If Nintendo planned to drop AF this whole time but delayed it and has us speculate it to be another track, I'd die.

I know 100% that Wuhu Loop will not be in the DLC, it doesnt make sense whatsoever. ... But I still want it so, so much

I had never checked out the Tour remake of BC4 until this video, and DAMN is it a stunning track. Definitely would like to see it in Wave 6 instead of BC3 or Airship. And I agree with your city placements, as well as your Piranha Plant track placements. It will never not be funny to me that Wave 6 is getting 2 Piranha Plant tracks which probably have less than 10 piranha plants combined but whatever. Great predictions, we shall see what happens!

I might be the only person in the world that wants BC3 over BC4, because like, the SNES tracks deserve at least one win. It's about time they became something more than the "filler" courses.

Here’s what I’m thinking as of typing this comment: We’re most definitely gonna be getting two Wii tracks again like with wave 5, replacing GCN Mushroom Bridge. Wii Rainbow Road has been the obvious finale to the entire dlc ever since its remake in tour, due to that track getting the single best remake in the entire game by far. I feel like SNES Bowser Castle 3 was definitely made with the booster course pass in mind, due that that angled part of the track near the beginning of the track, which is perfect for anti-gravity. As for the rest of the wave, the cities are obviously guaranteed, but I’m kind of optimistic about two of the Piranha Plant nitro courses being in the game, but that’s just me. GCN DK Mountain I would absolutely LOVE to see the track return, but that’s just my Wii nostalgia talking for me.

If Bowser Castle 4 does get into Wave 6, it would be the first time a Mario Kart Super Circuit Special Cup track has appeared in any future subsequent title other than Tour.

I have actually been saying this since I saw GBA BC4. It’s too polished. It looks fantastic, and I would be more hyped over it than SNES BC3! I was a big believer in Rosalina’s Ice World takin over the final GCN, but seeing how the most recent tour remakes get a lot of preference, I do believe BC4 really has a chance!

I like what you did at the end by leaving it up to speculation. Don’t let the discussion fade out!! Looking forward to your Wave 6 reaction, and everything up until then.

Bold prediction! Another thing that supports your theory is that when BC4 was released, people noticed there were three stars instead of two on the design of the banner where lap two starts (since BC4 is long and split into two). Could that have potentially meant it may be split into three sections? Is it even that big to fit in three sections? Great video as always!

Wave 6 could either be the most predictable wave thanks to Tour ending soon, or it could throw another curveball straight into our balls like it did with Daisy Circuit.

I wouldn't be too sure about those Piranha Plant nitros. On one hand sure we haven't missed a tour nitro yet, but on the other they'd be filling in the two blank slots in Wave 6 meaning they were always meant to be in the same wave together and that they were always meant to be in the final wave. I guess it's subjective, but personally i don't think either of these tracks garner as much hype as Yoshi's Island or Squeaky Clean Sprint did, so it's weird for them to have always been planned to follow those up. And I don't see why they would both be planned to come in a wave that's already lacking in variety with it doubling in Wii tracks as well (Remember even before Daisy Circuit, Maple was planned to be there with Wii RR). Not to mention that'd mean they consciously made the decision to put Petey in Wave 5 knowing there were two Piranha Plant tracks in Wave 6. Realistically, I'd still bet on them coming but it's something to think about is all. I think SNES BC3 is safe tho, that one section is screaming anti gravity I just cant imagine them not adding it.

