I really hope that we will get a 96 race option for versus mode.

All that matters is that DK Mountain has that bridge at the end where all the chaos happens. That has made the entire booster course pass worth the $25 alone. The rest was just icing on the cake.

Replacing ppp w ice world still shocked me but I guess it’s fair since they need a somewhat winter track and I’m all here for it

I think you correct. The reason of Piranha Plant Pipeline's exclusion could be because of issues with the camera. Anyone whos seen this as a custom track should know what im talking about. The prefix leak shows that there was going to be another nitro track, but they likely didn’t know it was going to be this one when they made the plans, because it probably didn’t exist yet.

I’m really hoping for a surprise element with Daisy Circuit, perhaps a switched up third lap? It’d be the only reason why it deserves to come after DK Mountain in the cup

Thanks for pointing out the halfpipe in Rosalina's Ice World. I never really liked that track in 7 (though admittedly part of that was because it was the only 7 nitro without gliding, which disappointed me), but with the new shortcut at the end and new halfpipes, I will definitely enjoy it more

Great video! Glad to see Rosalina's Ice World as someone else's most hyped track, and nice to see some speculation about Daisy Circuit being the third track as I also found this off. Although there's a better chance it means nothing, I think there's a slight chance it could pull a Peach Gardens.

I was actually really excited for DK Mountain (I had to stop myself from screaming). It had been my most wanted Track since Wave 1, and I held on like a stubborn baby. And I am SO GLAD that I held on for all this time.

Albert Boris, the reason they put Wii Daisy Circuit as the Acorn Cup's 3rd track is to prepare us for lap changes on Laps 2 and 3 for this track

Glad I could enjoy this journey with you Albert!

You know it’s a good day, when Albert Boris comes to play

PPP will be in the next Mario Kart game,Don’t worry

I am SUPER excited for Rosalina’s Ice World!

Wii Rainbow Road and Rosalina’s Ice World could be a call back to Galaxy cause the day the trailer came out Super Mario Galaxy turned 16 years old

It makes sense why Pipeline got snuffed so glad they picked a cool track, some people don’t like Rosalina Ice World but I think it’s the wing doesn’t match the special cup in 7 so hopefully it gets that second chance

4:47 can we talk about warios cake

I agree with your theory about why Pipeline was cut, except I believe Daisy Circuit was the track that they replaced it with. This is because Daisy Circuit was in development much more recently, and was probably more convenient to add on short notice than Ice World. Also, that could maybe explain why Daisy Circuit is Acorn 3. Maybe Pipeline was originally planned for Acorn 3, but when it was scrapped for Daisy Circuit, they didn’t change the placements for whatever reason, but that’s a bit of stretch. I’m sad that this journey is almost over, but I’m SUPER excited to play these tracks!!

I was waiting for this video to come out! Your insight is always so refined! Im glad I got to see it!

It's been an amazing journey. Thanks for the great videos covering the BCP across the last almost 2 years.

There’s not enough tracks in tour for another BCP, even if you count scrapped ones like the Wuhus, Ghost Valley 3, and Banshee Boardwalk. Most I can see is 2 more surprise waves for a total of 8.

I'm 90% certain Daisy Circuit replaced Pipeline, not only do the visuals look the most hastely cobbled together, but it's also super simple, doesn't feel too out of place, and maybe they weren't even planning to show off a sircuit track in the direct in the first place 🤔

While I was confused with PPP cut. I do love Rosalina's Ice World since it was one of my favorite 3DS Tracks

I love Rosalinas Ice World and thought Pipeline was very mid,so I'm happy it got replaced. Would like to see it in the next game tho. Still another absolutely kingly Albert Boris Video.

It was a magical journey up to the end… thank you for your predictions and videos about that, I watched every single one of them before and after the new waves… Thank you for this journey !

Pipeline will probably have a chance to show up in the next Mario Kart Still would've liked it to appear because it's one of the best tour tracks

Maybe we will get a suprise cup that will bring the total track count to 100? If it was the case we could see: Mushroom Bridge Shy Guy Bazar Airship Fotress Pipeline

Good analysis. Once Wave 6 has been out for a bit, will be very curious to see your final rankings for all the courses. Would be interesting to see the rankings of just the BCP courses and then the rankings of all 96 courses.

