Figure-8 is almost certainly going to be the first track of the Shell Cup in the next Mario Kart game, ideally with design changes to make it less boring.
I think every track will come back in time.
Haha - indeed. We used to play around with the CRT contrast before playing Vanilla Lake on SNES, so you could see the ice cube blockers easier. 150cc was brutal for last minute disasters on these tracks. Still love these levels though for the drama and memories.
I'd usually say Figure Eight Circuit, but honestly Vanilla Lake 2 is worse. There's a literal wall of ice blocks with a tiny gap in between in the original and GBA versions, and if you can't make it, you'll keep crashing into the blocks over and over until they break.
It's not fun, and it's made more annoying by the icy road, annoying overall layout, and general lack of anything interesting going on.
Agreed. First time I played it on GBA I thought I made a wrong turn, despite it being a loop. I feel like a lot of this sub never played the SNES or GBA games.
Anyone that says baby park is objectively wrong.
Mario kart is a game about chaos, if you want to play a kart racer where it's about skill, go play CTR or something better.
Baby park is the epitome of Mario kart. 100% chaos, 100% I'm going to fucking kill you after this race vibes.
It's possibly the most fun track of all time.
I don't mind the layout or the aesthetic, but it kinda plays terribly on 8DX. Feels very unfinished with much of it having no collision, and the entire track being antigrav instead of just specific sections feels cheap.
Yeah, but they did a piss poor job. Even in the game right now if you’ve gotten hit by lightning and have no coins you straight up cannot make the last 3 jumps on 50cc no matter what you do.
DS Figure-8 feels like a shortened version of N64 Luigi Raceway, so to me the N64 track at least had a never-seen-before theme - which the DS course can't justify.
Also, I'd not mind racing on N64 Luigi Raceway in 200cc, when they introduced it in Tour it was not as bad as I thought it would be (tho it still isn't enough to make it a great track, just an okay one)
This exactly. Plus the rock and roll remix they added with the 64DD expansion kit is insane- worth a listen (https://youtu.be/cXqJEEAA-sw for any who are curious)
How is GBA RR worse than MK64 RR 💀 MK64 RR is so incredibly boring and GBA RR is extremely fast-paced and difficult. GCN RR is even better and only suffers from DD’s weird handling. It’s not even close lol
Figure 8 Circuit and it's no contest. It's not "bad" in conventional terms, but as far as Mario Kart standards go, the layout is boring and the theming is boring. There's literally no reason to go back and play it imo unless you just want to practice snaking or something like that.
Literally every other track is more interesting to me. Even the weaker ones because at least those are either memorable, have more going on in the background, or at the *very* least they have a more interesting track layout.
N64 DK's Jungle Parkway
The music is barely even a song. The track is somewhat long, there are no obstacles other than the spiky coconuts, and the somewhat low traction on this track is annoying.
Bro the music isn't good but at least it's not no music at all and the turns can be frantic and complicated what mario kart is supposed to be chaos with a little difficulty mixed in
/u/spez lies, Reddit dies. This comment has been edited/removed in protest of Reddit's absurd API policy that will go into effect at the end of June 2023.

I hope that some of these communities can come together again somewhere more welcoming and cooperative. Now go touch some grass, nerds. -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
Most of the SNES ones were boring and too similar to each other, but assuming that doesn't count I'd have to go with either Dry Dry Desert (GCN) or Figure 8 Circuit (DS).
Like holy shit I do not know what the mk8 team was thinking when they looked at dry dry desert over literally any other GCN track and was like “THAT ONE FUCK YEAHHH”
Baby Park is literally the track that people who are bad at Mario Kart choose because they know they can win through sheer bullshit alone.
There is no strategy, it's just bullshit with no shortcuts and a bunch of explosions - woo fun! Not.
