It’s crazy how much the Booster Course Pass has changed since Wave 1.
We managed to start off with tracks that looked straight from Tour to tracks that look like they belong in the base game.
Yep
We went from Puke Yellow 3DS Toad Circuit to 🎼 SHINY 🎼 Wii Rainbow Road
No characters, no antigrav, no half pipes, no water sections, no new features in the beginning of the bcp. Glad that all changed
True.
@@oregano689Yeah!
Can’t believe we have been playing the same game for almost 10 years!
Like GTA 5
IK
Mine died in a fire I miss it
TF2: “First time?”
Time for a new mk game
Peach Gardens final lap is a great callback to Mario Kart DS's Mission Mode because that's exactly what it does to this track, I love it!
Really, it's been YEARS since I played Mario Kart DS (I unfortunately lost my cartridge of it), so I don't remember that
I did not know that, that’s really cool. It’s too bad that mission mode hasn’t been added
I love how rainbow road wii even kept its fire effect for when you fall off the course
The nostalgia and happiness tears I tors when I saw it
Yeah I seriously wasn't expecting that. They really went all out in making sure they did that track justice, and the feeling of grandeur, finality and challenge I got while playing it just screamed Rainbow Road. They couldn't have ended the Booster Course Pass in a better way.
@@speedude0164 Frrr there want any other track to end this series of waves than Wii Rainbow Road 🛣️
I legit cried when it got revealed and when I played it for the first time. This was the Rainbow Road I wanted so badly and they did it perfectly. This was the best... no, the PERFECT way to finish the DLC tracks.
“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you”
I kinda wish they added a 96 track versus feature like the 48 track one. I would have loved to do a 3 hour marathon of all the tracks.
i played the base 48 tracks before wave 1 and it took me 3-4 hours. there's no way you can do all 96 in just 3 lol
Why are so many people upset about this? Just do the base game 48, take a short break and then do the booster courses.
@@Rountree1985 because it is randomized
@@TempoKongyou can select “in order” in the race settings to do all the tracks in order
@@Rountree1985the points don't carry over
Putting sky high sundae above DK Mountain is certainly an interesting choice
I’d also say sky garden and ninja hideaway are like 5 spots too high each lmao
Putting DK Mountain on 35 is a crime
Well, everybody has their own opinions, don't they? Probably the main reason I'm not as angry as you people are.
This man has never played online. The “blander” tracks instantly become a fan-favourite
Excitebike Arena
Though, I learned something new about that track recently. If you hit the edge of the ramp just right, you'll gain very little height, allowing you to land on another ramp and trick again
@@budling5921I hate how popular it is… it’s just a boring drive every single race imo
@@budling5921It’s my guilty pleasure track. It’s just an oval with ramps but tricking on them is always super satisfying
@@Kai_Ri_ Yeah, I agree man. It's just Cruising and getting as much jumpboosts as possible. You can get really to insane heights at 200cc too.
Yeah, Excitebike Arena is essentially a lesser version of Baby Park in my opinion.
Fam, New York above Rome and Madrid is actually crazy 😭
Amsterdam above Rome and Madrid too!
rome and madrid placements are crazy man, he really went "i hate wave 6" and put all tracks in the lower half lmao
@@Splashy_the_III fr, they do NOT deserve to be that low, let alone be under New York, Sky High Sundae, and Sky Garden 😭
Crazy? I was crazy once they locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats, rats make me crazy x5
Madrid should be bottom
I was actually so blown away by SNES Bowser Castle 3. It does NOT feel like it came from Super Mario Kart, and the music is incredible
I definitely like some of the tour tracks more than most people. Berlin Byways, Athens Dash, Vancouver Velocity and Singapore Speedway are some of my favorite tracks on the game
Definitely, the City tracks are my favourites due to the different layout you drive on each lap, every city course from Sydney onwards in the BCP really stood out to me and I love them.
