Hey Reggie, NeoGAF say they want all retro tracks in Mario Kart Switch, think you can do that for us Reggie?
GAF is insatiable, Reggie knows better.

I would just fix the N64 Rainbow Road so that going around the whole track once is one lap. The original N64 Rainbow Road felt like an endurance race and I loved it.

N64 Ghost level.
N64 Wario level.
N64 Choc Mountain.
N64 Star Road.
So all of N64 maps yeah?
Donkey Kong + Yoshi levels on 3DS were perfect too.

Any track as long as it's not from MK64.
I came in here intending to post those two tracks as well.
Wario Colosseum
Basically what all theses dudes said.
I don't really care what other tracks get in as long as Wario Colosseum is one of them.
That one and probably any Bowser's Castle in the series except for the SNES trash. Hopefully either the N64, GCN or Wii versions.

Wario Colosseum, Waluigi Pinball and those 2 1 lap courses from MK7.

Man. I just realized.
Wario always got the best tracks.

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
Yes please! Of course, I would fall off the edge just as much on a Mario Kart Trident as I used to on the real Trident, but I'd love every minute of it.

MK8 missing battle mode will never be fixed, what are the chances this version will?

What would the Crossing Cup even have for three other tracks that would be unique? The museum? That new campground place?
Well, according to rumors, the Switch port will have a new battle mode. It probably means actual battle arenas instead of more race tracks modified for it.
We still don't know for sure but that seems to be the general consensus.
Checker knights is the not-mk track I'd want the most. I'd love a track based on each major Nintendo property (and a character to go with them: where the fuck is captain falcon??) an advance wars track with a tank kart and one of the protagonists would be lit, same with a dkr cup and diddy+Conker+banjo (or more reasonably tiptup and Dixie)
Honestly my big three retro tracks that I DESPERATELY wanted were ribbon road and cheese land (I really wanted to see how those really abstract track concepts would translate into mk8) and neo bowser city
I'd like to see the desert track with the train, and warrior colliseum and honestly all the double dash tracks are great! I'd like to see more of the snes/gba tracks remade since those are the biggest graphical leap possible, and I like em
Oh shit daisy cruise would be lit af.
Mk8 also has a sick selection of original tracks, I'd love to see them up the ante even more

Doesn't have to be Animal Crossing, I just want four original tracks in that cup.
In this case just move Baby Park and Cheese Land to a new all retro cup and add two more courses.

Sorry yes, I mean arenas, MK8's "battle mode" is a joke. Not sure if i'm keen on re-bying a port.

Waluigi Pinball, Wario Colosseum, and Delfino Square would all be welcome additions.
But if we're throwing out F-Zero tracks, I want this bad boy:

Since Yoshi circuit and Baby park opened for door for previously used retro tracks to return I'd love to see Maple Treeway and Delfino Square.

Getting Coconut Mall and Koopa Cape back would be neat.
Seeing more SNES tracks would also be grand since they'd be redone in the MK8 engine, with all that entails.

I don't understand how this track hasn't come back in any future Mario Kart games. It would be great for Mario Kart 8, especially with some zero-G segments.
I'd also like to throw in my vote for Vanilla Lake 2 from Super Mario Kart.

I don't know about prior Mario Karts, but Wario most definitely has the absolute best track in MK8!

That would
Actually be pretty rad. Can you imagine that underwater section in HD?
Only problem would be that its BGM was from the anime, although I suppose they could just switch it with The Legendary Air Ride Machine or something.

Waluigi Pinball (DS)
Wario Coliseum (GCN)
Maple Treeway (Wii)
Actually also just most of the DD tracks because I love that game

I don't think they have any issues with anime licensing, the whole thing was handled by HAL so they should have rights to it.
Add Wario Stadium and Choco Mountain to that list.
And add another vote for Warrior Colloseum and DK Summit.
Also like to see:
Dino Dino Jungle, DK Mountain, Daisy Cruiser (GCN)
Mushroom Gorge, Koopa Cape and Toad's Factory (Wii)
Delfino Square, Shrom Ridge, AIr Fortress (DS)
Wuhu Loop, Shy Guy Bazaar, Rock Rock Mountain and Maka Wuhu (3DS)
I would also LOVE to see Arcade tracks ported over to consoles.
Both GCN Yoshi Circuit and Baby Park first appeared as retro tracks in Mario Kart DS and SNES Rainbow Road was a retro track in Mario Kart 7 too.
All 3 reappeared as DLC retro tracks in MK8 so yeah, there's precedent they're using old retro tracks again.
As for the best ones being already used, tho I agree to some extent, there are still too many good tracks left to choose from.
As you can see, except for N64, all the Special Cups from all the games have been heavily underrated for some reason.
That's why I feel confident we'll see at least one Bowser's Castle as a retro track.
Really, I was a little upset when DS Wario Stadium got in instead of Wario Colosseum in MK8.

How was this one not included in Mario Kart 8!?

The composition copyright is listed in Brawl as belonging to Akira Miyagawa (the show's composer). I can't imagine what exactly went on but my guess is that as it was cut in Smash 4 they didn't want to jump through the same hoops to nab it again (granted, that game had far more going on in it than MK8, but still).
Regardless, I want to be proven wrong and now absolutely need this idea to become reality lol
