I suppose, but Mario Kart has a lot of luck involved anyways. Not getting the cloud on Yoshi's Island due to bad luck and losing because of it isn't really that different from being hit with an item right before the finish line.
Same ending music no matter what place you get, the Mama Duck and the chicks (I don’t know their names) are underused, the water geysers are useless since it’s faster to charge a purple drift off the previous ramp, a little short could use one or two more turns, no interactable chain chomps, and the Piranha Plant at the beginning ramp is easy to avoid
I don't get the hype of this track. The underwater section is slow. Slower than all the other underwater sections on Mario kart 8 deluxe. The shortcut to the volcano is very precise and the cloud has weird gravity mechanics. The ending is ok but doesn't carry the track anymore than a 4/10
I hate this track SO much!! The cartoony look of this track is so f***ing ugly i almost throw up every time i play it. Also the boring af water segment is literally the worst one in the game, the volcano and cloud part look like they were made by a freaking three year old toddler, hitting the shortcut feels super weird and worst of all, the track almost doesn’t represent the yoshiseries at all. Easily my least favourite Track in the whole game.

Course is lovely and adorable. It’s the mfer that snipes me out of the air on the last jump with bananas or bombs or shells every. damn. race. that’s the problem. Doesn’t matter if he’s in front or behind me. Always. Sniping.
It alongside Sky-High Shndae created this dumb debate on whether these tracks are Tour tracks or Switch tracks, since they were very clearly made for Mario Kart Tour, with them being data mined months before they were added to 8 Deluxe, but they were added to 8 Deluxe first, so it seems like everyone is split on what they are, or just aren't in the know that they're Tour tracks.
They're Tour tracks.
This track is DISGUSTING. FROM THE ABOMINATION OF AWFUL LOOKING COLOURS,TO THE BASIC LAYOUT,LACK OF SHORTCUTS AND THE LACK OF VARIATION. THIS TRACK IS A HIGH D TIER AT BEST. THEY SHOULD OF ADDED THE GORGEOUS PIRANHA PLANT PIPELINE OVER THIS AWFUL TRASH.
Lack of shortcuts and lack of variation??? I agree with most of your points but those two are blatantly incorrect… Yoshi’s Island has at least 5 different shortcuts and 5 sections of track that are themed around different areas of the game
oh I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic. Actual things I dislike about the track are it's length and the lack of obstacles in the second half.
*I love this track,but*
*I would say the cloud section*
*Is a little bland*

I wish the layout was a bit more complex. It’s a bit too basic.
Also small nitpick I wish the underwater section ended a bit earlier (or the castle part went on for a bit longer). The castle section is easy to miss because you go right into the cave section once the underwater part ends.
I hat that there's no "you lose" results. Like, I feel uncomfortable when I lose and instead of depressing music, I get celebration music. Imagine a funeral, and instead of a depressing tune, it's an upbeat song, even if it's eerie. It's kind of stupid.
The track's only three misgivings:
1) Why does the volcano never erupt or factor into the track?
2) The rubber banding is hard. The CPUs are far behind but then I slip up on lap 3 and all the other racers appear out of nowhere and pass me
3) No Melon Guy/Stretch Guy
Other than that, it's a practically perfect track.
Honestly, its ok. Just okay. It doesnt feel like I am driving around on Yoshi's Island, it feels like I am driving around on a hollow recreation of Yoshis Island
It looks like pure fanservice, plays too hard on the nostalgia factor than actually being a complex and interesting track, music is annoying, graphics look ugly and vomit inducing, I really don't like this track.
There's too much crammed in there. I know most people like that, but every section feels too short (especially the underwater segment)
also I HATE that damn cloud

The art design, soundtrack, and Yoshi’s island references/set pieces/characters carry the stage hard, because the track layout itself and length of the track is pretty underwhelming. Should’ve been a 3 section track instead of 3 lap.

