SEQUELS OUT NOW: If you enjoyed this video, check out the update videos I've posted following the Wave 6 teaser! Both featuring actual live video feed of my IRL face (real) (not fake) (not clickbait)! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mL2Gg6mXusDWZJs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7mca6d0l9u-c4k.html If I know you personally, please don't get upset if you weren't in the Special Thanks and Shout-outs at the end. I included people who influenced my course predictions in some way or otherwise bolstered me to get into video creation, and there were multiple people that I just straight-up forgot to include. I love you all ❤ PREDICTION UPDATES: 20:46 - Bumping both double GCN scenarios into the "Very doubtful" tier, removing the "Kinda stupid" tier, with Bridge at the top and the jungles right behind it. Upon further consideration, I realise that the thought of getting both jungles in Wave 6 suffers from the same big issue as Bridge - the question of why they didn't just leave Moonview in Wave 6, and Cnsw_56 in Wave 5? The dev team can do whatever they want; they won't let themselves be worked into a corner like this. As I stated in the video, the Cnsw_63 prefix change proves as much. And as for Bridge, its inclusion in Wave 6 would mandate it and Bowser Castle 3 both being in the Acorn Cup - you can't tell me they'd put Bridge in Spiny or two GCNs in a single Cup - and that's just plain dumb. That's two relatively flat courses that have SNES layouts, probably one after the other. I don't think so.

I 100% doubted the Daisy Circuit call but kudos to you for that.

The amount of research you've put in to this video is stunning. Especially been hearing one of the GCN Tracks will replace with another game.

Bro no way you got it right. What a madman

Good job on this video. One of the best summaries I’ve seen on Wave 6 and I tend to agree with you on the GCN shakeup. The Noshi slander however I cannot abide!

Nailed Daisy Circuit! Congrats!

Wow, spot on prediction man! So happy Daisy Circuit is returning.

First off, congrats on guessing Daisy Circuit. I’m posting this after the Wave 6 Trailer was shown off in the latest Nintendo Direct, and that, along with another DLC prediction video I saw a while back, is fueling one specific prediction I want to make here. First and foremost, though, I agree most of your predictions are pretty solid ones, hence why I only want to make one prediction. That said, having seen Delzethin’s Wave 4-6 prediction video, I’m inclined to entertain the idea that, like Yoshi, we will get an original Donkey Kong themed track in wave 6. Now, I can’t deny it could be leftover data that went unused, and this would replace one of the two Piranha Plant tracks that already exist in Tour, so I’m thinking this isn’t a super likely scenario anymore. However, with the DLC trailer revealing Diddy, Funky, AND Pauline, I’m inclined to place my bet that, at the VERY least, we get a DK related retro course, so my guess is DK Mountain from GameCube. I’m also willing to admit there doesn’t have to be correlation between DLC characters and tracks, considering there hasn’t been any before, but it feels weird to have three closely related characters to one franchise’s history in one wave of DLC. I fully admit I could be off base with the DK characters we got being a hint towards either a DK Nitro or Retro track- it could all mean nothing but three characters I was hoping for. And I will admit, given all the info we have and the fact it would complete all the Tour courses being added here, a DK Mountain is way more likely. But regardless, I think you have some real solid predictions yourself, hence my focus on what the DK characters could mean for the final wave, if they mean anything at all.

He actually called it

All I want is Mario Kart WII Rainbow Road

If Pauline and GCN Dino Dino Jungle are in wave 6, I’ll be happy

Rosalina’s Ice World!!!!!!!!

My god you were right

Idk if other cups have this presence in mk8d but Daisy Circuit's inclusion would mean the full Wii Star Cup would be in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Who else is here after the Nintendo direct?

I've written this like 20 times already, so here's the 21st time. People are not aware of what Moonview Highway meant to the BCP as a whole. It could not be planned from the start, because there was never a situation that two courses from the same game* were featured in the same retro cup. Moonview had to be put in the placeholder in a timespan between wave 1's release to a little after wave 2's release. As I said, I don't think many people realise what this caused. This was the reason why many of the tracks' placements were shuffled. And that raises a question: If they were going to: put something in a placeholder, sacrifice MB, add Moonview Highway and the other track we don't know about yet, wouldn't it make more sense if they put Moonview in wave 5 and the other track in the placeholder to not shuffle everything? Pretty much the only outcomes I can see are: 1. We'll see MB anyway 2. We'll get both jungles 3. MB was sacrificed for another Wii track. That would cause the shuffle anyway. * - except for tracks from Tour, but since BCP exists mainly to archive these courses, i think it still makes sense

I love the part where you say "What's wrong with the BC3 doubters? Who hurt them?" I have multiple predictions regarding Wave 6, since nothing is quite solved yet as knowing Nintendo, we might get things drastically different from expectations: If a GCN course wasn't replaced: Acorn Cup: Tour Rome Avanti SNES Bowser's Castle 3 GCN DK Mountain Tour Pipe Canyon (I don't care what everyone says, this is the true name for pIrAnHA pLAnt PiPELiNE as well as the Japanese name for it) Spiny Cup: Tour Madrid Drive GCN Dino Dino Jungle Tour Piranha Plant Cove Wii Rainbow Road (I 100% doubt Mushroom Bridge will come, since it's too easy for a Wave 6 track, especially when the easiest track in Wave 3, which is Boo Lake, is considerably more challenging) ========== If a GCN course was replaced: Acorn Cup: Tour Rome Avanti SNES Bowser's Castle 3 DS Airship Fortress / Wii Daisy Circuit / 3DS Rosalina's Ice World (It could be anything, but I'm leaning towards Airship Fortress since the DLC lacks Bowser-themed courses and this one is considerably harder than SNES BC3) Tour Pipe Canyon Spiny Cup: Tour Madrid Drive GCN Dino Dino Jungle Tour Piranha Plant Cove Wii Rainbow Road