Don’t worry you aren’t alone. Most people only dislike the cities because they hate Tour. It’s just bias, those people don’t have proper opinions so just take what they say with the grain of salt.
A man of culture
While some of the tour tracks feel pretty mediocre and bland, I agree - there are some winners in there that get seriously overlooked because "oh a city track"
@@GarlyleWilds Exactly. New York and Paris aren't that fun for me, but then Rome, Madrid, London, Los Angeles and Tokyo (as well as the other ones that most people say are great) felt really fun for me. I don't know if it's because I play on 200cc 99% of the time that these tracks feel so full of life but they are so fun and I hate when people hate on them just for being city tracks.
To anyone who says something along the lines of “sunset wilds’ background doesn’t change because of technological limitations,” I would say that’s exactly why Nintendo should’ve brought back yoshi desert. That track had a fantastic tour remake
Absolutely. Even lakeside park would have been fantastic too, despite the few similarities to Riverside.
Tour's Sunset Wilds has a sunset cycle.
It's on a PHONE.
Eh, idk
The tiny underwater shortcut section they added is kinda cool, but outside of that it really just looks like a token desert track
But Sunset Wilds is still a much better pick, Yoshi desert is a circle
Or Lakeside Park because that got a stellar remake
This list is just crazy. Trying my best to hold it together 😂
The Mario Circuit 3 slander was horrendous to listen to.
@@joshiffy There's a lot of nonsense in this video, I wish I was relevant enough for people to care about my opinion LOL
@@joshiffyit’s deserved tbh
DS WALUIGI PINBALL NO.1 LIKE WTF.
@@sahaprocks7751 It's definitely deserved. Could have just chosen any other track, but for some reason they chose that one
I kinda feel like he made up his mind about the last two city tracks before even playing them. I know we've had a ton and they all blend together now, but those were easily some of the best city courses we got
Right!!! They were two of my absolute favorites. imo probably top 15 or 20 tracks from the dlc
I agree, i may be biased because i come from Rome but i genuinely think it's one of the best DLC tracks
the waluigi pinball glazing is crazy
for real it’s way longer than it needs to be
It's a few 90 degree turns and long straightaways, one of the most interesting tracks to look at and most boring tracks to drive
@@pearlywhites3025 i think it’s only interesting to look at towards the beginning with the cannon and then obviously the end with the pinballs. other than that it’s just a metal cage like driving surface
@@jacksonhopkins007 Exactly. Get a lead early and lay traps, it's a classic front running track. Obstacles are easy to dodge, no shortcuts, feels like a Disney ride more than a mariokart track
I know, it's amazing.
Sorry to disagree, but DK Mountain is one of the BEST TRACKS in the entire pass. The turns are thrilling, the music is a bop, and they made the bridge more interesting. Such a great track!
W take
W take
And they kept the shortcut!
Also W take
He really acted like a slightly less bumpy mountainside neutered the entire course's level design lol
W take
You should've mentioned how Wii Rainbow Road even implemented the aesthetic detail of your character catching fire like a meteor when falling off the track for a while before Lakitu picks them up, just like in the OG iteration. That one had me gobsmacked when I saw it happening.
Rome Avanti does not deserve to be lower than LA Laps.
‘Murican bias. 😂
It definitely seems like he made his mind up on Rome and Madrid before even playing them. They’re top 15 or 20 tracks from the dlc for me.
Or maybe it's because he doesn't like those tracks as much as you do. I mean, you're literally telling someone off for having a different opinion than yours.
@@FrazerEddy dude i dont remember making this comment
You can't go wrong with any of the Rainbow Road tracks, so much color and toast
So much style
Rainbow road is cool but it has like 5 versions of it. Why?
