What retro tracks do you think should be in the official MK9?

Toad’s Factory, either DS or GCN Rainbow Road, and N64 Wario Stadium or GCN Wario Coliseum, at least two MK8 tracks and probably a Tour RMX track are necessities. Possibly 3DS Bowser’s Castle or Shy Guy Bazaar, and maybe even SNES Koopa Beach 1 too.

EVERY TRACK OF EVERY MK GAMES!!!

I still feel that next game will be a soft reboot, but if not I've got my predictions set.

First off, 4 cups of retros will not be enough after BCP, it needs to be atleast 6

For the tracks

SNES: Koopa Beach 1/2, Choco Island 1/2, Vanilla Lake 1/2, Mario Circuit 4, Ghost Valley 1/2/3

Either way any of these would be getting the BC3 remake so it'd be better.

N64: Frappe Snowland, Mario Raceway, Banshee Boardwalk

Wii completely killed off everything for this game.

GBA: Cheep Cheep Island, Yoshi Desert, Peach/Luigi Circuit, GBA Bowser Castle 2/3/4, Lakeside Park, Broken Pier, Rainbow Road

Tour had so many good remakes and they picked Sunset Wilds & Sky Garden

GCN: Mushroom Bridge/City, Peach Beach, Dino Dino Jungle, Rainbow Road

All of these(besides Dino Dino) have good cases, & if Peach Beach got updated like Waluigi Stadium & Peach Gardens, then it might cook

DS: Delfino Square, Luigi's Mansion, Airship Fortress, Bowser's Castle

This time 7 killed the game off. Could be anything really(except Figure 8/Falls)

Wii: Toad Factory, Mario Circuit, Dry Dry Ruins(okay this one is peak), Bowser Castle

Literally it for the game, talk about milked, meanwhile we have

7: Daisy Hills, Shy Guy Bazaar, Cheep Cheep Lagoon, Wario Shipyard, Bowser's Castle, Mario Circuit

It's kinda nuts how much they could pull from this game. Best Mario Circuit in the series, a track cut from Mario Kart 8(Shy Guy Bazaar), objectively best Bowser Castle in the series, Wario Shipyard, 2 Mushroom Cup tracks are pretty good, and they bring back...Toad Circuit? Rainbow Road? Atleast we got the base 8 courses & Rock Rock, but they dropped the ball with their best entry's(track-wise) representation, which is especially crazy when you realize how many retros from 7 were brought back(atleast 2 in every Wave except 4 & 6; Wave 2 & 3 have 3 retro tracks EACH). Heck, Tour was built off of 7's engine. It's literally THE Mario kart. And yet they keep sucking off Wii for no reason...anyway, they need to do 7 justice(again, the base 8 tracks were prety good)

WiiU: Hopefully Switch 3 isn't 10+ years away or we'll literally have been playing on these courses for 20 years

Could be anything but I'm gonna pick one from each cup

Thwomp Ruins, Twisted Mansion, Electrodrome, Cloudtop Cruise, Dragon Driftway, Wild Woods, Ice Ice Outpost(ew), Super Bell Subway

Tour:

Piranha Plant Pipeline

Ideally also RMXs would be on the table, but I genuinely do think the era of the series that we've been playing for the last 20 years is over(DS is when retros were first added aside from Super Circuits....whatever you wanna call that. Reimaginings? Not really) They aren't enough tracks for any more than one last game in this style, & the BCP credits do give me that "On to the next one!" Vibe. Combine that with nearly every other Nintendo series doing the same thing on Switch, & I dunno. I'm 90% positive that the next era is coming: if not, see you all in MK9/10 online where ppl pick SNES MC1 & nothing else.

EDIT: Unironically, they could re-release some of the Tour tracks & I'd be completely alright with it, the cities were easily the best part of the BCP(as someone who has played Wii & 7 to death & is bored of seeing Coconut Mall & Waluigi Pinball over & over and over)

Like, Ninja Hideaway carried Wave 1, Sydney carried Wave 2. The Tour tracks are good, some of the best in the series.

Would kill replayablity for the next Mario Kart game unless there will be none after that

But on the other hand for MK9, the characters played must be unlocked, on MK8 it's boring, you have them right away at the start.

Middest options

Shell Cup:
3DS Daisy Hills, GBA Cheep Cheep Island, DS Delfino Square, GBA Sunset Wilds

Banana Cup:
SNES Mario Circuit 4, N64 Wario Stadium, GBA Lakeside Park, Wii U Cloudtop Cruise

Leaf Cup:
Wii Dry Dry Ruins, Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline, GBA Bowser Castle 4, Wii U Mount Wario

Lightning Cup:
DS Airship Fortress, Wii U Big Blue, GCN Bowser Castle, DS Rainbow Road

The GBA tracks will be their Tour versions

There is NO reason for two cups to have two tracks from the same game.

Yeah but I wanted to bring back 4 GBA tracks, and who the hell wants a GBA track bogging up the Lightning Cup

Sunset Wilds AGAIN?! Why
Yoshi Desert is right there
(Also only 1 3DS track but 3 DS tracks, 2 in the same cup after we already got 4 DS in 8 & 7 & Wii)

Me. We should have already remixed every track so far, but instead each game has at least one repeated retro track

I'm hoping for Toad's factory and Airship Fortress, I would also love Cheese Land to return but it probably won't.

Shell Cup: DS Figure 8 Circuit(I’m sorry but we don’t have a lot of DS options left..) Wii U Sweet Sweet Canyon(Good track), SNES Bowser Castle 1(It’s not the most exciting track but we probably need a 2D BC and this is the simplest one left), 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar(robbed from MK

Banana Cup: Wii Toads Factory(The most wanted retro track in MK9 by far, and I agree with the community on that opinion), Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline(Fun and very unique, wouldn’t be surprised to see it return with the other Tour nitros returning in the BCP) GBA Broken Pier(It’s not very good but we need a spooky track), SNES Vanilla Lake 1(Again, not very good but we need a snow track)

Leaf Cup: Wii U Dolphin Shoals(Best water track in the series, change my mind), 3DS Mario Circuit(Doesn’t exactly fit in the Leaf Cup but we need a more advanced circuit), Wii Dry Dry Ruins(It’s a pretty good course and we need a desert track and a 2nd track from MKWii), DS Bowser Castle(It’s fine, the music slaps hard though and we need a more advanced BC and a 2nd DS track)

Lightning Cup: N64 Wario Stadium(Quite possibly my least favorite track in the series but we need it here for varieties sake), GCN Mushroom City(Finally! We get to our only GCN course. And again, it’s probably the most requested retro along with Toads Factory), 3DS Maka Wuhu(We need to follow trends guys), GBA Rainbow Road(Again, I’m following trends here.)

Very unlikely that this would be the end of the series since it sells really really well

Shell Cup  GCN Luigi Circuit  SNES Ghost Valley 1  N64 Frappe Snowland  3DS Wuhu Loop  Banana Cup  WiiU Water park  DS Delfino Square  GBA Cheep Cheep Island  GCN Mushroom City  Leaf Cup N64 Wario Stadium  SNES Mario circuit 4  Wii Toad's Factory  WiiU Wild Woods  Lightning Cup  3DS Wario Shipyard  Wii Dry Dry Ruins  DS Bowser's Castle  GBA Rainbow Road

Best arrangement i’ve seen so far

Yeah so like they basically would never do every previous MK track