It took me long enough to actually watch this, but good lord, this is (was?) easily the single best Wave 6 prediction video out there. Pretty much everything is explained flawlessly; nothing left up in the air in regards to why exactly we're getting the courses that we know are coming, and no humoring of stupid/arbitrary reasons for certain courses making the cut or not. I also noticed that a ton of this video's content is coincidentally very similar to my own Wave 6 video, although that's not much of a surprise considering that we were both trying to be as thorough as possible. And we both called Daisy Circuit lol, although the big thing for me was the course's lack of unique map objects, which would theoretically make the track much easier to port over to the Switch. Assuming that any replacement for Mushroom Bridge would have been brought over at a later point than almost any other track in the pass, then a total lack of course obstacles would probably be of sizeable consideration for the replacement course seeing as the developers likely wouldn't have felt inclined to fenagle with importing map objects and trying to get them to work correctly under a looming deadline. I'm Okee68 from Swift Cafe btw

You gained a lot of credibility with this analysis. Congratulations. Amazing reasoning. Calling Daisy Circuit for inclusion in a World where everyone was calling for Mushroom Bridge or Dino Dino was extremely smart.

The reason I personally doubt Daisy Circuit is due to the overabundance of Wii courses. Not because I doubt they'd add another one since Wii's so popular and they know it, but because if they were to add another Wii course, why Daisy Circuit? It's not a fan favourite and Dry Dry Ruins is right there, so if they wanted to do it to please the wii fans then it's odd to pick a course that's pretty polarizing. If anything I think it hurts it's odds more then it helps.

Out of the tracks they could pick, I think these are the only ones with a chance. Shy Guy Bazaar Rosalina’s Ice World Airship Fortress Luigi’s Mansion Mushroom Bridge Dry Dry Ruins Daisy Circuit

I'm very happy, Circuit Daisy is comeback ❤ Very complete prediction with supporting argument!

I don't know. I feel Daisy circuit looks a bit too similar to the city tracks with that south european vibe. So I will probably go with Dry Dry Ruins. It is a difficult question though.

Holy fuck man, i really like the format of going over all the different courses and the likebility! Thank you lol. You have an extra sub now

Wait it actually is Daisy Circuit

I think GCN Mushroom Bridge is getting replaced because of Moonview, my guess is probably DS Airship Fortress since fans were upset it wasn’t in Wave 4, or maybe even Wii Dry Dry Ruins because Wii

I remember this was my favorite video. Man does time fly so much. 😂😭😭

The BCP has been insane! When they first announced it during that Nintendo Direct. I started listing my most wanted tracks I wanted to see by the end of the BCP. So before wave 1 was revealed... here was my wanted tracks: - DS Shroom Ridge - DS Mario Circuit (YES! I wanted this!) - 3DS Toad Circuit - 3DS Alpine Pass (aka Rock Rock Mountain) - Wii Moonview Highway - Wii Daisy Circuit There are also so many other cool tracks I wanted to come back too like: - GBA Sky Garden - GCN Daisy Cruiser - DS Airship Fortress - 3DS Rainbow Road - N64 DK Jungle Parkway - N64 Bowser's Castle But these tracks here has returned once before in other Mario Kart Main Line games... but when coming up with my most wanted tracks to return, I mainly wanted to see selected tracks that has NEVER gotten that chance to return yet (excluding Tour itself) All these tracks I listed at top has never had a return in a main line Nintendo Home or Handheld Mario Kart game as of yet... That is until now :D and I cannot believe Nintendo has done 5 out of the 6 tracks I wanted to see return! All I need is Daisy Circuit and my wish list will be 100% accurate! LETS GO DAISY CIRCUIT!!!

Congrats! You were right! Although I love how Daisy's Circuit looks like and that it is a new remake for mainline Mario Kart (instead of a course like Airship Fortress), idk how to feel about YET ANOTHER Wii COURSE! 😂 Airship Fortress or Rosalina's Ice World would have soo awesome, but well, I'm still fine with that! The characters also make lots of sense to me, we basically did really get two new characters (models) with Diddy and Pauline, and two additional ones, Peachette and Funky, who basically are just reskins of Peach and DK, so they were easy choices for them instead of doing eg. Hammer Bro, Nabbit etc So the two should be considered bonus characters. Although I wish we would get Dixie (Diddy reskin) instead of Peachette (Peach reskin). I guess they thought 3 Kongs would have been a bit much. And there are probably lots of casual young girls fans who prefer Peach/Peachette over Dixie. A mainstream/ casual fans character choice.

Tbh, I don't think Nintendo cares about release cup ordering. It's just whatever the hell they chose. (Remember, they made 4 GBA Bowser's Castles, 4 SNES Mario Circuits, 2 Wario Stadiums, N64 and DS, and 2 Sherbert Lands, N64 and GameCube.)