@@IVR101different Rainbow Roads for each game
@@IVR101 they got 4 of the most iconic ones and MK8's original, I don't think that's too many
I love toast
Shroom ridge at 38 is absolutely criminal it's a great drifting track the music slaps and it's a blast to play
Eh, there's no denying that its visuals are incredibly lackluster like with the other wave 1 tracks. While I do believe that gameplay is much more important than aesthetics, I wouldn't fault someone for weighing them more equally.
literally me
@@Marshall.R graphics are the least important asset of a track
SHROOM RIDGE IS PEAK
Honestly I agree with Bandy I kinda don’t like that one 😭
You do realize that a track being flat and not varied doesn't make it bad right? What matters is if it's fun to navigate. If making turns feels good.
The problem is, I personally find most tracks at least decently fun to navigate and turn in anyway, which does make the flatness and lack of variety in a couple of them stand out
This ranking really did the city tracks dirty, especially Madrid and Amsterdam that should be way higher music and layout wise than an ice-cream oval.
same with vancouver velocity
At least he did Bangkok and Singapore justice. And Athens was a no Brainer. Sydney should have been lower tho
Small thing about wii rainbow road that made me smile: they brought back the detail of your character burning up when they fall off the track. That legit made me smile when i first saw it.
Yoshi's Island is such a beautiful love letter to the SNES track. It's a top 10 track of all time.
i didnt think anything could top yoshi circuit in mk8dx for me until yoshis island came out
Also, did you know that Wario owns Ninja Hideaway? If you load up the track, at the beginning of the race, you can see a golden Wario mustache on the front of the building.
I wonder if Wario owning a ninja locale is a reference to ninja kids Kat and Ana from the Warioware games?
Theres also a lot of garlic & W-shaped theming throughout the whole track
Not sure when we'll get the next Mario Kart, but it is going to have to be revolutionary to top Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Mario kart 8 deluxe Remastered for the switch 2
@@TinniestPlane22mario kart 9. Double karts with bikes and Atvs anti gravity, flying, and underwater racing.
If wonder can change the game with 2d, 9 will be no problem.
I just don't know how, all people say they would add more characters but that simply would be a dlc
Gimmicky tracks like a track completely covered in fog
The worst example but you get what I mean
And if they decide to make another Mario Kart, they might as well make another Mario Maker as well. People have been asking for both.
I love that all the Booster Course Pass content is finally available! My Wave 6 favorites are SNES Bowser's Castle 3, the Music Player, Wii Rainbow Road, and the credits.
I was completely blindsided by the new credits. The only bad thing is you couldn’t skip them. I was tired of it by the end.
@@Rountree1985 did you try pressing minus?
not to be rude but i definitely skipped them
"the DLC waves looks as good as the vanilla tracks" is a very bold statement lol
Lmfao fr fr
The later ones at least.
Nathaniel put Sky High Sundae way too high up button
No, it's his opinion. Just because you don't agree with the list, doesn't mean it's bad.
I appreciate how Nathaniel B did the research to include the real life land marks in the real life courses. Gotta give my man props for that 👍
Gotta give those props because the actual list is dogshit lmao
Yeah but why did he call the Parthenon the Pantheon 💀
You're doing acrobatics on it
I cannot wait to see Schaffrillas’ ranking.
well now that it's out, what did you think of it?
I agree with most of his thoughts.
The reason why the Booster Course Pass tracks are so wide is in order to be more 200cc-friendly.
Which kinda ruins the whole concept of 200cc tbh. Courses that were made with 150cc in mind are what make driving at 200cc so exhilarating where basic turns suddenly start becoming a lot more commital.
@@thesaltgod Neo Bowser City and Donut Plains 3 at 200cc are the bane of my existence as an Inside drift bike user.
When we went from London Loop to Rome Avanti, you could notice the jump in the graphics. It just tells you how far the BCP went to actually make it’s tracks look good
Bro really tried to say Sky-High Sundae was better than DK Mountain
No, it's because he prefers that track over the other, not because he's gone mad since his opinion doesn't match other people's.
