![]() ![]() Combine that with custom music for each section, and you have one of the greatest of all time. You couldn’t fit it all in a normal sized track if you tried. There’s so many ideas crammed in here: the ski slopes, the dam, the forest. Unlike N64 Rainbow Road or Big Blue, Mount Wario didn’t set out to be a showstopper, but it is anyway. Mount Wario isn’t the only giant race track with no laps, it just does it the best. Baby Park became a battlefield, bombarded with green shells, banana peels and boomerangs. Everyone was screaming by the end of lap two. Someone picked the Crossing Cup, and the war was on. It took awhile to connect all the controllers. But do you remember that one time? You invited a few friends over to play four player Mario Kart. It’s pure delight cooked down to a race track. There’s custom coins with Yoshi’s face on them, Shy Guys standing on stilts, and a secret sky bridge. ![]() The newest track on this list, Yoshi’s Island has only been around since March but has 200cc’d its way to the near top. But it’s also not fair how much my little nephew brags about being good at Mario Kart even though I secretly turn on the steering assist for him. Is it fair for Animal Crossing to get such a high ranking when it’s basically four tracks in one? Not really. Hit that drift down the waterslide just right, and ascend. No flashy gimmicks, no eye popping set pieces, just a perfectly executed track that you’ll never get tired of. The music rules, there’s lasers, lava, and a giant Bowser statue punching the track like a straight college kid who just got cheated on. So much has changed, can you really call it the same track? #8 - Bowser’s Castleīowser’s Castle goes hard, but you knew that already. An answer to the age old question: “What if it was Yoshi?” #9 - Ribbon RoadĪ remake of the GBA track, but not really, because Ribbon Road takes the original concept and blows it wide open. It’s the kind of genius/stupid idea that I love Nintendo for. What is likely the result of some poor game designer who had to come up with one more idea before lunch, Yoshi Circuit is just a track shaped like Yoshi, and miraculously, it works. Along the final straightaway, you can hit some extra jump boosts, but only if you can keep a beat. #11 - Music ParkĪ 3DS banger, Music Park is a tight track that’ll have you drifting along pianos and bouncing off of drums. By lap three, things have fallen apart more than my last relationship. Oh, and hitting boosts off the giant eel is pretty fun too. Make sure to wear protection while racing in Dolphin Shoals, because that saxophone lick might just get you pregnant. Watch out for falling boulders and some seriously unforgiving turns that are more than happy to launch you off a cliff. Then it’s a race back down to the finish line. This one starts off by shooting you right out of a goddamn canon. #14 - DK MountainĭK Mountain is for real gamers. Or maybe you just never got a Wii as a kid. Wouldn’t you give it all up to drive go karts around a farm at sunset? If you don’t like Moo Moo Meadows you have a problem. Probably the least exciting pick on the list, but come on. Impressive, but (spoiler alert) we think there’s another giant track that does it just a little bit better. One giant track so loaded up with boost pads and conveyor belts that your ass will be clenched the entire ride, almost like you’re vying for first place in F-Zero 99. Try not to delay commuters by ramming into the train with a bullet bill. There’s plenty of Mario Kart tracks where you have to weave in and out of traffic, but only one where you’re drifting between two subway cars like some tweaked out New Yorker. And stay away from the giant rotating Yoshi egg, whatever you do. In preparation for this article we sent our intern down to Yoshi Valley to figure out what the most optimal path through this clusterfuck is, but we haven’t heard from him in a few days. Let’s make like salmon and drive up a goddamn waterfall. Leave behind your Mario Circuits, your Toad Harbors, your Wario Stadiums. #19 - Shy Guy FallsĪ perfect proof of concept for Mario Kart 8’s anti-gravity feature. Plus it’s a loving homage to the underground levels from Super Mario Bros. #20 - Piranha Plant Slideĭiving in with what is objectively the best track that takes place inside a Mushroom Kingdom water treatment plant, Piranha Plant Slide won’t crack many top ten lists, but it still deserves some love. Here are the top 20 tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to race around in circles on with your friends. The final wave of DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is here, and while not everyone’s favorite tracks made the cut (rest in peace Airship Fortress) there are still some damn good ones out there. ![]()
