Yes, Someone who appreciates Banshee Boardwalk! Just the eerie setting and darkness throughout the course makes it one of my all time favourites. I remember the giant cheep cheep scaring me half to death every time it jumped over the bridge. I await it's return in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's DLC! (Also I didn't know it was a haunted building because as a kid it gave off the vibe that it was an abandoned bathroom with graffiti, you learn something new every day)
@@Gauley_Nah, it's actually quite easy once you practice. I can hit most of those sharp turns with drifts/power slides. I move through that track like a possessed demon. 😅
While I think ds has the most inconsistent track quality in the series, when the tracks were good, they were god tier and easily amongst the series best. Waluigi Pinball, airship fortress, Delfino square, tick tock clock and Luigi's mansion are just classics. I also appreciate ds for having tracks actually feel like they come from the Mario universe like Mario 3s airships, Delfino plaza, Luigi's mansion and tick tock clock from 64. Even peach gardens has a strong 64 vibe and while I personally hate desert Hills, I do appreciate the Mario 3 reference.
How are any of the snes tracks lower than Baby Park? I kinda understand Choco Island 2 because the entire track is slippery and ramp spam but the rest are 10000000000% better than Baby Park, the track that is literally just an oval that could've easily been replaced with DS Test Circle and would actually be better because it's over quicker
@@Crash__Down A lot of people love Baby Park, but not in Mario Kart DS. They love it in Double Dash and 8 Deluxe. Baby Park in MKDS is just boring because it doesn’t feature any of the special items that Double Dash has or the anti-gravity mechanic like 8 Deluxe has. They also removed the roller coaster >:(
I was expecting Waluigi Pinball at top and i was ready to roll my eyes but it's finally nice to see someone who dosent think it's the best. It's the most overrated track IN MY OPINION and while the theme is great the part before the pinball feels like a circuit track with a disco in the background.
If GBA Luigi Circuit was called Luigi Airfield I reckon people would have a better opinion of it. I swear half the fanbase hates the circuit name as much if not more than the aesthetics that come along with it
I totally agree with your comments about Waluigi Pinball. It’s still one of my favorite Mario Kart tracks of all time, but the ending just isn’t well-utilized. They should’ve added more obstacles or something.
@@Tricky_Nick True, but that's simply a result of the technical limitations of the DS. I think this is probably the best they could do for replicating a deep water/shallow water system.
mario kart DS is interesting because it has some of the most incredible and popular courses in the entire series, yet it has probably the worst retro tracks in the entire series aswell
1:06It just doesn't suck as hard *_I am going to need you to phrase that a little differently._* 3:06"Talk about a letdown" *NEVER GONNA LE-* 8:30I don't know what y'all would probably think, but I was laughing like hell at that. 10:46Ohh yeah, it's Delfino Plaza, baby! I fuckin' love this course! Especially because I'm always driving the Dry Bomber.
I'm with you! I really like Desert Hills, it's my favorite desert track because of it's music, it's based on world 2 from Super Mario Bros 3 with the same name, the Angry Sun and the block Pyramid, I'd love to see that course back!
I still remember refusing to play Luigi's Mansion when I first played MKDS, I was literally a toddler and it honestly freaked toddler me out. Nowadays though, it's such a good course, and one I remember well thanks to my... Special relationship with it as "the reason I did all the retro tracks before seeing Flower Cup". Also yeah no Airship Fortress is probably my favourite overall. I want it to come back, but I know they'll just port the Tour version, which I HATE WITH A FIERY VEHEMENCE as it just doesn't do its atmosphere justice. The lava doesn't work, the audience doesn't work, it's too bright and unsubtle, I HATE IT, just base it off the MK7 version instead and I'll be happy.
It's me. I am all 3 of the people that like choco island 2. It's by far the best snes track in the game and might even crack my top 10. If you really think the mud and ramps are enough to put it dead last, all I can say is skill issue

I actually I think I know why some people don't like some of the retro tracks for this game. Nintendo is trying something new. That's probably why some people liked wave one for mario kart 8 deluxe but others didn't cause it looked too much like mario kart 7. However once they got to wave two and actually turned into MK8Deluxe people liked it. Love air ship fortress!!!!!!
