Forgot to clarify in the video, but I think Toad’s Factory would be saved for a DLC. Just like Coconut Mall for 8DX’s, Toad’s Factory can be the selling point. 🫡

I don't think we're gonna get another BCP for the next game, because the main reason the BCP was made is because they had the tracks already in Tour.

The only change I'd make is Dry Dry Ruins for Toad's Factory. It's never been remade, not even in Tour, and we already have a desert course that, knowing how good base Mario Kart 8's GBA remakes were, gives me hope it'll be fantastic. Toad's Factory is a fan favorite and NEEDS to come back in the next Mario Kart game

I honestly think GBA should be the definitive Retro Rainbow Road of Mario Kart X. It's the next one chronologically following N64 in 8 and SNES in 7 prior. We have seen the ambition on what they're doing to GBA tracks lately, ever since the amount of what we got from Tour and the reimaginations of Ribbon Road, Cheese Land, Boo Lake, Riverside Park, etc. I hope that GBA's Rainbow Road gets the glow up it deserves.

can’t wait for Mario to loudly say “MARIO KART TWITTER!” when booting up the game!

These are pretty good picks! I love the Fiery Gobblegut Dragon Driftway idea

Toads factory has so much potential

Changing laps on the originally 2D courses is actually such a good idea. Nintendo has to use it

7:53 they're both just figure 8s...

Maybe add Toad's factory too, since this has never been remade.

i love most of these picks! your channel is quite underrated and is deserving of my attention btw

Not gonna lie, I think since we’re so far from even 3DS now (MK8 released in 2014), any course not included in MK8DX should be eligible imo

Honestly with me ignoring the rainbow road pattern, i wanted gcn Rainbow Road because of the final lap variant

Nicee video. Would love Cheep Cheep island and Airship Fortress. Looking forward to Mario Kart X/next Mario Kart Game. Like the returning tracks you chose and looking forward to the new tracks.

Hearing him saying Dry Dru Ruins instead of Toad's Factory gave me horrible chest pain after that after feeling good he included Airship Fortress became its my #1 favorite track in Mario Kart!

Good video! You're punching above your subscriber count with the thought put in and overall quality. I do have to call two things into question. One is that Wii Mario Circuit is pretty similar to Figure 8 Circuit layout-wise, so putting in Luigi Circuit or Toad's Factory would probably be the way to go. The other thing is that double-dipping from a prior cup doesn't seem to be a big deal (hell, 7 had 3/4 of N64's Mushroom Cup), but it didn't cause any questionable decisions so I can't complain. Great work once again! Would love an evaporating Vanilla Lake :)

No where is toads factory and they would add gba rr cause its next after n64

3:16 "I could have picked Sherbet Land, but that was recently in Mario Kart Wii." My brother in Christ, MKW is old enough to be a sophomore in high school.

This may be a stretch but I think the next game is going to have a base of 48 if not 64 tracks. That way it can keep ip with MK8 deluxe and include more retros because as more games come out less retro tracks will be represented from each individual game.

While I would like DS Rainbow Road as the final track in MKX, since I grew up with it, I just don't see it happening. Why? Well because MK7 ended with SNES RR, and MK8 ended with N64 RR, so it feels very likely that MKX will end with GBA RR, as it seems nintendo is going in order with them

Only thing I can think of to improve this is change one of the desert tracks to Toads Factory - Then it’s a perfect list :) Keep up the great content! This video was so well made.

Very good predictions

That fiery gobble gut idea is amazing, i never would have thought of that!

0:23 Quick correction the BCP had 9 wii tracks.

Mario Circuit over Toad's Factory. That takes balls.

I think we're moving to a point where people want everything and with increasing system strength we could see EVERY track come back somehow

Great Video Pengu! This selection of retro courses seems likely and I think it would be cool to see these tracks!