I was thinking over this topic and just remembered a theory I saw earlier this year. I don’t know how widespread this is, but I’m making a separate comment on it anyway. This doesn’t involve any datamines, btw. If you take a look at all the retro Mario Circuits, Bowser’s Castles, and Rainbow Roads in Tour, a pattern emerges. All of them either appeared in 7 (SNES MC2 and RR, GBA BC1 and 3DS MC, BC and RR) or are a variant of the one that appeared in 7 (SNES MC 1 and 3, N64 MR and GBA BC 2-4). All except for three: SNES BC3, DS MC, and Wii RR. When you take a closer look, you also realize some things. They all are strangely well detailed for a Tour track, they aren’t the best controlling in Tour (Wii RR is the most prevalent), they have assets that aren’t used in any other track there, SNES BC3 and DS MC are all totally revamped in a way, SNES BC3 and Wii RR even have potential anti-gravity sections when Nintendo tries to stay away from that stuff in Tour. So why do they even exist in Tour? Unless, they were being made specifically for 8DX. Then everything I just mentioned would totally make sense. This is something to think about, especially since DS MC is already in… Of course, things can change during development. Who knows, maybe BC3 got scrapped before the Tour remake even released, but they released that anyway because it was too far along in development, or maybe these three tracks were the only tracks aside from the Tour ones to be a lock for the BCP and cannot be replaced, or maybe I’m overthinking everything and this is all just one big coincidence. Who knows. We’ll just have to wait and see…

I do think at this point it's a coin flip which bowser's castle stage makes it in and that's exciting

BC4 would definitely be the better option track wise, but I still hope BC3 gets in. It’s the only SNES remake to get a proper glow up instead of just visual changes and it’d suck for that remake to eventually die out once Tour does shutdown. BC4 is definitely a better track, but SNES deserves a fantastic remake to get in.

I'm wondering if, like the characters, there will be a hidden "Bowser Cup" explaining why we don't have any Bowser courses, and will include BC3, BC4, 3DS BC, and Airship Fortress or Luigi's Mansion

You know, I think this is possible, it would also make it so that every wave has a Wii and GBA course in it which is something they wanted to do with Wii but randomly leave one wave without a GBA course, also SNES Bowser Castle 3 is a short course and GBA Bowser’s Castle 4 is a lot longer, also in Tour the mechakoopas from the course are not there since mechakoopas aren’t in tours files and also the possible reason the course never got its T or R/T variants, perhaps they will include them for the 8DX version since mechakoopas are in this game

Honestly we should’ve had both Bc3 and BC4, I didn’t even realize that MK64 MKDD MK8/DX all shared the fact of lacking Bowser castles, 8DX obviously being the least justified. BC3 should’ve been in Over MC3 let’s be real, put Rock Rock Mountain in place of MC3 in wave 2, and put BC3 in moon cup right before 3DS RR, move peach gardens back to the rock cup like it was intended and have BC4 in wave 6. Boom perfect scenario.

Wario Colosseum confirmed 👌 🙌

While I don’t think SNES BC3 is a lock, I think it has higher chances than GBA BC4 for a couple of reasons: - While it’s noticeable that both SNES BC3 and GBA BC4 got considerable overhauls, BC3 has the edge over BC4 because it has antigravity potential, that massive slope is begging for antigravity and suggests that it was made with 8DX in mind, BC4 doesn’t feature something like this. - SNES BC3 is the only SNES track to ever receive this type of remake while many GBA tracks got this type of overhaul so it isn’t something that special for BC4 - Related to the previous point, all the RMX tracks in Tour use as their source material their counterparts from SNES with the exception of RMX Bowser Castle which uses assets from the GBA versions, I think this suggests that actually SNES BC3 was not intended to be primarily remade for Tour, in fact this track hasn’t returned in any tour since its debut while BC4 has. It’s rather weird that if it was only remade for Tour, it isn’t used more often in that game. - Considering previous tracks placements in the BCP is very likely that Piranha Plant Cove and Pipeline will have the last slot of the Acorn Cup and the third slot of the Spiny Cup, Daisy Circuit probably will be the second of Acorn and the GCN jungle track the third one, SNES BC3 then fits better as the second slot of Spiny compared to BC4 I’m not saying SNES BC3 is a lock but I think is way more likely than BC4 considering the information we have. Maybe Nintendo’s last surprise was that there wasn’t any surprise at all and they just left everyone overthinking about these last tracks, just making everyone doubt because they showed early “the surprise track”. (Considering not everyone follows the leaks, any track might be a surprise for them)

I honestly hate sunset wilds in mk8. I don’t hate any other tracks, idk, it just feels not like sunset wilds at all, there’s no sunset, idk why they added it if they couldn’t do the sunset. I guess all I can do is hope they’ll figure it out and fix it along with the patch for wave 6

If I get to hear a MK8D remix of the GBA Bowser's Castle theme I would be so happy.