5:32 "next up is daisy circuit, for real now" *ad starts playing*

Alternative titles: “Half of Wave 6 I’m not too excited for”, and “I’m gonna roast DK Mountain at every chance I can possibly get”. Jokes aside, I’m really excited for Wave 6 and DK Mountain is my most anticipated wave. Sad we didn’t get some others like *cough* Mushroom Bridge, *cough cough* Dry Dry Ruins, *COUGH HACK HICAPTH* Airship Fortress, *clears throat*, oh and I guess Piranha Plant Pipeline too.

I'm glad we're getting Rosalina's Ice World. It's my most underrated track in the series, one of my favorites from 7.

HAHAHAHA For some reason I am DYING laughing when you said "WHAAAAT!?" at the no piranha plant pipeline

Dawg, Rosalina’s ice world hits me hard as nostalgia. This addition is awesome and creative being the second to the special cup and spiny she’ll cup. Pretty fire inclusion, thank you Nintendo, very cool

What’s with the DK mountain hate. That’s one of the best tracks in the game but to each their own.

Oh well, maybe next game we get pirhana plant pipeline, when this game turns 15 years old Also, the wrocky wrench in Rome is not based on the modern version, rather the classic smb3 look

This wave is definitely the best. Rome Avanti is a very great city track and is even my 2nd favorite city track. DK Mountain is, well DK Mountain which is my favorite track of all time (also love how they removed those annoying wooden ramps.) Daisy Circuit is a simple but enjoyable track. While I would've prefered Pipeline, Cove is a very solid track and unique as well. I actually used to think Madrid Drive was mid when it first came out, but It's grown on me and is amazing. Rosalina's Ice World was completely unexpected and is a very great pick, underrated track. Bowser's Castle 3 is just amazing. Those visuals are amazing, remix is amazing, and the track isn't flat!! (I hope this means for the future SNES remakes will be like GBA ones, it's been way too long for SNES tracks to continue being flat.) And of course, we got Wii Rainbow Road. Just a stellar track. *I would also like to point out that while I was very wrong on the track picks, almost a year ago I called that wave 6 would only have 1 nitro instead of 3. And people called me crazy..*

I feel like we will get a last cup so that theres 100 tracks which could include ds airship fortress, pipeline, Wuhu Loop and something else

The biggest surprise for me when the trailer showed was just how GOOD these tracks look. Some of them even look like base game tracks. That one screenshot from the top of the hill on Wii Rainbow Road puts me in chills

Daisy Circuit can’t really go backwards, because unlike Peach Gardens, it doesn’t really have an unused route like Peach Gardens. Daisy Circuit simply doesn’t have a way to make us go backwards

Theory-- What if we get a Mario Kart Ultimate for the Switch 2 which includes every course made? In this case theyre currently remaking every course, using Tour models for most, thus why the courses look better each wave: theyre all being improved and improved for a future release. This would explain how a course like Piranha Plant Pipeline, and many fan favorites, didn't make it; theyre saving them for the new game. The BCP and Tour can act as a way to affectively make up for the high costs of making the game (buying the BCP now and full ultimate later would cost $85 -- more likely to pay for the BCP and then full game later instead of paying $85 all at once).

I actually predicted Daisy Circuit as the 3rd track of the Acorn Cup 😀

Who would want dry dry ruins instead of daisy circuit

I'm okay with them leaving out Pipeline, if we get it in the next game. I just wish they also added some karts and gliders from Tour. I love the cat-paw glider and the bratwurst kart. qwq

I doubt they had any foresight back in the early waves as evidence by how rushed out they feel, but man, it should have been like Sky High Sundae who got the boot

Super hyped for wave 6 wii rainbow road Bowser's castle and dk mountain are awesome

I expected Piranha Plant Pipeline not making it

Pipeline could've been so cool to see. Imagine if the pipes were in anti-gravity, with you being able to drive on every bit of them like that one slide level in Galaxy 2

The Exclusion of Piranha pipe pipeline for me makes me theorise that the secret cup theory may not be as bullshit as i wouldve first thought

Rosalina's Ice World, my favorite track and my favorite Rainbow Road are coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! 🤩

4:36 I love how your the least excited for DK mountain, but it’s in my top 3 most anticipated tracks this wave lmao

Well, it certainly has been a ride, and hopefully, the next entry will have even more to offer, now that we’re finally at the end of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!