I personally prefer Paris Promenade to Tokyo Blur, because I think there is just a bit more that I found interesting with PP, like the shortcuts, with totally lack on Tokyo Blur in the final lap. I also think the reverse gimmick is a great idea, and you didn't mention that at all. Its obviously just my opinion though.
Same here, I like having Paris Promenade 2R as the final lap.
It's weird as well that Tour already has a variant for Tokyo that combines all of them (Tokyo Blur 4), and that one plays better! MK8 has a completely different version that anyone could whip up in an afternoon (design wise, since it's just TB 1, 2, and 3 in that order).
@@bluejay21.biased too because i love paris
Tokyo blur is the worst city track imo
Tokyo Blur is literally the worst Tour track out of the entire collection. There is practically nothing interesting about it, except the plane in the background. But then again, Sunshine Airport already had planes taking off, and that track is a million times better than the complete borefest that is Tokyo Blur.
Wii Rainbow Road got an incredible remake, they did a great job at making it feel like how you’d remember it being as a kid
I'm actually mad that most of the Tour tracks are at the bottom. They can be good and even more enjoyable than the other retro courses.
Madrid, Rome, Vancouver, and Singapore are all genuinely really strong tracks. Top 15 or 20 tracks from the dlc for me.
get over it dude lmao dont get pissed bc of someone else's thoughts on tracks
What a journey the booster course pass has been....it still feels like it was yesterday that wave 1 was first reveled....
And you know what?
I cannot be upset with what we got in the booster course pass.
I mean we were only promised 48 new tracks in the beginning...but we got so much more on top of that!
8 new characters.
17 new mii costumes.
A music player.
Custom items for VS mode.
Nintendo really went all out for us....and i couldn't be more thankful for all they've given us these past 2 years.
I doubt the next mario kart will live up to how incredible deluxe is kinda like how if there's another smash game then it won't be as insane as ultimate...but i know the next mario kart will still be a great time.
Thank you mario kart 8...for so many years of fun times.
Looking back, these 1.5 years definitely feels like it drastically improved the game.
Wayyy more content, more modes, more options, and good balance changes.
I'd go as far to say that It's undoubtedly the best Mario kart, it isn't even a contest at this point
how tf do you post 3 hours before the video even gets posted
16 Mii costumes and *Moo Moo*
Lcml
Yeah!
Out of all the DLC Tracks, Rainbow Road Wii is hands down my favorite. It's been my favorite track in Mario Kart Wii since I played it and it's been my favorite version of Rainbow Road to this very day. And revisiting Rainbow Road Wii on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is easily my biggest highlight out of all the DLCs.
Man I’m disappointed you think Madrid drive is low, I think it really has unique identity and feel to it, plus it flows really great
A rare case of recency bias dragging an opinion down, methinks, tied to how he thinks the cities are oversaturated
Yes it’s not just me! I wrote a comment saying basically the same thing. Madrid drive is one of the best tour tracks! Playing it on 200cc is so fun
Madrid is definitely up there with Singapore imo those two I'd love to get remade in the next game if they were to add some tour tracks
I recently got around to playing wave 6, and Madrid Drive was actually pretty interesting. I really liked the addition of a soccer stadium near the end of the track, with Goomba shoes kicking balls across the field.
Madrid Drive is my least favourite wave 6 course
I’m from the Netherlands and it’s crazy to me how Nathaniel pronounce these words and places so well for a bit dutchie!
I’m really proud of him!
I honestly enjoyed Mario Circuit 3 and Toad Circuit. The former because I’ve always loved how you can hold super long drifts on those old tracks, and the latter because Toad Circuit was the first level in any video game that I played.
Same.
Yeah they're certainly bland but their layouts give better races than people give them credit for
SNES Mario Circuit 3 to me looks and plays pretty well. But Toad Circuit to me is one of the most boring tracks to drive on, as well as the ugliest looking track in the game. They didn't even try with that one.
@@FrazerEddy I know, it’s really sad.