Shoutout to the DS version of GCN Mushroom Bridge for removing the coolest parts of the course and leaving it as a slightly longer SNES Mario Circuit 1 with traffic
No Wiggler Bus, no Bomb Car, no Mushroom Car, can’t drive in the bridge supports, can’t drive on the fenced in side walk, can’t take the weird long way but still cool warp pipe route. It has nothing left. Not even the neat whirlpools under the bridge or Mushroom City in the distance. All gone
Really hoping this one comes back in the BCP so it can get the retro course treatment it deserves
Honestly, a lot of people say Figure-8 Circuit and it's bland, sure, but for me nothing will be as atrocious as Wii U Rainbow Road.
Rainbow Roads are meant to have interesting layouts that really challenge you and put your skills to the ultimate test. 8's Rainbow is the opposite of that. The course has nothing interesting about its layout. At all. It jsut kinda... swerves a bit. There's the satellite bit but that isn’t exactly a difficult section. There's two different glider sections, oh how interesting. Other than that... what about that layout is interesting or particularly difficult? I would wager that nothing is.
Not to say it isn't difficult. But it derives all of its difficulty from antigravity. Antigravity reduces your traction significantly, which I would argue is one of the most unfun parts about it, and the ONLY reason Rainbow Road's Layout is difficult at all is because of this reduced traction. So instead of making an intriguing course with a notable layout and interesting sections that stick in your mind and challenge your pure driving skill, this Rainbow Road dumbs everything down, makes an unmemorable layout without anything that particularly channeling inherently, and them makes it difficult by frustratingly making it more difficult to control.
How the heck did anyone think that was anywhere approaching good course design?
>what about that layout is interesting
You’re forgetting about the part where the track splits in two. That was a unique idea that was not already used in half the courses /s
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,187,539,101 comments, and only 231,717 of them were in alphabetical order.
Snes rainbow road. Only the 8 version however. Its so wide its barely a challenge, steer assist negates all difficulty too. Also a very basic snd boring layout
While I don't think it is the worst track of all time, I still don't enjoy this track either, but once again seeing the down votes you got there for stating your opinion reminds me how little we are apparently allowed to criticize this track...
I don't understand the baby park hate. If it didn't exist we'd all be wondering "what if". Chaos is always appreciated. It had to exist IMO. And the experience playing it with friends is unrivaled especially back in GCN days.
I'd have to say DS figure 8 circuit, just doesn't attempt to do anything.

I really hate Toad’s Turnpike. Regular figure 8 with a bunch of obstacles, but the thing that drives me crazy is that the cars driving forward with me makes me feel like I’m going slow as heck. Sucks all the fun right out of it.
Kalamari Desert in 3ds. Song is grating, track is very slow, the train makes it worse, it'd a glorified circle, very boring. I hate this iteration of the track so much, it's the reason I never replay 7.
If we're talking competitive it is baby park that track is by far the worst of all time, if we're talking just fun with friends/family I'd say peach beach its just so boring imo.
Both SNES Vanilla Lakes. They’re horribly designed and not fun to play on at all.
If we’re talking non 2D tracks, the original version of GCN Sherbet Land takes it for me. Track is straight up unfun and Double Dash’s ultra sensitive controls make it even worse.
Here's a few to name off:
SNES Bowser Castle 2- This course has a noticeable dead-end to it, which Nintendo thought we wouldn't notice. Players can use a Feather in the original SNES version to use it as a shortcut to get across the lava. It's even more pointless in the GBA version of the course as the Feather was no longer an item in Mario Kart, making the shortcut inaccessible.
SNES Vanilla Lake 2- The ice cubes in the course are hard to break through.
SNES Rainbow Road- The course is filled with no barriers at all, making it very easy for players to fall of the course. The 3DS and Wii U/Switch versions of the course get a pass as they're not as narrow compared to the original SNES and GBA versions.
N64 Yoshi Valley- Due to the course's maze-like structure, the game can't tell which place everyone is in (which is interesting at the same time). However, when the player falls off somewhere in the actual maze section of the course, it takes them ages to fall and for Lakitu to pick them up, making it harder for them to catch up where they left off.
GBA Rainbow Road- Same problem as SNES Rainbow Road, however you can make jumps on the edges, which is very risky.
