Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I hope I'm explaining this as well as I can, it is nice to have someone who knows the files in the game around, Kamek is the first time I've ever noticed it.

Now the real question is, is Birdo's model also from Tour, made from scratch, or repurposed a Switch model.

Well the answer is that Birdo's model is from Tour (if not from another game) the texture layout is identical

Wave 6 predictions

Acorn Cup:

Tour Rome Avanti
SNES Vanilla Lake (1 or 2, I forget which is in Tour)
GCN Dino Dino Jungle
Piranha Plant Pipeline

Spiny Cup

Tour *city*
Piranha Plant Cove
GCN Bowser's Castle
Wii Rainbow Road
 
The SNES track is likely SNES Bowser Castle 3 since it looks like it was built with anti-gravity in mind when added to Tour.
 
I want Dry Dry Ruins the most if I want a track from Wii.
 
If Mario Kart Tour ever plans to add N64 Bowser's Castle, it would be an interesting course to see in the Spiny Cup.
 
athens tour genuinely feels like a custom tracks with how poorly they convey what's up ahead how is this a real official course
 
i wasn't even in elementary school when i visited athens with my parents, but one of my clearest and most cherished memories from that trip were the low-poly buildings and trees dotting the surroundings of the ancient sites

this week i took a trip down memory lane with the newest Athens Dash course in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe -- Booster Course Pass DLC for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game on the Nintendo Switch family of systems (available now for only €24.99!). i was absolutely flabbergasted and moved to tears to see this course honour my childhood memories with such a high level of fidelity.

Looks like even the quiet and secluded downtown from Wet Dry World went above and beyond to protest, in politically unstable Athens, the dilapidated, impoverished, rotting, texture-bleached state of Booster Pass tracks especially compared to the luxurious, beautifully maintained, and tourist centerpiece of the Mario Kart 8 base game tracks.