@@aceash5.065Yeah, you know what else is sad? They didn't include Airship Fortress.
No way you put New York Minute above half of the other tour tracks😂
I would've
Ngl new York is my guilty pleasure
Exactly! It looks so basic!
@@leafycrossing4755 except for the music. I love the music.
@@leafycrossing4755 it feels like over half of the tour tracks are basic in layout. At least this one has objectively pretty scenery
11:30 the funny thing about the final lap in peach garden is that is like having the mission of the DS version where you drive as peach and your opponent is bowser. The final lap it feels like you are playing the mission and that is what I call a blast from the past
GCN DK Mountain is for sure top 5, feels very true to the original and love that they kept the gap jump and kept it at the proper difficulty.
And they added a new shortcut!
Personally I adore the city tracks, geography is my biggest hyperfixation, so driving through different cities and landmarks in Mario Kart fills me with so much joy. My favorite is probably Sidney Sprint, I’m a total fan girl for anything related to Australia and my dream is to live there one day. Singapore Speedway and Rome Avanti are also fantastic imo
I really feel that the Tour "RL" tracks are highly underrated. I mean, the main point of them is to get to see some fun landmarks from countries that are not yours and to see what Nintendo did with landmarks from your country if they made it into the game.
Also, the reason for most tracks in 8 Deluxe (including DLC) to be on the simpler side is because they have to acomodate a bigger casual fanbase now.
Arguably the most interesting thing about Los Angeles Laps is that they straight up threw in some local businesses there, I think that's really cool
DK mountain at THIRTY ONE?????
The fact that Sky High is somewhere besides last place is a crime. What an absolute eyesore of a track.
I'm one of those people that just doesn't see the magic in Waluigi Pinball. It's definitely unique and fun to race on, but I wouldn't put it at the #1 spot. I would've given the top 2 spots to Wii and 3DS Rainbow Road.
fr i think it feels pretty overhyped
The original Version of the Track is easily top 3 of All time but this Version just doesnt feel right
Placing all the city tracks in the low parts of the list, yet Sydney and Singapore so high even though they're the most basic and boring outside of Tokyo, NYC and Paris, is the most NPC thing someone could do. And still putting Waluigi Pinball at 1 is getting infinitely blinded by nostalgia.
Exactly. No critical thinking ability from this guy
Can we stop calling people NPCs? I swear every time I hear that word, it drives me insane. Also, Singapore is not even that basic of a track and is actually really fun to drive through.
The Ninja Hideaway track also has a few Wario touches like the temple at the beginning, the windows and the flags. Definitely a reference to Kat and Ana from Warioware

28:26 Thank you for doing Singapore justice, as I was worried all the cities would be at the bottom lol. Now go visit! It's at the top of my bucket list, entirely because of this track!
don't really want to visit a country that kills people for falling into drugs lmao
I actually had a video idea of visiting all the cities featured in the booster course pass, but that would be a crazy expensive project. Some of them I'd love to visit in my own time tho
Sky High Sundae deserves no other spot than 48th...
Yeah, that's hardly the worst track in my opinion. I think the concept is fantastic, just the design isn't really that great to me.
I don’t think he likes tour tracks….😂
Love to see people whine about 14 of them. They can never avoid them. Stay mad kids
Madrid deserved higher imo
Singapore speedway is my favorite. It has the best music and the track is fun. 10/10
waluigi pinball number 1 is outrageous. I like the track enough but it is nowhere near number 1
Exactly lol. I love that track but it should at least be at like 19 or something
The Booster course pass truly got better and better with each new wave.
Shroom Ridge is too low and Sky High Sundae is too high.
aint no way blud ranked rosalina's ice world higher than DK MOUNTAIN😭😭😭
I WAS GONNA SAY THE SAME THING
He's not normal
Clearly you can't accept that some people have different opinions than yours.
lol i'm not "not accepting" an opinion by having my own opinion.@@FrazerEddy
@@EIZENSTEIN.No, but getting mad just because you don't agree with the list certainly isn't helping.
