well they can't very well port tracks from 8Sigh, the best Mario Kart game continues to be ignored.
The japanese site has snippets on each course with the BP remixes https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/aabpa/coursepack/index.html
They went hard on the Rock Rock Mountain remix

Except Rock Rock Mountain for some weird reason. Thankfully the track still looks decent.It finally reached the base game graphical level

Don't worry, all the tracks from 8 are already there!Sigh, the best Mario Kart game continues to be ignored.

Double Dash is getting four tracks in the remaining three waves so it'll be treated well enough next year.
booooo, riverside park pleaseHopefully aside from Sunset Wilds, last GBA track is Bowser Castle 3/4.
Lakeside Park please!booooo, riverside park please
whyyyyyyLakeside Park please!
(Bowser Castle 3 would be my #1 pick)
Lakeside Park is brutal and would be awesome in Mario Kart 8 (I love the most difficult tracks the most) and there is a disturbing lack of Bowser Castles in Mario Kart 8. There’s only 8’s which is decent. Bowser Castle 3 is pretty cutthroat with some wicked turns and a really good final trek on the grating.whyyyyyy
I think we keep the prefix count. I think if I understood correctly the recent Tour datamine suggests even more is coming, but for most of this year the leaked City Tracks and leaked New Tour/BCP Tracks lined up exactly with the number of slots for the Booster Course Pass.Maple Treeway really came in and said "fuck your datamining" lol. But seriously though, now that we know the contents of the DLC aren't locked in predictions become a lot more interesting. Maybe some courses get replaced? We have five blank slots presumably for Tour but that could always change.
You talking about the way the road itself looks?3DS Rainbow Road looks awesome, really glad that they deviated away from the normal Rainbow Road style into something different.
I'm just not sure how Nintendo will pump out 4 city courses (at least), multiple variants of existing courses, and 5 brand new courses for Tour in less than a year. They haven't gotten anywhere close to that in a single year before. It's a bit much. I think they're all planned for Tour, but some won't make the jump.I think we keep the prefix count.

I’m torn how I feel about this in the sense there are more N64 courses I want for example, but I’d also want a complete enough collection of all the Tour/New tracks in Mario Kart 8 forever even if that means getting 14(!) city tracks.
Nah, the same tracks being designed for Tour are also going into MK8D for the most part. That's far better than the alternative (aka working on an unnecessary new Mario Kart game).as for the tour question, I am praying nintendo kills it immediately
any hands are 100% better spent elsewhere
the alternative I had imagined was anything good but you're right that that may not be guaranteedNah, the same tracks being designed for Tour are also going into MK8D for the most part. That's far better than the alternative (aka working on an unnecessary new Mario Kart game).
what the actual shit?! Where did EPD9 go?! They were right in front of me!the alternative I had imagined was anything good but you're right that that may not be guaranteed
I miss EPD 9, Tails. I miss them a lot. I'll be back
I think it’s a little different than it appears in the sense the newer courses of waves 4, 5, and 6 are happening because of the Booster Course Pass which are made for both rather than just Tour Tracks that are coming to the Booster Course Pass. We only need three more cities to complete the fourteen slots, not four.I'm just not sure how Nintendo will pump out 4 city courses (at least), multiple variants of existing courses, and 5 brand new courses for Tour in less than a year.

IIRC, there's three Tour city tracks in Wave 5 and two in Wave 6. Only Vancouver is known out of those.I think it’s a little different than it appears in the sense the newer courses of waves 4, 5, and 6 are happening because of the Booster Course Pass which are made for both rather than just Tour Tracks that are coming to the Booster Course Pass.

We already have a change here with Maple Treeway being bumped, but prior to that with the music leak it looked like:IIRC, there's three Tour city tracks in Wave 5 and two in Wave 6. Only Vancouver is known out of those.
Fuck I forgot about Bangkok. I figured I was missing something lolWe already have a change here with Maple Treeway being bumped, but prior to that with the music leak it looked like:
Wave 4
Fruit: Amsterdam, Wii, DS, New
Boomerang: Singapore, GCN, GBA, LA
Wave 5
Feather: Tour, Wii, Sunset Wilds, Tour
Cherry: Bangkok, GCN, SNES, New
Wave 6
Acorn: Vancouver,Maple Treeway, New, New
Blue Shell: Tour, GCN, New, Wii
Waluigi Stadium is floating now. So yeah three Tour City tracks left.
Anyone want to try to guess Wave 4 now? Here’s all the clues we have to work with:
Remaining prefix count with leaked tracks:
SNES 1
N64 0
GBA 2 (Sunset Wilds)
GCN 4 (Waluigi Stadium)
DS 1
Wii 3 (DK Summit, Koopa Cape)
3DS 0
Tour 8 (Amsterdam, Singapore, LA, Bangkok, Vancouver)
??? 5
Music Leak Placement:
Wave 4
Fruit: Amsterdam, Wii, DS, New
Boomerang: Singapore, GCN, GBA, LA
Wave 5
Feather: Tour, Wii, Sunset Wilds, Tour
Cherry: Bangkok, GCN, SNES, New
Wave 6
Acorn: Vancouver,Maple Treeway, New, New
Blue Shell: Tour, GCN, New, Wii
Waluigi Stadium is floating now.

High five we are in virtually full agreement!As I said previously, I think the music leak is a sign that those specific tracks are coming sooner rather than later, and as a result I'm expecting GBA Sunset Wilds and GCN Waluigi Stadium in Wave 4. I also think DS Airship Fortress is pretty much a lock, unless they decide to shift it down to Wave 5 or 6. Given that we're probably looking at a lot of DK over the remaining waves, I'd slot Wii DK Summit here as well, so that those tracks can be a bit more spread out, as well as ensuring one Wii track per wave. Change up some ordering, and this would be my prediction:
Berry Cup
Boomerang Cup
- Tour Amsterdam Drift
- GBA Sunset Wilds
- ??? (Yoshi)
- DS Airship Fortress
This would also put Vancouver Velocity in Wave 5, rather than Wave 6.
- Tour Singapore Speedway
- GCN Waluigi Stadium
- Wii DK Summit
- Tour Los Angeles Laps
Not surprised, it definitely feels like a fairly safe prediction. I think Vancouver could end up swapping with Singapore, but that's really all that I would change beyond maybe reshuffling the positioning.High five we are in virtually full agreement!
