While going underwater was introduced properly in Mario Kart 7, Koopa Cape stuck you underwater through a warp pipe, and that’s after jumping over gaps in a cliff, rushing through a winding stream of water, and throwing yourself over a waterfall. Throwing this one in here simply because it’s one of my personal favourite tracks in all of Mario Kart, I need my Koopa Cape fix again! Split routes aplenty here make for some interesting racing, and as said, traffic on-track always makes things more fun. Think of Moonview Highway from Mario Kart Wii but with a more interesting setting and layout. More traffic you say? Well, Mushroom City has it in spades. With some dope shortcuts to add glide ramps on, and rewarding those with balls big enough to drive up the sides of the bridge, we need more tracks with traffic that isn’t the dull as anything Toad’s Turnpike. Speaking of bridges, this time with more traffic, Mushroom Bridge from Double-Dash!! is quite the simple track layout, but has cars, buses, mushroom vehicles and bloody bombs on wheels. Mushroom Bridge – Mario Kart Double-Dash!! Delfino Square – Mario Kart DSįrom the hectic to the quaint, Delfino Square is one of the most picturesque tracks grounded in normality – at least from a Mario Kart standpoint.Īs much as the architecture of Isle Delfino doesn’t scream Need for Speed or Fast and Furious vibes, racing through the narrow, winding streets of the town and throwing yourself off a bridge definitely do. This thing is mental, and it deserves a remake simply because of how ridiculous it is, and it’s actually a travesty that it’s not been revisited yet. Wrapping up our quadrilogy of questionable character quirks is this ridiculous masterpiece from Mario Kart Double-Dash!!Īs per in Wario tracks, Wario Colosseum is a long layout, requiring only two laps to complete a ‘full’ race. Wario Colosseum – Mario Kart Double-Dash!! Taking this circuit online will definitely lead to some interesting racing, and being flattened by a pinball from behind with no chance of dodging does make this a track to remember. Arguably one of the most whimsical settings in Mario Kart, the main question begs, are the cars small or is the pinball machine large? Waluigi Pinball is quite simply a banging track. Ultimate, so we’ll give him more screen time in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe instead. Waluigi Pinball – Mario Kart DSįans are still clamouring for Waluigi in Super Smash Bros. Though unlike its pseudo-predecessor, this track doesn’t need as much work to modernise it, since it’s got a far more interesting layout and more diverse obstacles to overcome, such as avoiding being nuked by Yoshi lobbing a Bob-omb. Going for the same motocross in a stadium vibe, Waluigi Stadium debuted back in Double-Dash!! and did find itself ported over to Wii. Waluigi Stadium – Mario Kart Double-Dash!! The second-longest track in the game featuring a myriad of jumps and tight corners, we’re yet to see it again in a modern Mario Kart game, so why not now?Īdding in the usual gliding, underwater, and zero-g sections would make this track that little more interesting, but since it’s such a long track in and of itself, it’d be great for that final round of a versus tournament. First up is Wario Stadium from Mario Kart 64. Mario gets all the attention in these games, so let’s give the villains a few circuits to shine on. This track was cracking on both the DS and Wii and we’d love to see it again. Similar to Baby Park’s revamp in 8 Deluxe, this could be another track simply put on a slant and made to be zero-g the whole way round, with a few of the ramps on the split routes enabling gliding to make every lap feel different. Yoshi Falls – Mario Kart DSįrom one handheld to the other and going back to a slightly more straightforward and fun vibe, look no further than Yoshi Falls.įor what is a glorified oval, it’s a lot of hectic fun once racing is underway. Giving it that graphical bump on the Switch over the 3DS would also look spectacular. It’s definitely the most diverse iteration of the track, featuring the titular glassy road, but also multiple sections racing on planet rings, the surface of a moon, and quite a few more places to fall off. Switching things up from the perceptibly easy to the usually rather difficult, we’ve got a few Rainbow Roads present in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already, including those from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64.īut if I had to pick another contender to throw in the ring, it would be the offering from Mario Kart 7 on 3DS.