YASSS LETS GOO WAVE 6

Good video, i couldn’t really watch it since I’m at a hotel but i read subtitles lol. I don’t really care for anything this wave has to offer but I’ll play it

imagine they piranha plant pipeline in a secret cup, along with the 3 other rainbow roads were missing, thus rounding the track count up to 100 and ending the booster course pass perfectly

I can’t believe the MK8 era is coming to an end after 9 years.

I won't lie, Dkm is by no means a difficult track imo

The explosion punchline never gets old

11:56 actually the term "upbeat" in a song doesn't mean what allot of people think it means "upbeat" either can refer to the literal upbeats of a song or you can say a song is "upbeat" to say it mainly utilizes its upbeats (example: london loop) but i agree that wii rr's music is allot more energetic and celebratory

200cc will be chaotic on Daisy Circuit, so many things can go wrong especially going around the lighthouse at the end lmao.

Spaniard here. Madrid's OST in 8 Deluxe actually sounds way more Spanish than Tour one. It sounds Andalusian but whatever, is still Spain.

I really hope that in Wii rainbow road, the song will be Rainbow Road ( yk which one I'm talking about).

Te leftovers from Tour will probably be used for Nintendo Switch 2.

10:11 Damn right. Such a charming little game.

I’m excited for most part, sad we’re not getting Dino Dino Jungle but most of these tracks I’m experience for first time since skipped Wii & 3DS entries so this be good ending to journey

Think about the ppp situation this way: Do you really want another tour track? We have so many of them, I believe we only have 3 3DS tracks in the BCP, so I was happy about another one! (Wish it was wuhu loop tho lmao)

I have a feeling I raced you in 8DX yesterday but you got DC’d after one race. I hope that was not an imposter 😂

Tbh, the underwater pipe in Koopa Cape was a bit janky if you didn't use the half pipe so kinda glad Pipeline got looked over

I feel like they should’ve teased DK Mountain, so that way we would’ve had the jungle argument finished with a lot sooner, there wouldn’t be as many people arguing against Wii Rainbow Road, and Daisy Circuit would’ve been a Huge surprise

For all they waves so far wave 4 has been my favourite but i do think this last one will become the best

I Was Hoping Pipeline Would Somehow Make It Because I Didn't Play It In Tour Because I Thought It Will Be Added.

Im willing to bet that Pipeline is gonna be a retro in the next game. It could be the only tour one. I could also see a secret cup but I doubt they're going to do that. I'd give it like a 10% chance.

I was actually hoping for no Piranha Plant Pipeline, two Piranha Plant tracks in one wave would be way too… flat.

Like you said I am SO GLAD we got Piranha Plant Cove instead of Pipeline, I despise Pipeline, to me it really does seem to similar to Piranha Plant Slide, mind you I am not a fan of Piranha Plant Slide as well, and the music for pipeline is very forgettable to me, and the track design is just super basic and boring to play. Sad we didn't get Mushroom Bridge but I had low hopes for getting 2 GCN's especially towards the end, but super excited to play DK Mountain!

ngl in the end im happy with the bcp as a whole (also im happy without pipeline XD)

The only reason I wanted DK Mountain was for the shortcuts… I would have much preferred ddj if we weren’t gonna get the shortcuts ):