Who else was holding back tears listening to the Wii Rainbow Road music knowing it would be the final one
As someone who grew up with Mario kart Wii I nearly cried happy tears when Wii rainbow road was added
GOD I hope Pauline becomes a main stage character in the series. I love the musical personality, and also it's Pauline.
SAME. I thought I wouldn't even like her, but I LOVE HER. Like, she's literally my favourite now
Waluigi pinball is pretty good, but it’s not so good it’s first, it should be like 16th or something like that
In my opinion, Squeaky Clean Sprint is #1
The fact Tokyo blur isn’t the worst map is criminal
And sky high sundae. That map is just horrible to play. It’s so so boring to play
@@samuelevans5129 yeah he even says it in the video, yet it still ranks rather high. like be consistent with your ranking at least
Among the city tracks it's objectively the worst
I love you Bandy but I could barely keep it together seeing this list 😅
Thank you for all of the great memories, Mario Kart 8.
I still need some time to ponder my own ranking, but Ninja Hideaway, Squeaky Clean Sprint, Peach Gardens, Waluigi Pinball, Waluigi Stadium, Mushroom Gorge, Daisy Cruiser, DK Mountain, Kalimari Desert, Moonview Highway, Snow Land, Merry Mountain, Athens Dash, Bowser Castle 3, 3DS Rainbow Road, and Wii Rainbow Road stand out as some of my favorites.
I love how the falling animation from MKWii rainbow road is in MK8D
Yeah that was completely unexpected
This list is absolutely crazy and I’m happy the comments agree.
No it's not, it's just one man's opinion, that's all. You think I'd call you crazy for not liking something like Coconut Mall or Waluigi Pinball? Pretty much everyone has their own opinion, you can't just call someone else names because you don't agree with some of their placements.
I think we all should have expected him put that track on 1. It's always been his favourite and while I don't agree its the best I'll accept it because the rest of the list was great.
Waluigi Pinball at number 1 seems a *bit* biased, considering the remake was a little underwhelming with missed opportunities to do an anti-gravity section, and that it's the only reason there's 95 unique track themes instead of 96.
They honestly should have just remade SNES Mario Circuit 4 in this game. It's the only Mario Circuit from this game that hasn't been a retro yet
not until n64 wario stadium gets remade
Before Booster Course Pass
Courses - 48
Battle Courses - 8
After Booster Course Pass
Courses - 96
Battle Courses - 8
Next Mario kart better have more battle courses
I am literally devastated by the fact that almost EVERY SINGLE Wii Track is in the game except my favorite track of all time, Toad's Factory. I can't even begin to describe how upset I was when the last wave was announced. Don't get me wrong, the line up is great, but I would've taken Toad Factory over Toad Circuit any day.
The sheer irony that every other toad track is in 8. Ah well. . .maybe next time. Or not.
@@user-zw3on4bx2t Every Wii Track except Dry Dry Ruins, Bowser's Castle, and the circuit tracks are in 8 which makes it all the more disappointing Toad's Factory didn't make the cut.
@@Goatman_GamerHow did MOO MOO MEADOWS get in over TOAD'S FACTORY?
@@SweetMelaninn because the Shell Cup is supposed to be the basic cup. Toad's factory feels more like a Banana Cup course.

0:13, WHOO! TOAD CIRCUIT, BABY!
Im so tired of wailuigi pinball... I would rank 12/48 at max
okay i like this video but dk mountain at 31 made me a litte sad
nathaniel bandy, thank you for this video i missed hearing you talk about mariokart and all this new stuff was just brought to my attention from this video and i wouldn’t wanna hear it any other way than you
Why is sky garden not last???
How tf is it only one spot away from DK mountain as well? I think he did say he had nostalgia for it or something.
Becuase it's not that bad?