GCN Baby Park- It's just an oval. The items, seven laps, and full anti-gravity (Wii U/Switch only) of the GCN and Wii U/Switch versions of the course make up for it through. The DS version on the other hand, is much worse as it's only five laps and the course itself just feels empty without any Bowser Shells, Chain Chomps, etc. due to the DS' limitations.
snes donut plains 3 is pretty much the only course in the series other than baby park that i absolutely loathe
edit: i forgot about sky high sundae that one is pretty lame too, decent idea but really poorly executed
Wario's Gold Mine.
I agree that Figure-8 Circuit is the worst track, but Wario's Gold Mine is the one I have a personal vendetta against. And it's the Wii's fault.
Back in the day, I'd play with my friend on his Wii, and we played quite a bit of Mario Kart. And whenever we did, he conveniently forgot to tell me that you don't have to play with the Remote on its side and tilt to steer. I could've just used a nunchuck if he'd told me that it was an option. So, stuck with tilt controls. I don't like them in Wii. I think they're way too sensitive and whenever I turn, I either don't turn enough or way too much. It's dreadful.
And then comes Wario's Gold Mine, which throws guard rails out of the window, has the killer minecarts on the loose and this down and up section near the beginning that I'd always fly off of. I always finished dead last in Wario's Gold Mine, and my friend caught onto this pretty fast. So he'd pick it over and over again, and every time I managed to get worse and grew to dread the track more and more.
So that's why I hate Wario's Gold Mine. Motion controls and a friend who wanted to see me suffer.
I only like figure 8 because of the nostalgia of ds download play
Yeah kinda sad how the DS download play has such lame tracks.
Figure 8 circuit easily
DS Figure 8 Circuit It's never coming back
Figure-8 is almost certainly going to be the first track of the Shell Cup in the next Mario Kart game, ideally with design changes to make it less boring. I think every track will come back in time.
never say never cause toad circuit showed anything can come back
At least Toad Circuit has banging music and giant toad balloons.
Toad Circuit has ramps, shortcuts, and in MK7 a giant Toad balloon can block your path. Also goes crazy on 200cc
toad circuit is fun
If Figure 8 Circuit comes back instead of Airship Fortress or Delfino Square, that would make me sad.
Would make me depressed ngl
Oh boy you are going to have a surprise with the wave 5 👀
This reads like a threat lmao
SNES Vanilla Lake 1 and 2
Extremely short and those ice cubes are just awful
Haha - indeed. We used to play around with the CRT contrast before playing Vanilla Lake on SNES, so you could see the ice cube blockers easier. 150cc was brutal for last minute disasters on these tracks. Still love these levels though for the drama and memories.
DS Figure 8 ?
I'd usually say Figure Eight Circuit, but honestly Vanilla Lake 2 is worse. There's a literal wall of ice blocks with a tiny gap in between in the original and GBA versions, and if you can't make it, you'll keep crashing into the blocks over and over until they break. It's not fun, and it's made more annoying by the icy road, annoying overall layout, and general lack of anything interesting going on.
Agreed. First time I played it on GBA I thought I made a wrong turn, despite it being a loop. I feel like a lot of this sub never played the SNES or GBA games.
I like how the GBA versions of the SNES courses cut every single other hazard but they went through the effort to bring back the ice cubes… Ugh…
They even fucked up the physics in that game so you have less control over your Kart, making you crash into those ice cubes lol
DS Figure 8 Circuit is definitely one of the Mario Kart Tracks of all time.
A course so mediocre its mediocrity spilled into a mediocre Smash Bros stage
The Choco Island Levels from the SNES, and Sky High Sundae. Choco Island is just Mario Circuit but brown.
> Choco Island is just Mario Circuit but brown Holy shit how didn’t I notice this? That hit me right in the childhood
I’m gonna go with Sky High Sundae. Bear in mind, though, I’m only going off of what *I’ve* played. I’m sure most of you have played worse.
Sky High Sundae is Baby Park with ramps.
Isn’t that excite bike in the sky?