Only nitro tracks! 16: Figure 8 Circuit (Provides nothing, it’s the worst!) 15: Yoshi Falls (This track just sucks donkey balls!) 14: Desert Hills (Somehow the worst desert tracks in the series) 13: Shroom Ridge (I’m tired of traffic tracks at this point) 12: Mario Circuit (This is the best Mario Circuit to date) 11: Cheep Cheep Beach (A cute little beach track) 10: DK Pass (DK Summit’s less interesting older brother) 9: Wario Stadium (Epic track that’s way better than N64) 8: Rainbow Road (The first look at anti gravity in Mariokart) 7: Tick Tock Clock (This course is absolutely insane) 6: Luigi’s Mansion (The best haunted track by far!) 5: Delfino Square (Sunshine is my favorite game of all time) 4: Peach Gardens (I’ve always loved this track so much) 3: Bowser’s Castle (Hot take: My favorite Bowser’s Castle) 2: Waluigi Pinball (It’s fun to dodge Waluigi’s big balls) 1: Airship Fortress (Filled with enemies and insanity!)
Nice ranking however I've noticed with so many of these ranking type videos that the gameplay in the background is never great. In Delfino Square you were constantly drifting into slow down areas and bumping into things!
I’m not actually a big fan of waluigi pinball. Constantly playing it in Mario kart 8 worldwide has destroyed any respect I had. But airship fortress and delfino square are great.
I don't really like this games retro courses, but I think Mario Kart DS has some of the best new courses in the series so I'll rank them. 16. Figure 8 Circuit. I like the kind of realistic raceway theme here. However this track is really simple and generic even for a starting course, however I don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is. 15. Yoshi Falls. I love this track's concept but it's so short that I feel that it's over before it starts 14. Wario Stadium. Track has a good layout but aside from no tricks this track is kind of ugly looking. 13. Mario Circuit. Like most Mario tracks it's decent. I don't have a lot to say about this one 12. DK Pass. Good snow track although it definitely could benefit from tricks on the downhill part. 11. Desert Hills. Good desert track can't think of anything about it you haven't said already. 10. Shroom Ridge. I really like the part near the end where you're dodging traffic on a narrow cliff. 9. Luigi's Mansion. I like this track but definitely feel there should have been more inside of the mansion itself. 8. Peach Gardens. Can't think of much to say here it's a great track. 7. Cheep Cheep Beach. Even though the track isn't very long I love how varied it is from the pier to the beach to the jungle 6. Tick Tock Clock. I like how this track turns a SM64 level into a cool racecourse with fun mechanics like the alternating gears at the end. 5. Bowser's Castle. Probably my favorite BC track I love the spinning thing near the end at the courtyard. 4. Airship Fortress. Amazing track can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said before. 3. Rainbow Road. I love the music and the double corkscrew even if the gravity is a little wonky there. 2. Waluigi Pinball. Looks great again can't really say anything about this track that hasn't been said before 1. Delfino Square. Coconut Mall is so great because it feels like you are driving through a mall instead of a mall themed race course. The same thing is true here but with a town, I love how alive this track feels.
Yeah I know, I know Delfino Square usually gets top 5 but I don't know anyone else who would say it's number one. It's probably because I played Wii more than DS as a kid that it's so high too.
Finally someone who likes GBA Luigi Circuit and Desert Hills. I dont understand why people hate does to track so much. And if i have to share my hot take... Luigi mansion is not a good track. Twisted mansion is the better ghost mansion track in my opinion. Come on on Luigi's mansion you are only in the mansion for 1/4 of the track and 1/2 on mud, in twisted mansion you are actually crazy in the mansion for 1/2 with of course 1/4 under water (why? But its better then 1/2 track of mud) But its way better then Luigi's mansion and luigi needs a better mansion track fast. Also Finally someone who does not say waluigi pinball is the best. But i would choose Airship Fortress is my favorit.