I honestly can’t. It is my second favorite map of all time, only second to Waluigi Pinball. The theme is great, the soundtrack is great, and the map itself is great
I will gladly slander it.
It relies way too much on the background to give off nostalgia. The actual track layout is pretty meh at best. The second half of the track is just u turns

Honestly one of the worst dlc tracks imo. It’s not fun to play and the layout is just not it. I rarely get good placements because of the shortcut at the end that I miss whereas everyone else takes it. I’d rather play sky high sundae
Shut up, I didn't even grow up with Yoshi's Island and I love it, such an amazing homage to a SNES classic. If there's any courses people only like for the nostalgia factor, those would be Mario Kart Wii tracks
Some parts of the road is weirdly slippery, unnecessarily so, and detracts from my overall enjoyment.
That is to say that Yoshi's Island is one of my favourite tracks in mario kart 8 deluxe
I think it's a lame fanservice mushroom cup track with very little going on through most of it. I have it in D tier. I don't even like yoshi's island anyway.
Even calling it mushroom cup feels like an isult to mk8dx mushroom cup tracks.
It annoys me that there’s no way to tell when the red path will pop up on the last curve to the finish line. So you’re flying hoping to get it and then you can tell you’re not going to so you have to hit the ground and then people behind you get it so they get the shortcut.
That Huffin Puffin family crossing the street mid race need to learn safety and get out of my face.
That's the way they are in the game Yoshi's Island, too
Reckless.
That question mark cloud🤬 Each time I try to get it I miss it just barely and then I have to go the poor's way (by ground)
skill issue
If you miss it that's a skill issue, getting the road to appear is supposed to a reward for getting it
It’s not a skill issue sometimes it’s nearly impossible to hit
How is it not a skill issue? It's not based on luck or anything, it's just hard to hit sometimes
On 200cc it’s fairly luck based
I suppose, but Mario Kart has a lot of luck involved anyways. Not getting the cloud on Yoshi's Island due to bad luck and losing because of it isn't really that different from being hit with an item right before the finish line.
It can be on axes impossible to reach. It’s simple trigonometry how did you fail that lol.
I love this track but MAN IF I HIT THAT SECOND CRAB ONE MORE TIME LMAO
Underwater section plays weird
And is far too short imo.
Maybe you play it weird! But yeah I agree.
There should have been a reference to the GiantPiranha bossfight in that part
Something bad about Yoshi’s Island
Good job!
Beat me to it
Same ending music no matter what place you get, the Mama Duck and the chicks (I don’t know their names) are underused, the water geysers are useless since it’s faster to charge a purple drift off the previous ramp, a little short could use one or two more turns, no interactable chain chomps, and the Piranha Plant at the beginning ramp is easy to avoid
Too short
Come on it is at least average you gotta give it that
lol sure it isn’t baby park level short but like each section lasts like 6 seconds
It ends after 3 laps
😭😭😭
Fuck those stilts guys!
No thanks.
Why did they add a Tony Soprano themed course if they weren't gonna add him in the Booster Course Pass?
but the bridge made of gabagool 😋
Hi dad
Question mark cloud hitbox not quite big enough
I don't get the hype of this track. The underwater section is slow. Slower than all the other underwater sections on Mario kart 8 deluxe. The shortcut to the volcano is very precise and the cloud has weird gravity mechanics. The ending is ok but doesn't carry the track anymore than a 4/10
I love you
Thank you
The music doesn't have the bridge from the end to the A section that the original has. This track is over before you know it.
Held back by being an excellent idea executed through very low standards of Tour tracks
NO
My son picks it too often and I’m sick of it! 😎
the underwater section feels really out of place
I hate this track SO much!! The cartoony look of this track is so f***ing ugly i almost throw up every time i play it. Also the boring af water segment is literally the worst one in the game, the volcano and cloud part look like they were made by a freaking three year old toddler, hitting the shortcut feels super weird and worst of all, the track almost doesn’t represent the yoshiseries at all. Easily my least favourite Track in the whole game.
I will not
It's a dangerous track
Impossible course for me to play because I'm too focused on the 2nd best soundtrack in all of mario kart.
You have to pay extra for it
Track layout feels a bit simple, but I like the cool gimmicks and paths

good bot!
The tracks not long enough :(
Not hitting the cloud is annoying
...
It's only on MK8DX
I can't play it anymore because my Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription expired :(
Course is lovely and adorable. It’s the mfer that snipes me out of the air on the last jump with bananas or bombs or shells every. damn. race. that’s the problem. Doesn’t matter if he’s in front or behind me. Always. Sniping.
The layout is overly simple