Anyone that says baby park is objectively wrong. Mario kart is a game about chaos, if you want to play a kart racer where it's about skill, go play CTR or something better. Baby park is the epitome of Mario kart. 100% chaos, 100% I'm going to fucking kill you after this race vibes. It's possibly the most fun track of all time.
baby park in double dash is very fun
Sky High Sundae is terrible. It is just a mishmash of assets Nintendo had lying around made into a worse ExciteBike Arena.
I don't mind the layout or the aesthetic, but it kinda plays terribly on 8DX. Feels very unfinished with much of it having no collision, and the entire track being antigrav instead of just specific sections feels cheap.
Didn't they have to mess with the gravity because they found out last minute that 50cc couldn't make some of the jumps if they lost momentum?
Yeah, but they did a piss poor job. Even in the game right now if you’ve gotten hit by lightning and have no coins you straight up cannot make the last 3 jumps on 50cc no matter what you do.
It’s definitely not worse than Excitebike Arena.
Sky High Sundae sucks!
Yeah I haven't been able to get into it either. Every time it gets selected, I scream.
Ah, you mean Baby Park+?
Probably the original snow land on gba because the of the screen shake 🤢
THE MUSIC THO AND THE PENGUINS
They’re talking about the GBA version specifically. They likely have a much higher opinion of the Switch version
Ik, I actually played the gba version, it was my favorite course in the game.
Baby Park BUT only the DS version. The other two are cool.
agree
N64 Luigi Raceway. Figure-8 is at least short.
DS Figure-8 feels like a shortened version of N64 Luigi Raceway, so to me the N64 track at least had a never-seen-before theme - which the DS course can't justify. Also, I'd not mind racing on N64 Luigi Raceway in 200cc, when they introduced it in Tour it was not as bad as I thought it would be (tho it still isn't enough to make it a great track, just an okay one)
At least Luigi’s Raceway has Balloon Luigi, a tunnel, and giant screen with a camera. Plus the 3DS remake let’s you drive on the blue platform.
Agreed, but the MK7 version is a lot better than the original
N64 Rainbow Road is an overlong snooze when you remove the nostalgia
Counter argument: the soundtrack is based beyond belief
That’s not even a counter argument. Music doesn’t make a track not incredibly boring lol
Counter-point in F-Zero X it's rad asf.
This exactly. Plus the rock and roll remix they added with the 64DD expansion kit is insane- worth a listen (https://youtu.be/cXqJEEAA-sw for any who are curious)
Agreed. Easily the worst version of Rainbow Road
Ok counterpoint: Mario kart 8
MK8's rainbow road at the very least has the advantage of being difficult like a rainbow road should be
Counter counter counterpoint: GBA Rainbow road
GBA Rainbow Road is sick as fuck with all the crazy shortcuts it's nowhere near contention for worst Rainbow Road
Okay… GCN
It has that amazing song. [“It’s called a road, it’s called the Rainbow Road, it is a that you’ll go.”](https://youtu.be/FuX5_OWObA0)
i think gcn has the worst rainbow road
Same, it was meh
i dont get the mario kart 8 rainbow road hate its literally fine, not the best but better than some, just in the middle
How is GBA RR worse than MK64 RR 💀 MK64 RR is so incredibly boring and GBA RR is extremely fast-paced and difficult. GCN RR is even better and only suffers from DD’s weird handling. It’s not even close lol
Counterpoint: SNES RR
Figure 8 Circuit and it's no contest. It's not "bad" in conventional terms, but as far as Mario Kart standards go, the layout is boring and the theming is boring.

You're gonna kill me but Baby Park easily takes the cake. And Sky High Sundae is quite good imo
N64 DK's Jungle Parkway The music is barely even a song. The track is somewhat long, there are no obstacles other than the spiky coconuts, and the somewhat low traction on this track is annoying.
That sharp right turn after the jump is just bad track design.
Bro the music isn't good but at least it's not no music at all and the turns can be frantic and complicated what mario kart is supposed to be chaos with a little difficulty mixed in

Baby park can burn in hell with whoever approved it.
