banner leak, and there are still several more summer/beach courses they can port. I think Ghost Valley would be the most likely alternative.
@@L1N3R1D3R why we're getting boo lake/broken pier. Those lay outs are way to similar to each other wouldn't make much sense. Plus there's no other beach course in Tour so far. Except for Koopa troopa beach from N64 but we're not getting that
I want DS Bowser Castle in the game. I want them to add some bumps to the spinner to do tricks off of it, and I hope they keep the laugh when you enter the same because the compression makes it sound more sinister.
mobmd→Madrid mobat→Athens mobor→Orlando or ner Original track mobmu→Mumbai or ner Original track mobyi→Yoshi Island mobnu→under water mobbr→bathroom mobdk→NEW Donkey Kong track
As much as I love Luigi Circuit from Double Dash, it seems highly unlikely since Yoshi Circuit is already in the game. Instead, for my predictions I put GCN Bowser's Castle in the Spiny Cup and Dino Dino Jungle in the Boomerang Cup. Also I had GBA Yoshi Desert instead of Bowser Castle 3 because of Tour datamines, and though unlikely, SNES Bowser Castle 3 instead of Vanilla Lake 2. Honestly, I'd be happy with either SNES course, those two are among the only interesting courses in that game that aren't already in MK8DX. Also, after how consistently incredible 2022 has been for Tour, I fully expect it to come out with three new cities and five more original tracks by the end of 2023. '20 and '21 only gave us two cities and one original each, while in '22 we got three brand-new cities before the end of June, then Sky-High Sundae in August. At this rate, we'll get all our new Tour tracks before we know it
They already had DS Wario Stadium in the base game, and that didn't stop them from adding Waluigi Pinball, so I see no problem with adding GCN Luigi Circuit (unless you're just going by course theme). GCN Bowser's Castle would be cool, but it wouldn't make much sense as the second course in the Spiny Cup, with something else in between it and Wii Rainbow Road (which I assume you agree with). Alright, let's say that they keep their current pace, 3 city courses and 1 original Tour course in 8 months. In the next 16 months, that only gives them 2 more original Tour courses, as well as 6 more cities. I think this current pace is an anomaly, meant to drive in sales of the DLC and Tour microtransactions. Plus, if they were making this many new courses, I don't know why they would wait until the end of the DLC to release them all.
@@L1N3R1D3R I see Waluigi Pinball sharing music to be more of an exception than a trend changer, as it’s such an iconic course. As for GCN Bowser’s Castle, it’s a selfish personal choice, but the only one of my whole list. Finally, who’s to say they’re gonna keep the same ratio of cities to originals? The numbers line up, they could simply just phase out cities and do more originals
@@L1N3R1D3R I want ot say I think you're right on the mark with GCN Luigi Circuit because they JUST announced that track for the reprised Mario Vs. Luigi Tour starting next week.
They both debuted in DS, then were ported to 7, then were ported to Tour. In terms of how frequently they appear in tours, it's a pretty similar rate. Luigi's Mansion's first tour was October 2019, and it's been in 25 tours. Meanwhile, Airship Fortress's first tour was August 2020, and it's been in 18 tours.
I think airship fortress is more likely since it it is actually changed in it’s Tour appearance (like adding a Bar on the inside of the ship) while Luigi’s Mansion is exactly the same as it is in 7, And it would also be confusing to have a battle mode stage called Luigi’s Mansion and a track called Luigi’s mansion (with both having the same theme) tho that doesn’t say much since we saw what happened with Waluigi Pinball and The Rainbow Roads, but I still think Airship Fortress is more likely imo
My Wave 4 Predictions: Fruit Cup: Tour Amsterdam Drift, Wii DK Summit, DS Airship Fortress, And A Mario Movie Exclusive Course. For The Boomerang Cup: Tour Singapore Speedway, GCN Daisy Cruiser, GBA Cheep Cheep Island, And Tour Los Angeles Laps. Reason Why I Predicted A Mario Movie Exclusive Course In The Fruit Cup Is Because Both Wave 4 And The Upcoming Super Mario Movie Are Both Going To Be Released In Early 2023 And I Think It Would Be Perfect For Wave 4 To Promote The Upcoming Super Mario Movie
Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass was just announced in its entirety! I don't plan to make any more videos about it, but if you want to know my thoughts:
Four of the eight courses match all the leaks, but the positions of Boo Lake, Peach Gardens, and Rock Rock Mountain were switched, and we got Maple Treeway early instead of Waluigi Stadium. This actually matches with a leak late last month from the same person who leaked the prefetches, so it wasn't completely unexpected. Notably, this reduces the credibility of the tag leak and to some extent the prefetch leak, but I wouldn't give up all hope with them yet. I think Nintendo caught onto everyone predicting the entire DLC and swapped around the order of the releases where they could. Alternatively, they could have just been more finished with Maple Treeway than Waluigi Stadium, but that doesn't explain why the other courses were swapped around. Moreover, I don't think these are the only swaps they've made through the rest of the DLC. I would still expect the same courses with prefetches to release eventually, but perhaps in a different order. However, this throws the whole debate about empty slots and courses without prefetches out of wack. Also, this means we're still waiting for a GCN course to release in the DLC, even though there were supposed to be at least four. At this point, the DLC is no longer completely predictable. Props, Nintendo!
On another note, Boo Lake, Rock Rock Mountain, and 3DS Rainbow Road are getting anti-gravity sections that don't last the entire course, and Boo Lake is also getting an underwater section, which is exciting! It helps to make these courses feel more like they were designed for this game instead of just being ported from Tour. Maple Treeway is also getting a half-pipe section, and more footage of Merry Mountain's anti-gravity and half-pipe section was shown. It's worth noting that a recent Twitter ad from Nintendo UK shows even more gameplay of that same section in splitscreen, including how the half-pipe behaves in-game. Also, am I the only one who doesn't like the new Berlin Byways remix? It's very different from the original, and it sounds muddy and bland.
Agreed on the theory of nintendo swapping out courses specifically because they heard about the leaks and so far nothing has debunked the idea that nintendo already has its courses all planned out and they just need to finish them for both Deluxe and Tour. They swapped out a previously assumed wave 3 track (that notably hasn't come out on Mario kart Tour yet) for a previously assumed wave 6 track (that notably was already out on Mario Kart Tour) so the count on how many games from each previous mario kart are going to be in the booster course pass still applies even if nintendo has clearly swapped around the order in reaction to the leak. No more N64 courses coming and Waluigi Stadium is just coming in a different wave than originally leaked.