I remember seeing Moonview Highway in Tour and thinking to myself, "Huh, the cliffs seem to be modeled slightly differently from the rest of the cliffs in MKT. They have more indents in them, and the shape seems to be slightly less cartoony than the ones seen in, say, Koopa Cape. In fact, they almost resemble cliffs I'd see in the base game of MK8! Oh well, it's probably just a weird design thing they did, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything 🙂"

Cool vid. I wouldn't mind if your prediction were to happen since I do like Daisy Circuit. I guess I'll share my predictions. Acorn Cup Tour Madrid Drive GCN Mushroom Bridge New Piranha Plant Pipeline SNES Bowser Castle 3 Spiny Cup Tour Rome Avanti GCN DK Mountain New Piranha Plant Cove Wii Rainbow Road 1. I feel Rome fits better in Spiny Cup than Madrid because the layout looks slightly more difficult, and it takes place at night. I also feel it's a good Athens Dash replacement as the final Tour City track in the BCP. 2. Yeah, I still think Mushroom Bridge is coming but I'd love to be wrong if in return we get something more difficult like Airship Fortress. 3. I know it seems odd to have BC3 as the final course of the Acorn Cup but hear me out on this because I feel it kind of makes sense based on the theming of the final Worlds in some Super Mario Brothers games (e.g. World 7 = PPP to World 8 BC3). Strange reasoning I know lol. 4. I personally think a dark or ominous track should come before Wii Rainbow Road like BC3 or PPC (I prefer the latter hence my predicted course order).

Ultimately this comes down to whether they changed the GCN track or not. If they did decide to run with both of the GameCube tracks we are surely getting both Jungle tracks, as having Mushroom Bridge after Moonview Highway would make 0 sense. If they did decide to scrap one of the GCN tracks some time before, I believe the top contender is DS Airship Fortress if they really do want to please the most people. I think Daisy Circuit is unlikely seeing how well represented Wii is in the Booster Course Pass already. Even for Wii tracks, Dry Dry Ruins has better odds of making it in, as it's a Special Cup Track which would fit better for the final wave.

My Wave 6 Prediction: Acorn Cup: TOUR Rome Avanti GCN DK Mountain SNES Bowsers Castle 3 Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup: TOUR Madrid Drive DS Airship Fortress Piranha Plant Pipeline WII Rainbow Road

Wave 6 predictions: Acorn Cup Tour Rome Avanti GCN Mushroom Bridge Tour Piranha Plant Cove SNES Bowser’s Castle 3 Spiny Cup Tour Madrid Drive GCN DK Mountain/GCN Dino Dino Jungle Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline Wii Rainbow Road Character Predictions: Diddy Kong Pauline

That last GCN track is the vain of the existence for everybody doing predictions, we all know we're getting one of the jungle tracks, but nobody wants Mushroom Bridge to be at the ending because it seems too easy for being at the last wave unless it's the first track of the penultimate cup. But also this would be the 4th track added to the booster course pass where the main gimmick is "traffic" I like double dash, but I really hope they discard the second gcn track and give us, I don't know, something from 7 maybe? There are some cool tracks they didn't pick from there

Wave 6 predictions is a textbook example of people’s opinions being influenced by KZfaqrs. There have been so many random theories and nuances pitched on KZfaq and social media that’ve been picked up and regurgitated throughout the BCP to the point where it’s just the norm of speculation. Wave 6 is just the furthest logical extreme given that there’s so many dumb theories that have yet to be proved or disproven.

Absolutely love the way you analyzed and sorted everything out for this almost half hour video. Exactly like how I think too if I made my own video on the Wave 6 predictions! There’s just one big ol’ flaw in this though: Where the hell is Mushroom Bridge? And no I’m not kidding with that question, I’m genuinely for real. Like I get that people think Mushroom Bridge isn’t coming in Wave 6 but I think the general agreement that “it’s too easy for Wave 6”, or “we just got Moonview Highway you want another traffic course?”, and especially the “Moonview Highway is the harder version of Mushroom Bridge” arguments really don’t add up like at all. At least IMO. Like it seems to me a lot of people think Moonview Highway killed Mushroom Bridge’s chances when I don’t think it ever did: I mean from the start, it seemed like the retro prefixes were set in stone, we were always planned to get what we got in the leak and especially with the GCN representation. Moonview Highway personally was most likely a last minute addition added to the planning probably like after Wave 2 launched so as to not add Maple Treeway, Mushroom Bridge, and Wii Rainbow Road all in the same wave. Maple Treeway early in Wave 3, Moonview Highway in Wave 5, and Mushroom Bridge and Rainbow Road now by themselves in Wave 6. It in a sense adds up so as to not have 3 Wii tracks in a single wave as well as not having two traffic courses in the same wave too. To go back to Moonview Highway replacing the prefixless track, I mostly believe that it was in fact a placeholder since Mario Kart Tour (Iirc) doesn’t really have much solid evidence backing up that there was a third nitro in development, and if there was, it was scrapped extremely early in development before there were even assets for it in the files. Still backs up the claim though. To further add to that, Mario Kart Tour never really got proper Double Dash representation until last year. We got Yoshi Circuit (based on its MK8 appearance) and Dino Dino Jungle which was basically the MK7 version but given a new coat of paint to fit the Tour art style. Then we had to wait 2 and a half YEARS before we got the next GCN track being Baby Park (also based on its MK8 appearance). Now granted, by then the BCP was announced but then in that time frame, they released 4 GCN tracks all in a one year succession which is unheard of and each of the 4 tracks were released with basically BCP level remake quality. Now this might just a pattern I saw give or take, but they also seemingly released the 4 2022-2023 GCN tracks in order of development completion in Tour (Waluigi Stadium first since it was in the banner leak finished for over a year, Daisy Cruiser next which came last summer, DK Mountain in the fall, and Mushroom Bridge a few months ago). I’d go as far as to say that Mushroom Bridge is actually cnsw_66 not cnsw_56 because of that. Lastly, comparing Mushroom Bridge to Moonview Highway is like comparing DK Mountain with DK Summit. Yes they have glaring similarities but they different enough that I don’t think just because one track is in means that the other won’t be coming. Mushroom Bridge would have the most diverse set of traffic vehicles bringing back cars, taxis, trucks, pick up trucks with surfboards, and the infamous bomb cars but also alongside bringing back Wiggler Wagons which are the longest traffic vehicles in the series, and Mushroom Cars which are like Riverside Park’s ptooies. That alone is enough to make it unique enough from Moonview Highway. And that’s not even all of it: Mushroom Bridge arguably would have the most alternate routes out of any traffic course in 8 Deluxe having the rather useless sidewalks, an actual dirt shortcut halfway through, and the bridge archways which in itself can provide a unique gameplay experience since they’re fast but can easily be trapped by other players. That’s all stuff Moonview Highway doesn’t have since it’s an even more linear course than Mushroom Bridge that lacks any real shortcuts besides the beginning which isn’t much to go off of. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised that they put Moonview Highway before Mushroom Bridge because they intended to nerf the difficulty of the former and buff the difficulty of the latter. Really, Moonview Highway if it were the way it was in 8 Deluxe but instead in Wii, I guarantee you that track would’ve been in the Flower Cup like Mushroom Bridge instead of the Special Cup. It’s in the Special Cup not because of its intricate track layout but the fact of how brutal the cars were in Wii and how abundant they originally were. I strongly believe Mushroom Bridge will be of the same difficulty in 8 Deluxe at least or maybe even a little bit tougher than Moonview Highway in this game. So yeah this is my prediction now that I ranted about all that and sorry if it came off like I was demonizing your prediction lol: Acorn Cup: Tour Rome Avanti SNES Bowser’s Castle 3 GCN DK Mountain Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup: Tour Madrid Drive GCN Mushroom Bridge Piranha Plant Pipeline Wii Rainbow Road And yes I’m bold enough to say that Mushroom Bridge will be in the Spiny Cup. It adds up from the fact it was the last GCN track made and it being the second spot fits very well. Difficulty is just thrown out the window at this point. And yeah I also think SNES Bowser’s Castle 3 will be the second course of the wave since that’s how all SNES tracks are placed in 8 Deluxe. Pattern again I know but it’s the only I way I see it so as to have DK Mountain as the penultimate track in the Acorn Cup like how it normally is throughout the series.

