Definitely Mount Wario. It almost feels like cheating to pick it.

If I'm not allowed to pick Mount Wario, definitely Sunshine Airport. Beautiful-looking stage, really tight track, punishing at points but it rewards good play. Nice environment for a kart racer too, racing in an airport and on the tarmac.

My top 3 in no particular order:

Toad Harbor
Sunshine Airport
Rainbow Road

And I hate most of the DLC tracks, except for the F-Zero ones and Wild Woods.

Animal Crossing is my favourite track. I love the different seasons and I also love the beautiful piano music at the finish.

Wow are you me lol? Those are my choice as well.

+1 for Mount Wario:

- Epic intro (from a plane!)
- Amazing track that does NOT "repeat" (each lap is different)
- Closed off track that leads to that cool "break and turn around" maneuver at the end of the race
- Nice variety of scenery (slopes, woodsy area, etc)
- And the crowning achievement... Somehow, by some fucking magic/voodoo, this track has the absolute best tune in a game full of amazing tunes (my favorite soundtrack of this generation, by far)... Awesome brass arrangement punctuated by the even more awesome violin/fiddle that plays throughout. Truly the perfect tune.

Gonna have to go Mount Wario just for the way it's so different in each section and builds to the most incredible blue shell rickety climax in Mario Kart history. You get hit by a blue shell on that last straight and it's first to last in no time. Hilarious, beautiful, well crafted track.

Honourable mention to Hyrule circuit.

Toad Harbor because of this.

Mount Wario might be my favorite track in any Mario Kart game. I love the longer ones like that which never repeat.

The only courses in Mario Kart 8 that can't hang with the best in the series are the first three, Mario Kart Stadium, Water Park, and Sweet Sweet Canyon. For my money all of the other original courses are on par with or better than the best courses in the entire rest of the series.

Super Bell Subway, because it's shaped like my favorite track in other racing games. I like all the long U-turns.

I'm going to go with Mount Wario. Playing through that for the first time left me in awe. One straight track from the top to the bottom of the mountain, with the music getting more intense as you race down.

Electrodrome is my second choice. You're literally driving through a rave.

 

[TheMoon]

Add me to the list. It's the standout track for me. I love the variety, the theme, the jumps. It's a great track.

you forgot DA MUSIC

seriously, the Ice Ice Outpost music always gives me Xenoblade vibes.

I would have put it on here before I realized the shortcut was dildos.

huh??

Mount Wario, Mute City, Big Blue, Excitebike.

Hard to pick a favorite. Toad Harbor, Electrodrome, Sunshine Airport, Cloudtop Cruise, Bowser's Castle, Rainbow Road, Super Bell Subway, Wild Woods and Big Blue are all tits.

Maybe I'm crazy but the Ice Ice Outpost theme reminds me of the intro stage theme from Mega Man & Bass.

Animal Crossing track is my favourite track from any Mario Kart ever.

The music, them visuals