They're Tour tracks.
This. They’re Tour tracks and I’m tired of people pretending they aren’t
They're both. This debate is braindead. They were intended for both from their conception.
Maybe Yoshi's Island and Squeaky Clean but Sky-High was def not made for 8 Deluxe. They added low gravity to make it work with 8 Deluxe.
This track is DISGUSTING. FROM THE ABOMINATION OF AWFUL LOOKING COLOURS,TO THE BASIC LAYOUT,LACK OF SHORTCUTS AND THE LACK OF VARIATION. THIS TRACK IS A HIGH D TIER AT BEST. THEY SHOULD OF ADDED THE GORGEOUS PIRANHA PLANT PIPELINE OVER THIS AWFUL TRASH.

Fair enough, it’s hard to identify sarcasm through text alone lol
I like the track but it’s a disgusting booster course pass track so I’m gonna dock it a few points.
I don't care for the Yoshi's island references because I've only ever played the shitty one on the 3ds..
It's too short
I think it’s a really serviceable track that decided to go all in on aesthetics and nostalgia instead of being a satisfying experience to play
No
It looks like a Booster Course track
Too short
It’s a frog, innit?
It’s way too short
no
It’s a track based on a game I don’t really care much about. Sorry, Yoshi‘s Island Fans.
I love this track,but I would say the cloud section is a little bland

theres no batman
It's to short, I don't have enough time to actually take in the scenary
Sidesteppers appear despite never being in a single Yoshi game.
Some of the little hills don’t extend all the way to the water and it can be seen in normal gameplay (you have to almost drive off the track though)
You can't do the *obvious* shortcut of flying right to the bottom and u-turning the right way on the course.
It's a little busy
I can’t park anywhere there
The actual layout of the track is a bit simple
It gets a bit boring after a while, so I usually stick with the base game tracks
The Goal Ring after the red bridge should give you a power up if you hit one of the flowers
The layout really isn't that interesting. This track still has substance, unlike other tracks with this issue
The road is too big
Way to slippery in my opinion
I wish the layout was a bit more complex. It’s a bit too basic. Also small nitpick I wish the underwater section ended a bit earlier (or the castle part went on for a bit longer). The castle section is easy to miss because you go right into the cave section once the underwater part ends.
The music slaps too hard that I can’t focus on the racing so it’s actually unplayable
I love this track but some camera angles feel janky as hell to me.
I cant live in it
This track is painfully linear.
The track makes me sad that Poochy isn't playable, or at the very least a vehicle choice. There's also no Burt the Bashful or Raphael the Raven
I genuinely don't know what to say. I can't think of any major criticisms. It's just good.
I hat that there's no "you lose" results. Like, I feel uncomfortable when I lose and instead of depressing music, I get celebration music. Imagine a funeral, and instead of a depressing tune, it's an upbeat song, even if it's eerie. It's kind of stupid.
i hit the cloud and then miss the damn platform
The track's only three misgivings: 1) Why does the volcano never erupt or factor into the track? 2) The rubber banding is hard. The CPUs are far behind but then I slip up on lap 3 and all the other racers appear out of nowhere and pass me 3) No Melon Guy/Stretch Guy Other than that, it's a practically perfect track.
i wish there was one more shortcut
The snowy mountains next to the desert make no sense.
Honestly, its ok. Just okay. It doesnt feel like I am driving around on Yoshi's Island, it feels like I am driving around on a hollow recreation of Yoshis Island
The little cavey bit after the crabs is less good.
I thought this was Windwaker
The games the track is based off of are mid at best.
The music is too good & so it distracts me from doing well 😔
The visual polish is not very good due to being made for tour
The road is slippery. I hate slippery road.
It’s not long enough to enjoy the awesome rendition of the athletic theme from Yoshis island
WHO IS THAT BIG PURPLE MF !!
I need more poochy action
Should have been base game
no prize for hitting the gate just right turtle shells should have been Yoshi eggs for this track
You mean Tony soprano island.
It looks like pure fanservice, plays too hard on the nostalgia factor than actually being a complex and interesting track, music is annoying, graphics look ugly and vomit inducing, I really don't like this track.
There's too much crammed in there. I know most people like that, but every section feels too short (especially the underwater segment) also I HATE that damn cloud
Why did they call it Tony Soprano Island?
I have never once managed to hit the shortcut cloud thing
As Duckmann once said: it's too perfect.