I really hope the last course in the BCP is my favorite city track, Antarctica Alleyways

Congrats on all but one! And it was a top contender too.

I see so many people saying that Daisy Circuit will get in wave 6 and I strongly disagree. Few reasons, It’s a circuit in wave 6 that’s more basic than Mushroom Bridge They are not going to double Wii courses again cause that’s way to many Wii (coming from a Wii fan) Finally, this is a reason I’ve seen no one say, Nintendo has never brought back a whole cup as a retro in a main line game (Minus Tour and GBA SNES remakes), I strongly doubt they will do that. I think Bridge will still be in but if it’s not I would say Rosalina’s Ice World, Wario Shipyard, or Airship Fortress gets in over it.

Here are my predictions of courses and characters and reasoning. (some tracks I chose don't have ID files from tour) Acorn cup: Tour Madrid drive GCN Wario colleseum SNES Bowser's Castle 3 Tour Piranha plant cove Madrid drive is one of the two final tracks with 2 versions with good layout version 1 taking you through a football (soccer) field and version 2 taking you through what looks like an outdoor café I know this is not in tour but Wario colleseum is one of the fan favourites from double dash being only 2 laps because of this long and insane layout. I decided to cut this off with Mushroom Bridge for 2 reasons, first reason being we already have enough traffic courses and secondly, it's simple in terms of layout. Bowser's Castle 3 got an insane glow up in Tour, and it looks like it was made for the BCP and definitely the best SNES track remade, and we also haven't had a remake of a retro Bowser's castle yet neither in the base game or in the booster course pass. Piranha plant cove would be a unique Nitro to bring back because it has 3 variants so it could change every lap just like the tour city tracks. Spiny cup: Tour Rome avanti GCN Dino Dino jungle DS Airship fortress Wii Bowser's castle Rome avanti is another of the two final city track to bring over and this one is cool, letting you drive to the coliseum in version 1 but version 2 is a little duller. Dino Dino jungle is another fan favourite and one of the GCN tracks in Tour not in the BCP. I chose this over DK mountain cause DK summit and DK mountain are extremely similar in terms of layout. I know there's no datamines for anymore DS courses but Airship fortress is a massive fan favourite from DS and it's extremely baffling that this is not in the BCP. I know what you're thinking "ugh, why not Wii Rainbow Road, it's a better way to end the BCP with" I definitely do understand that but I chose Wii Bowser's castle for two main reasons. First reason, like I mentioned about SNES Bowser's Castle 3, they a serious lack of retro Bowser's castle tracks. Secondly, people don't seem to realise that we already have 4 Rainbow Road tracks, that's even more than the 3 Bowser's Castle tracks we got in Mario Kart Wii, so adding a 5th Rainbow Road would be too much and unfair for the Bowser's Castle. The characters I would've chose are funky Kong and ROB. Funky Kong is a massive fan favourite character from Wii so it be shocking if he doesn't make it in I chose ROB over Diddy Kong or Pauline cause we already a representative for Tour with kamek and 2 representatives for double dash with Birdo and Petey Piranha, so it time we got the only representative for DS. And if you look at the bottom row of the roster, you'll see they are non-mario characters so it would make a bit of sense. A bit of a mouth full, I know.