0:17 Nintendo also does internally

you even put a lot of thought into the track count also this video is pretty good :)

Actually Mario Kart 9 is going to be the 12th Installment of the Series because of Mario Kart Arcade GP and the Series Spin-off known as Diddy Kong Racing But I hope we get it by the time it's Mario's 45th Anniversary in 2026 and this time "NOTHING TOUR RELATED" because the Booster Course Pass isn't real DLC and I think every BCP track to return except for the Tour ones

Ngl you INSTANTLY earned a sub for this i love how fair this video was with your reasoning only suggestion would be to organize the races you chose in the cups like I can figure out you would put figure 8 circuit as the first and your bowser castle and rainbow road picks at the very end. Otherwise amazing video now that you mention 25 tracks as dlc earlier in video i got some ideas SNES: Koopa Beach since you mentioned you thought of it N64: DK Jungle Parkway due to unique atmosphere GBA: luigi circuit luigi should get a course and i think a circuit course is a given plus we got figure 8 for beginner, wii mario for advanced and this for more advanced GCN: wario collissium screw it DS: luigi mansion for 2nd haunted and dk pass for snowy mountain since vanilla lake reps ice rinks and frappe snowland represents simple snow world Wii: toads factory for fan service 3ds: mario circuit for another circuit Wii u: im doing 4 Electrodrome, shy guy falls, super bell subway and cloudtop cruise for their more unique themes Tour: singapore speedway for city rep and then squeaky clean sprint Bowser castle pick: gba bowser castle 4 Rainbow road pick: double dash

7:51 The Mario Circuit in Wii was technically remade in the Olympics spinoffs, as was Moo Moo Meadows, but I doubt those count. Then again, Seaside Hill is like a Sonic equivalent.

I hope we start with 48 tracks with 24 nitros and 24 retros. A BCP with 48 tracks should also happen. I hope it’s either that or include every single track in history.

Sometime ago I had a "Retro Grand Prix Concept" for the next Mario Kart Game Shell Cup DS Figure-8 Circuit SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 1 Wii U Sweet Sweet Canyon Wii Toad's Factory Banana Cup 3DS Wuhu Loop SNES Mario Circuit 4 Wii U Sunshine Airport GCN Mushroom City Leaf Cup Wii Dry Dry Ruins GBA Broken Pier Wii U Electrodrome 3DS Maka Wuhu Lightning Cup N64 Wario Stadium Wii U Cloudtop Cruise DS Bowser's Castle GBA Rainbow Road

TOAD’S FACTORY MUST RETURN TOO!!

Nice edits man!

I think Nintendo is gonna be pretty picky with the MK8 tracks specifically because I don't think antigravity will return. It was a good idea, but it was executed as little more than a cheap gimmick, and people didn't really care for it all that much. That's why I think the MK8 retros will be Mount Wario along with some boring tracks no one cares about.

2:42 Banshee boardwalk is most likely not returning since it already returned in DS. Same with every other map on this list that returned in DS, Wii, 3DS, or 8 base game. I noticed that if an old map returned as a retro in any other game (before BCP) it never came back again. I am almost certain if it returned in BCP, it will not be a retro for this game… if it ever comes out

My MKX Retro Predictions: Shell Cup: - Tour Sydney Sprint - Wii Mario Circuit - SNES Vanilla Lake - Wii Toad’s Factory Banana Cup: - GCN Mushroom City - 3DS Wuhu Loop - DS Luigi’s Mansion - Wii U Toad Harbor Leaf Cup: - Tour Squeaky Clean Sprint - DS Delfino Square - GBA Sunset Wilds - N64 Frappe Snowland Boomerang Cup: - GCN DK Mountain - GBA Yoshi Desert - GBA Bowser’s Castle 4 - Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Propeller Cup: - Tour Yoshi’s Island - Wii Moonview Highway - Wii U Cloudtop Cruise - 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar Lucky Cat Cup: - GCN Peach Beach - Wii U Electrodrome - Wii Koopa Cape - GBA Lakeside Park Bell Cup: - Wii U Ice Ice Outpost - DS Airship Fortress - 3DS Wario Shipyard - Wii U Super Bell Subway Lightning Cup: - Tour Athens Dash - GCN Wario Colosseum - Wii Bowser’s Castle - GBA Rainbow Road

Why did you chose Wii Mario Circuit over Wii Toad's Factory? Toad's Factory has never returned, not even in Tour, and has an unique theming. In my opinion, it's a far better choice than Wii Mario Circuit

I think Piranha Plant Pipeline will be presented as a nitro track in the next game, because the other Tour non-city nitros were presented as 8 Deluxe nitros (as in not having "Tour" precede the name).

