Re: Mario Kart 8

Because if you don't like them they are automatically bad.

And yes, Nintendo went out of the way to make the game bad just to spite you. Aren't they great?

Re: Mario Kart 8

Anyone else feel like Nintendo went out of their way this installment to pick bad retro tracks like they did with the DS installment. I didn't really like any of the retro tracks except maybe a few such as N64 Rainbow Road though even that had its flaws such as how it got shortened to 1 lap instead of 3 destroying the essence of an epic finale that Rainbow Roads are supposed to be.

No I like a lot of the retro tracks like N64 Rainbow Road, N64 Yoshi Valley, GCN Sherbet Land, N64 Royal Raceway, DS Tick Tock Clock and even SNES Donut Plains 3.

Bad retro tracks? You've got to be joking! While there are 1 or 2 in every installment that aren't that great, Mario Kart 8 has a really good selection of them.
And I don't agree that it shattered the "essence of an epic finale". The 1 lap in my opinion was really good and 3 laps would of made it so long and boring like in the original. 7's Rainbow Road had sections and everyone loved it.

I find that this game had the best selection of retro courses. It was like my wish list of what I wanted. But N64 Toad's Turnpike they made that ok, road is too big, cars don't come at you in Mirror Mode and Music is too techno. And N64 Rainbow Road just needed one extra lap to be excellent, but it's still a great course. But I still like both.

I think DS had the worst selection of retro courses. Wii was fine but a few I hated and 3DS.. I have to see what was used, all I remember is Dino Dino jungle and SNES Rainbow Road.

7's was awesome, it had stuff like Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, Mushroom Gorge, Koopa Cape, Maple Treeway, Coconut Mall and Kalimari Desert.

I would of preferred Mushroom Gorge to be in 8, but in 7 the bounciness was improved greatly.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Mario Kart 7 went out of its way to pick good tracks in my opinion.

There was: GBA Bowser Castle 1, Wii Mushroom Gorge, DS Luigi's Mansion, N64 Koopa Beach, Wii Coconut Mall, GCN Daisy Cruiser, Wii Maple Treeway, Wii Koopa Cape, GCN Dino Dino Jungle, and SNES Rainbow Road for a total of 10 good tracks.

So total listing on how many great/bad tracks from each game in Mario Kart 7's retro department:

SNES: 1/1
N64: 1/2
GBA: 1/0
GCN: 2/0
DS: 1/3
Wii: 4/0

Re: Mario Kart 8

Except for N64 Yoshi Valley. My god why did they have to make the N64 receive one more tracks than other games. Their track layout isn't THAT good.