With Boo Lake having come out on MTK in the recent Halloween Tour, it's safe to assume that Peach Garden is coming on Tour soon and while they are now trying to make specific sections of some courses anti-gravity on the DX version they aren't actually changing any of the geometry of the tracks from their MKT versions (both RR 3DS and Boo Lake GBA are already on Mario Kart Tour). These courses are a nice addition to DX but are still mario kart tour tracks but with better textures and parts of the course flip on the anti-gravity mode switch. Safe to say that every single track coming to this boost pass over all 6 waves will be one of three categories:
- already out on MKT
- not out on MKT yet but will come out on MKT before being released on booster pass (like Boo Lake coming out on Tour approx a month before being announced for DX)
- will come out on MKT shortly after DX (like with Coconut Mall and Sky-High Sundae)
And assuming that all the tracks planned for the booster pass are also being planned for tour that further confirms your theory about a Yoshi's Island themed course and a "Bathroom" course coming in future waves.
Sidenote: I wonder if the bathroom themed course in wave 6 is going to be a pikmin themed course with pikmin style massively oversized objects for the purposes of hyping up Pikmin 4.
Every time I see airship fortress in someone’s predictions, I feel extremely happy. Don’t really think it affects Nintendo’s ideals or ideas, but nonetheless, and (imo) the best rainbow road ending off the dlc? Great
we're not getting airship fortress sadly. it's going to be Delfino Square. Because it'd datamined in Tour (like Shroom Ridge etc), and, you can see it 2 times in the leaked image. And, if the leaks are true, we'll only be getting one more DS course. So, no way Airship Fortress is coming.
I didn't mention it in the video, but the images that were supposedly Delfino Square were actually Los Angeles Laps and Amsterdam Drift. Delfino Square is likely coming to Tour, but it isn't any more likely to appear in the final DS slot than Airship Fortress. It could be one of the blank spaces, but I wrote and recorded the script for this video before those leaks came out.
@@turners064 That wasn’t Delfino Square in the banner, thst was Amsterdam drift.
@@turners064 Airship Fortress is already in Tour lol
@@turners064 I mean, I honestly have no clue if it is or not, I just have some false hopes. I do think delfino square is more likely as airship fortress was in 7 (I think), but I am not a dater miner so I don’t know.
Finally a really-well made video about this topic! It feels really good to be able to know that there's someone else out there who put all of the clues together in a realistic way. I did this work by myself just out of curiosity (I even did the 3.75 calculus for the city tracks and 1 brand new per year, I was blown up when you showed it) and never thought there would be someone who did the same. I usually never comment on videos, but this one really got me. Plus, the organisation of the speech is excellent, the effects of the video are on point, everything about this videeo is perfect. Excellent job! Looking forward to more :)
I should clarify why I chose the retro courses that I did to fill the blank spaces, since lots of people are asking about it, and I didn't do the best job of explaining it in the video. I figured that blank spaces could just indicate any data that is not yet finalized, which could mean new Tour courses but could also mean retro courses that aren't finished yet in Tour. According to Mario Wiki, here's a list of courses with assets in Tour that are not yet released for Tour or 8 Deluxe yet, as of the time I finished recording the script for this video:
GBA Yoshi Desert - PillarAgbyd
GCN Mushroom Bridge and/or GCN Mushroom City - CarBomb, CarHanachan and CarMushroom (Hanachan = Wiggler)
Wii Dry Dry Ruins - PillarWiiddr and SandHillWiiddr
3DS Wuhu Loop and 3DS Maka Wuhu - ClownWuhu and RockWuhu
After I finished recording the script for this video, GBA Boo Lake, GBA Lakeside Park, DS Delfino Square, and other courses were potentially leaked for Tour based on an alphabetical ordering of courses in Tour that had gaps, which would likely confirm Boo Lake over Broken Pier. Also, GBA Bowser Castle and GCN Waluigi Stadium already line up with slots that are labeled, and DK Mountain is unlikely to appear in the same DLC as Dino Dino Jungle, so I didn't consider them. Since the blank spaces all occupied the third and fourth slots in their cups, it didn't make sense to put a Circuit course there, which eliminated N64 and DS entirely.
This left GBA, GCN, Wii, and 3DS. 3DS deserved a slot because 3 slots is not enough for the 10 courses that could possibly come over. GCN deserved a slot because it was clear that they had plans for GCN that they were waiting to act on. Then you have GBA and Wii, both of which are already overrepresented in this DLC and at the time only had desert courses left to provide, and I chose Wii largely due to my bias. There's a possibility that they include 3 new Tour courses so that each wave gets one, in which case neither GBA nor Wii would get an extra slot. Also, no, I don't think they'll be RMX courses, as that would be a strange and anticlimactic end to the DLC, and SNES Mario Circuit 3 kinda deconfirmed that for me.
Also, I should justify my choice of Luigi Circuit, since a lot of people think it's a complete waste. The point of this is to predict what will happen, not be a wishlist of all the best courses that could return. We've seen that Nintendo is not shy of putting filler courses in the DLC, and I don't think that will be any less likely as the DLC progresses. Also, I personally think GCN Luigi Circuit is one of the better circuit courses of the entire series because of the shared road in two directions.
Now that it's confirmed that halfpipe ramps are making a debut in mario kart 8 (thanks to merry mountain's inclusion as shown in the new trailer), I have extremely high hopes for GCN Waluigi Stadium when it's revealed, and Wii Dry Dry Ruins and Wii DK Summit if they also show up in the future. These courses were greatly improved by the halfpipe ramps in Wii and I feel like they would be worse off without them.
Waluigi Stadium does have a chance to bring back ramps since it was previously used on MKWii, But the other 2 are likely not going to make it thou since GBA Sunset Wilds is another desert themed track and hopefully SNES Vanilla Lake 1 or 2 should be added because of the banner from Wii's Coconut Mall was shown
Dk summit wouldn't feel like dk summit without them
6:20 not to mention the Yoshi's island track being in the fruit cup would make so much sense because the fruit in the cup logo is one of the fruits from Yoshi's island
My theory with the blank tracks was that they would be RMX tracks. So each DLC wave would have an original course, and the final wave would have RMX Rainbow Road and RMX Bowser Castle.
Also, I am very skeptical about DK Summit. It is visible twice in the banner, but the half-pipes are such a prominent part of the stage that I'm not exactly sure how they are going to work that out, unless they add an entire new mechanic to the MK8. To me, this remains the biggest mystery of the DLC.
Mystery: solved!
this is one of my favorite prediction videos for the dlc yet !! praying for wii rainbow road
With a battle mode confirmed for tour, the Wuhu tour leak may end up being for the battle course, rather than the race course. (Especially because it's already in 8 DX, making it easier to make a high poly tour version rather than having to redo it directly from 7) Just a theory though.
Good point. If that were the case, that slot might be reserved for a track like 3DS Bowser's Castle, or the bathroom course from Tour could move there and you could get a course like Shy Guy Bazaar at the end of the Acorn cup.
@@L1N3R1D3R Shy Guy Bazaar was originally meant to be in the first DLC on the Wii U but replaced by Cheese Land.