Love that you used Last Surprise from Persona 5 throughout the video, it felt strangely fitting to hear during the discussion.

It has been a tricky war on which retro track will be in or if a dd track has been replaced. It's hard for me to decide which side to be on. Of course tour ogs & cities are guaranteed. And now with daisy circuit revealed, there's only 3 retros left, & it can go either way depending on whose side you're on I for sure think that something unexpected is going to happen in w6. Every wave has had a unexpected surprise after 1. 2 with snow land, 3 got maple treeway early, 4 got ds mario circuit, & 5 got moonview highway. So something's for sure up that we don't know about with w6. I know most have already decided on what will show up in w6 because of pfx leak & what goes where, but this is nintendo. They've always done the unexpected every wave, & we'll never know until w6 is completely revealed

I’ve been making this prediction for a while and everyone I know calls it outrageous. Nice to know that others have the same mindset!

After finishing this video I watched some footage of BC4 and damn... I think I would prefer it over the snes one.

It has to be SNES BC3 in Wave 6 since there is one last SNES placement and has to come now in this wave and I think they'd save GBA BC4 for the next Mario Kart game.

Remember the thin pillar roads you could jump on after the first jump in Athens Dash? In Tour there were 3 I think and they reduced them to 2 and made them wider. Well, the walls on Snes BC3 also look too thin for MK8DX. I always thought that part wouldnt play well on MK8DX

Before the outlandish predictions I felt like GBA BC3 or BC4 with airship fortress could work out. But eh hard to say if that would even have a chance on happening. But eitherway looking forward for tracks we are getting.

Well, a curveball certainly happened, but not the way we thought it'd be

Crazy prediction that I'm not really following, just throwing out: - Wii Daisy Circuit is the actual last MKW track and Wave 6 is finishing the Spiny Cup with GBA Bowser's Castle 4, while SNES Bowser Castle 3 stays in Acorn Cup.

I can think of one other thing that would be viable for the last slot besides Wii Rainbow Road (though it probably will be Wii Rainbow Road). DS Rainbow Road would be so great in a game that can actually handle the inversions.

I am so glad I am not the only person theorising this. That said, I think really there are a bunch of different possibilities for what could happen. Obviously the first is the Bowser Castle swap, which I think is the most likely scenario if things are changed. Wii Roanbow Road is assumed to be a lock but is it really? Like, Daisy Circuit being our wave 6 Wii course is still a very real possibility. Considering how far out from release those original prefixes were, and the fact that they were not meant to be seen by us, it is more than possible that the last wave wasn't entirely fully formed and the actual course order in that wave didn't mean anything. Additionally, Airship Fortress absolutely could have been swapped in for it. On balance, Fortress is the more popular course so I could see it. We can probbaly still be sure that either Dino Dino or DK Jungle will appear, but we don't know which one it will be. Mushroom Bridge looks to have been replaced, but we can't say for sure. Even Piranha Plant Pipeline I think is potentially not a lock. People take for granted that all the Tour courses will be added but is that really necessary? After all, of preserving the courses is the goal, they have completely neglected the RMX courses. So it clearly isn't their utmost concern. And it would actually make a lot of sense for them to want to have at least one Tour course for the next game. It may be that this course wasn't going to be ready in time to be added to the BCP thanks to hope late it was added to Tour so they replaced it with something else. So Pipeline being replaced actually like it could happen. I also think Frappe Snowland is not considered a possibility nearly enough. Why the heck was this course added to Tour when it isn't that popular and it would have to be fully remake rather than ported from 7 or built off the bones of another? Plus it is winter themed. It has a decent chance of swapping in for soemthing else. I am not saying any of these Sr likely, but I do think it is more likely than not that at least one of these will happen.

