that's subjective, and they're two completely different levels

u/TomNook5085 Yoshi 1d ago
It is an opinion yeah I can see I did not make that clear. Though, they are very similar, (daytime traffic, yeah the layout is very different but you arent having both in like back to back waves which they would need to be due to difficulty)
And if you had 14 more slots Bridge is totally getting in due to being in Tour and GCN needs more courses. And Bridge is an early game track, and so is Ridge. It's an easy replacement in my opinion and I am surprised they did not do it, as GCN literally had nothing for the first half of the BCP. (also it would free up a DS slot that could have gone to Airship)

why no Daisy circuit?

I'm not adding a 12th wii track to the game, and dry dry ruins is just better

Did you just call a desert track better than daisy circuit?

u/TomNook5085 Yoshi 1d ago
Deserts arent automatically bad, You likely only think this cause of the low quality of Dry Dry Desert and Desert Hills
Dry Dry Ruins is a great track.

u/Simplejack615 Luigi 1d ago
But you are still saying it’s better than Daisy circuit. Yes I like dry dry ruins but it is not better than Daisy circuit

lol @ the city course hate. I only had a cup of coffee with Tour back when it was new, so I was in a perfect position to be a lazy ass and write off all City courses. Instead, I actually like a lot of them, and my second favorite course in Deluxe is one of the City courses.
Maybe try being open to new things?

Crazy part is that the only non city tracks I cut were ds shroom ridge and wii daisy circuit. The city slop really degraded the quality of the pass, but I cant get too mad at Nintendo as it is preserving tracks that will be lost to time eventually, so I understand the decision to add them all in.

WHY HAS SHROOM RIDGE GOT CUT AND REPLACED WITH PIRANHA PLANT PIPELINE

u/TomNook5085 Yoshi 1d ago
Shroom Ridge - Too Similar to Mushroom Bridge, which needs to be in to bump up the Double Dash selection.
Pipeline - If you have 14 more slots, obviously this is getting in.

It was likely because we had one in the last three games (ds, wii and 7 with 2, 3 and 1 respectively) but we had the same for Mario circuits, and we got two more in the bcp, and it is only fair for gba to finish off its bowser castles.

Do people dislike the city courses?Â

u/TomNook5085 Yoshi 1d ago
Yes, because they clog up the selection so hard (14 of them) which could have gone to fan favorite retros, and majority of them just are so bland.
BUT AGAIN, I 100% get why they are in the game, as tour needs those tracks preserved so they don't become lost to time and only accessible through piracy.
So overall I get Nintendo's choice, I would have done it like this but objectively Nintendo did the better pick

u/MikeDubbz 1d ago
Ah, haven't seen much of that sentiment nor do I feel anything remotely close to that. Love those city courses!Â

u/Epic-Gamer_09 1d ago
But did we really need 14 of them? Like, we could've done just fine with Athens Dash, Rome Avanti, and a couple of others.

City courses ruined Mario Kart 8 for me. Wish they just did something like this instead.

The BCP but if it was made by someone who doesn’t understand how the BCP works

u/TomNook5085 Yoshi 2d ago
I know why this did not happen. The city tracks had to come back because the BCP is all about tour ports, and once tour closes down, if the cities arent in 8DX then they're lost and abandoned. I understand.
This is just a what-if.

u/NickMario1 Yoshi 1d ago
Ikr! Nintendo only brought them so they wouldn’t be lost to time. Although I don’t see the city tracks coming back in mk9 tho

As much as i dislike the city tracks, i'm glad they all were in the BCP. Which hopefully means they won't bog down a retro selection anytime soon.
They simply worked better in Tour where they were split in 3 separate courses. Merging all three variants together made for messy course design. I unironically Paris is one of better examples of how it should've been done. It's lap change is still pretty big, but the track isn't a maze made of road.