@@RinaOfCuteness Woah really? Do you have a source for that? :o
@@CheesyLizzy I looked it up and apparently, in the August 2015 DLC files (when the Mercedes collab was released), the track codename “SandTown” was found. This is the in game codename for Shy Guy Bazaar in MK7’s files. Cheese Land and Ribbon Road’s codenames were not found in these files yet, suggesting they were planned much later in development, and eventually replaced Shy Guy Bazaar. Honestly, I would’ve taken Shy Guy Bazaar over Cheese Land in a heartbeat, but I’m glad we got Ribbon Road.
@@base4yrface I love how they remixed Cheese Land and I think it gets too much unnecessary hate but yeah I'd still choose Shy Guy Bazaar over it lmao
What a well-made video! I didn't realize there were quite so many asset leaks being pulled from Mario kart tour, and you showing the names of the ones that were is very convincing. Also I never even considered that the later ones' prefixes being blank might just be placeholders. I hope you're right about all this, because if so, i think this would be the definitive Mario kart experience
I’m happy with your predictions cause it has my 3 favorite tracks ever (dk summit, dry dry ruins and airship fortress). I think dk summit and airship are likely but I’d be surprised with ddr
Ah, I see you are a fellow Dry Dry Ruins enjoyer. If it weren't for the Tour leaks, I wouldn't have put it in my predictions, and I would be as surprised as you if it appears.
Overall this a a very reasonable predictions list. And if they add any new characters in the future, you've probably nailed them down perfectly.
this is a good list, but i'd make some changes:
1. unless they bring back half pipes in mk8 (which is unlikely), i don't think bringing back dk summit is a good idea, considering how much of that course is half pipes (EDIT: half pipes confirmed lol, forget this point)
2. while the image leak is reliable for courses that weren't released in tour yet (sky high sundae and waluigi stadium), it isn't really reliable for predicting the courses in the booster pass. for example: snes choco island, donut plains, vanilla lake, and mario circuit 2 were in the image, but there's only one snes slot available
1. It's more likely than you think, since Tour already did it. If not, they could maybe incorporate antigravity somehow. Regardless, I think that track is likely to come back, and I support that.
2. I agree, that's why I said at the start that I wouldn't be referencing it much. I only referenced it for Waluigi Stadium to clarify the music leak.
This is 100% my Wii bias talking, but I think the half pipes are equally as important to Waluigi Stadium as they are DK Summit (even though, yes they weren't there in double dash so it can definitely be made without). I will be very disappointed (more than I already am that Waluigi Stadium was picked, lol) if Waluigi Stadium doesn't come with half pipes!
I mean they are bringing back merry mountain which has half pipes
Guess what
I'm so happy Rainbow Road 3DS is gonna come for Wave 3!
well rip toad's factory
With tour adding an updated boo lake. I think that track will be present instead of broken pier.
Rest or the tracks, well have to wait for the next wave of datamines to come out
What a well constructed video!
This is sooo good. I hope Nintendo takes some notes or all of them!
9 Tracks in the right place (Including 2 of the unknown city tracks), 3 tracks in the wrong place but right cup (would be 4 if Broken Pier had been Boo Lake), 5 in the wrong cup but right wave (1 unknown city), 6 guessed correctly but in the wrong wave, and 9 completely wrong. Good prediction!
I wouldn't care if it was expensive for new characters because I'm so keen for some more characters.
I really hope Wario Colosseum makes it to the DLC eventually. And for Wii Rainbow Road, I'm so glad this guy agrees with my thoughts. It's my favorite MKRR of all time!
Imagine if Nintendo pulls an uno reverse card and puts toads factory in the booster pass.
They actually meant add Toad's Factor from some leaks I have seen, and also they even used those conveyor belts from Toad's Factory in a course in a Tour course, so HOPEFULLY they’ll add it to the booster course pass!
Edit: the course is called Singapore SpeedWay 2, I don’t think Singapore 1 has the conveyor belts from the videos i have seen.
Here are the 5 remaining tracks on my MK8D dlc wishlist and I really hope they make it!
1. Daisy Cruiser (My favorite track in MK history and three current tracks hint this one is coming back!)
2. Rosalina’s Ice World
3. Maple Treeway
4. Moonview Highway
5. Dino Dino Jungle
I just want moonview highway...
I want to see Wario Colosseum and Wii Rainbow Road.
@@theworstyoutuber7905 bad news
@@militor_207 I knew the news when I made the comment, it was over a while ago, tho I still have false hope
Well, we have Daisy Cruiser, Maple Treeway and Moonview Highway, dunno if the last 2 are going to be in it, but still, 3 out of 5 is pretty good!
Good Vid. Some thoughts:
- Sucks they aren't remaking Wario Colosseum, but it might not have made a difference anyway since I would have wanted it remade with anti-gravity portions inside the sphere and clearly they aren't doing any true anti-gravity stuff (as in sections being anti-grav rather than just what they did with Sky High Sundae) for this DLC.
- Every single wave has had at least one non-city tour track. Wave 1 was NInja Hideaway (it's listed as new in the track list rather than Tour), Wave 2 was Sky High Sundae, And Wave 3 is clearly going to be Merry Mountain. Wave 4's blank slot will likely be a non-city Tour track, and Wave 5's final course will probably be New (maybe the Bathroom course) as well rather than Dry Dry Ruins.
- The fact that wave 6 has 3 "new" slots could be explained with them picking 2 RMX tracks from Tour (such as RMX Ghost Valley 1 or RMX Vanilla Lake 1 or a not yet released RMX track). That would also leave open the possibility that the SNES course isn't Vanilla Lake 1/2 if they are picking Vanilla Lake 1 as an RMX course.
I can see them including 3 new Tour courses, but that's pushing it. And I don't think they would cram the last wave full of RMX courses, as that would be a very anticlimactic end to the DLC.
@@L1N3R1D3R I mean if the argument is about what would be least anti-climactic then them just doing 3 new course for wave 6 would be most likely.
Interesting. I think getting any additional content besides the courses is optimistic at best, but one can only hope. The game is making them boatloads, but it already took 5 years just to get new (old) content. Looking forward to more wii and 3ds tracks, they got done a little dirty if you ask me.

Yes, yes, and yes to all of this
Tbh with DK Summit, Koopa Cape, and Maple Treeway practically just waiting to be confirmed, I’d prefer Dry Dry Ruins over Rainbow Road since it’s also my second favorite desert course in the series though it’ll be odd not finishing off the booster course pass on a Rainbow Road track. Also I’m seriously hoping the last DS track is Airship Fortress. I kind of accepted DK Mountain won’t be coming back and the rest of the GCN and Wii courses chosen are fine by me but I seriously want Airship Fortress back since it’s the only DS track alongside Waluigi Pinball that I really really like lol
Maple Treeway as already been confirmed by the same leaker who both leaked the entire pass and also revealed 15 of the 25 remaining tracks and 8 of them are in the next wave that was completely leaked last month or after the 2nd wave was released.