Ever since Moonview Highway and Daisy Circuit’s introduction in 8 DX, I stopped believing in the datamine leaks. But I am mostly confident that it is still SNES BC 3 in 8 DX and not GBA BC 4. If it is BC 4, I won’t be that surprised because it is such a massive glow up, but they [Nintendo] would miss out on anti-gravity potential on SNES BC 3 in W6. If Wave 6 DOESN’T bring SNES BC 3, there is potential of a new Mario Kart game (if there is one). But in all fairness, as long Wii Rainbow Road is in 8 DX, I’m happy (also happy for Daisy Circuit considering I am part Daisy-Stan)

I am the only person in the world REALLY clammering for Shy Guy Bazaar to be in the final pack.

I'm hoping they do wave six with the two promised cups... and then add six more for a whole extra row and put in all those tour remakes that can't fit in. No city courses on top of them or anything, don't even have to make them fancy. Just throw in Yoshi Desert, Rosalina's Ice World, etc.

You raised some good points there about GBA Bowser's Castle 4 possibly being in in exchange of SNES Bowser's Castle 3. Besides Wii, GBA have been getting a lot of love from BCP. It'll be nice if they include BC4 instead of BC3. And IMO, it could solve the placement of the courses for Wave 6. If we were to assume GBA Bowser's Castle 4 to be added instead of SNES Bowser's Castle 3, these would be my course placement for Wave 6: Acorn Cup * Tour Rome Avanti * Wii Daisy Circuit * GCN DK Mountain / Dino Dino Jungle * Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup * Tour Madrid Drive * Piranha Plant Pipeline * GBA Bowser's Castle 4 * Wii Rainbow Road I'm putting it like this because Cove feels too long to be put in the middle, yet Pipeline feels anti-climactic if it's before Wii RR. GBA Bowser's Castle 4 would solve all of that dilemma in one go.

Nintendo could do the unthinkable and put both BC3 and BC4 by replacing the other GCN track. I would prefer this since those two never got remade for a console Mario Kart.

This whole time when I thought people were talking about SNES BC3, I was picturing GBA BC4 in my head. That's how unfamiliar I am with the tour remasters, but now that I actually see the two different tracks, I want what I was picturing all along. GBA BC4 would be so cool in wave 6

What if they just release 2 or more secret cups and more than four characters to pull off an epic surprise we would of never expected

It'd be interesting for GBA Bowser Castle 4 to come to the game instead of SNES Bowser Castle 3, yet I do think the latter has more of a chance, considering it's the only SNES course in Tour with a massive overhaul. Also, if your curious on my other Wave 6 opinions, my thoughts on the GCN jungle course would be DK Mountain, due to how iconic it is; for the final two non-city Tour nitro courses, Piranha Plant Pipeline would be at the Acorn Cup, and Piranha Plant Cove would be in the Spiny Cup; and for the Tour cities, I'm placing my bets on Madrid Drive on Acorn Cup, and Rome Avanti in Spiny Cup.

Here’s the thing that blows your entire theory out of the water, Moonview didn’t replace a GCN track, its Course ID was Cnsw_63 (the Tour Nitro that never was), meaning unless something else gets replaced, Wii Daisy Circuit is our actual last Wii track from the old prefixes, leaving the 2 GCN tracks and an SNES track as the unknowns

SNES isn't under-represented because it's "less popular", it has 4/20 courses because it doesn't have 20 courses, it has 8. There is absolutely no reason to add three separate remakes of Donut Plains, for example. So realistically, 4/20 is 4/8, or 50% representation.