I remember the day I got my first Mario kart game, Mario kart 7 and playing airship fortress and had a blast! Long story short I bought Mario kart DS the next day. XD
This might be the first ranking list where I basically 100% agree with, first a bunch of trash tracks, then tracks I like, and then in the top 7 are all tracks which I love
I'm not and edgy person, so i'm not going to say Waluigi Pinball is overrated, imo it's just the best track in the series, period. Other than that, I'd say that my top consists mostly of Airship Fortress, Peach Garden, Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Road. In all honesty, i believe that MKDS' rainbow road is the most underrated one. Not as good as 7's which remains on top, but it's easily my second favorite one, even dethroning Wii's. I wouldn't go as far as placing Delfino Square as high, but i'm always happy to race on it, that's for sure. It's my go-to alongside 8's Sunshine Airport if i wanna get some Sunshine vibes without actually playing the game (and that's thankful bc i hate the game :'-) )
Gonna be honest, I feel like Waluigi pinball is just a little too overrated. It doesn’t even have a single shortcut, my favorite part of Mario Kart tracks.
I Fricking Despite Delfino Plaza Its DOES NOTHING TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE ISLE DELFINO And It’s SO BORING IN MY LIST I PUT DELFINO PLAZA AT 32 No Hate To You I Respect Your Opinon
well does the BCP version make it better now? :D I personally think its made a bit easier (removing the hedges because you'd always run into them on 200cc)
The Mount Rushmore of hailed DS tracks are Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, Luigi's Mansion and Delfino Square.
Yes
Replace Luigi’s mansion worth either peach’s garden or tic Tok clock
@@James-df3ut I prefer Tick Tock Clock and Peach Gardens over Luigi's Mansion but people overall like Luigi's Mansion more
Tick Tock Clock erasure

Yes, Someone who appreciates Banshee Boardwalk! Just the eerie setting and darkness throughout the course makes it one of my all time favourites. I remember the giant cheep cheep scaring me half to death every time it jumped over the bridge. I await it's return in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's DLC! (Also I didn't know it was a haunted building because as a kid it gave off the vibe that it was an abandoned bathroom with graffiti, you learn something new every day)
Banshee Boardwalk sucks when you're trying to play Time Trials.
Very similar to ghost valley and boo lake
@@Gauley_Nah, it's actually quite easy once you practice. I can hit most of those sharp turns with drifts/power slides. I move through that track like a possessed demon. 😅
Banshee boardwalk is actually good and an actual improvement over the original.
Airship Fortress will always be my #1. Drifting down the tower while listening to this epic theme is just too good
It is pretty great
OVERRATED
It’s my #2
While I think ds has the most inconsistent track quality in the series, when the tracks were good, they were god tier and easily amongst the series best. Waluigi Pinball, airship fortress, Delfino square, tick tock clock and Luigi's mansion are just classics.
I also appreciate ds for having tracks actually feel like they come from the Mario universe like Mario 3s airships, Delfino plaza, Luigi's mansion and tick tock clock from 64. Even peach gardens has a strong 64 vibe and while I personally hate desert Hills, I do appreciate the Mario 3 reference.
Ds nitro tracks are great
But the retro tracks are a different story
4:01 Sky Garden will always be underrated and under appreciated
except for in 8 Deluxe LOL
Great course and love the remake on switch
Sky garden is my favorite course in ds… the shortcut the respawn glitch the opportunity to snake its just fun.
How are any of the snes tracks lower than Baby Park? I kinda understand Choco Island 2 because the entire track is slippery and ramp spam but the rest are 10000000000% better than Baby Park, the track that is literally just an oval that could've easily been replaced with DS Test Circle and would actually be better because it's over quicker
I mean, a lot of people love Baby Park because of the utter chaos that ensues whenever you play it
I can respect that opinion, but baby park still has some of its chaotic charm, just not as much
Wahhh
buddy he warned you, he had a warning about hot takes in this video
@@Crash__Down A lot of people love Baby Park, but not in Mario Kart DS. They love it in Double Dash and 8 Deluxe. Baby Park in MKDS is just boring because it doesn’t feature any of the special items that Double Dash has or the anti-gravity mechanic like 8 Deluxe has. They also removed the roller coaster >:(
Airship fortress will forever be my favorite track. It combines super mario bros platformers and mario kart games perfectly.