@@courage1363 Oh by confirmed I meant confirmed by Nintendo directly via a trailer or teaser. It is confirmed 100% by leaks because of the audio files for sure.
Now that DK Mountain is in Tour, I wouldn't be surprised if it was brought to the BCP instead of Dino Dino Jungle considering how popular it is
@@goombuigi6904 I saw it’s awesome it’s back though I’m still not 100% convinced it’ll be back I feel like Nintendo could definitely do some weird choices. I’m hoping we get Waluigi Stadium, Daisy Cruiser, DK Mountain, and Dino Dino Jungle back (all GCN courses in Tour) though Idk if they’d choose two tracks with the same themes to them so if one gets shafted I hope it gets replaced with Mushroom City.
I like I got half my DK Mountain. However I’m not happy we didn’t get AiRsHiP fOrTrEsS.
Çok güzel bir paylaşım olmuş eline sağlık iyi vdeo olmuş oyun güzel beyendim
Our predictions for characters is exactly the same except instead of Captain Falcon I put King Bob-Omb. But I like your choice better, I agree Captain Falcon is long overdue!
The most accurate and well done prediction video I’ve seen so far. Great video!
I hope the leaks are right about every track in wave 3, but I also hope it comes out before New Year’s Eve this year. Anyway, I kind of disagree with Dry Dry *Ruins* here, because we’ve had Dry Dry *Desert* for 5 years now, and I feel like it would be redundant to add another track with “Dry Dry” in the title. Uh, maybe Toad’s Factory could go there to get some respect?
It would be strange if they waited until the start of next year, and not just because it would break their "pace". If they have a Nintendo Direct this month and it mentions Wave 3, I don't think they would make us wait four months for it. Plus, it's really easy to sell stuff during the holiday season.
Sadly, the Tour leaks don't point to Toad's Factory, since conveyor belts are everywhere in Tour. Thankfully for me, I also love Dry Dry Ruins, so that's a compromise I'm not too sad about. And again, I don't think they mind "conflicts" between the base game and the DLC.
@@L1N3R1D3R Remember what they did with Smash Ultimate and the Arms reveal in February, and then revealed Min Min in June? This is Nintendo we're talking here, DLC reveals are always awkward.
@@L1N3R1D3R Again, these are just predictions, so Toad’s Factory could happen. And it may not even be right that we won’t be seeing anymore N64 tracks. Because datamines and leaks aren’t always right, y’know. You even said Dry Dry Ruins just because you like that track.
Anyway, here are MY predictions for the mystery city courses: 1. Moscow Mix-up, which would be a track going around the busy streets and sick landmarks of Russia. We’d even go through the St. Basil’s Cathedral.
2. Seattle Climb, which would just be 1 big lap, Mount Wario style. Lap 1 would take you through the city, so you get to see the Washington Skyline. Lap 2 would just be a highway, with classic details like item boxes, boosts, and maybe a glide over a lake. Lap 3 would be a trip up Mount Rainier, hence the name of the track. And like in Mount Wario, you’d stop when you reach the summit.
3. Cairo Crunch, which would go through the urban and desert parts of Egypt. It’s like Bone Dry Dunes or Dry Dry Desert but for Tour. What do you think of these ideas?
@@fridaynightfunkinfan5627 I never said I chose Dry Dry Ruins "just because I like that track". There are Tour datamines that have assets labeled "wiiddr", which makes it likely based on my theory of the blank spaces. The only assets that could have pointed to Toad's Factory related to conveyor belts, which are now in Singapore Speedway as well as a few RMX courses.
@@L1N3R1D3R Oh yeah, you said it has assets leaked in Tour. I was thinking about when you said it’s one of your favorite Wii/desert courses.
In the non-city track category: I think there will be a Super Mario movie inspired track and it should be in the wave 4 replacing Dry Dry Ruins in the double cherry cup. I feel like promoting the movie in the most popular Switch game should be doable if we look at it in Nintendo's eyes.
This DLC is already promoting Mario Kart Tour pretty heavily. I'd be surprised if we got a Mario Movie course in the meantime, especially before anything referencing Odyssey or other modern Mario games.
As much as interesting is Broken Pier. But recent findings found out that it's GBA Boo Lake for this October's Tour event (due to it called TL or something with Teressa in the file names).
Said leak mentions GBA Lakeside Park, DS Delfino Plaza, and other tracks. For only 4 Wii courses (based on Banner Leak(not the game's ads in Coconut Mall or whatnot), it's DK Summit, Koopa Cape, and Maple Treeway. As for the 4th one, this is based on the Tour Leak and it's Dry Dry Ruins.
As much as everyone expects Rainbow Road (due to personal bias to everyone) to be the last for Wave 6, it's either one of the 4 tracks I've mentioned.
I don't personally think that the game's banners and advertisements in places like Coconut Mall are legitimate but rather just easter eggs and cameos.
Everyone suspects that Vanilla Lake is coming in Wave 2 because of the Banner Leak but it's GBA Snow Land. I've also made a similar list on Discord and little traction on my Twitter. As for the missing prefixes, I don't think it's a placeholder but rather we're going to have new Tour tracks that aren't city based. Two were speculated to be a new Yoshi course (yi) and some aquatic course (yu).
Interesting! How recent was this leak? I never found it in my research. I had no idea that Boo Lake was called Teresa Lake in Japanese until now. Also, I would love to see Lakeside Park remade in 3D, but I sadly don't have room for it in my predictions for this DLC.
As for your other comments, I'll probably stick by my predictions, as I've already laid out my reasoning.
@@L1N3R1D3R The Boo Lake thing is recent like 2 days ago.
And yea, file names are based on Japanese names, no matter which region its from.
@@Miguel92398 That would explain it! It took me about a week to edit this video, and I already had my script written and recorded by then.
Lakeside Park?! Dame! Really hope they keep the volcano active in lap 3!
@@R_wir3 in the Tour data, there are magma rock assets, something with AGB as its prefix. So naturally, it's Lakeside.
Looking accurate so far chief
Wave 4 might be perhaps the best of the best tracks in bcp 😊
This is so much effort in this video. Well done.
Also, bathroom course? I wonder if we can got the toilet lol.
Nah, that’s far too weird for a Mario Kart game lol
I hope in the unlabeled tracks they add new city courses based on Rome, Egypt or Athens
Aged like a fine milk
These seem really legit. I really want to see Wii Daisy Circuit come back
I think the last track of Acorn Cup would be Spocco Square / Switch Sports.
BROKEN PIER LOVE OML LETS FINALLY GO
I’ve been waiting YEARS to see broken pier once more and now I’m hells hyped!