I think they’ll put a new course based on Mario Odyssey. Since Pauline is being added

I'll be brutally honest I don't watch your content because it's just where I find peak entertainment, but I watch you because you know what you're talking about as opposed to these other bcp "speculators" (they literally just explain their wishlist)

Honestly it’s nice to see somebody else still speculating even after the Daisy circuit reveal. I’m in the same boat. The only course I could see getting replaced is snes bc3, and only by gba bc4; but I’d be happy with either of them.

None of this would have happened if they did one simple thing: Swapped Merry Mountain For Peach Gardens and put BC3 as the third track in the Moon Cup. Then Peach Gardens Replacing Daisy Circuit in Wave 6. Then we could have BC3 as the Third Track in the Spiny Cup

piranha plant pipeline wont be in the pass problem solved

heres an even more tinfoil hat theory you know how they added extra characters then the 2 we thought what if they are hiding some secret courses and add the courses people thought wouldnt come in

Hot take : They bring back waluigi's tractor and they scratch bc4 for dokan course

Wii getting way too much love in the booster pass. Feels kinda rude that they are passing up on such old maps for such recent ones. Could just be a resource thing too, I imagine it's a lot easier to convert assets from Wii to Switch. Also kinda annoyed how the last 3 cups all have a similar themed track (Koopa Cape and the two piranha plant maps, especially since pp slide exists already too)

I’m I the only one who prefers BC3 in this comment section? Honestly I think BC3 will be the best Wave 6 track, maybe a top 5 track in the game.

Honestly I just want another Bowsers Castle in Mario Kart 8. So I'm okay with BC 3 or 4. My dream would be BC Ds but that's never happening haha

Hear me out they are gonna do a secret cup, kinda like how they do with most other mario games. last 2 cups will have normal courses that got pushed aside. then they are gonna do a secret cup with two bowsers castles followed by two rainbow roads. Dont argue with me im trying to cope.

I just want a Bowser Castle, they can't not pick a retro Bowser Castle because there's normally at least one of them

8:54 that banana was wild

Honestly, as much as I did want GBA Bowser Castle 4, plus we’d have one retro from each cup being complete outside of Tour, I feel it would probably be quite risky. Yes, SNES Bowser Castle 3 is a short track, but it does have several more opportunities to improve it even more. And at this point, I‘m fed up with seeing GBA tracks if they can’t be found elsewhere, and with Sunset Wilds not using its original mechanic. If they brought back GBA Bowser Castle 4 and it wasn’t improved, I‘d complain A LOT. Sure, there isn’t much to the SNES track, but considering it’s the only remake of a Super Nintendo track to feature dynamic elevation, it would be a sin to not include it in Wave 6, and if it was, we’d at least have half of the variations of tracks remade between the different games. And don’t get me started on the prefix leak, I think Nintendo knows what they’re doing, and if they don’t, then everyone’s done for.

loving the persona 5 music usage

This is a great prediction, but i just dont see them adding 2 of the piranha plant courses. If they were, it would mean that there would be 3 courses with practically all of the same names, with 2 of them being in the same wave? i dont think so. Also, according to the pattern, every other cup has had one non retro track into it (like sky high sundae and squeaky clean sprint) This would put only one of the piranha plant courses in, if true. It makes sense to add both of them if tour is closing soon, i just cant see it. With that, here is my prediction Acorn Cup: -Tour Rome Avanti -Wii Daisy Circuit -Ds Luigi's Mansion -Piranha Plant Cove/Pipeline Spiny Cup: -Tour Madrid Drive -Gcn DK Mountain -Snes Bowsers Castle 3 -Wii Rainbow road Yea, i know luigi's mansion seems like a stretch, but they dont have any luigi's courses in mk8 yet, let alone the booster course pass. It just fits perfectly. On top of that, they have had GCN Luigi's Mansion for the battle's, it makes sense that they kinda have a music soundtrack for it. Plus, it makes sense because Luigi's Mansion 2 got announced and is coming out soon, but idk if that would mean anything. I wouldnt be shocked if they didnt add it but its an option on the table, and no one is predicting this and its a fan favorite. And personally, i think DK mountain has the advantage as much as i like dino dino jungle, dk mountain hasnt been remade recently so it would make sense to add it to HD. Otherwise, everything else makes sense, and the order to change ofc.

