    Mario Kart Tour Tracklist - 3/11/2022
  • May as well repost the most up-to-date version of the Tour track list now that we're in the ST:

    u916dH3.png


    Was tempted to add Wii Koopa Cape since it's the only track from 7 missing, and there MIGHT be some object files pointing towards it; but those objects (wire mesh track and Unagi) have other courses they could be tied to, so it isn't as conclusive.

    Also, chances are high that we see one of those upcoming Yoshi tracks show up soon with the yearly Yoshi Tour (the Easter event) on the way. They could always just have GCN Yoshi Circuit be the spotlight track again, but with multiple Yoshi-themed courses datamined it'd be weird if none of them showed up.

  • Cross-posting from the general thread:
    Hey folks, we’re in talks with Pipeline to collaborate on a Mario Kart tournament to raise money for Ukraine. I’m currently looking to see if anyone is able to help out with designing some branding/promotional material, like a logo and flyer for social media. If anyone is interested, please send me a DM!
    If we got anyone up for doing some branding/promo material, send WestEgg a DM!
     
    Updated OP & Wave 1 Banners
  • Alright, the ST should be updated with all the latest information. Along with updating the main informational graphic, I thought I would freshen things up with some new banners referencing the Wave 2 courses.

    For posterity, here are the banners used during Wave 1:

    The-Race-Continues.png

    (Mario + Tokyo Blur)

    How-To-Purchase.png

    (Peach + Coconut Mall)

    Trailers-Media.png

    (Luigi + Paris Promenade)

    SeeYou.png

    (Bowser + Ninja Hideaway)

    Like I mentioned before, there was an Easter egg cameo hidden in one of the banners. I placed it in Banner 4, right behind Bowser - it's our good friend Pionpi from Super Mario Land! Why Pionpi, you might ask? Well, @Clov was hyping them up and it was on my mind when I made the banner.

    But my cameo spree hasn't ended there! Now there are eight cameos across the Wave 2 banners. A couple are a reference to my other threads, while the other six are references to posters in this thread. Can you find and identify them all?
     
    Wave 2 Poll Now Up!
  • New poll is up - choose your favorite Wave 2 course! Make sure to change your vote if you voted in the first poll. I didn't get to delete the old poll results.

    ...unrelated, but I find it funny how the "Nitro" term has stuck for new courses in Mario Kart fandom thanks to its usage in MKDS despite that just being a reference to the DS's code name, lol.
     
    Wave 2 Banners + Cameos
  • I plan on updating the OP to discuss Wave 3 by the end of the week. In the meantime, like with Wave 1, I'd like to share the current banners here for posterity. As you all know, I hid two cameos in each banner, dedicating space to the top posters of this thread with their favorite characters.

    For Banner 1, I decided to focus on myself, since I was the top poster in the thread. Using New York Minute as the background and taking the banner that would have Mario on it already, I decided to make cameos based on the other ST's I wrote this year. Thus, we have PAC-MAN to represent PAC-MAN MUSEUM + and Classic Tails to represent Sonic Origins.

    Banner 2, depicting Sky-High Sundae, features Marx from Kirby to represent @MondoMega and Iroha Tamaki from Puella Magi Madoka to represent @xghost777.

    How-To-Purchase-Wave2.png


    Banner 3, depicting Sydney Sprint features the avatar of @Skipper93653 and Nenji Ogata from 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim to represent @Thunder84.

    Lastly, Banner 4, depicting Waluigi Pinball, features Taki Tachibana from Your Name to represent @Magic-Man and Classic Sonic to represent @totofogo.

    Thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread in 2022! Looking forward to Wave 3 (and a few new banner cameos following a different, potentially more obvious theme) - let's hope for some great races on the new tracks!
     
    Updated OP for Wave 3
  • The Wave 3 OP is now live! We got some new banners reflecting the new courses, as well as an updated course list graphic. And in those new banners, we got some more cameo Easter Eggs - I imagine the theme will be pretty obvious once y'all start spotting who I put in. Can you find them all?
     
    Wave 3 Poll is up!
  • We got a new poll up for Wave 3! Choose your favorite course and let's see which one comes out on top.

    My prediction is that 3DS Rainbow Road takes the crown, with Rock Rock Mountain coming in second place.
     
    Wave 4 Release Trailer (Coming March 9, 2023)
  • WALUIGI STADIUM LOOKS SO GOOD DOUBLE DASH IS FINALLY HERE LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG (btw I was hoping for something other than Mario Circuit as the final DS track but oh well.)
    Also, DK Summit being the Wii track, does this effectively kill DK Mountain's chances as one of the 4 GCN tracks?
     
    Updated OP for Wave 4, Wave 3 Banners + Cameos
  • Busy day for the Mario Kart ST - that means we have an OP update! Enjoy the updated graphics, including new cameos for each banner.

    For posterity, here are the banners used in the thread for Wave 3, alongside their cameos. The theme this go around was Nintendo game released in 2022!

    Banner 1, featuring Merry Mountain, features cameos from Arceus (Pokemon Legends Arceus), the three members of Deep Cut (Splatoon 3), and Sprigatito (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet):

    The-Race-Continues-Wave3.png


    Banner 2, depicting London Loop, features cameos from Bayonetta (Bayonetta 3), Noah and Mio (Xenoblade Chronicles 3), and Shez (Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes):

    How-To-Purchase-Wave3.png


    Banner 3, depicting Berlin Byways, features cameos from a Sportsmate (Nintendo Switch Sports), Pauline (Mario Strikers: Battle League), and Fuecoco (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet):

    Trailers-Media-Wave3.png


    Banner 4, depicting 3DS Rainbow Road, features cameos from Kirby (Kirby and the Forgotten Land), Edge (Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope), and Quaxly (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet):

    We're in the second half of the Booster Course Pass, and the thread is still going strong. Thank you, everybody!!
     
    Updated OP for Wave 5, Wave 4 Banners + Cameos
  • Say hello to the new and improved ST! I've swapped editing software and changed up how I approached the graphics and banners. As of writing this post, I haven't changed the title banner, but you may see some changes in the future.

    As usual, here are the banners that were used for Wave 5. Each of them features a hidden cameo from The Super Mario Bros. Movie:

    The-Race-Continues-Wave4.png



    How-To-Purchase-Wave4.png



    Trailers-Media-Wave4.png



    See-You-Wave4.png


    No cameos on the newest banners, at least not yet. I'm still getting used to my new software. But I hope you enjoy the spruced up presentation!
     
    Wave 5 Poll + Wave 4 Poll Results
  • A couple of days late on this one, but with Wave 5 now released, we have an updated poll for the new courses. Pick your favorite and we'll see how it goes before Wave 6 is released!

    As for Wave 4, Yoshi's Island was unsurprisingly the clear favorite. Still one of my favorite courses in the Booster Course Pass, myself!

    Updated OP for Wave 6, Wave 5 Banners
  • Our last wave means one last set of banners to upload and preserve. I'll inevitable update the courses graphics once Wave 6 comes out, but we now have banners themed after every wave. So for posterity, here's the banners used for Wave 5:

    The-Race-Continues-Wave-5.png


    New-Racers-Wave-5.png


    How-to-Purchase-Wave-5.png


    Trailers-and-Media-Wave-5.png


    See-You-Wave-5.png


    No cameos this time or with Wave 6, but I did refine the visual presentation to something I feel pretty proud of. This was a long-term ST project, and I knew that going into the BCP. It's wild to see it finally come to a close, but it's nice to have a thread that's run for nearly two years off the back of these updates. We've come a long way from the days of Wave 1, and it'll be nice to see Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in its final released state.