These aren't confirmed. In fact, according to the most recent leaks (which happened after I finished writing and recording the script for this video), we're likely to see Boo Lake in Tour pretty soon, which would likely transfer over to this DLC. I'm not too bummed, though.
underrated youtuber
Men, You are the BEST! You were right
It also makes more sense the Yoshi nitro is in the berry cup bc gosh I eats a lot of berries
Im just kinda going around watching predictions videos hoping ill see Toads Factory. The music is so fantastic and i like the track as well. I really do hope it still gets in regardless.
All I want is gcn Bowser's castle ... Is that too much to ask Nintendo
Imagine if 3 of the blank spots are actually going to be the Tour RMX tracks and the final SNES track would be a Bowser's Castle (The only SNES track style that has never been brought back besides in Super Circuit).
And that we'd get RMX Ghost Valley, RMX Choco Island 1 & RMX Vanilla Lake.
But the blanks being placeholders is also a good idea.
MK8 don't have U-turns, DK Summit will be boring without it because it's core gameplay of this track, so...maybe Toad Factory? Just reuse Singapore's asset will be ok.
I think one blank might from MKDS because Double Dash had reused most music, so NGC Luigi Circuit might be not in because it reused Yoshi Circuit's music, and Waluigi Pinball is a special case for its popular, I guess it won't happen after that...
by the way i want Daisy Circuit :>
I'm surprised nobody's brought up the theme of the berry cup as evidence towards the Yoshi's Island track, especially considering how random of an item choice it seems to be otherwise. I get that the name of a cup doesn't always line up with the tracks it contains, but considering the Rock Cup ends with Rock Rock Mountain and the Moon Cup ends with 3DS Rainbow Road, the track whose defining feature is being able to drive on the moon, I think it's reasonable to assume the cup themed around the item only Yoshi can use would end with a Yoshi-themed track.
96 vs would be awesome
Wuhu Island would be nice as there’s already a Wuhu Town battle stage, so they can reuse assets if necessary (it ha the bridge and everything too). It would also make sense for them to just make a new Wuhu track entirely as one of the blanks.
The reuse of assets is one of the reasons why I thought a Wuhu track would be likely for this game. Someone else brought up the idea of an RMX Wuhu Island course, which I don't think would ever happen. Also, if they make a new Sports-themed course, I would imagine that it would be based off Spocco Square instead of Wuhu Island.
@@L1N3R1D3R Besides that, I think there could actually be a character course pass since Tour is getting rid of the gatcha stuff
Hell, even a "vs 99 players" mode was found last month (the sprites at least)
@@R_wir3 I didn't want to go above and beyond in my predictions beyond the courses, as I wanted to keep it more realistic. I also wouldn't want to know how much lag a 99 player Mario Kart would have lol
I don't know if this has been mentioned but RIP Toads factory 2008-2008
everyone loves Coconut Mall more than you :(
I don't think Dry Dry Ruins would make it into the Booster Pass. Would replace it with Toad's Factory.
sky high sundae is an original mario kart 8 course, it was added to tour after the wave 2 DLC dropped
It was very clearly designed for tour just happened to be released for 8dx first to say it was a deluxe track
It was datamined for Tour before the pass was announced. The announcement for this even stated that they were "Remasters from across the series", no new nitro courses for 8 DX.
The ice creams were already found in Tour last year
I like how you consider the tour leaks. With that in mind this is a very competent track selection but I hope you're wrong and we get Bowser's castle 2 just because I didn't liked that tour changed the cool blue style from the original
I agree with this
Applaud you for getting it correct
6:06 By the time of this recording Luigi Circuit from Mario Kart 64 Is in Tour and I do not want to see that track in the Booster Pack.
You're in luck! I also don't like that track. Luckily, this is GCN Luigi Circuit, which is way more interesting because you drive in both directions on the same road.

That are my wishes for the next waves 😁.
You can see koopa cape with a half pipe in the picture with all the courses. It is right below toad
This seems to be nearly 100% likely. Lots of cool tracks, but the sheer abundance of tour tracks really brings the whole thing down. It would be insane if they followed this up with a booster course 2, as that would allow nearly every remaining track to make it in
Tour tracks don’t bring it down. They’re new tracks to a lot of people and just because they’re from a mobile game does not make them more basic or lame.
The only reason you’re salty towards the Tour tracks is because you don’t like Tour, I bet you haven’t even seen most Tour tracks lmao.
@@WritingCountingOriginal Except almost every tour track added has been mid to bad. If being new to a lot of people is their only redeeming quality, I'd rather they just pick good familiar tracks
@@WritingCountingOriginal Paris, Tokyo, Sky High Sundae are all just plain bad. New York and London are kinda meh. Ninja hideaway is poorly designed. I liked Merry Mountain, but it's still relatively basic. If they were to only choose the best tracks from across the series, so far only Sydney is the only one even worthy of being considered.
@@conehead2099 well look up Los Angeles Laps, Singapore, Bangkok, Vancouver, and Amsterdam. Those city tracks aren’t quite as basic as the first 6 they’ve added thus far.
If you still don’t like those Tour tracks, then I think you only hate them because you hate Tour
@@conehead2099 the upcoming Tour tracks will be better.
one of the things that's ticked me off about the dlc is that a lot of the courses feel like "safe picks" or "easy ports" like waluigi stadium, even though wario colosseum would not only be far more interesting, but has been sitting exclusively in double dash, has never been remade, and nobody really talks about it
i also think them remaking so many courses that were remade in 7 is a little weird but it's not my game, and i enjoy it regardless, even though i don't agree with all of the choices made for it
YO IF THEY MADE A BATHROOM COURSE THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD. BEST COURSE BY FAR NO DOUBT IN MY MIND
It would be neat if Reverse Mode flipped the _order_ of the tracks too (like you're doing a Grand Prix of the Propeller Cup in Reverse Mode, and you start on Sky-High Sundae and end on Sydney Sprint)
The blank space logic is absurd. Sounds like retro course biase to me, they will certainly be new courses and there's no reason for them not to be
The fact that most of the blank spaces are bunched up at the end of the DLC leads me to believe that they're placeholders. However, by that logic, I figured there must be some reason why they would know the other prefixes and not those, which is what led me to Tour leaks. It's only "retro course bias" because it matches the trends that exist in this DLC and Tour. I'll eat my words if they are all new courses.
@@L1N3R1D3R I am just praying that they aren't new courses honestly, sky high sundae over any of the many missing 3ds courses makes me feel very pained inside my soul
I hope this list is accurate. Wuhu loop and toad city GCN level are the most wanted additions
As a fan of Wario Colosseum, I refuse to believe that we're getting another Waluigi course 2 waves in a row. As much as I love Waluigi, I just grew up struggling to beat Wario Colosseum and hence I've grown to love it
Wah wah
How do you know toads factory can't happen? I still have a small amount of hope for it
PLEASE TOADS FACTORY PLEASE.
I grew up on Wii, but I do think you're being a bit biased for Wii.
Hey, at least I admit it.