(Not in any order) Madrid Drive Rome Avanti Piranha Plant Pipeline Piranha Plant Cove GCN Dino Dino Jungle SNES Bowser Castle 3 DS Airship Fortress Wii Rainbow Road

14:05 I love how I completely doubted this back in the day... and it turned out to be the case well either this or a scrapped GCN course from Tour

Awesome vid!! I haven’t kept up with BCP speculation as I wanted to, so you breaking everything down was really nice. When this all ends, I’d love to see a comprehensive history of BCP speculation from beginning to end, even though I know that video would be quite the undertaking.

“They wouldn’t do something whacky to throw us off if the alternative makes much more sense.” Piranha Plant Pipeline: :(

I personally think the mystery course will be 3ds Rosalina's Ice World. It's a special course cup like dino dino jungle, and it has a fairly difficult layout. The snow aesthetic would fit a lot better in wave 6 too since it will likely be released sometime this winter

Acorn Cup: - Tour Rome Avanti - Wii Daisy Circuit - GCN Dino Dino Jungle/Mushroom Bridge - Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup: - Tour Madrid Drive - Piranha Plant Pipeline - SNES Bowser's Castle 3 - Wii Rainbow Road

even though this is never happening im hoping that toad factory is gonna be where you put daisy circuit but there still is a very small chance that it could happen\

I don't think Daisy's Circuit is very unlikely, but it is a pretty simple course, so I'm a bit sceptical. I think you should also consider Luigi's Mansion DS because of its Halloween-like theme. We also got a Halloween-like course in wave 3 (Boo Lake GBA) and we got Merry Mountain (Christmas). The seasons have an influence on the order of courses, that's why we also got numerous summer themed courses in wave 2/5, Yoshi's Island for Easter, and so on. And that's also a reason why I think Rosalina's Ice World has good chances, too. I think we'll get one of the following: Luigi's Mansion, Rosalina's Ice World or Airship Fortress (for obvious reasons, it's a big fan favourite and they could also remove the lava theme, I think, to make it more unique. Perhaps they could even bring back it's original Halloween-like skybox).

I appreciate the lack of bc3 slander. 😊

My predictions are Tour Madrid Drive 3DS Rosalina's Ice World GCN Dino Dino Jungle Piranha Plant Cove Tour Rome Avanti Piranha Plant Pipeline GBA Bowser's Castle 4 Wii Rainbow road For Dino Dino Jungle, I just think it is the better between it and DK Mountain For Rosalina's Ice World, I believe that GCN Mushroom Bridge has been scrapped, and that if they choose a wintery track to fit for the winter season, Rosalina's Ice World is the better fit between it, the vanilla lakes and Frappe Snowland in terms of difficulty GBA Bowser's Castle 4 is just wishful thinking because it is the better remake, but I'm fully prepared to get SNES Bowser Castle 3 instead By the way, I do not mind the overuse of Wii courses, since in my opinion it has the best selection of Nitro courses in the series, with the only two bad ones being absent from Tour

Here’s my predictions: Acorn Cup: Rome Avanti ??? DK Mountain Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup Madrid Drive Piranha Plant Pipeline SNES Bowser Castle 3 Wii Rainbow Road As for my reasoning: The city courses: Back when I actually played Tour like two years ago(before I deleted the app because on the rare occasion that I actually played it, the gameplay experience paled in comparison to MKWii, which was the only console game I owned at the time and partly why I got a 2ds late last year, so I could have my own copies of DS and 7), I really didn’t care about the city courses in general then, and I don’t care now, I’m only invested in seeing what’ll be added next, knowing that any new retros have even the slightest chance of making it to the BCP, so I could care less about which city goes where ???: Personally, I’m inclined to put GBA Peach Circuit or 3DS Rosalina’s Ice World here. I know Daisy Circuit has a higher reputation among fans, but I REAAAALLY don’t understand why, other than it being a Daisy themed course, I just think it’s very mid and boring, so when GBA PC received a MASSIVE glowup in Tour earlier this year, I desperately wanted it to have a spot in the BCP, even though we all knew the last GBA course was gonna be Sunset Wilds, but now that it has another chance, I’m not willing to let it go to waste, unless it’s so 3DS RIW can have a chance to shine. I don’t know, I’m kinda torn on this one DK Mountain: Other than its placement as the penultimate course in a cup being a throwback to MKWii, there’s not much I can say here Piranha Plant Cove: Given how it has three variants like a city course and the last two waves each had a cup that ended with a city course, I’m inclined to put it here Piranha Plant Pipeline: I remember the hype surrounding this course’s reveal like it was yesterday: people were saying it was the unused “Dokan course” from MKDS reborn or something like that(and after comparing the track layouts of the two, I can confidently say that yes, after 16 years, Nintendo finally cracked the code on making a course themed around Warp Pipes). All I can say is: this course is awesome, the layout looks fun, the music absolutely SLAPS, but there’s one MAJOR problem: there’s two courses named after Piranha Plants in this wave. I know Nintendo have historically done similar in the past(MKWii had three retro Mario Circuits and two retro Bowser Castles: N64 Mario Raceway, GCN Mario Circuit, SNES Mario Circuit 3, GBA Bowser Castle 3, and N64 Bowser’s Castle, for instance. Heck, MK7 had N64 Luigi Raceway and DS Luigi’s Mansion in the same cup), but still, this just doesn’t sit quite right with me, unless Nintendo drop a surprise on us in the Wave 6 reveal trailer, or they announce a new non-city nitro in Tour before then. Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see SNES Bowser Castle 3: Having a Bowser’s Castle AND a Rainbow Road be in the same cup and not be the third and fourth tracks respectively is downright heresy in my opinion, especially after Grumble Volcano(a lava track) came before N64 RR in MK8’s OG tracks, and Airship Fortress(a castle track) came before SNES RR in MK7. Also Airship Fortress in Tour is now a castle surrounded by lava, as if it’s a castle before Bowser took it over or something like that Wii Rainbow Road: It’s Rainbow Road, enough said. But seriously though, imagine if Nintendo went SIKE! and threw in GCN RR because they wanted to save Wii RR for a hypothetical BCP 2 like the whole community’s been talking about for the past several months, but then again, maybe GCN RR’s the one they’re saving to end off the BCP 2(that or maybe they’ll go with RMX RR). Either way BCP 2 discussion isn’t something I’m all that interested in right now, so I say we just wait until next year and see if Nintendo will even go that route That’s all, folks!

