I remember playing this track on the E3 Demo that was really fun considering that i got to play it before release :3 I played the demo like 16 times because i could not get enough of it! Mario Kart 7 was the first game i got really excited for, but that is also because of that i was 11 years old around that time and i started to slowly understand gaming business and stuff. I never was aware of game releases before that age xD

Not only would it look incredible in HD, but imagine that soundtrack being played with LIVE MUSIC. Holy crap. I need it.
I'd be happy to see Daisy Hills or Shy Guy Bazaar come back, as well. Both tracks were fun and definitely had some unique aspects to them. I'm not a fan of the Wuhu tracks, though. I think that's in part because of all the idiots online who used that glitch in Maka Wuhu to cheat their way to first place and it got to the point that I was pretty much the only one who refused use the cheating method and got last in those races every time. Granted, I know they fixed the glitch eventually, but those courses are just a bit spoiled for me because of that.
I hated Wario's Shipyard a lot too but Wuhu Loop (The first Wuhu track, i do not know what it is called in both of the english versions of the game.) is not all that bad right? There weren't really major glitches in that track if i remember correctly. I know that there is also a out of bounds shortcut but it did not nearly save as much time as it did for the second Wuhu track.

This is how I felt when GBA Cheese Land and Ribbon Road were confirmed: (Mostly Cheese Land)

Gamexplain have posted videos of actual ingame races for;
Suber Bell Subway
Ribbon Road
Big Blue
Wild Woods
So we now know their track layouts. :3
I'm not watching Super bell subway or Big Blue.
But Ribbon road looks lethal. 200 cc on that will be murder

I still need to see Cheese Land gameplay.

I'm in love with Big Blue after I saw gameplay.
How can they even call that Ribbon Road?! The layout is NOTHING like the original! It doesn't even have the same music!
Nintendo just slapped the GBA tag on it. I'm really not impressed. I think this is what happens when they listen to requests. :/

I know! The toy room is unexpected, making it look like a new course, but still cool. The music is a dull remix to me, I like the original better...
Cheese Land on the other hand, it looks like a desert, but a cheesy one (It was a joke, not the real meaning for it) The music is really awesome, they did well on it.
Overall, looking forward to those 2 GBA retros! ^.^

Baby park 7 laps confirmed. And full laps of everything bar F-zero, I believe. And maps get turned on during the first race of bell cup!!! No maps for Crossing cup though.

Ok, I seen Cheese Land. All I wanted to see.

Cheese lands layout seems pretty similar to the original.
Ribbon Road on the other hand...
Around the start line is similar, the other 2/3rds...
Still mad that Cheese Land isn't set at night like in the original.
It looks too much like a desert now...
I sure hope they remake it again in a later MK because to me the way they changed it is disappointing.
I mean, they didn't change the other GBA tracks like this...
Even the MKW CT version is better. They even got the background right!
And no, you will NEVER hear the end of me complaining about this. c:

Personally I'm happy both tracks are pretty different. Most tracks are really similar, and stuff like Music park already bored me to tears on MK7 with how often it was chosen online, and I loathe it now because it's exactly the same again. These tracks are so different that to me they count as brand new tracks. And really who would have complained if we were given a brand new ribbon / cheese themed track.
The only reason people are complaining really is because it says GBA on the selection screen, remove that and would there still be an issue?
Though I do agree, Cheese land at night could have made it a much prettier track.
On the other hand, I've seen soo many people complain that Snes RR is too similar to how it was (every time) before. So there really is no one option pleases all here is there?

Did anyone order a 200cc Baby Park? (and moo moo meadows)
I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I start playing it.
But my way of thinking is that each track has one chance to come back (right now) and once it returns, that's it.
"Remake Ribbon Road? But we already did that! Next~"
There are some exceptions, but only because of extreme demand.

But that's the thing, there was extreme demand for both Cheese land and Ribbon road.
Of the returning DLC tracks 3 of them are on their 3rd round. And exclusing Snes tracks (as they were all on the GBA MK) No track had ever returned twice until this DLC, in which we've had 3/7 return for a second time.
I just don't think the general rule of remade tracks not returning applies to the DLC, and the remaining 4 returning tracks may well return in the future. Especially since not every MK8 owner will get the DLC, so they're not really full returning tracks are they?
Edit: Also, DLC patch notes: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/700050-mario-kart-8/71630613
Kind of unhappy with this, because if they've included a note for 10 new miiverse stamps, but not a 48 track option or 4 new battle arenas, I'm guessing these things aren't being added. D:
Also Manda you'll be able to put the map on screen now.

The way whoever's driving turns corners on Baby Park cracks me up. I'm sure I'll do the exact same thing, but still. xD

I know, the only times they didn't hit the wall was when they hit something before hitting the wall, and most of those times they still hit the wall anyway. xD
I loved their lap 1 of Moo Moo Meadows though, so many turns went wrong but that meant the items were all missing them and they came out in 1st. xD

Based on the videos I am happy with most of the DLC tracks. The only tracks I don't really like is Baby Park and Ribbon Road. I can definitely see Baby Park being a huge disadvantage for bike users. As for Ribbon Road, I don't really hate it, but I am wondering why two GBA tracks? I think a different track would've been a much better choice and there would be more from a variety of Mario Kart game. I would've like to see a track from the Wii track to return though such as Toad's Factory for example.
Whoa i love how the music is playing a little bit faster with every lap that you finish, those little neat touches that Mario Kart 8 has just makes the game perfect. It adds that extra chunk of personality to every track!