Where's toad's factory 😭😭 (besides that I agree on your picks)

Courses who are already remade can't be a retro track in a new Mario kart game.

Rip Toad Factory No-one cares about him for some reason

Im saving this video for when MK10 comes out so I can see how correct you were.

"GBA Rainbow Road is to short to be a finisher" Thats poor reasoning as SNES Rainbow road was a MK7 retro Rainbow road

Wario Coloseeum and Electrodrome would be great DLC contenders for Mario Kart X

I’m only in the intro but I think you think way too hard on being numerically consistent, being balanced, and what feels “fair”. I feel like Nintendo doesn’t care that much about consistency and equality and does what they think would be cool as they immediately brought back SNES Rainbow Road in 8 and they never cared too much about cups.

Hopefully Toads Factory makes it in.

New! Super Mario Kart Switch

agree with all except figure 8 circuit, if you want to terraform that track into something reminiscent of U mario circuit just port U mario circuit (although it's not a U track I'd pick personally)

GCN bowser's castle has never been remake before

If this game doesn’t have toad’s factory, I’m not buying it

Mario Kart Track Maker would be very interesting

Personally I would change DS rainbow road for the GBA one because mk7 have SNES rainbow road for the last track o the lightning cup and MK8 have N64 rainbow road so that would make so much sens that they pick the next entry Mario kart rainbow road?

Personally, I would put Maka Wuhu before GBA Rainbow Road in Lightning Cup since Mario Kart Wii started a pattern of the last track in Star Cup 2 games after ie GCN DK Mountain, DS Airship Fortress, Wii Grumble Volcano etc.

Something that I want in this game is Koopa cape. I know it was in the Wii and in 8 delux but in delux it was done very dirty, and would like to see it return.

Cool, but you didn't say how the tracks were placed in the cups, can you tell me about it?

Here's My Mario Kart 9/X Retro Track Wishlist: SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 1 SNES Mario Circuit 4 SNES Bowser Castle 2 SNES Ghost Valley 3 N64 Wario Stadium N64 DK's Jungle Parkway N64 Rainbow Road GBA Broken Pier GBA Rainbow Road GBA Bowser's Castle 4 GBA Lakeside Park GCN Wario Colosseum GCN Mushroom City DS Figure-8 Circuit DS Bowser Castle Wii Mario Circuit Wii Dry Dry Ruins Wii Toad's Factory 3DS Daisy Hills 3DS Mario Circuit Wii U Bone-Dry Ruins Wii U Twisted Mansion Wii U Sunshine Airport Wii U Thwomp Ruins

Here are my picks: Shell Cup: • GCN Luigi Circuit • SNES Vanilla Lake • NSW Sweet Sweet Canyon • 3DS Wuhu Loop Banana Cup: • Wii Toad's Factory • DS Delfino Square • GCN Mushroom Bridge • GBA Bowser Castle Leaf Cup: • 3DS Mario Circuit • SNES Ghost Valley 3 • Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline • N64 Wario Stadium Bell Cup: • Wii Dry Dry Ruins • GCN Mushroom City • DS Airship Fortress • NSW Big Blue Lightning Cup: • N64 Jungle Parkway • Tour Bangkok Rush • GCN Bowser's Castle • GBA Rainbow Road Some extra stuff: • There are 2 tracks from each game, except for Double Dash, wich has 4 becouse *_yes._* • Every Cup ends with a 1 lap track: Wuhu Loop and Big Blue are self explanatory, 64 Wario Stadium and GBA Rainbow Road are going to be elongated, and GBA Bowser Castle is going to alternate between RMX, 2 and 3 with Kamek teleporting you as soon as you reach the finish line. • If there were DLC, 2 more retro cups would be added, containing one course from every game except GCN.