My predictions for wave 6: Acorn Cup • Rome Avanti • Mushroom Bridge • Bowser Castle 3 • Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup • Madrid Drive • DK Mountain • Piranha Plant Pipeline • Wii Rainbow Road Characters: Diddy Kong, Pauline

My predictions: Acorn Cup: Tour Madrid Drive GCN DK Mountain SNES Bowser Castle 3 Piranha Plant Pipeline Spiny Shell Cup: Tour Rome Avanti 3DS Wario Shipyard Piranha Plant Cove Wii Rainbow Road Characters: Diddy Kong, Pauline

I don't think Nintendo planned to have 2 GCN Jungle courses to begin with. The main reason why people opted one over the other as opposed of having both as the likely courses for the 2 remaining GCN courses, if the theory that one of these are scrapped is false, is the OST. Both of these tracks share the same OST, apart from DS Wario Stadium and DS Waluigi Pinball where it can be excused that they didn't bother remixing it as there is already an existing soundtrack for it. It would not make sense for them to release these 2 tracks in the entire BCP since you have two tracks with the same OST. If they were to include them, it would make 4 courses to share OST.

0:22 me waiting for the 2 the end of the year booster pass cups: allow me to introduce myself

I’m still a believer of DDJ over DKM. I know that DKM may be the more popular choice but that didn’t stop DS Mario Circuit getting in over DS Airship. Plus Diddy is more associated with DDJ and I believe he is one of the last 2 characters.

Incredibly insightful video, big props to the research that went into it. -Someone needed to shut up the Vanilla Mid believers after all- I still am on the "Mushroom Bridge is still coming" camp though. Yeah they just added Moonview Highway in the previous wave which is theoretically the harder course of them...even though it was neutered in difficulty to the point it's nowhere near as -annoying- hard as it was back in Wii, and Bridge would most likely be the second course of the wave where it belongs anyway. And I don't say this because I particularly like Bridge(it's an ok track, music is a banger but City is very much the better GCN traffic course), as my best case scenarios for its 'replacement' would be Dry Dry Ruins or Airship Fortress

I still feel like GCN MB will come to Wave 6. I don’t have an issue with a Flower Cup track being in Wave 6 since the previous waves had at least 1 flower cup track. I think GCN tracks need more love and we were supposed to get 2 GCN tracks in Wave 6.

If they choose toad's factory over daisy circuit, I would die happy. It's probably not gonna happen, since it hasn't been remade for tour, and probably won't be.

The tracks i want are madrid drive, rome avanti, piranha plant cove, piranha plant pipeline, snes bc3, dk mountain, daisy circuit (confirmed) and wii rainbow road

I honestly don't think the Airship Fortress "issue" is that relevant, I still think it's coming and it's the safest choice. I know they're popular, but I think these course lineups are right on the money tbh kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibeGeKp0ma3eppc.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9l0oM-hxLGdfoU.html

Me wishing it is not Daisy Circuit:

I respectfully disagree with you sir, i think that replacing a GCN course, when it didn’t even get represented until wave four, with a TENTH Wii course, making this the second time a BCP wave has had two Wii courses, is blasphemous and I honestly think wave six shouldn’t even have any Wii courses at all after wave five. Furthermore, I think that GCN SHOULD have two courses in wave six to make up for its late representation, as well as represent games that have the least amount of tracks in both the BCP and the base game, barring SNES of course. That said, these are my predictions for wave six, bringing in fan favorites while also having a couple surprises that people wont expect similar to courses like Snow Land, Moonview Highway or DS Mario Circuit. My predictions are as follows: Acorn Cup TOUR Rome Avanti SNES Bowser Castle 3 GCN DK Mountain TOUR Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Shell Cup TOUR Madrid Drive TOUR Pipe Canyon (PP Pipeline) N64 Banshee Boardwalk GCN Wario Colosseum BC3 would be this wave’s “simple layout” course even though it would be a Bowser Castle. DKM Would be a fan favorite. BB would represent N64, which when combing the BCP and Base Game for all game representation, has the least amount of tracks in MK8 besides SNES. I could also see this track getting an excellent glow-up. WC is a course that people have said should’ve been in MK8 from the beginning and is also another fan favorite course, so even though its not a Rainbow Road, it would still be a great way to end off the BCP and MK8 both poetically and in terms of Hype. I would be much happier with this outcome over the one that everyone and their grandmother is predicting right now, and it also makes sense. While it is true that the BCP developers would want to add courses that make sense, Nintendo as a whole has been known for wanting to surprise their fans with stuff they don’t expect. So even if you want another Wii course in wave six, I still think people would be happy with this.