I would have prefered that where the bathroom course is that add like Luigi's Mansion instead because I love that track from the DS and tour but also love Airship Fortress so it would be nice to see them both in the game instead of 1 over the other
7:37 I want to see Daisy Circuit or Moonview Highway from Wii.
I would honestly swap Maka Wuhu for Bowser's Castle since we don't have Bowser's Castle remake in 8 Deluxe (Ik you predicted GBA Bowser Castle 3 but I'm talking about the Bowser's Castles that aren't flat if you know what I mean). Other than that great predictions! Also I actually did not know that there was a Yoshi's Island and a bathroom track leaked. Those sound fun honestly.
For some changed for the game itself I'd say
Add a new engine class either a reverse mode since Tour has reverse tracks or 200cc Mirror Mode. They could go the extra mile and add Mirror Mode for 50, 100 and 200cc but I doubt they would add Mirror Mode for every other cc. Just 200.
Fix the item balancing. There's times where you can just get slapped in the face by like 9 red shells. I kid you not, I had a race one time where I had quite a big lead, I was 10 seconds away from the finish line and got hit by like 9 reds. I still won but I would have been pissed if I had lost since I frontran the race. There are other thing that need to be fixed for item balancing like the whole room getting stars, bullet bills, golden mushrooms, etc most of the time which makes it near impossible to gain any placements (this only happens most of the time when first has a big lead).
Add 96 races on vs mode when every track is released. I don't why Mario Kart 8 Wii U didn't add 48 races when all its DLC released so I hope they do 96 for Deluxe.
Add more characters like Birdo, Diddy Kong, Petey Piranha and Nabbit to name a few. The character roster is really stale and more original characters would make the game much better. Even add some alternate costumes for each character. Mario could get Fire Mario, Builder Mario, etc. They could even make Tanooki Mario an alt for him even tho he's a separate character from him but they could definitely work around that.
Add more vehicle parts. Tour has a bunch of karts and gliders that the could port over and Wii has some bikes that they could port over. Bring back the Dolphin Dasher, Poltergust 400, Wild Wing, Daytripper, Flame Runner, Sugarscoot, Dry Bomber and stuff like that.
I totally would have picked a different Bowser's Castle course for this DLC if it lined up with what we knew and my intuitions, but sadly it doesn't.
Item balance is definitely a flaw with this game. I wouldn't give the most powerful items to anyone but the bottom positions, no matter how far ahead 1st place is.
I don't know, I feel like vehicle parts are the least important part of a Mario Kart game. Courses are obviously the most important, and characters are important enough to consider.
The item you receive is based on your placement and distance from first place. The reason why this works is because it prevents frontrunners from being untouchable and giving racers in the middle of the pack a chance to catch up. It may be annoying to you, but that doesn't warrant the item distribution reverting back to how it was in previous titles. A better solution to 'perfecting' the item balance would be to not have fist place receive Bob-ombs in exchange for red shells, and adjust the lock on speed for red shells and spiny shells on 200cc.
I think Wii Bowser's Castle is more likely for the end of Wave 5. Dry Dry ruins doesn't really feel like a "Finale" course like the others do. Wii Bowser's Castle would fill in the lack of Bowser's castles. The issue is that Wii Bowser's Castle uses a lot of half pipes in one section, and already feels similar to MK8's Bowser's Castle.
I also like Wii Bowser's Castle, but you have to remember that that slot was originally a blank space. It could be a new Tour course, or it could be a course that wasn't finalized yet. This indicated to me that it was in the process of being made in Tour but wasn't done yet, which led me to the Tour leaks. The only games that had substantial courses were GBA (Yoshi Desert), GCN (Mushroom Bridge/City), Wii (Dry Dry Ruins), and 3DS (Wuhu Loop/Maka Wuhu). Since GBA and Wii are both overrepresented and both desert courses, I went purely by preference there. To avoid more than one course from a single game in the same cup, I ordered it in this way.
@@L1N3R1D3R That's a really good point! Never thought like that
Sky-High Sundae isn’t Tour it’s MK8DX
It was made for tour
What about adding the iconic "lost-ball" sound effect to DS Waluigi Pinball?
That falls under the minor changes to tracks that I want. I didn't want to list them all because that would take too much time, so I just said the most egregious one (after the Coconut Mall cars), the grass.
They prob will do that like they did with the update with the cars in coconut mall. I’ve also seen people do mods of waluigi pinball where your racing on the green part of the road/carpet and it ends when you jump off
Kalamari desert 2 is new to tour
Definitely the most in-depth and thoughtful predictions for the BCP that I’ve seen, but I have a disagreement. If 2 or 3 of the slots with no prefix are non-Tour retros, then I feel one of them should go to N64. You said 3 isn’t enough for 3DS, yet N64 only has 2 and they’re already released. You also gave an extra slot to Wii, which statistically has the most courses in this pass behind Tour, which I feel is pretty well represented already. Finally, I think it would make sense if every wave had a Tour nitro, as seems to be the case with the first three waves so far. Therefore, this would leave us with 2 extra slots in wave 6, which I think should go to N64 (banshee boardwalk?) and 3DS (bowser’s castle or maka wuhu)
For 3DS, I said "3 isn't enough for how much it's represented in Tour". 3DS has 10 courses in Tour that aren't already in MK8, yet only 3 in the DLC. N64 has only 5 such courses (and 4 while I was recording the script, before they announced Luigi Raceway), so having only 2 in the DLC isn't quite as shocking.
You're kinda right about my Mario Kart Wii bias, but according to my theory for the blank spaces, the only fitting replacement in terms of leaked courses in Tour would be GBA, which is also overrepresented. I think 3 new Tour courses is the absolute maximum we could get, but your reasoning makes sense.
this is a really good list
(side note: didn't mention that koopa cape and dk summit were on the banner leak)
I mentioned at the start of the leak section that I wasn't going to be mentioning the banner leak much, because it can be deceiving and it mostly confirms what we already know. I only brought it up for Waluigi Stadium because it helps to clarify the music leak.
@@L1N3R1D3R yeah but 2 of them were 100% dk summit and koopa cape, most of the other ones not confirmed could be a little sketchy
@@B0ssguy I worried that if I referenced it any more, then people would ask me where so-and-so track is because they could somehow make out a clear image from 10 pixels. DK Summit and Koopa Cape are pretty obvious, but they're also both in Tour already, and Wii is already getting more courses in this DLC than there are in Tour (even without my extra slot), so they were kinda necessary to include. I also supplied Waluigi Stadium with Tour asset leaks, which are far more reliable in cases like this.
6:16 I want to see Defino Plaza, Rainbow Road or Bowser Castle for the DS.
Feel better
Imma be upset of the rumor of Rosalina's Ice World being datamined doesn't lead to it being in the game
I dont see the blank slots WONT be retro or real city base tracks because both Ninja Hideaway and Sky High Sundae both dont have a label listed in either both Tour or retro, which is why the remaining blank slots will be in fact to be original tracks, plus the next wave after the leaked 3rd wave wont be revealed till the next direct on next year and during the remainer of this year i bet we should expect a few new nitro tracks to be shown and released during this year especially during October since Merry Mountain was the only holiday focused track we ever have SO FAR and i hope we get a original Halloween themed track to be shown during October to fit the theme and to go with 5th wave I HOPE.