Badass list, I agree with almost all your picks. I would personally swap out Wii Mario Circuit for Toad's Factory and then scrap Wuhu Loop for 3DS Mario Circuit, but aside from that I think it's a near perfect list. I'd maybe also add Luigi Circuit GBA and scrap SNES Choco Island. Finally I would personally do 4 8 Deluxe tracks because it seems like every prior game gets 4 retros, so mine would be Sunshine Airport, Mount Wario, Shy Guy Falls, and Cloudtop Cruise. So yeah I guess for me then no Ninja Hideaway

There's a problem with your prediction. You have tracks that have the same theme. Yoshi Desert, Dry Dry Ruins, and maybe Shy Guy Bazaar are desert tracks. Choco Island and Sweet Sweet Canyon are sweet tracks. Vanilla Lake and Fappe Snowland are snow tracks. And Peach Beach and Cheep Cheep Island are beach/Island tracks. Also, I believe the next Mario Kart game will be titled "Mario Kart 9." Even if Tour is 9, I'm still believe it since numbers can be broken. Like, is Mario Kart Super Circuit sequel to Super Mario Kart or Mario Kart 64 or is it actually both. You can pretend that I said Mario Kart 10 or X instead of 9. Anyway, here's my "reasonable" prediction. 🐢 Shell Cup: 1/4 - (3DS) Daisy Hills 🌸 I think it make more sense to pair it with Figure-8 Circuit. 2/4 - (DS) Figure-8 Circuit 8️⃣ It might feel weird that this isn't the first track in the first cup. 3/4 - (Wii U) Sweet Sweet Canyon 🎂 4/4 - (Wii) Toad's Factory 🏭 🍌 Banana Cup: 1/4 - (SNES) Vanilla Lake ❄️ 2/4 - (3DS) Mario Circuit 🏰 3/4 - (Wii U) Twisted Mansion 👻 4/4 - (N64) Wario Stadium 🏟 🍂 Leaf Cup: 1/4 - (GCN) Mushroom City 🌃 2/4 - (Tour) Piranha Plant Pipeline 🪴 3/4 - (Wii) Dry Dry Ruins 🌵 4/4 - (Wii U) Cloudtop Cruise 🌩 ⚡️ Lightning Cup: 1/4 - (GCN) Wario Colosseum. 2/4 - (Wii U) Dolphin Shoals 🐬 I need a Star Cup track for the Lightning Cup. 3/4 - (DS) Bowser ('s) Castle 🔥 4/4 - (GBA) Rainbow Road 🌈 This might not be a lock on.

hell nah if CCIsland comes back it'll be the nerfed Tour version which is just horrendous

For GBA, instead of CCI, I thought of GBA rainbow road because it has never been made and it has so much potential. Also, Toad’s factory has never been remade, so dry dry ruins is not the best choice.

no way bro said N64 Wario Stadium was quick and easy

Also Choco Island 2 got remade in the DS

They might do 32 retro and 32 new, or 48 new and 48 retro.

With the next Mario kart game, They gotta take a step away from the MK8 Band and create Completely different remixes to For Mario Kart X and Im sure With what ever Fanmade Course will return it will sure be awsome to hear these Remixes to.