They could add 8 new characters or 8 new battle courses. Because: 1. Tour has a lotta characters, and it's gonna be lost when it shuts down. 2. Tour has some battle courses, including 2 original battle courses and datamined Wii Block Plaza. Again, it'll be lost when the game shuts down.

Very well thought out. I have two scenarios I'm 50/50 on, one of which is this scenario but for slightly different reasons: First of all, I think Madrid will be before Rome because of the day sky and the variety being a great first impression. That puts Madrid in 61 (all numbers in new slots) and Rome in 65. Then I think PPC will be in 64 for the same reasons, and PPPL in the penultimate 67 since having the nitro be penultimate is the same as wave 3, and the track has a good layout and theme that would probably transition better into Wii RR (68) better anyways. The other three are based on whether or not we get two GCN Tracks. No we don't scenario (same as yours): 66 is BC3 because then it's in the final cup and that's pretty cool. I then put the mixup in 62 since it's probably not crazier than the Jungle track. 63 is DK Mountain only since I think it would be a shame if DDJ was not in the final cup being a special cup course. The mixup could very well be a Wii (and probably not DDR), but I hope it isn't since that's scrapping two tracks for what's already super heavily represented. I could see Ice World, one of the two hard-ish GBAs (it's the second track of an odd cup anyways), or Airship Fortress (especially if they go back to pre-Tour lava) as well and I hope it's one of those since Daisy Circuit would be another Wii. However, my main argument in my head for Daisy Circuit is that Nintendo's devs are trolls and would just *love* to add another circuit and another Wii considering it's not too too bad. Not that they "can", but that they "want to". Yes we do scenario: 62 is Mushroom Bridge since it's the simplest of all 3 GCNs in terms of turns, but at least it has the shortcut, bridge, sidewalk, and also two more car types that could make it interesting-ish. I think the car types *could* warrant it being after Highway. Especially since the bomb cars were originally present in the files before the BCP and were removed in an update. 66 is Dino Dino Jungle, because I think it's a better finisher even though the model is old, and we're already supposed to be carried by Wii RR in terms of fan favourites. It's here since we shouldn't have 2 GCN tracks in the same cup right after the other. This isn't a case of Tour starting and ending cups. 63 therefore is SNES BC3. Uhhh nice of you to skip to the end (or not) thanks for clicking on the read more button =]

Imagine if the other GCN track was GCN Luigi Circuit

My predictions: Acorn Cup Tour Rome Avanti SNES Bowser's Castle 3 Piranha Plant Pipeline Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup Tour Madrid Drive GCN Dino DIno Jungle DS Airship Fortress Wii Rainbow Road Characters: Diddy Kong + King Bob Omb

Toad's factory would still be a fairly hype ending to the bcp. Or especially as a replacement for the previously thought game cube track

No way im in the shoutouts ‼️ 15:35 -i feel targetted :waahaa:-

Acorn Cup: 1. Rome Avanti 2. DK Mountain 3. Airship Fortress 4. Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup: 1. Madrid Drive 2. Piranha Plant Pipeline 3. Bowser Castle 3 4. WII Rainbow Road Personally I would like Dino Dino jungle but I think DK mountain is more likely. I also personally couldn’t decide between Dry Dry Ruins, Rosalina’s Ice world, or Airship Fortress so I picked the one that I would want the most. I also don’t really care about the order the tracks come in aside from the city’s, cove, and rainbow road

This is the most in depth video of any Mario Kart predictions I have ever seen, I love it! Maybe you could make a video of the Mario Kart DS or Wii Retro lineups and maybe try to improve them? I mean, We can all agree they are not the best lineups haha.

My predictions Acorn Cup: Tour Rome Avanti - Wii Daisy Circuit (confirmed) - GCN DK Mountain - Piranha Plant Pipeline Spiny Cup: Tour Madrid Drive - Piranha Plant Cove - SNES Bowser's Castle 3 - Wii Rainbow Road

Wave 6: Acorn Cup: -Tour Madrid Drive -GCN DK Mountain -3DS Rosalina's Ice World -Pirahna Plant Pipeline Spiny Cup: -Tour Rome Avanti -Pirahna Plant Cove -SNES Bowser Castle 3 -Wii Rainbow Road If not 3DS Rosalina's Ice World, DS Airship Fortress would make sense. Rosalina's Ice World makes sense since its a winter track, releasing likely near Christmas, and its a Special Cup track

My predictions for the wave 6 are a little diff talking abt characters... So ill first say my tracks predictions and then the characters, where it changes a little 🌰Acorn Cup🌰 Tour Rome Avanti DS Airship Fortress SNES Bowser Castle 3 Piranha Plant Cove 🐢Spiny Cup🔵 Tour Madrid Drive GCN DK Mountain Piranha Plant Pipeline Wii Rainbow Road 👸Characters👷 Pauline (Confirmed) Diddy Kong (Half Confirmed?) Ok now heres where it changes It makes no sense to have Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach as different slots when they are the same characters than Mario and Peach but with powerups, so i say that they will become alts for Mario and Peach (Only them because Metal Mario has golden Mario and was a diff character in sports game, Pink Gold Peach wont too because shes not a Peach powerup and was in a sports game before, dry bowser was his own character on wii and at this point he is his own mario kart character, inklings i dont think they will become 1 and villagers too) About the stats problem, i dont think its all that problematic because if they used to have 2 villagers in the same slot with diff stats, they can do the same to tanooki mario and cat peach Ok but who will get their slots? I think one slot will go to Funky or Dixie, because ik Funky is all this favorite character with alot of people, but im sure nintendo likes Dixie more, so the 2 of them are likely to get 1 of the slots And R.O.B could get the other to fill that no mario games row, or nintendo could just ignore that and add a mario character, like Nabbid, Hammer Bros, Honey Queen, and between other options too Well i would like this character thing to happen because having 2 marios and 2 peaches isnt ok, the metals are an excuse because atleast they appeared with the og mario and peach before, but the tanooki and cat outfits are just powerups, so not only this would make the roster rlly better, but it would also make more sense