And as for the last DS Leaked track I STRONGLY dont see Airship Fortress to be one of them even thou its both popular and it was shown on Tour, but i dont see that being the case because i think the last DS track would be either:
Desert Hills, Delfino Square or Yoshi Falls, because DS Peach Gardens was WKWii retro track that fit the 12 racers feature and one of my choices fits WAAAAY better than your pick.
They might make several new Tour courses, but unless they drastically change their plans, most of them will be city courses, and thus not qualify for a blank space. As for your DS choices, I don't see any of them being any more likely than Airship Fortress, and that course is a fan favorite.
Ur right to give 3DS another chance cause DS Shroom Ridge, Mario Circuit, and GBA Snow Land have not been remastered in the series, I hope they add some courses from Wii, GCN, and 3DS that have not been remastered. Especially Maka Wuhu from 3DS
Cairo was teased as a city course since day 1 in mario tour, since we can see see a pyramid in promotional material, thought it could be teasing desert hills from ds, but I kinda doubt that!
If it's just a pyramid, it could also be GBA Yoshi Desert or even Wii Dry Dry Ruins, which are both leaked for Tour.
@@L1N3R1D3R Super Circuit seems to being finally noticed haha, such underrated game, thankfully more people will have the chance to play it on NSO
i agree with some of these choices and ill say which ones i disagree with
-i don’t think we’ll be getting anymore circuit tracks, gcn luigi circuit also has the same music as yoshi circuit. although its not much of a problem as waluigi pinball and wario stadium have the same, i can’t imagine them doing it too much and for a track no one is really requesting. i would put dk mountain instead as its datamined for tour and i think it’d work well after singapore speedway due to the contrast
-i dont think we’re getting vanilla lake, although its in coconut mall, other tracks are referenced in the game as well which arent in the game, i think in sunshine airport the lady says that we’re going to n64 luigi raceway (something similar to that). i’d say koopa beach as we’ve not gotten a proper beach track yet
-i don’t think they’re adding another wii track we’ll already have 6 in the booster course pass. i would make the slot a ds slot as theres only 3 slots from that game and i’d put it to delfino square as i think its the most popular aside from what is already in mk8
-if there were another gcn course (acorn cup), i’d say this is were dino dino jungle goes (which you already have) but this is the space where i’d put delfino (the slot where ddr is would be a non city tour track)
-for the last gcn track, i’d say wario colosseum. i know im being a hypocrite by saying gcn luigi circuit can’t get in because of music but i think it’s such a fitting course for the last cup in mario kart 8 due to the size and difficulty
-for the 3ds slot, i think i’d be 3ds bowser’s castle because it’s tradition to end the cup with a bc then rr, although no retros have done this before, i think it’d make sense
You didn't need Wario Colosseum to be a hypocrite for repeated music, you already did that with DK Mountain and Dino Dino Jungle, lol. I think the distinction between base game and DLC is significant.
We might not be getting proper beach courses, but we certainly will be getting summer-themed courses. If anything were to replace Vanilla Lake, I think it would be Ghost Valley.
As for the blank spaces, if we're going by Tour leaks, the only candidate is Mario Circuit, and you said you didn't want any more circuit courses. I think Luigi Circuit is one of the best circuit courses, and it would be the best place to put a filler course.
@@L1N3R1D3R oh yeah, i forgot about dkm and ddj as i usually dont have ddj in my predictions.
i think ghost valley is way too similar to boo lake imo
im not going entirely off tour leaks (wario colosseum lol) but dkm is datamined for the game. the reason why i can’t see a circuit track is because we already have a lot in the game and 2 in the bcp and usually they’re starter courses, wave 4 isn’t starter (unless if they make the argument that the cups are at the left of the screen so it means it’s starter)
I think we'll have filler/starter courses sprinkled throughout the DLC. This isn't the base game, you don't need to progress in difficulty as you go on. This is a segmented DLC over two years, so each batch should have a variety of courses.
All I want is double dash Bowser's Castle, Rainbow Road and Wario Colosseum then I'll be happy
Toads factory only has a chance to be in tour9
I hope they apply the Double dash items like they did with tour
the music leak isn’t actually a music leak, it’s a prefetch leak.
Also I see 3 of the “black spaces” being RMX tracks. If the Wuhu tracks were leaked for tour, and the 3DS is getting no new tracks, I see a RMX Wuhu Island coming.
I also see a RMX Boswers castle and RMX Rainbow road coming. It would only make sense!
Now if these are placeholders, I see 3DS Shy Guy Bazzar, Wii Toads Factory, A bowsers castle from any game, or N64 Koopa Troopa Beach.
Also here are my predictions:
Rock Cup:
* Tour London Loop
* DS Peach Gardens
* GBA Boo Lake/Broken Pier
* 3DS Rock Rock Mountain
Moon Cup:
* Tour Berlin Byways
* GCN Waluigi Stadium
* Merry Mountain
* 3DS Rainbow Road
Fruit Cup:
* Tour Amsterdam Drift
* Wii DK Summit
* DS Airship Fortress
* (tour) Yoshi’s Island
Boomerang Cup:
* Tour Singapore Speedway
* GCN Daisy Cruiser
* GBA Bowser Castle/Lakeside or Riverside Park
* Tour Los Angeles Laps
Feather Cup:
* Tour Rome Runaway
* Wii Koopa cape
* GBA Sunset Wilds
* Tour Cairo Dash
Cherry Cup:
* Tour Bangkok Rush
* GCN Dino dino Jungle
* SNES Vanilla Lake
* RMX Wuhu Island
Acorn Cup:
* Tour Vancouver Velocity
* Wii Maple Treeway
* (tour) Bathroom Blowup
* RMX Rainbow Road 1
Spiny Cup:
* Tour Italy Way
* GCN Mushroom Bridge/City
* RMX Bowsers Castle 1
* Wii Rainbow Road
Before Wave 2's announcement, I was hopeful that we might get RMX courses instead of SNES (or GBA Bowser Castle) courses, but I don't see that happening anymore. I also don't think that they would make an RMX version of any 3D courses, since that would essentially be a brand new course. The fact that most of the blank spaces are bunched up at the end of the DLC leads me to believe that they're placeholders. However, by that logic, I figured there must be some reason why they would know the other prefixes and not those, which is what led me to Tour leaks.
@@L1N3R1D3R actually, now that I think on it, re normally get huge blowups of GBA tracks that we’ve never seen (other then in tour.) We also normally get tracks that we aren’t expecting.
