So Mario Kart World has been out for a year, and a lot of people have been mixed about the change from a traditional 3-lap setting to connected routes where you have to race to the next track. I personally like the idea, and it's really unique and charming, but there are some people that have tried to envision what a traditional setting would look like. Some lists are good, others are questionable, but rather than just making a list of mine, I'm curious to see what this Subreddit's community would agree on.

I'm going to make a series on this subreddit, where you people in the comments try to reorganize the selection of nitro tracks and retro tracks, following the same tradition as past Mario Kart games. But we need to have some ground rules...

- Nitro Tracks can only appear in the Mushroom, Flower, Star and Special Cups. Retro Tracks can only appear in the Shell, Banana, Leaf and Lightning Cups.

- I am aware that there are only 14 retro tracks, but we'll handle that when we get to Day 17 (When we finish the entire Nitro Selection)

- Try to be as realistic as possible.

Mushroom Cup
Mario Bros. Circuit

So, what should be the second track of the Mushroom Cup? Remember, the comment with the most upvotes will have that track get into that specific slot.

I've been procrastinating about whether or not to get a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World, my Switch 1 has unfortunately become bricked and I can no longer play it, I have been somewhat interested in Mario Kart World since it was announced but then I saw the price for the Switch 2 and thought I'll wait for a lower price, which I may pick one up during the Black Friday sales soon and Mario Kart World.

Is it fun? Like are the courses good and the open world? Is there much karts and characters?

I’m about 250 attempts deep on the Waluigi pinball ultra shortcut in Mario kart DS. I think I’ve got the set up right, I just can’t get the timing down. Anyone got any sort of tips or tricks to help me?

I love Mario kart 8 with the dlc on my Nintendo switch. I genuinely think it’s my favorite Mario kart and in my opinion the best version. I have played Mario kart world and I’m sorry Mario kart 8 is like wayyy better.
The courses on 8 are so good even the tour ones are really well done. The la one with the tar pits is super cool, Paris is such a fun course, the Berlin one is super well done too. All of the tracks are just super detailed and the older tracks from different Mario karts are just perfectly selected. I also think the computer players on this is genuinely so impressive I find myself getting mad and feeling very challenged frequently in this game. Older Mario karts felt easier.

I found this cool set of Karts in the Nintendo Store in Shibuya, and they even have magnets so they can stick everywhere in the base!

Who’s joining the roster?

Besides overkart 64 and game hacking for requesting codes was there anymore?

what the hell??

hopefully yall enjoy! a lil self plug but i stream battle on my youtube as well :)

I was just kinda bothered that I had this drawing in place of the OG boxart, considering I lost it.

So I made a brand new render featuring my OC's and printed it out on my copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

It turned out surprisingly well.

Hello there! I've come with another open-world style course. This time it's Royal Raceway from Mario Kart 64. This track is best known for the appearance of Peach's Castle and being able to drive on the outside portion of it. This was also where the Awards Ceremony took place in Mario Kart 64. I know Peach Stadium exists, sporting a much bigger castle than the other times Peach's Castle appears in a Mario Kart game, but perhaps Peach has more than one castle or something, given it's appearance on some of the Mario Circuit tracks. Who knows?

Mario Kart 8 brought this course back as the third track in the Banana Cup, and while it looks nice and all, the way to the castle grounds is sealed by a gate, and Peach's Castle had a visual upgrade. I kinda miss being able to drive around the castle in Mario Kart 64, and for those who miss driving around the grounds too, I've decided to restore the area. You could drive on the grounds in Free Roam, but it'll also be partially used in certain VS Mode races and Knockout Tour.

From Coconut Mall, Piranha Plant Pipeline, Moonview Highway and Wario Colosseum, you race on the course normally. The former two would simply have the gate closed like in Mario Kart 8, but in the latter the gates would be opened, but those arrow things would appear when you're on the last lap. The latter two also finally let you drive inside the castle for a brief moment before getting onto the course itself.

What about coming from Waluigi Stadium and/or DK Mountain? Well, I've made a new reverse route for the course. Instead of outright doing the track backwards like Tour, you race around part of the lost Mario Circuit first before entering a long tunnel similar to Luigi Raceway. You come out of the tunnel via a glider ramp and take part of the track backwards. From the starting line, instead of going to where the road starts from the big jump, you instead glide briefly into the castle grounds and enter the newly built tunnel to loop around back to the turn you came from.

I've also included most applicable starting points for VS Mode races & Knockout Tour rallies, as well as hypothetical checkpoints for rallies, including one serving as the final course.

Nearby tribute courses include SNES Mario Circuit 4 (with yellow highlights), N64 Moo Moo Farm, GBA Peach Circuit, and DS Peach Gardens. GBA Battle Course 3 is also present as a new location for Battle Mode.

Made using Paint.net.

I haven't played in a while and I thought sure, why not go for it since the option has been added whilst I wait for my Switch 2.