RIP my hopes of N64 bowser’s castle

A theory that might go against BC4... So, there's a notable pattern forming in a lot of the tracks. Mechanics. I feel it may be a prevalent reason as to why Moonview Highway over Mushroom Bridge... Consider one car, bomb, vs two, wiggler bus and mushroom cars. But, it doesn't just apply to Mushroom Bridge. Coconut Mall had the cars removed originally. Sunset Wilds legit doesn't have the Sunset.... well, it does, but it doesn't set, y'know. Another track we could potentially apply to this theory is Waluigi Stadium. Delayed due to not the anti-grav and graphics, but the Piranha Plant pipes... Notice how there's two Piranha Pipes now randomly facing upwards. I think this COULD have been an attempt to avoid the mechanics all-together! If this is true, then perhaps, we are more likely to get SNES BC3 over GBA BC4 due to those strange cannonball droppers in the middle of the course. They need to do the weird bounce in order to get to the lava pits. It works well for Tour, but for MK8D, it would look rather off. They have seemed to care about graphics more in the latter half of courses, after all. This might also be the reason of the strange inclusion of Wii Daisy Circuit. Like, its a circuit course, WHY is it in the final waves? To replace a mechanic, of course.

Is there any possibility for the final track to be GCN or GBA Rainbow Road instead of Wii? Mostly everyone I've watched hasn't even given a mention to GCN Rainbow Road, but because Daisy Circuit has been announced (and if I'm right wasn't there only one Wii track expected?) I was wondering if a different game's Rainbow Road is what to expect.

I feel like GCN DK Mountain could be cut. Remember that every course in the pass that has anti gravity NEEDS it to work correctly. I imagine they could've possibly planned it but the collision of the road ended up being a nightmare. GBA BC4 is such a strange late addition to Tour that *for some reason* didn't even get a T or R/T version before the game shut down. The only course to do that, btw. I also think it's weird how they revealed Daisy circuit first instead of Piranha plant cove almost like they know we knew about the leaks.

Seems like nobody dares to even _consider_ that Daisy Circuit will be the only wii track in wave 6. The absence of Wii RR would probably trigger riots but I think this worst case scenario needs to be discussed more.

I'm just hoping toads factory makes a return, there's still a bit of hope left in me for it to come back

I don’t know, I feel like GBA Bowser Castle might be a little too long for three laps and I really don’t want it to be a section based track. I wouldn’t be against it joining because it’s another Bowser Castle and we need one, but I’ll just stick with SNES Bowser Castle 3 as my prediction.

You know what would be cool a bowser cup since none of the tracks from the dlc have be bowser themed

The only tracks that are save ON MY OPNION are: Tour: Madrid Drift and Rome Avanti Original: either Piranha Plant Cove or Piranha Plant Pipeline SNES: Vanilla Lake 2, RMX Vanilla Lake 2, N64 Frappe Snowland or 3DS Rosalina's Ice World SNES: Ghost Valley 2, 3 or DS Luigi's Mansion GBA: Bowser Castle 3 or 4 GCN: DK Mountain or Dini Dino Jungle DS Airship Fortress

Nintendo the most unpredictable company honestly they could just shock us all and add alternate costumes and shit

You know what I think? Captain falcon reveal. Thank you f-zero 99

Nintendo's next hardware is now confirmed in the hands of developers thanks to the microsoft leaks, and the specs read like a continuation of the switch. IF it is backwards compatible, which similar nintendo hardware usually is, what would be your take on Mario Kart of the new system? Would it go back to normal? Do some wild gimmick to differentiate? or maybe skip the hardware for a BCP 2 on 8DX, with a graphics refinement patch bringing all the dlc tracks up to base game standards, and adding some new content on the edges? In my view, the obvious game that could stand against 8DX playable on the same hardware is Nintendo Kart, but i don't think a standard Mario Kart could get off the ground against a triple game sized 8DX.