I don't know if Pipeline was ever planned really. If it was, that means they have always planned for Cove and Pipeline to come in the same wave (given they'd be filling in CSNW_64 and CNSW_67 respectively) and that Pipeline would have always been planned to come in Wave 6 when in reality it plays and feels more like a Wave 1 or 2 track. Also if they really were planned to both be in Wave 6 that far in advance, I don't understand why they would give them such similar names. I think Pipeline was created purely just to give Tour a unique track of its own, and was never meant to come to the BCP. That would also explain why it feels so halfhazardly put together compared to other nitros and reuses a lot of assets from other courses like DS Mario Circuit and Rome Avanti and Piranha Plant Slide. Now why every city track had to come when their intent was never to preserve every single track? That is beyond me lol, surely they could have cut 1 or 2 of them and saved them for the next game to give the pass a bit more variety. Maybe it's because of the way their alternate routing works with the arrows and maybe they didn't want any of that in the next game idk.

Im so hiped for Rosalyna ice wordle

I think I thought of it. They are going to have 2 SNES, 1 N64, 2 GBA, 2 GCN, 2 DS, 2 Wii, 2 3DS, and 2 MK8 Nitros so they are doing Pipeline since N64 only has one more Nitro left to be used again for the next game (I do not know what the label would be since it is on the WiiU and in the Switch. It did come on the WiiU first so IDK. They will have some repeats and some old Nitro that has not been used for some extra cups but that is for the main 4 Retro cups

As long as it plays well, it was worth the cut. Even then, I’m still shocked if it’s inclusion. Nintendo just *LOVES* surprises I guess.

Im excited for every track im so happy funky kong got in and two more wii tracks☠️☠️☠️

i feel like dokan (ppp) should have had the spot of moonview highway in the 5th wave, for some reason they didn't like it (i'm expecting it would have made for a weird race with 12 players and scrapped it) or ig they didn't have it ready yet, thus moonview made the cut (which was supposed to be wave 6 placement 3, the daisy circuit one). now they had to add cove as a more difficult course and they thought that havibg 2 tracks in the same wave souding similar is meh, as such either dc or rosalina's ice world made it in

Even if they DID block off the shortcut on DK Mountain, the Mario Kart community will find a way to hop the fence.

Can't wait to see SilokHawk make a 15 minute video batching and moaning about the most minute detail.

Spiny cup is already showing lots of potential of becoming my favourite cup in the game. I just hope Madrid will play nicely in Mario Kart 8's engine, since some of the cities can feel pretty janky at times.

It looks like wave 3 may finally be beaten, wave 6 is probably gonna be the best.

I think DK mountain is in the second spot for the first cup because of the same reason Daisy Cruiser was like this in wave five, they were supposed to be in the wave before but missed out.

Is it just me or does this wave look better than the base game besides the trees on Madrid drive.

Now that’s what DC replace PPP wow!

Nice 👍

Another thing that’s weird about this wave is that there are no GBA courses which does make sense because they put in most of the themes from GBA but at the same time Bowser’s Castle 4 was already in tour so idk maybe they’re saving it for the next Mario kart game

Makes sense.. I would say "They could've done airship fortress" but it would clash with bowser castle 3. I mean luigi's mansion was also in tour... Huh.. It's crazy that out of 96 tracks none are luigi themed

No they scrambled together to make a remaster of Daisy Circuit

goated vid

I hated Piranha Plant Pipeline so I'm glad it's being excluded. It was basically on the level of a Mushroom Cup course. Too short, too simple for Wave *Six.*

NO WAY YOURE MORE EXCIED FOR THE TOUR TRACKS THAN DK MOUNTAIN!?!?!?

We're still missing 51 Courses at this point. Time to announce Booster Course Pass 2!

Good days living in my mind ☺

I'm sad pipeline didn't get in cause the live band would've went hard in this I think rosalinas ice world is a curve ball but I tend to love that one track epspically for the piano but they went hard on this one huge props can't wait ot play this in 2 days time

3:40 So that's why in the Italian translation the track's called "Romantic Rome"😂

They hold back Pipeline for wage 1 of bcp2 im sure.

The one thing they should do is let you select who races with you in GP I’m tired of seeing Inkling Link Villager and Isabelle show up in a race they’re NOT MARIO CHARACTERS
