Hey everybody! I've recently been playing alot of Mario Kart 8 with my friends and am going to be picking it up (along with a Wii U) once I save up enough money in a couple pay cheques. So to get myself prepped up for owning the game myself, I'm gonna share with you guys my list of my favorite Mario Kart tracks. Most of these tracks will however be from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart DS because those are the tracks I remember the most. I will also include video links to these tracks as I list them. With that being said, let's begin.

10: Koopa Troopa Beach (Mario Kart 64)

You're always open for an attack; a track that relies heavily on skill to win.

9: Wario Colosseum (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRkghP…

Tight turns, crazy jumps and absolutely confusion; gotta love it!

8: Ribbon Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)

Once again, crazy turns and out-of-control jumps (as well as bright vibrant colours) give this track a sweet yet nasty look

7: Waluigi Pinball (Mario Kart DS)

This is just a fun track to race on. The best part about this track is the sound effects are given a more "arcade- style" tune.

6: Toad's Turnpike (Mario Kart 64)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0P_Xw…

By far one of the most frustrating tracks in MK64, Toad's Turnpike had you dangerously swerving around trucks and buses on an endless freeway loop. This track normally was annoying, mirrored though, it's a fucking nightmare as you are racing head-on into traffic.

5: Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIvqSG…

One of my best tracks from Mario Kart DS, this track has you racing directly towards Bullet Bills that are being fired at you, dreaded Rockt Wrenches that will cause you to flip out if you hit them and a giant cannon that blasts you into a spiral tower. Fittingly deserving to be in my Top 5.

4: Banshee Boardwalk
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PP7bh…

I don't mean to brag but I consider this to be my best track on Mario Kart 64. Squeeling walkways, a house with bats flying at you and Boos give this track an eerie presense. Just don't fall of and you'll be fine... or will you be!?

3: Tick-Tock Clock (Mario Kart DS)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ_WhL…

Once again, a very fun track to play in Mario Kart DS. Heavily influenced off the level of the same name from Super Mario 64, you race on a gigantic clock based track where the hands cause you to spin out if they hit you, you flip out if you hit the pedulum and you can ride on the gears to get a slight speed boost. I especially love the music on this track.

2: Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7doJ87…

Over the years, Bowser's Castle has gone through some epic forms in Mario Kart; but Mario Kart may be arguably the most epic Bowser's Castle ever!! You have everything, lasers, fireballs, lava, giant boulders, everything to make Bowser's Castle dangerous and awesome; oh did I mention that there is a GIANT MOLTEN ROCK BOWSER THAT PUNCHES THE TRACK!?!?!?

1: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJF-u9…

This probably didn't come as a surprise to most people. Rainbow Road is one of the most iconic race tracks in Mario Kart history and this was the version of Rainbow Road that made it legendary! At 2000 miles long, it is one of the longest courses in Mario Kart history (Maybe even THE longest) The track has light displays of all the characters in the game as you progress throughout the track. The only real dangers on this track are the Chain Chomps that go down the track as well (Well, there is also the chance of getting knocked off the track by a hostile Red Shell but what are the odds of that happening right?) This track is so legendary, it was even brought back in Mario Kart 8; which can be down there

The music; unforgettable, the nostaliga; undeniable. Simply put, this track is the epitome of Mario Kart and is very deserving to be my all-time favorite Mario Kart track.

Honourable Mentions

Royal Raceway (Mario Kart 64)
Bowser's Castle 1,2,3 and 4 (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)
DK Mountain (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)
Peach Gardens (Mario Kart DS)
Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart Wii)
All other Rainbow Roads
Some other tracks I can't name off the top of my head right now.

Anyway, hope y'all liked this countdown. I'll be back next update with some more stuff. As always, follow me on Twitter twitter.com/ElecTrickColt and I'll see y'all later.

Don't get any on ya! Peace!