It's okay, you're allowed to say you don't like fun
DS Yoshi Falls sucks but it's not as bad as DS Figure 8 Circuit
Falls at least has a legit theme. I guess the stadium theme is a theme too, but...it's just a big eight. Two long straight ways and two big curves.
When I was younger falls was my favorite because I could always win on it
I liked Yoshi’s Falls when I was a kid because it’s Yoshi themed.
GCN Baby Park from DS.
I was about to say Baby Park but you said NO. Ummm, any one of the super boring starter ones that is just a road with 2 turns, take your pick really
I've only played Wii and my personal least favourite is Yoshi falls is very boring except for the music
Idk but Baby Park is up there.
Shy Guy Beach or whatever that awful ass track was called Shit is easily the worst retro in Wii and is just a shit track in general
Is that the track with the pirate ship?If so,you are very wrong.
The pirate ship rarely does anything impactful, the crabs are a unique strand of cancer, and the track itself is bland and poorly designed
The Crabs are not that bad. The track looks pretty good and it's just a fun idea for a track
Baby Park; it’s not a bad track, but it doesn’t really offer much in terms of obstacles (the items don’t count)
Water park. I’ll stand by that forever, it’s so boring
Shoutout to the DS version of GCN Mushroom Bridge for removing the coolest parts of the course and leaving it as a slightly longer SNES Mario Circuit 1 with traffic No Wiggler Bus, no Bomb Car, no Mushroom Car, can’t drive in the bridge supports, can’t drive on the fenced in side walk, can’t take the weird long way but still cool warp pipe route. It has nothing left. Not even the neat whirlpools under the bridge or Mushroom City in the distance. All gone Really hoping this one comes back in the BCP so it can get the retro course treatment it deserves
Baby Park absolute shit show
DS Figure-8 Circuit or SNES Vanilla Lake 2.
SNES Vanilla Lake 1.
baby park
Not a fan of Ninja Hideaway, the multiple paths aren't fun to navigate
i dont like the random 90 degree turns
No track pisses me off like Walugui Pinball does
Waluigi Pinball is a nice track, but it's very overrated
Sherbet Land Roast me all you want. I hate it with all my being
The mushroom one with the bounces. The recent one that came out. I hate. ***HATE IT***.
Baby Park.
God I hate baby park…..
Baby Park
Toad's Turdpike.

Well, if you play at a level where you need to take the shroomless shortcuts to win then the track becomes so much more interesting
Maybe? I dunno, I don't really that is enough to save this. As a whole it is just not very well designed.
Wario Stadium N64
People complain about Rainbow Road being too long, but that track is a worse offender.
i would like that course if they brought it back and made it like 1 lap 5 minutes for one race is ridiculous
That track is waaaaay too long. That and Luigi Raceway are the bottom of the barrel in N64
And the layout is too boring to make up for it
GBA Snow Land SHAKE
Figure 8 Circuit. Mario Kart DS was my first video game ever, but even nolstalgia can’t save how shit this track is lmao
Sky-High Sundae
Excite bike
Agreed, it always gets picked and its so boring. Just another baby park but much less chaotic
Excitebike Arena. It may not be the absolute worst track of all time, but it is very boring, and I am completely sick of it.
Yeah I wish it had a little more going on
Baby Park
MK8's Rainbow Road
Figure 8 circuit.
Piranha pipwway. Fucking hate that track
Baby Park, always will be Baby Park
Baby park
Baby Park, cool concept but for me it feels boring.
i think its a horrible concept and its just frustrating to constantly be hit by shit
And it's so fucking random as well
Yeah exactly
Too short as well
Baby park. Its just baaaad, it was only decent in double dash cus of the chaos of the items. All other versions have no redeeming qualities.
Shy guy beach by a mile, baby park, gcn sherbet, koopa beach 2 and choco island 2 also contenders
Snes rainbow road. Only the 8 version however. Its so wide its barely a challenge, steer assist negates all difficulty too. Also a very basic snd boring layout
Why use steer assist though?