While it’s not in tour, I want DS rainbow road. The loopdeloop and corkscrew would be perfect for antigravity!

I think the last cup will have the GBA, GCN, Wii, and DS rainbow roads in them. Beacause they are the only rainbow roads not in MK8D. Also why wouldn't they make the Blue Shell cup full of the hardest levels?

I feel that Peachette is a big clue, like they are going to add a course that would fit her rather than a BC track. I dont like that.

Turns out it’s solved

I would swap your placements of the two Piranha plant tracks but aside from that I can buy this.

I don’t think BC4 is gonna happen even if they want a curveball as here’s the thing, if they were to toss BC4 into Wave 6 how would the track play, would it be a normal 3 lap track or a 1 lap section track as the track was section base in Tour, meanwhile SNES BC3 is simple in its layout but still crazy enough to fit Wave 6 due to it being a Star Cup track from Super and while it’s not gonna be the simple track of Wave 6’s Acorn Cup it’s more likely to fit with the Spiny Cup to give off that chaotic vibes of a typical Bowser Castle track and follow the city track as not all retro Bowser Castle tracks have followed the pattern of coming before a Rainbow Road, as GBA BC2 was in the Banana Cup in DS while in Wii we had 2 GBA BC3 which was the 2nd track of the Leaf Cup while N64 Bowser’s Castle was the Lightning Cup finale and while SNES Rainbow Road was remade in 7 it was preceded by Airship Fortress and while it’s Bowser themed it’s not entirely a Bowser track as GBA BC1 was in the game but it was in the Shell Cup so who’s to say Nintendo are tempering people’s expectations that a Bowser’s Castle track has to be followed by a Rainbow Road only for it to be in the 2nd slot of a cup

GCN rainbow road is coming to wave 6

Heh, I love how not subtle that persona 5 reference at the beginning was.

I think there is a chance for GBA BC4 yeah, and for me it's a lot better to have this than SNES BC3. But I have an even crazier theory ? And if we have a bonus cup ? To end with exactly 100 tracks ? SNES BC3 would be in wave 6 vanilla, with the 7 others, and we have a bonus cup with 4 extra tracks, 4 tracks between GBA BC4 / Airship Fortress / 3DS BC / Lakeside Park / Mario Raceway / Peach Circuit / Luigi Circuit / Desert Yoshi / Dry Dry Ruins for example ? To avoid repeat of musics (so no Lakeside or Peach Circuit or Luigi Circuit or Mario Raceway, even if Waluigi Pinball breaks this theory but whatever), maybe a secret cup would end like this : Dry Dry Ruins / Airship Fortress / 3DS BC / GBA BC4 ! Dry Dry Ruins is very appreciated in Wii tracks and has a cool remake in Tour recently, Airship Fortress is a fan favorite with a Bowser theme track, 3DS BC and GBA BC4 would fix the lack of BC in the game and are very cool tracks too ! Maybe we can even call this cup the Bowser cup because a lot of Bowser presence in it (and impossible to have a RR cup with only RR Wii still in Tour, and probably added in wave 6) ! Or maybe Lakeside instead of Dry Dry Ruins to have an other apocalyptic track in this "Bowser cup" ? With a reorganisation of the cups selection, maybe five lines of 5 cups in one menu instead of two menus of 12 cups ?

