Ignore the black box

Thing haven't really changed. 9th Gen has been a sham. PlayStation has only had 1 full time exclusive game in 4 years, and the second one comes out late next year, with a possibility of being delayed to 2026. Xbox hasn't even had 1 either.
Plus Sony made a mid gen refresh that costs 300 dollars more with microscopic changes.

I mean, it could've just been a SfA message, but it isn't "useless"

Eh, give it a week and he'll be back(I hope)

Okay, thanks Blely.

Chat is this real?

Fixed it for ya!

So it's "undodgeable" then?

So you're saying that Super Horn/Boomerang Flower has a chance...

Also how do you dodge it now?(Or can you not)

How does this keep happening?

Wishing you all the best in the future, and hope to see you again someday.

So, it's looking like soundtracks will be added weekly/biweekly. A good sign compared to NSO's usual drip-feed.

Have you ever heard of GilvaSunner?(the legit OST uploader) Basically that but for Switch games. The best place to get RIPs from Switch games on YT, in fact. Nintendo toook 'em down last month. They have a secondary channel, but it's going to take a long time to re-upload all the music. They probably won't bother with it.

I say like GilvaSunner, but GilvaSunner never had full OST playlists and 30 min extended versions. It was a great channel.

Goes back to that habit? They never stopped. (RIP NintendoMelody, died last month)

In any case, I haven't tested it. It's not available here( a lot of apps aren't)

Actually, wait a minute. I have an idea.

I'm here to pitch the idea that the best Ghost Track in Mario Kart...

is Wario Shipyard.

Here's why:

1: Uniqueness. All the other Ghost tracks overlap with each other. Ghost Valley, Boo Lake/Broken Pier & Banshee Boardwalk are all too similar to stand out (no, changing the void to water does not make Banshee Boardwalk different) Luigi's Mansion & Twisted Mansion also have some overlap, except 1 is barely an actual Mansion. Wario's Shipyard is literally a haunted castle & pirate ship graveyard, which is metal af.

2: Layout. I don't have to say anything about the first 3 games, there's nothing doing. Luigi's Mansion is also quite simple. Twisted Mansion gets a bonus point over it here. But Wario's Shipyard is a masterpiece of level design.

Underwater sections have always been heavily underused in Mario Kart, but when they're done well, they're good. Piranha Plant Cove is far and away the best example, but Wario Shipyard is definitely second place. Actually moving in and out of the water, instead of just going down a bit and popping back up later(usually with a ramp) and calling it a day. Extended water segments, and not just a single corner/oval. That one part where you exit the water onto the shipdeck & re-enter the water, making the water feel like an actual part of the track, and not some disconnected segments like is usually the case.

3: The music. Ghost themes in actual Mario games are quite good(except Big Boo's Haunt). Take Waltz of the Boos, for example.



Or for a more unique approach, Deep Dark Galaxy.



And lastly, for a more haunted house style piece, Haunted Halls from 3D World.



All wonderfully made.

As for Mario Kart...

Well, first off, three of them are remixes of Mario World's Ghost House(guess which three...) and that's a good song, but not original(And only one of these remixes is good to listen to imo), which isn't really a good look. Luigi's Mansion theme is also quite good, but it's pretty dated sounding (especially since MK7 didn't remix any of it's DS & Wii retro track music, and neither did Tour).

Twisted Mansion's theme is a masterpiece, almost makes me wish the track was good enough to deserve the song. (Another point over Luigi...hey guys, I think Twisted Mansion is better-)

Wario Shipyard? Well, it's not going for the generic "Spoopy place" music. It goes for this crazy electric guitar + synth sound, which doesn't have much to do with the track. But as far as the music goes, it goes stupid.(and includes a Wario Land reference! too)



Of course, most of the people here are biased to DS(& Wii, but there aren't any ghost tracks there), and this isn't likely to sway anybody. But I do think Wario easily has the best Ghost track in the series. And the(second bc Vancouver) best Snow track too, but y'all aren't ready for that conversation yet

8DX Boo Lake, simply because I actually want to listen to the music. Looking at you, Ghost Valley.

I'd say Luigi's Mansion if it literally had anything to actually do with Luigi's Mansion, like we enter the front door and then it's just...nothing. Twisted Mansion is fine, Banshee Boardwalk is too long & boring(most 64 tracks are). The pickings are extremely slim.

How do people even find these ancient topics

Also, looking back, this really doesn't have anything to do with Baby Peach's history, it's just a list of her appearances and a render for each one.

ngl it really is just an "Oh my god bro" for me.

It's not possible yet. Maybe it never will be.