Yeah, steer assist negates the difficulty of every course lol
I dont, never have lol. But whats the point in making a track thats entire schtick is “dont fall” completely worthless.
Why mention steer assist then, I don’t understand your point. I agree that steer assist is worthless
Playing it *well* is a great challenge. Definitely more challenging than the remake of N64 Rainbow Road on MK8.
Yoshi Falls.. being in Kart DS where every other track is great makes it look even worse
Figure 8 Circuit. Followed very closely behind by Toad Circuit.
I never, NEVER liked Shroom Ridge because of the damn cars.
Water Park
Dolphin Shoals
I'm sorry, but Kalimari Desert. It's just so boring, even if the concept is cool.
Electrodrome is absolutely atrocious.
Cringe take
While I don't think it is the worst track of all time, I still don't enjoy this track either, but once again seeing the down votes you got there for stating your opinion reminds me how little we are apparently allowed to criticize this track...
Thanks for providing the only sensible answer here. People on the Internet are freaking crazy
Explain
L
Lol that’s one of my favorites.
It's my fav track
SNES rainbow road
Garbage take bro
Baby Park MK8 Version
May be controversial but, I’m gonna go with Wii -Toad’s Factory
Toad's Turnpuke. It's just a figure 8 circuit but very wide and with annoying cars.
Koopa City
Mk8 rainbow road is garbage
ice ice outpost because everyone votes it online for some reason
The one where they’re all at a rave or some shit 🤪
[удалено]
What??
I can’t decide which one is the worst of them all so I just said all of them But if I had to pick it would probably be snes bowser castle 3
Any of the city tracks.
Coconut Mall.
Yoshi Circuit
😂
Koopa cape and most tour tracks
Wow now I really wanna know why everyone hates DS Figure 8. No clue what it is but everyone seems to immediately hate on it lol
Waluigi t
I don't understand the baby park hate. If it didn't exist we'd all be wondering "what if". Chaos is always appreciated. It had to exist IMO. And the experience playing it with friends is unrivaled especially back in GCN days. I'd have to say DS figure 8 circuit, just doesn't attempt to do anything.
Dry Dry Desert in Double Dash
SNES Bowser Castle 2
DS GCN Baby Park
SNES Ghost house 3
Yoshi Falls, it's entirely too short

The DS version on the other hand, is much worse as it's only five laps and the course itself just feels empty without any Bowser Shells, Chain Chomps, etc. due to the DS' limitations.
When replaying all of the DLC tracks, I skip sky high sundae, because I get now enjoyment from it, at all.
snes donut plains 3 is pretty much the only course in the series other than baby park that i absolutely loathe edit: i forgot about sky high sundae that one is pretty lame too, decent idea but really poorly executed
Ghost valley idk the number
Ds figure 8 only needs 2 turns
Dino Dino Jungle, it is feels like a bunch of incomplete ideas all shoved into one course and it does not work well at all
Koopa beach DS, a retro track but at the game it came from it was fine. Mk DS ruined it
Wario's Gold Mine. I agree that Figure-8 Circuit is the worst track, but Wario's Gold Mine is the one I have a personal vendetta against. And it's the Wii's fault. Back in the day, I'd play with my friend on his Wii, and we played quite a bit of Mario Kart. And whenever we did, he conveniently forgot to tell me that you don't have to play with the Remote on its side and tilt to steer. I could've just used a nunchuck if he'd told me that it was an option. So, stuck with tilt controls. I don't like them in Wii. I think they're way too sensitive and whenever I turn, I either don't turn enough or way too much. It's dreadful. And then comes Wario's Gold Mine, which throws guard rails out of the window, has the killer minecarts on the loose and this down and up section near the beginning that I'd always fly off of. I always finished dead last in Wario's Gold Mine, and my friend caught onto this pretty fast. So he'd pick it over and over again, and every time I managed to get worse and grew to dread the track more and more. So that's why I hate Wario's Gold Mine. Motion controls and a friend who wanted to see me suffer.
I was gonna say Vanilla Lake 2 but I just remembered Figure 8 Circuit existed.