plot twist, the last cup has 15 tracks in it

The question is, according to the prefix leak, what's remaining is: 2 city courses 2 non-city courses 1 Wii course 2 GCN courses 1 SNES course Now, if Wii Daisy Circuit has taken that last Wii slot, then there's no Wii Rainbow Road But if Wii Rainbow Road is still coming, which of the remaining slots did it replace? One of the city courses, non-city courses, GCN courses, or even the SNES course? And if both Wii Rainbow Road AND GBA Bowser's Castle 4 are in, that means TWO planned courses were replaced. Did they replace BOTH GCN courses? Or maybe GBA Bowser's Castle 4 replaced the SNES slot, and Wii Rainbow Road replaced another slot, for example a GCN slot?

Great video!

Every game besides Super Circuit and Super are tied in main series for number of Bowser Castles at 1 a piece, retro’s don’t count since they are just reused, 7 has a 2nd Bowser track with Neo Bowser City, so it has a slight edge for unique Bowser themed courses, if we’re being entirely realistic, Tour actually has the least with 0 unique Bowser Castle’s to call its own

a version of rainbow road will arrive!

Piranha Plant Cove acts like a city so it makes more sense as a cup ender than being in the middle of a cup to spread out the tour tracks apart.

But what if, There's a DLC 2 for MK8D

so no N64 bowser's castle? :(

Spiny Cup could have and should have been all Rainbow Road

Finally! Somebody acknowledged how suspiciously well made GBA Bowser Castle 4 is! Although I feel like it'd be weird not to port SNES Bowser Castle 3 to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, considering how it looks like it was designed with anti-gravity it in mind. I'm donning my tin foil hat and saying both will be ported to a console title, whether it be Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or Mario Kart 10. The redesigns are too good to stay locked into Tour and never be seen again.

My biggest fear is Wii Rainbow Road not making the last wave. It just has to come. But 8 Wii tracks seems like it’s cutting a lil. The original prefix leak revealed that the last track of the whole BCP was gonna be a Wii track. And we all expected it to be Wii Rainbow Road. It just seems like the perfect climax track. And then its inclusion in Tour almost confirmed it. It would just be disappointing if that was all a red herring.

Don't we only have enough room on the board for 6 racers? And the bottom row is composed of guest characters, so... I think we may have more characters hidden.

I still think that we will get GBA Bowser Castle 4 instead of Wii Rainbow Road.

I still think that (SNES) Bowser's Castle 3 is more than likely (GBA) Bowser's Castle 4. The reason why is because (GBA) Bowser's Castle 4 would crash with Piranha Plant Cove for being in ruins. I still think that DK Mountain is more likely than Dino Dino Jungle. It just that I pretty sure that there's NO WAY that we're getting two ruins tracks in the same Wave. Piranha Plant "COVE" isn't similar to Piranha plant "pipeline." The only thing that is similar is the name.

Lol using “Last Surprise” was perfect

What if Nintendo were to give us Disney characters like Despicable Me and Star Wars and possibly Marvel, considering the fact that they might do volume 2

What happens if Daisy Circuit replaced Wii Rainbow Road and instead we got GCN Rainbow Road, Even though Wii rainbow road was already made in tour but who know

I honestly want GBA Bowser’s Castle 4 much more than SNES Bowser’s Castle 3. It’s the much better track, and it’s a shame that the track didn’t get the spotlight during the debut Tour.

I really don’t think they’re gonna add both piranha plant courses… doesn’t seem like a ‘lock’ to me

I NEED Airship Fortress...

This is all very interesting, but while both SNES BC3 and GBA BC4 did get completely overhauled, GBA tracks were already getting this kind of treatment, so it wasn’t really that surprising in hindsight. SNES tracks, on the other hand, were never changed like this and the fact they did that for one SNES track and one SNES track only leads me to believe that SNES BC3 is coming. Maybe it’s not a lock for the BCP, but technically speaking, aside from the Tour tracks, no tracks are a lock.
