This topic seems like it could make for an interesting thread considering the sheer amount of courses that exist now. Which Mario Kart tracks do you think stand out as some of the best in the series? I'm sure this kind of thread has already been made at some point during the site's history but I couldn't find anything when I tried looking for one.

I'm sure this doesn't come as a huge surprise considering my username, but Maple Treeway is my favorite track in Mario Kart Wii. Everything about it, the scenery, the music, and the track itself being surprisingly difficult makes it almost perfect in my opinion. Autumn is my favorite season, so it is nice to see it done so well in this track.

Moonview Highway, another track from Wii, is also an incredibly strong entry in my opinion. It takes what was good about Toads Turnpike and gives it much more complexity than a simple loop. It takes quite a bit of skill to be able to evade vehicles effectively, so it is really rewarding when you are finally able to. The aesthetic is absolutely stunning, and I especially hope for an HD remake.

Finally something not from Mario Kart Wii. I really like Super Bell Subway from Mario Kart 8. The above-ground portion kind of reminds me of Coconut Mall, another strong Wii track, and the underground portion has a lot of interesting pathways. I also like the small reference to 3D World, a generally inconsequential Mario game.

I think the Wii U Nitro tracks (like Bone-Dry Dunes, Twisted Mansion, and Mount Wario) are the best of the Mario Kart tracks. But my favorite one of them all is remastered version of Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64
 
To me, I think my favorite course hands down is Rainbow Road on Mario Kart Wii! :D I just love how challenging it is and I love the atmosphere of it (music, surroundings, etc.). :)

I'm gonna make a top 5 with no real order because I can't just choose 1.
-Rainbow Road (Wii)
-Rainbow Road (7)
-Maka Wuhu
-Electrodrome
-Wario Colosseum
There's a lot of good ones though!
 
Literally anything Mario Kart 64.. the og game of course not those bad 8 remakes.

But yeah OG Rainbow Road and Yoshi Valley from 64 sign me up ayy.
 
Electrodrome from Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe) is one of my favorites. I really like the way this track is build,
the music is very nice as well as the colors and such. The Animal Crossing track (also from Mario Kart
8 (Deluxe)) is another favorite of mine, the fact that you drive through a Animal Crossing town is
pretty cool. I also like that big tree in the middle of the track. Rainbow Road from Double Dash!! is
also amazing.
 
I love the Animal Crossing and mansion track, reminds me of two of my most favorite games. :)
It's been a while since I've played so I may even like more.

I love Mario Kart, all the tracks I think are great (Even the infamous Wario?s Shipyard) But since I love them all, I can?t choose one favorite. So I?m gonna label one track from each game that are very unique: (With honorable mentions)

Super Mario Kart: Rainbow Road (Honorable Mentions: All Choco Island, Vanilla Lake and Koopa Beach courses)

Mario Kart 64: Yoshi Valley (Honorable Mentions: Kalimari Desert, Toad?s Turnpike, Royal Raceway and Banshee Boardwalk)

Mario Kart: Super Circuit: Cheese Land (Honorable Mentions: Riverside Park, Sky Garden, Sunset Wilds and Ribbon Road)

Mario Kart: Double Dash: Dino Dino Jungle (Honorable Mentions: Baby Park, Daisy Cruiser, Mushroom City, Yoshi Circuit and Wario Coliseum)

Mario Kart DS: Waluigi Pinball (Honorable Mentions: Luigi?s Mansion, Tick Tock Clock, Airship Fortress and Peach Gardens)

Mario Kart Wii: Maple Treeway (Honorable Mentions: Mushroom Gorge, Toad?s Factory, Coconut Mall, Wario?s Gold Mine and Grumble Volcano)

Mario Kart 7: Music Park (Honorable Mentions: Shy Guy Bazaar, Wuhu Loop, All of Mario Kart 7?s Star Cup, DK Jungle and Rosalina?s Ice World)

Mario Kart 8: Electrodrome (Honorable Mentions: Sweet Sweet Canyon, Thwomp Ruins, Sunshine Airport, Cloudtop Cruise, Excitebike Arena, Dragon Driftway, Mute City, Hyrule Circuit, Wild Woods, Animal Crossing, Super Bell Subway and Big Blue. Dang, that?s a lot for Mario Kart 8. I guess they are getting better at course designing. If they ever make DLC for Deluxe, I?d love to see what new courses there are.)
 
i have a few favorites, mostly because the only Mario Kart i've ever played was the Wii version and the Switch version!

1. MooMoo Meadows (Wii & Switch)
2. Animal Crossing
3. Thwomp Ruins
4. Rainbow Road (Wii & Switch)
5. Twisted Mansion
6. Bowser's Castle (Wii & Switch)
7. Hyrule Circuit
8. Dragon Driftway

tbh i love ALL the tracks! but these are by far my favorites <3
 
I think the one I love playing the most is the Egg Cup on switch :) Mute city being my favorite because of the soundtrack.
 
My favorite of them all has to be Waluigi Pinball from the DS game!
 
I absolutely love Rainbow Road on Mario Kart Super Circuit. There were bouncy ramps everywhere and you could blaze through the entire track within seconds if you have mushrooms and know what to do. :)

My other favourite would be Waluigi's Pinball. I remember when I was just messing around in time trial mode and getting hit by pinballs constantly.

I'll take Mute City as well because getting on to those boost panels in a chain really captures the feeling of F-Zero that it's a high speed course with tight turns here and there.

I don't really have a particular order for my favourites as they are all fun to race on. :D

Moo Moo Meadows is awesome!
 
Waluigi's pinball is horrible, I hate that damn pinball thing towards the end. I must say DS had some great tracks though that clock track is p awesome haha

Don't listen to Sheila, Waluigi Pinball is hella delicious :lemon:

My favorite tracks are Mario Circuit and Toad's Turpike from MK64, Waluigi Pinball from MKDS, Rainbow Road from MK Wii, and Neo Bowser City from MK7. My all-time fav is prob Rainbow Road because I played that track so many times when I was younger, I became a pro at it by the time I was like 12 lol

The music on that track was super catchy too, I've never even played Super Circuit and I love it ^^

SC is a great game, underrated as hell.

Yeah I like Pinball track but it's not that awesome in any other sense than design but not fun driving on ig lol XD
 
Maple Treeway (Wii version)
Sky Garden (DS version)
Neo Bowser City (MK8 version)
Animal Crossing

Those are my all time favorites. I also really like the DK track that was in MK64 & Wii
 
If Sky Garden is what I think it is I hate it so much :^^)

Maple Treeway is underrated, but fun, yeah.
 
Ribbon Road holds a special place in my heart and is probably my all-time favorite track. Rainbow Road (SNES) is a very close second.