I love the courses ideas are you going to do battle mode next

- Shell Cup 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar WII Toad Factory 3DS Mario Circuit WII U Sunshine Airport ARC Diamond City - Banana Cup NSW Piranha Plant Cove DS Delfino Square NSW Yoshi’s Island Tour Singapore Speedway SNES Vanilla Lake - Bell Cup 3DS Wario Galleon GBA Cheep Cheep Island Tour Vancouver Velocity GCN Mushroom City WII U Wild Woods - Leaf Cup N64 Wario Stadium DS Airship Fortress NSW Squeaky Clean Sprint WII Dry Dry Ruins Tour Athens Dash - Lightning Cup GBA Lakeside Park WII U Super Bell Subway NSW Ninja Hideaway WII Bowser Castle GCN Rainbow Road *Warp Pipe Canyon (Piranha Plant Pipeline) will be a Nitro Course since the BCP labelled the non-city Tour courses as new originals

I actually also made a list of what I thought made sense to bring back in the next game, however I have the original 16 retros rather than the 25 you put in Shell Cup: GCN Mushroom Bridge N64 Mario Raceway DS Delfino Square GBA Yoshi Desert Banana Cup: SNES Mario Circuit 4 Wii Toad’s Factory 3DS Wuhu Loop Wii U Mount Wario Leaf Cup: GBA Cheep Cheep Island Wii Dry Dry Ruins N64 Sherbet Land DS Airship Fortress Lightning Cup: SNES Ghost Valley 3 Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Wii U Bowser’s Castle GCN Rainbow Road Looking back at this now, I realized I have 2 section courses in the Banana Cup so maybe swap out Mount Wario with something in the Leaf Cup and I think it’s an alright prediction

Toad factory??

the toad factory disrespect is CRAZY

Why not Wii Toads Factory instead of Mario Circuit?

Why both Bowser's castle and Rainbow Road from the same game? If they are from the same game they can't be in the same cup. Ever seen a retro cup with 2 tracks from the same game???

I just want Airship Fortress and Toad’s Factory, if MK10 doesnt have it (at leats Toad’s Factory) I'll be disappointed...

Shell Cup: SNES Choco Island 1 GCN Muhsroom Bridge 3DS Mario Circuit N64 Frappe Snowland Banana Cup: GBA Yoshi Desert DS Luigi’s Mansion Wii Toad’s Factory WiiU Sunshine Airport Ba-bomb Cup: Tour Singapore Speedway 3DS Maka Wuhu DS Delfino Square GCN Wario Colosseum Leaf Cup: Wii Dry Dry Ruins N64 Banshee Boardwalk Tour Ninja Hideaway WiiU Mount Wario Egg Cup: SNES Vanilla Lake 2 GCN Mushroom City N64 Wario Stadium DS Airship Fortress Lightning Cup: 3DS Wario Shipyard WiiU Electodrome Wii Bowser’s Castle GBA Rainbow Road

25 in the title is a typo. It should be 24 because 4 tracks are needed to be in each cup

I just kinda wished we've gotten Honey Queen in the Booster Coarse Pass' final wave instead of Peachette. But don't get me wrong, I like Peachette! But I mean, y'know? Honey Queen??

Not having Coconut Mall is devious

I think we will see: SNES: Mario Circuit 4(Banana) Choco Island 1(Shell) Koopa Beach 1(DLC) Vanilla Lake 2(Leaf) N64: Koopa Beach(Banana) Wario Stadium(Leaf) Frappe Snowland(DLC) GBA: Cheep Cheep Island(DLC) Bowser Castle 4(Shell) Rainbow Road(Last track of Lightning) GCN: Mushroom City(Banana) Wario Colosseum(Lightning) And the Double Dash-Mode DS: Figure 8-Circuit(Shell) Airship Fortress(Leaf) Luigis Mansion(DLC) Bowser Castle(3rd track of Lightning) And Mission Mode Wii: Toads Factoy(Leaf) Bowser Castle(DLC) Dry Dry Ruins(Banana) 3DS: Maka Wuhu(DLC) Shy Guy Bazaar(Shell) WiiU: Rainbow Road(DLC) Cloudtop Cruise(Lightning) Tour: Piranha Plant Slide(DLC)

awesome video, but i really wasn’t a fan of that weird swirly psychedelic transition that you used a whenever a new game cover was shown. it got pretty repetitive and honestly ended up hurting my eyes every time it came back aside from that though, great quality on the sound, editing, and course selection

I personally hate changing courses with a passion. With the introduction of tour maps, map changes mid game gets annoying and hard for new players. To be honest the giant red arrows don't even do much and I still get lost in the track. I really hope Nintendo doesn't include this gimmick except for the tour courses itself.

