GCN Baby Park – This is the course that your little brother picks because it’s “funny.” A novel concept, GCN Baby Park is simply an oval with seven laps. These courses are not only bad, but it seems to me like they are always picked by online players, making the next two and a half minutes miserable for me. After going through this tier list, you’ll know exactly what courses to look for when playing online, or at a house party… I think people bring Mario Kart to those, at least I do. This means I have to play them over, and over, and over again, you can imagine what that’ll do to someone. I won’t be including any of the DLC courses, but let it be known that the majority of people automatically pick them online. I did what any terminal Mario Kart Track-itus patient would do, and made a tier list chronicling my least favorite to favorite tracks. There are some courses that I dread playing, some that I couldn’t even be bothered to yawn at, and some in-between. Yet, as much as I love Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for those tracks among others, it does not love me back. I’m ecstatic to see my favorite courses like Wario Mountain, GBA Mario Circuit, or 3DS Piranha Plant Slide.

Once everyone picks, only one of those selections will be the track you end up racing on. There’s a random selection of three courses from the game, and one completely random course. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe doesn’t allow you to simply pick a course when playing online.

This meansI can remember these courses like the back of my hand, and have a hankering to talk about them.

Playing so much of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s online multiplayer has caused something to happen to me,terminal Mario Kart Track-itus. With the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass DLC, I just can’t get enough of the online play feature. Whether it’s anniversaries and the opportunities that arise to play classic games, exciting new ventures on the Nintendo Switch, or just revisiting games from my childhood, I’m always coming back. There’s always something that drags me back into the world of Super Mario.
