Shroom Ridge and Toad Circuit are my favorites. What can I say? I like traditional sorts of tracks. They play really well.

Possible leak of the upcoming Wave 2, take with a grain of salt. (Archive)

Spoiler: List

EDIT: Hit reply too early and archive.md took a dump.

Get ready! Wave 2 is imminent.

Wave 1 was great so here's hoping more good stuff in the next one.

Hmmm. Yeah probably. The real question is are we going to get Waluigi Pinball?

While we wait, new TroonSalt video:

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Nice selection. Definitely a step up from round one. You got your Waluigi Pinball and Kalamari Desert looks great. I love the SNES tracks.

I wasn't expecting a brand new track at all, nor Snow land from the GBA. That was a pleasant surprise.

I hope Rosalina's Ice World makes it later

I think the new track is a bit of a switcheroo. If you look at the fine print on the bottom it says that the ice cream track will be coming to Mario Kart Tour soon. So it's still a Tour track that got shifted over. But I also don't really care about that like some people seem to; the wave 1 tracks were good fun and these also look great. WALUIGI PINBALL AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

All we need now is Daisy Cruiser and the game is fucking perfect.

I want N64 bowser castle and DS Airship Fortress, N64 Wario Stadium would be cool too since it hasn't been reused yet.

That would be cool. I would like to see some longer tracks with 2 laps or the ones that are checkpoints and not laps.

Comment sections got everything they wanted (zero-g, a new track, better looking levels, Waluigi Pinball) and have already started complaining.

I really don't get the Mario Kart 9 people. It's like they want to pay 60 bucks instead of 25 for a new game.

I hope Mushroom Bridge shows up in a future pack, always been one of my favourites.

 

[Din Djarin]

Basically repeating everyone else, but what a great wave! I'm happy with all of the tracks, but especially Waluigi Pinball and Kalamari Desert.

As opposed to, what exactly? N64 Tracks on the OG N64 game were wide too. Hell, you could actually explore Peach's castle in that game. It wasn't gated off like it is in 8.

Where the FUCK is my N64 Banshee Boardwalk?

Yeah I really liked being able to drive around some of the levels and explore. Mario Kart is probably going to become Diddy Kong Racing at some point and that's fine.

But yeah people were complaining about the cars looking too small on the tracks and that this was proof of Nintendo being SO LAZY AS USUAL GUYS LOL I LOVE REVIEWTECHUSA and that Nintendo should shrink the tracks down a bit so that everything looks right. So since that's the complaint, I'm going to assume that there is nothing wrong with wave 2.

I was watching the trailer again and that Snow Land map keeps catching my attention. It has that raised portion of track overlooking a wide expanse of track below and I don't know why I find that so interesting. But I'm getting the feeling that Snow Land might end up being the unexpectedly good track in this wave.

I hope Dino Dino Jungle from Double Dash is in one of the dlc cups. That was one of my favorite tracks.

Another great track that needs to be included in the dlc.

Dino Dino Jungle has the sort of design that would slot right into Mario Kart 8. And Banshee Boardwalk or any of the Ghost Valley courses would be nice. If you wanted to make some wild and crazy speculative writing prompts, you could consider that the additional tracks allow for the creation of custom GPs. For instance if you added Dino Dino Jungle or DK Pass, it would work very well with DK Jungle, Thwomp Ruins and Shy Guy Falls as a sort of "mystery adventure" GP.

Banshee Boardwalk or Ghost Valley fits in great with Twisted Mansion, Bone Dry Dunes and Dry Dry Desert as a "spooky" GP. And you can start pairing these tracks off in all sorts of directions to come up with neat ideas. I wouldn't be too surprised if during planning discussions this sort of theming device came up as a way to choose tracks.

I think that Luigi Raceway, Daisy Cruiser and Toad's Factory are highly likely as additions. Someone earlier mentioned Airship Fortress which I would love to see, but I am not as optimistic for that one.
