(important note this is not a collab project every collab project I tried to make recently failed lmao)
For those who don't know, Mario Kart DS was my first video game, and as much as I will always have it in my heart we can all agree that MKDS Retro Tracks sucks
When I say it sucks, it's as much for the selection as for the "remakes" themselves, and that's really one of the biggest flaws of MKDS imo
I just had a possibly interesting idea, asking which tracks everyone here would have liked to see in a "fixed" MKDS Retro Selection, so we can all make our MKDS Retro Selection, and a final track list at the end ^^
Well, I guess you can just list every track you want to see here (like GCN Peach Beach, N64 Toad's Turnpike etc...) or even make a complete track list
Just consider the fact that I'm going to stick to 4 tracks per game, but the order isn't important (like a SNES track can now be the 2nd, 3rd or 4th track of a cup)
Also I know i'm not clear at all so you can ask anything if you have a doubt on something if anyone ask "anything if you have a doubt on something" they'll get a warning ok ? 😈

like mario circuit 1

tbh the MKDS retros are pretty fine to me, but i'd say a few things can be changed
tracks i would remove from the retros are SNES Choco Island 2 and SNES Koopa Beach 2. the ones i doubt are N64 Moo Moo Farm, GBA Peach Circuit, GBA Bowser Castle 2, and GCN Baby Park
now that any track (SNES-GCN) can get a chance be in the selection, i'll set up some candidates.
SNES Bowser Castle 2 and SNES Vanilla Lake 1 were probably hated tracks before 2004 (release of the Nintendo DS) so i felt like bringing them might be upsetting, meaning that SNES Koopa Beach 1 and SNES Ghost Valley 2 were the only ones left.
i just figured that having CPUs stop in N64 Kalimari Desert can be a task, so i decided it shouldn't be in it. there's already 2 car tracks in the game and thought that can be enough, so N64 Toad's Turnpike isnt coming back. although i never had a N64, N64 Mario Raceway felt better than N64 Moo Moo Farm.
Looking back at MKDS' GBA Bowser Castle 2 remake, i thought that i should keep it. GBA Riverside Park felt like something i should bring.
GCN Mario Circuit is in my selection because an unused model of the track was found in the files. (forgot to remove GCN Baby Park)
imo MKDS' retro track ordering would be kept.
