With the Switch event a mere week away we'll no doubt be seeing the Switch version of Mario Kart which is believed to be an expansion of Mario Kart 8. For reference the retro tracks currently available in Mario Kart 8 are:
SNES: Donut Plains 3, Rainbow Road
N64: Toad's Turnpike, Royal Raceway, Yoshi Valley, Rainbow Road
GBA: Mario Circuit, Ribbon Road, Cheese Land
Gamecube: Dry Dry Desert, Sherbet Land, Yoshi's Circuit, Baby Park
DS: Cheep Cheep Beach, Wario Stadium, Tick Tock Clock
Wii: Moo Moo Meadows, Grumble Volcano, Wario's Goldmine
3DS: DK Jungle, Music Park, Piranha Plant Slide, Neo Bowser City

I don't think we can run under the assumption that Nintendo won't bring back retro tracks that have already appeared in previous games as SNES Rainbow Road was in both Mario Kart 7 and 8 (and Super Circuit technically).

I'm personally a pretty big fan of Alpine Pass from Mario Kart 7, mostly because I think it would look amazing in HD. There isn't a whole lot I would do to change the track as most of the mechanics from Mario Kart 7 are present in 8, perhaps make the final stretch where you avoid boulders an anti-gravity section.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Funky Kong.

Funky Stadium.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Funky Kong.

I too would love to race on a giant Funky Kong.

Edit: oh actually you bring up an interesting point of Battle Stadiums

Block Fort 64

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Block Fort.

 

[purseowner]

The entirety of Double Dash.

 

[Zalman]

Waluigi Pinball!

 

[User123456]

Oh hey a Waluigi Pinball thread

 

[Possumowner]

Every single one...Go all out,the ultimate Mario Kart

 

[Jawbreaker]

Peach Beach because the music makes me happy (and I'm not fond of Daisy Cruiser).

 

[J@hranimo]

WARIO COLOSSEUM

 

[GurgleBot20]

Every single one...Go all out,the ultimate Mario Kart

Do this and bring back the all-cup GP from Double Dash for the ultimate marathon.

 

[Berordn]

I don't think we can run under the assumption that Nintendo won't bring back retro tracks that have already appeared in previous games as SNES Rainbow Road was in both Mario Kart 7 and 8 (and Super Circuit technically).

More importantly, if they did this there would be no more N64 retro tracks and I don't think the internet would allow that.

Anyway the real answer is Wario Shipyard.

 

[nickgia]

Baby Park and Block Fort (for battle) are all I need!

 

[Platy]

Cosmo Terminal - Trident

Mario Kart 8 had 2 F-Zero Based tracks and ignored THE track for anti gravity mechanics !

Obviously the tracks would have to be larger but c'mon ! It is BEGGING to happen

 

[FunkyDealer]

Alpine Pass is a good'un.
I'd also like to see Wario's Galleon (Shipyard).

It's got a very cool and distinctive design, with sunken ships, giant enemy crabs, and a moody storm.

Yes, great track.

 

[Tregard]

Waluigi Pinball and Wario Colosseum

 

[Zalman]

Shoutout to Koopa Troopa Beach because the music is jolly as heck.

Also if we're talking battle mode stages, bring back the Nintendo DS level.

 

[Timeaisis]

Wario Colosseum and DK Mountain. Yeah, I love Double Dash, so what.

 

[MrBadger]

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

All of them.

 

[Berordn]

While they're at it, I really want them to make the Triforce Cup and Crossing Cup into proper cups by moving the retro courses to proper retro cups and adding in enough new tracks to make them stand alongside the others.

It's a dumb complaint, but my OCD won't let it stand any longer.


plus i'd like another two f-zero courses so that we can just have a proper f-zero cup

 

[Jonneh3003]

Hey Reggie, NeoGAF say they want all retro tracks in Mario Kart Switch, think you can do that for us Reggie?

 

[InfiniteCombo]

They made my dreams come true when they put SNES Rainbow Road in there, so I don't feel that strongly about which other retro tracks, if any, are included.

I really dig the rainbow roads, so maybe bring all of them back?

Some other SNES tracks would be good, too, since in my opinion it may be the Mario Kart game that's aged the worst, track-wise.

 

[Crooked16th]

Just remaster Double Dash with the Mario Kart 8 engine.

 

[JohnTinker]

Block Fort
Revamped Skyscraper

 

[Timeaisis]

Just remaster Double Dash with the Mario Kart 8 engine.

Ding ding ding.

Mario Kart 8 + Double Dash is my dream game.

 

[LegendofLex]

GameCube and GBA need more love. These are probably the ones I want most to see realized in HD:

Banshee Boardwalk
Sky Garden
Mushroom City
Wario Colosseum

Block Fort
Double Deck

Spoiler

Rainbow Cup

 

[RM8]

WARIO COLOSSEUM

THIS!

Best MK track ever.

Rainbow cup? Yesssssss

 

[RedToad64]

Wario Colosseum would have been perfect with the anti-gravity mechanic in Mario Kart 8.

 

[J@hranimo]

Alpine Pass is a good'un.

Oh man, this too. Now I don't know what I would want between this Wario track and Wario Colosseum...

 

[DarkConfidant]

SNES Ghost House.


Also, every single Rainbow Road. There needs to be Rainbow Cup if that's not already a thing.

 

[self_aware_keyboard]

Delfino square

 

[Metaternal]

Finally time for Vanilla Lake to come back. Gimme dat remix

Oh, and Moonview Highway can replace Toad's Turnpike

 

[JCX]

Delfino Square, Waluigi Pinball, Airship fortress

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

Sky Gardens and DK's Jungle Parkway

 

[DarkTom]

Block Fort.

This can't be quoted enough.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Waluigi Pinball, Bowser's Castle 64, Sky Gardens, Wario's Shipyard

Fun stages. WP in HD is the dream. Sky Gardens with 8's style of remaking the GBA courses would be great too. What they did to Cheese Land and Ribbon Road is mesmerizing.

 

[tim1138]

The Wiggler track from MK Wii and Yoshi Falls from MK DS.

 

[Ushojax]

GCN DK Mountain
GCN Wario Colosseum
DS Delfino Square
Wii Maple Treeway
3DS Rock Rock Mountain

They really should try and cram as many tracks in as possible, they don't really need to touch the base game for the next few years, just focus on DLC.

 

[PadWarrior]

Coconut Mall
Maple treeway

 

[LuuKyK]

Just remaster Double Dash with the Mario Kart 8 engine.

Yes please.

 

[majorscud]

Block Fort.

This guy knows what he is talking about. Best battle map ever!

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Before Mario Kart 8 was released, I always worried that Nintendo would stick staunchly to a rule of only resurrecting circuits that hadn't been done before, but I was happy they included some retro tracks that appeared in the retro cups in games after Mario Kart DS.

I'd love to see Cookie Land return if Coin Runners mode makes it in.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Delfino Square! My GOAT.

 

[Thud]

Banshee Boardwalk.

 

[SuperDowns]

Cosmo Terminal - Trident

Remake F-Zero in Mario Kart.

Easily my favorite part of the DLC was Big Blue and Mute City. MORE MORE MORE, PLEASE!

 

[muteki]

All the Battle tracks.

And some of the more difficult SNES tracks...but to scale. I want to drive on some narrow-ass roads.

 

[fabricated backlash]

If Battlemode is back in (MK64 style or bust) then blockfort is a must. Best Arena ever.