(Technically Shroom ridge, even though we didn’t know the pass was coming.) Snow land for wave 2, Peach Gardens and Boo Lake for wave 3, I’m thinking Lakeside or Riverside Park for wave 4, instead of GBA bowsers castle, wave 5 would be RMX Wuhu Island, and wave 6 would be the RMX tracks and Wii Rainbow Road.
It gives us something to be excited about for each wave, and gives us tracks that we all love and weren’t expecting… what do you think?
@@Roxleton I don't think they'd wait so long just to dump a bunch of RMX courses on us, since it would be a pretty anticlimactic end to the DLC when they could have remade proper 3D courses. Also, they've only made RMX's for SNES courses and GBA Bowser Castles, which are flat and have multiple variations (except SNES Rainbow Road). The closest thing they've done to an RMX of a 3D course is N64 Kalimari Desert 2 (laps 2 and 3 of Kalimari Desert in the DLC), which is hardly a substantial change.
@@L1N3R1D3R it’s only really 2 flat RMX courses that I predict, and they are some of the best ones tbh. The lightning cup on MK7 ended with SNES Rainbow Road, so it’s technically possibly. Also why would they just throw away the RMX courses? RMX bowsers castle 1 in specific because that had custom conveyor belts.
the leaks are real but they're %1000 not adding vanilla lake the coconut mall argument doesn't make sense because that track was originally designed for tour and was made for tour and vanilla lake is in tour and they added snow land those are way close to put both in and the next SNES track and the only one left is going to be Koopa Beach 2 it makes the most sense and it was found in the leaked image because they haven't added a beach course yet and the other SNES tracks in Tour won't/don't make sense come like choco island (we have choco mountain) vanilla lake, mario circuit all ready came, donut plains is already in the game and ghost valley we'll be getting Boo lake/Broken pier so they're too close Koopa Troopa Beach 2 makes the most sense plus it's found in the image and the only other SNES track is Bowsers Castle and leaked is we're getting GBAs bowser castle so it won't be vanilla lake
Vanilla Lake is definitely a pick I'm not too invested in, so I wouldn't mind a different course instead. However, I don't agree with your argument for Koopa Beach. I don't see any obvious signs of it on the banner leak, and there are still several more summer/beach courses they can port. I think Ghost Valley would be the most likely alternative.
@@L1N3R1D3R why we're getting boo lake/broken pier. Those lay outs are way to similar to each other wouldn't make much sense. Plus there's no other beach course in Tour so far. Except for Koopa troopa beach from N64 but we're not getting that
I want DS Bowser Castle in the game. I want them to add some bumps to the spinner to do tricks off of it, and I hope they keep the laugh when you enter the same because the compression makes it sound more sinister.
That seems a little weird to have a bathroom course in Mario Kart. Not sure how fans would react to "that".
mobmd→Madrid
mobat→Athens
mobor→Orlando or ner Original track
mobmu→Mumbai or ner Original track
mobyi→Yoshi Island
mobnu→under water
mobbr→bathroom
mobdk→NEW Donkey Kong track
Mobdk is likely DK Summit 2
As much as I love Luigi Circuit from Double Dash, it seems highly unlikely since Yoshi Circuit is already in the game. Instead, for my predictions I put GCN Bowser's Castle in the Spiny Cup and Dino Dino Jungle in the Boomerang Cup. Also I had GBA Yoshi Desert instead of Bowser Castle 3 because of Tour datamines, and though unlikely, SNES Bowser Castle 3 instead of Vanilla Lake 2. Honestly, I'd be happy with either SNES course, those two are among the only interesting courses in that game that aren't already in MK8DX. Also, after how consistently incredible 2022 has been for Tour, I fully expect it to come out with three new cities and five more original tracks by the end of 2023. '20 and '21 only gave us two cities and one original each, while in '22 we got three brand-new cities before the end of June, then Sky-High Sundae in August. At this rate, we'll get all our new Tour tracks before we know it
They already had DS Wario Stadium in the base game, and that didn't stop them from adding Waluigi Pinball, so I see no problem with adding GCN Luigi Circuit (unless you're just going by course theme). GCN Bowser's Castle would be cool, but it wouldn't make much sense as the second course in the Spiny Cup, with something else in between it and Wii Rainbow Road (which I assume you agree with).
Alright, let's say that they keep their current pace, 3 city courses and 1 original Tour course in 8 months. In the next 16 months, that only gives them 2 more original Tour courses, as well as 6 more cities. I think this current pace is an anomaly, meant to drive in sales of the DLC and Tour microtransactions. Plus, if they were making this many new courses, I don't know why they would wait until the end of the DLC to release them all.
@@L1N3R1D3R I see Waluigi Pinball sharing music to be more of an exception than a trend changer, as it’s such an iconic course. As for GCN Bowser’s Castle, it’s a selfish personal choice, but the only one of my whole list. Finally, who’s to say they’re gonna keep the same ratio of cities to originals? The numbers line up, they could simply just phase out cities and do more originals
@@L1N3R1D3R I want ot say I think you're right on the mark with GCN Luigi Circuit because they JUST announced that track for the reprised Mario Vs. Luigi Tour starting next week.
@@timothywoods8089 If we're looking at the same thing, sadly, that's N64 Luigi Raceway, not GCN Luigi Circuit.
If no labeled tracks are all new, that would be very exciting to me!
I prefer new experiences to memories of the past!
I really hope for Airship Fortress, but a part of me believes theyll opt for Luigi's Mansion instead, for Nintendo seems to really love that course.
They both debuted in DS, then were ported to 7, then were ported to Tour. In terms of how frequently they appear in tours, it's a pretty similar rate. Luigi's Mansion's first tour was October 2019, and it's been in 25 tours. Meanwhile, Airship Fortress's first tour was August 2020, and it's been in 18 tours.
I think airship fortress is more likely since it it is actually changed in it’s Tour appearance (like adding a Bar on the inside of the ship) while Luigi’s Mansion is exactly the same as it is in 7, And it would also be confusing to have a battle mode stage called Luigi’s Mansion and a track called Luigi’s mansion (with both having the same theme) tho that doesn’t say much since we saw what happened with Waluigi Pinball and The Rainbow Roads, but I still think Airship Fortress is more likely imo
Mario Circuit also existed
My Wave 4 Predictions: Fruit Cup: Tour Amsterdam Drift, Wii DK Summit, DS Airship Fortress, And A Mario Movie Exclusive Course. For The Boomerang Cup: Tour Singapore Speedway, GCN Daisy Cruiser, GBA Cheep Cheep Island, And Tour Los Angeles Laps. Reason Why I Predicted A Mario Movie Exclusive Course In The Fruit Cup Is Because Both Wave 4 And The Upcoming Super Mario Movie Are Both Going To Be Released In Early 2023 And I Think It Would Be Perfect For Wave 4 To Promote The Upcoming Super Mario Movie
That's certainly a unique shot in the dark. I'll eat my words if you're right!