I was expecting Waluigi Pinball at top and i was ready to roll my eyes but it's finally nice to see someone who dosent think it's the best. It's the most overrated track IN MY OPINION and while the theme is great the part before the pinball feels like a circuit track with a disco in the background.

Of course you wouldn’t understand the majesty of waluigi pinball
Yeah it’s a nice track, but def not my favourite.
I love Airship fortress and banshee Boardwalk a little too much.
Bro really was ready to “roll their eyes” over a great track being number 1

Delfino Square is truly underrated
Yes
1:32 what do you mean by this? I thought it was obvious that the water is meant to be very shallow, and gets very deep in the darker parts
The very hard defined circles though make no sense
@@Tricky_Nick True, but that's simply a result of the technical limitations of the DS. I think this is probably the best they could do for replicating a deep water/shallow water system.

This is the Worst track selection in the series
mario kart DS is interesting because it has some of the most incredible and popular courses in the entire series, yet it has probably the worst retro tracks in the entire series aswell

4: Peach Gardens (I’ve always loved this track so much)
3: Bowser’s Castle (Hot take: My favorite Bowser’s Castle)
2: Waluigi Pinball (It’s fun to dodge Waluigi’s big balls)
1: Airship Fortress (Filled with enemies and insanity!)
Nice ranking however I've noticed with so many of these ranking type videos that the gameplay in the background is never great. In Delfino Square you were constantly drifting into slow down areas and bumping into things!
I’m not actually a big fan of waluigi pinball. Constantly playing it in Mario kart 8 worldwide has destroyed any respect I had. But airship fortress and delfino square are great.
I don't really like this games retro courses, but I think Mario Kart DS has some of the best new courses in the series so I'll rank them.
16. Figure 8 Circuit. I like the kind of realistic raceway theme here. However this track is really simple and generic even for a starting course, however I don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is.
15. Yoshi Falls. I love this track's concept but it's so short that I feel that it's over before it starts
14. Wario Stadium. Track has a good layout but aside from no tricks this track is kind of ugly looking.
13. Mario Circuit. Like most Mario tracks it's decent. I don't have a lot to say about this one
12. DK Pass. Good snow track although it definitely could benefit from tricks on the downhill part.
11. Desert Hills. Good desert track can't think of anything about it you haven't said already.
10. Shroom Ridge. I really like the part near the end where you're dodging traffic on a narrow cliff.
9. Luigi's Mansion. I like this track but definitely feel there should have been more inside of the mansion itself.
8. Peach Gardens. Can't think of much to say here it's a great track.
7. Cheep Cheep Beach. Even though the track isn't very long I love how varied it is from the pier to the beach to the jungle
6. Tick Tock Clock. I like how this track turns a SM64 level into a cool racecourse with fun mechanics like the alternating gears at the end.
5. Bowser's Castle. Probably my favorite BC track I love the spinning thing near the end at the courtyard.
4. Airship Fortress. Amazing track can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said before.
3. Rainbow Road. I love the music and the double corkscrew even if the gravity is a little wonky there.
2. Waluigi Pinball. Looks great again can't really say anything about this track that hasn't been said before
1. Delfino Square. Coconut Mall is so great because it feels like you are driving through a mall instead of a mall themed race course. The same thing is true here but with a town, I love how alive this track feels.
Nice top 2! It matches mine
Yeah I know, I know Delfino Square usually gets top 5 but I don't know anyone else who would say it's number one. It's probably because I played Wii more than DS as a kid that it's so high too.
0:41 I personally really like it
"A yeti Donkey Kong"
Uh yeah, his name is Eddie
I was hoping that Choco Island 2 would be the worst, since I also think it is the least fun track in the game, as well as unimproved
Waluigi’s Pinball and GCN Yoshi’s Circuit are my favorites.
Nice!