@@rustyshackleford234 lmao i sweaaaar 😂 That shii made me laugh
2:03 from what i understand, the reason for this is because MK8D uses a baked lighting engine, likely to ensure races go smoothly during online
in other words they couldn't use dynamic lighting otherwise they'd have to update the lighting engine for all the other tracks, and imagine Nintendo didn't wanna go through all the hassle
personally, im not bothered by that. it doesn't change anything and is just an aesthetic detail that doesn't really matter in the long run, so while i understand the disappointment, it's just not that big of a deal in my opinion
If that WAS the case, why would they add it into 8DX?? Yoshi Desert, Peach Circuit, or Luigi Circuit would've been much better choices.
Maybe because if was the only version I played of it but it was my second favorite after Yoshi's Island in that release.
@@leafycrossing4755 im not sure tbh. pretty mich every track in the booster course dlc is a track that's been in tour, so either the options you listed weren't actually made in tour, or they felt sunset wilds in particular was a better fit
i can't really say for certain as ive never actually played tour (this dlc was my first time playing the tour original tracks, and i personally loved it)
@@WitherofEarth all 3 of those were in tour, and i feel like Yoshi desert would have been a better pick tbh. Even Luigi circuit would have been great.
in fact, i don't think luigi even has a track in this game at all outside of a single battle course.
Gotta love that not only was Wii Rainbow Road a faithful remake but they even added the detail of your character falling off the track in flames just like the original
I wouldn't call it a "faithful" remake because they nerfed its difficulty a lot by adding a bunch of guard rails, but all the other details are on point
@@Marshall.Rthey do have to appeal to a broader audience, given how many copies this game sold
That's very true I'd say it's faithful to a degree at the very least. It's definitely easier than Wii but that might also be because of the physics differences. All in all I am stupidly happy for its return, the remake is so much fun
@@user-zw3on4bx2t My dude literally the whole point of the original track was to be difficult, and Mario Kart 8's better controls would've already made the track more accessible, Nintendo didn't need to change anything about the track itself.
In my opinion
Wii Rainbow Road is my number 1 pick
I like how the feeling from the wii is still there and how accurate the booster course pass version is.
22:16 THE MISPRONUNCIATION OF DIONYSUS MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL
Nathaniel Bandy has ranked practically everything. I can’t believe it :)
Probaly The ranking i have disagreed with The most ever in MK8.
It was a really nice addition to talk about the real life landmarks. Great video!
Dude, your ranking videos are the GOAT and you'll always be my favorite RUclipsr!
As a Football/Soccer fan I find it so funny how Nathaniel butchered the pronunciation of Santiago Bernabéu when he talked about Madrid Drive
DS Peach Gardens at 33 is a CRIME
Great job with the ranking!
Lets be real. . .we are never seeing a nathaniel bandy ranking that doesnt have waluigi pinball on top
I honest to goodness would put sky high sundae in last place
Can someone please explain to me how Waluigi Pinball is always the best track of all time? Like it's really nice and has a sick ass theme but it's easily the most overrated track of the franchise. All it is is three green turns followed by a borderline straight line, unless you have to move slightly to the side to dodge a pinball. Like I said it's a sick ass track, but number 1? No shot.
please tell me where I'm supposed to use my mushroom on this track
its the definition of "look at the flashy lights"
I have similar thoughts about Airship Fortress and Coconut Mall.

The funny thing to me is I predicted many years ago that if it DK mountain got into MK8, that the ramps on the mountain would like be formed into the rocks on the mountain and was shocked when I played this track and found out that's what they did
I respect your opinions but I’d argue you’re being way too harsh on most of the Tour city tracks. I really like the theming of most of them and while the route changing takes some getting used to, I’d argue it makes tracks more interesting overall since the gameplay is more varied than doing the same things in the same order 3 times (not that the standard 3 lap system is bad as it’s far from it and is actually really good Imo).
Not reading all that 😆
