I like all the N64 Retro Courses xP (But then again there's not any N64 track I hate originally. So I'm a bit biased there)

Re: Mario Kart 8
Me and my brother played this together yestoday and I played a bit on my own today and I have to say, this game is much better than Mario Kart 7 which I found to be good but flawed in so many areas.
I like the new anti-gravity feature, I saw as a lazy idea at first, but it changed up things a bit and it was used to most of it's potential. The only thing missing was it never got used for loops or corkscrews but it's most likey we'll be seeing it again in the next game so there alaways another time but I liked it neverless.
The roster is eh, there's some dumb choices which made me go WTF. If you thought Metal Mario and Baby Daisy were both bad enough, they had to add in Pink Gold Peach and Baby Rosalina. And then they were the Koopalings, which were nice but took a little too much space that could of been used for Bowser Jr., Diddy Kong, Birdo, Wigglier etc. Everything else is decent though and I 'mgald they given Honey Queen the boot.
The tracks are the best thing about this game though. They were no really boring generic courses this time round but courses that I felt had effort but into them. My favorites were Sky Guy Falls, Mount Wario, Couldtop Cruise and the new Bowser's Castle. The new rainbow road was a disappointment but the N64 makes up for it. The rest the retro tracks felt like they were old but new - which is what they should be. I really liked them all. (expect Music Park which has nothing new added)
Online works well, Nintendo are starting to catch up with other companies with their online and are aren't using as much outdated features. There's no lag at all (Mario Kart 7 was full of lag) and you can get playing very quickly, there's a lot less much waiting this time round. Battle Mode is decent but it would be amazing if was on arenas not courses. Overall I feel like this is something I will be coming back to all the time when I'm board. Keep it up because you still need more titles like this to sell you Wii U's.
I hope it doesn't because it's horrendous.MnSG said:Yui Hirasawa said:They've actually done all of them now.Magikrazy said:Now they have gone through every single Mario Kart 64 track except for my favorite one
N64 Wario Stadium hasn't been done yet.

Re: Mario Kart 8
We're sure not adding any underwater to either of the courses either. Music Park would make no sense, since it's floating. If you try to swim through lava in Grumble Volcano, you're bound to burn your fucking face off. But with that SMS glitch, anything is possible, I guess.
Don't forget about Grumble Volcano, which had nothing new added (except the glider panels, but they were all optional and they don't really count). They could of made the cave section antigravity. For Music Park, I can't see any anti-gravity, except maybe the two xylophones.NSY said:

Re: Mario Kart 8
One thing I really love about the N64 Rainbow Road in this is that it's like the closing course. You have just one huge lap that is split into three, and you got the triumphant music playing as you're going, and it feels like the last race of the game. It's like "this track is a treat for you to just go and enjoy! No having to worry too much about anything and not really any threats or dangers to worry about. Enjoy the scenery!"
Plus, it's so much more relaxing when you got to it after racing on Piranha Plant Slide and Rumble Volcano, both of which can be a pain in the neck.

Re: Mario Kart 8
It helps that it's a pretty easy track with no obstacles that are actually threatening.

Re: Mario Kart 8
I feel like most of the selected retro courses aside from the ones that are actually from 64 actually were originally referencing Mario Kart 64 to begin with. In that a large chunk share the same names of other courses from 64 and others are a little more complicated:

Wario Stadium & Sherbet Land: Self explanatory
Dry Dry Desert: Japanese name for Kalimari Desert
Moo Moo Meadows & DK Jungle: Names are close enough
Cheep Cheep Beach: Original Beta was called Nokonoko Beach, lit. Koopa Troopa Beach
Tick-Tock Clock: Not specifically Mario Kart 64 but still originates from the Nintendo 64 anyway.
So including the 4 that are straight from 64 that's 11 out of 16 retro tracks, the only thing I can make out of this is that the ReUmagined N64 remakes could be a thing and it's easier to create assets for multiple games for the one system, for example the textures in Royal Raceway and Tick-Tock Clock could easily be reused in a supposed Super Mario 64 remake. Other than that it's only some neat thing I've noticed with the retro track selection and the dev team wanted to pay tribute to Mario Kart 64.