I feel like Delfino square isn’t coming to the booster course pass
I hope for the entire flower cup to come to Mario Kart 8
Or at least Delfino Square and Waluigi Pinball, I can live without Super Desert Hills. 3
I agree, that whole cup would be amazing to have back!!!!
M'y less favourite track is figure 8 circuit and m'y favourite one is airship fortress
This gameplay was hard to watch.
Finally someone who likes GBA Luigi Circuit and Desert Hills. I dont understand why people hate does to track so much.
And if i have to share my hot take... Luigi mansion is not a good track. Twisted mansion is the better ghost mansion track in my opinion. Come on on Luigi's mansion you are only in the mansion for 1/4 of the track and 1/2 on mud, in twisted mansion you are actually crazy in the mansion for 1/2 with of course 1/4 under water (why? But its better then 1/2 track of mud) But its way better then Luigi's mansion and luigi needs a better mansion track fast.
Also Finally someone who does not say waluigi pinball is the best. But i would choose Airship Fortress is my favorit.
I remember the day I got my first Mario kart game, Mario kart 7 and playing airship fortress and had a blast! Long story short I bought Mario kart DS the next day. XD
👌🏻😂
Wario Stadium at #20 is a crime.
I actually like figure 8 circuit just for practicing snaking
Wait how wasn’t 8 bit circuit on last place when it had *nothing* to offer
Ok how is desert hills and cheep cheep beach higher than bowser’s castle
Magic
I love choco island 2 soo much for some reason xd
Awesome list!
Thanks!
Hi Tricky Nick
Hi!
glad to see someone else agree that Rainbow Road is one of the best tracks.
Yes, it’s true
This might be the first ranking list where I basically 100% agree with, first a bunch of trash tracks, then tracks I like, and then in the top 7 are all tracks which I love
Sometimes i feel like tick tock clock and waluigi pinball are a bit overrated, but still good tracks!
delfino plaza? the track is delfino square
I know, I misspoke at the ejd
@@Tricky_Nick only a few times lol
at least you didn't misspeak when talking about tick tock clock
I really thought Waluigi pinball would be number one
What a twist!
Love these videos
Thanks 😊
I also a big fan of desert hills
Nice!
I'm not and edgy person, so i'm not going to say Waluigi Pinball is overrated, imo it's just the best track in the series, period.
Other than that, I'd say that my top consists mostly of Airship Fortress, Peach Garden, Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Road. In all honesty, i believe that MKDS' rainbow road is the most underrated one. Not as good as 7's which remains on top, but it's easily my second favorite one, even dethroning Wii's.
I wouldn't go as far as placing Delfino Square as high, but i'm always happy to race on it, that's for sure. It's my go-to alongside 8's Sunshine Airport if i wanna get some Sunshine vibes without actually playing the game (and that's thankful bc i hate the game :'-) )
I played that game and I love it
Gonna be honest, I feel like Waluigi pinball is just a little too overrated. It doesn’t even have a single shortcut, my favorite part of Mario Kart tracks.
They modded tricks to mkds and wario stadium is indeed fun now
8:28 why did this make me laugh
It’s peak comedy
My favourite is Airship Fortress.

Yes finally someone who finally understands that ds rainbow road is one of the best tracks :D
Also finally not everyone likes waluigi pinball
I Fricking Despite Delfino Plaza Its DOES NOTHING TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE ISLE DELFINO
And It’s SO BORING IN MY LIST I PUT DELFINO PLAZA AT 32
No Hate To You I Respect Your Opinon
You don’t like delfino square?!
I fucking hate Peach Gardens, maybe it's because I couldn't beat the expert staff ghost when I was little on Wii but I hate it.
well does the BCP version make it better now? :D
I personally think its made a bit easier (removing the hedges because you'd always run into them on 200cc)
Tick Tock Clock wasn’t top 5. I’m hiring a hitman.
*UH OH*
Here’s my perfect idea of a cup
Luigi’s Mansion
Tick Tock Clock
Waluigi Pinball
Airship Fortress
I love the desert track but weegi pimball is #1
Glad you didn’t put overrated pinball at the top
Overrated? Yeah. Bad? NO!