Pretty sure Choco Island 2 was in DS

I rather we get a Nintendo Kart tbh.

Where is toad factory

You know Nintendo is gonna imbalance the amount of retros in the next game

My thoughts: SNES: SNES Mario Circuit 4 SNES Vanilla Lake 2 N64: N64 D.K.‘s Jungle Parkway N64 Wario Stadium GBA: GBA Sky Garden GBA Sunset Wilds GBA Rainbow Road GCN: GCN Mushroom City GCN Wario Colloseum DS: DS Figure 8 Circuit DS Bowser Castle Wii: Wii Toad’s Factory Wii Mario Circuit 3DS: 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar 3DS Wario Shipyard WU/S: WU/S Toad Harbor WU/S Shy Guy Falls WU/S Electrodome WU/S Mount Wario WU/S Cloudtop Cruise Tour: Tour Singapore Speedway Tour Ninja Hideaway Tour Squeaky Clean Sprint Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline

Cups of 5 makes no sense. There will either be 32 or 48 tracks, personally i'm leaning towards 32.

How is this the perfect list but didn't put in Toad's Factory? No offense, but how is this possible lol. THe rest of the picks are cool.

Mario kart Wii isn't recent at all!! The game was released il 2009 (15y ago)

I'm sorry, but the fact you DIDN'T have DS Bowser's Castle REALLY bothers me Call me nostalgia blinded all you want, but you WON'T stop me from wanting that remade, since that one also hasn't been remade like GC Bowser's Castle Other than the obvious, the restof the choices were faiirly decent. Except Figure-8 Circuit..

The Mario kart tour and 8 deluxe not over pengu_26

Nah I would hate this game to be honest if this was the list. The nitros would have to be game breaking.

How about instead of Wii Mario Circuit, WE GET FUCKING TOAD'S FACTORY!!!!!!!😡

IT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD UNTIL YOU SAID FIGURE 8 CIRCUIT.

Watch the next game become Mario kart 8 ultra lol

Your recency logic is flawed. Mario kart wii came out in 2008. It's been over a decade and there's been 3 MK games between it and MK8d.

Haven’t watched yet, but here’s my definitive and ideal Mario Kart X retro track selection: Shell cup: DS Figure-8 Circuit SNES Vanilla Lake 2 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon Wii Toad’s Factory Banana cup: Wii Mario Circuit GBA Yoshi Desert UNS Toad Harbor GCN Mushroom City Leaf cup: 3DS Wuhu Loop N64 Wario Stadium UNS Electrodrome GBA Bowser Castle 4 Lightning cup: UNS Cloudtop Cruise 3DS Wario Shipyard DS Bowser’s Castle GCN Rainbow Road Here’s the DLC tracks if they decide to do 4 cups again. In this order: Cup 1: GCN Mushroom Bridge DS Airship Fortress Cup 2: GBA Lakeside Park UNS Big Blue Cup 3: N64 Banshee Boardwalk 3DS Maka Wuhu Cup 4: Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Wii Rainbow Road And lastly, here’s my retro Battle picks: GCN Tilt a Kart DS Tart Top Wii Funky Stadium UNS Urchin Underpass If you’re wondering what UNS stands for, it stands for Wii U/Nintendo Switch. I did this because, well primarily because Mario Kart 8 originates from Wii U, but is most well known and has lived most of its relevancy on Switch. So it makes sense to represent both. But it’s also practical because 8 Deluxe has some exclusive battle tracks that 8U didn’t. And since they’re both kinda the same game, it’d be strange to differentiate them like that.

I think the new Nitro Cup would be the 1-UP Cup