I think it's gonna be the GBA Bowser Castle instead of SNES cause they've always brought back a GBA Bowser Castle since they started doing retro tracks in Mario Kart DS. DS: GBA Bowser Castle 2 Wii: GBA Bowser Castle 3 3DS: GBA Bowser Castle 1 They haven't done GBA Bowser Castle 4 yet "Not counting tour" so they've gotta bring it back.

Well you did it, you predict daisy circuit

I have a theory tied to a really cool track idea I have. That Wii track that was supposed to end wave 6 did end up becoming Moonview Highway, leaving the final track as something a little more original. My idea is that wave 6 will end with a combination Rainbow Road with the first lap replicating the one from Double Dash, the second lap is the one from DS, and the third lap is the one from Wii. Your thoughts?

Brilliant video mate, keep it up!

personally i don't think they scrapped a tour course in the bcp i'm 100% set on them not having cnsw_63 locked when wave 1 launched and when they selected a 7th wii course they had to move at least 1 (aka treeway moving to wave 3) also i never mentioned this outside of like 1 server but i was expecting the chance of one of the three wave 6 blanks to be a retro that nintendo could move to wave 5 and throw people off (and then they moved moonview to wave 5 lol) with both of these things in mind, i believe mushroom bridge was at least initially intended for the bcp and when moonview was selected slightly later they decided to scrap bridge

Nice vid, man. I hope your channel grows. Predicting courses is fun so I'll bite... Acorn Cup Madrid Drive Mushroom Bridge Piranha Plant Pipeline Bowser Castle 3 Spiny Cup Rome Avanti Dino Dino Jungle Piranha Plant Cove Rainbow Road

These predictions are so well structured and researched, I genuinely thought you had over 5k subs. You deserve WAY more attention, keep up the good work! (Also I’m happy to be your 50th subscriber!) I will put my Wave 6 predictions here. (If you guys have any questions ask me in reply’s) *ACORN CUP* Madrid Drive [TOUR] Bowser Castle 3 [SNES] Airship Fortress [DS] Piranha Plant Cove [NEW] *SPINY CUP* Rome Avanti [TOUR] DK Mountain [GCN] Piranha Plant Pipeline [NEW] Rainbow Road [Wii] *CHARACTERS* - Diddy Kong - Funky Kong

What I want to see is DS rainbow road along with Wii rainbow road but I know DS rainbow road won't make it 😢

Here's my predictions Acorn cup Tour Rome Avanti Gcn dk mountain SNES Bowser's castle 3 Tour piranha cove Spiny cup Tour Madrid drive Gcn Bower's castle Tour piranha pipe line Wii rainbow road

If it’s not any of the arcade Mario karts. Then it’s have to be rainbow Road from Mario Kart DD. And can we please have captain falcon to be the last racer it would be so sweet.

imagine what the chats reaction would be if they teased wii daisy circuit on the september direct lmao

My Predictions: Acorn Pipe: Rome Avanti Piranha Plant Cove Bowser’s Castle 3 DK Mountain Spiny Cup: Madrid Drive Piranha Plant Pipeline Airship Fortress Wii Rainbow Road

I really want dino dino jungle

The only thing you didn't predict is the stupidest decision of the bcp to remove a Tour track, congratulations

Those bastards better not put in bridge. I need me some more 3ds rep.

Do you think Toads factory is out of the question for wave 6 rather than Daisy Circuit?

Well imo SNES BC3 looks like shit. At least GBA BC4 has a interesting idea going for it. This track on the other hand looks like a slightly elevated boring repeat of other Bowser Castle takes. Then again the SNES tracks have always been weak compared to what came since. Just be aware that this means it wont come back in the next game or that they can always go back to the original flat tracks. Im just sick and tired of seeing it everywhere.

I really wish we get Wario Colosseum in the game instead of any of the other 3 GCN Tracks in tour and i don't care if it has the same song as Waluigi Stadium

This list looking VERY good after the Direct

Yeah. I understand people's argument of DIno Dino and DK Mountain being 2 Jungle courses, but at the same time, there's always the potential of both of them being here. I mean, they were in back to back cups in the the original game that only had 16 tracks total, so why not here. I don't think it will be happen but if they do bring back 2 GameCube Tracks, having these 2 would be better than Bridge taking one of those spots. And a similar argument could be made with DK Mountain and Summit. Both were in Wii, as well as Maple Treeway with the cannon.

I reckon we'll see Dino Dino Jungle over DK Mountain because we already have DK Summit from wave 4, which is just a winter version of DK Mountain.

My own bets are: Acorn Cup: Tour Rome Avanti GBA Luigi Circuit SNES Bowser's Castle 3 Piranha Plant Cove Spiny Cup: Tour Madrid Drive GCN DK Mountain Piranha Plant Pipeline (why did they call it that?) Wii Rainbow Road

I'm still hoping, begging, that either Mario or Luigi circuit will be in the next tour and hence in MK8DX. We got all the other circuit themes in the game, I want the Wii one :(