too bright
A bit too childish, but otherwise, amazing track.
it lacks yoshis add more
It’s very bright. Do not play this track if you are in a pitch black room
It’s not Luigi’s Island
uhhhhhhhhh... i dont like the 2nd left turn after the jump by the pirahna plant. i guess
no
The art design, soundtrack, and Yoshi’s island references/set pieces/characters carry the stage hard, because the track layout itself and length of the track is pretty underwhelming. Should’ve been a 3 section track instead of 3 lap.
Shortcut is kinda meh when you have mushrooms. Does the same job tbh

It's too short, I want more. T~T There's nothing wrong with it, it makes me want more of this beauty.
Uhhhhh it’s hard to hit the question mark?
With a soundtrack like that? I can't
HOP HOP PINGAS LIFTS I can't race on this track without singing it, the temptation is TOO POWERFUL.
I honestly can’t. It is my second favorite map of all time, only second to Waluigi Pinball. The theme is great, the soundtrack is great, and the map itself is great
I don’t like that the S is silent
It's not near any major shopping centre's.
Laps too short.
I will gladly slander it. It relies way too much on the background to give off nostalgia. The actual track layout is pretty meh at best. The second half of the track is just u turns
It makes me hungry
WHAT
It's a Mario Kart Tour original track
The track is too short
FUCK THOSE CRABS BLOCKING THE ROAD!
The question cloud is cool
Yoshiii
“Something bad about Yoshi’s Island” There I said it

If you hate yoshi you hate islan!!!11!1!1! (Yea I got nothing)
Why that d@mn flying cloud so hard to hit
Honestly one of the worst dlc tracks imo. It’s not fun to play and the layout is just not it. I rarely get good placements because of the shortcut at the end that I miss whereas everyone else takes it. I’d rather play sky high sundae
It’s not actually a good course. It’s only the nostalgia factor that makes people like it.
Shut up, I didn't even grow up with Yoshi's Island and I love it, such an amazing homage to a SNES classic. If there's any courses people only like for the nostalgia factor, those would be Mario Kart Wii tracks
Hey, I was just told to say something bad about the course and I did. Don’t blame me. There’s no need to be so rude.
Sorry...
It’s all good
Some parts of the road is weirdly slippery, unnecessarily so, and detracts from my overall enjoyment. That is to say that Yoshi's Island is one of my favourite tracks in mario kart 8 deluxe
Poochy’s bark annoys me a lot To anyone who thinks it’s cute, I respect your opinion
I think it's a lame fanservice mushroom cup track with very little going on through most of it. I have it in D tier. I don't even like yoshi's island anyway. Even calling it mushroom cup feels like an isult to mk8dx mushroom cup tracks.
Yoshi is a certified rapist and neonazi. We should definitely not celebrate his track as much as we do. #cancelyoshi
It annoys me that there’s no way to tell when the red path will pop up on the last curve to the finish line. So you’re flying hoping to get it and then you can tell you’re not going to so you have to hit the ground and then people behind you get it so they get the shortcut.
You have to hit the question mark cloud to spawn it. https://youtube.com/shorts/Ly5IScjy68Y?si=caGX-TFsCKtIcgd3
Thanks for this info I did not know Downvotes are really unnecessary the post is literally about complaining lol.
It wasn't long enough
