8. SNES
A bunch of L's, U's, and O's with the only exception being Mario Circuit 2. Also practically only 3-5 maps with 8 colors.
7. GBA
Imported all the SNES trash, but for a 2D game, they made their maps long like 64 so game feels sluggish.
6. DS
Hot take: MKDS maps suck. Retro wise they got the SNES trash, oofed the GCN tracks, N64 and GBA tracks are ok but some boring maps where chosen(Peach Circuit, Moo Moo Farm, etc.) Nitro wise, some are amazing like Bowsers Castle and Luigi's mansion, while others are atrocious like Waluigi Pinball(skill issue I keep dying to the pinballs) and Figure 8 Circuit.
5. 64
The maps are ok, but really long. They're still fun tho.
4. 3DS
Fucked up the Wii maps the other retro tracks were ok. The nitro tracks... Jesus Christ they were amazing.
3. Wii
Same case as 7, just better nitro tracks(imo)
2. GCN
No retro tracks, all are amazing except the Mario Circuit sand pit chunk
1. WiiU/Switch
Although they fucked up a couple of tracks they have insane quality

9. SNES (lack of themes, bland shapes, it was the first MK ever but still...)
8. N64 (I dislike most of MK64's tracks, there's a few great ones like the Bowser's Castle, the Rainbow Road or the Wario Stadium, bust most are meh in my opinion)
7. GBA (although it's a 2D game, they put much more effort than in SMK: varied themes, varied paths, gimmicks, etc. Not great but definitely better than the first 2 MKs)
6. 3DS (I'd say 2 thirds of the nitro tracks aren't memorable... There's a few gems like Koopapolis, Music Park, the Wuhu tracks and the Rainbow Road, but most nitro tracks are just decent without being great in my opinion... Also the retro tracks are mostly fine, my only problem being that they picked too many N64 Mushroom Cup tracks)
5. DS (The only nitro tracks I don't like that much are the 3 first ones of the Mushroom Cup (Figure-8 Circuit is bad, Yoshi Falls is too short and almost feels like a GCN Baby Park, Cheep-Cheep Beach feels a little bit meh) but apart from that all of the other nitro tracks are all really great and unique. The retro tracks are meh but it's the first Mario Kart with retro tracks so what would you expect...)
4. Wii U (I mean, the graphics are great... But the tracks feel too easy compared to older MK games? There's no half-pipes anymore, no wheelies, gliders aren't as interesting as in MK7... That's why, despite the great graphics, I'm putting the OG MK8 so low)
3. GCN (All tracks are great or have something unique that makes them feel special... Too bad there's only 16 tracks in the entire game, if there were more I would've put the game in second place)
2. Wii (Lots of memorable great nitro tracks and most retro tracks are pretty good)
1. NS (Much more larger selection of tracks than any other console MK game (especially with BCP) along with high-quality graphics is the only reason I'm putting MK8DX first)
Unranked: Mario Kart Tour because I've never played it
8. N64 (I dislike most of MK64's tracks, there's a few great ones like the Bowser's Castle, the Rainbow Road or the Wario Stadium, bust most are meh in my opinion)

If that's the case you're playing MKSC on 50cc

SNES. Nintendo Never Makes the Tracks Better, TRASH! Despite Being the First.
N64. It's Good. N64 Rainbow Road is Fun Despite it's Lenght. Most are Good.
GBA. All Are Fun. Except in the TOUR/NS Version.
GCN. My Fav Game, All are Amazing. Wario Colosseum especially!
DS. Haven't Played it Much. But All the Courses are Fun, Except Yoshi Falls, That one is Boring.
Wii. Most of Them are Hard. But are Well Made. I Love Toad's Factory!
3DS. Rarely Played It, but from What My Brother Told Me, All the Courses are Great.
Wii U. I Love Them All.
NS. Some of the New BCP Courses are Boring, Like Sky High Sundae.
TOUR. The Courses are Too Confusing Like N64 Town. Amsterdam Drift is one of the only Good ones in My OP.

I'm not gonna spend too long on this, but those are all Tour tracks. That's what they're listed as in the files of both games.
