As probably unlikely as it is I hope I can join the next season

I like Diddy the most

I’d say it’s this:

Acorn Cup:
- Tour Madrid Drive
- SNES Bowser Castle 3
- GCN Mushroom Bridge or Wii Daisy Circuit
- Piranha Plant Pipeline

Spiny Cup:
- Tour Rome Avanti
- GCN Dino Dino Jungle
- Piranha Plant Cove
- Wii Rainbow Road or Daisy Circuit

There is a NON-ZERO chance that Daisy Circuit is Cnsw_68. Though it would be really funny to see that.

That take on MB being better than DC is very controversial by now, but I still agree with you

Been here since 31 May in 2020, my first and best year in the Mario fandom.

I recently had 52 doses of welsh coal and I never felt better

People when you put Mushroom Bridge in your predictions before Moonview Highway was revealed:

Nothing happens

People when you put Mushroom Bridge in your predictions after Moonview Highway was revealed:

Overwhelming backlash

People when you put Mushroom Bridge in your predictions after Daisy Circuit was revealed:

Instant death

Yeah. I just hope Mushroom Bridge shows up in Wave 6. If it DID get replaced, I really hope it's Airship Fortress. I don't want to see another Wii track (besides the one that's inevitably going to be in Wave 6).

Ok, so:

Acorn Cup:
- Tour Madrid Drive
- GCN Mushroom Bridge
- SNES Bowser Castle 3
- Piranha Plant Pipeline

Spiny Cup:
- Tour Rome Avanti
- GCN Dino Dino Jungle
- Piranha Plant Cove
- Wii Rainbow Road

SNES: Bowser's Castle
N64: Staff Roll
GBA: Lakeside Park
GCN: Mushroom Bridge/City
DS: Figure-8/Mario Circuit
Wii: Wario's Gold Mine
3DS: DK Jungle
Arcade games: Kingdom Way
Wii-U: Shy Guy Falls
Tour: Bangkok Rush

I *L O V E D* watching Dinosaur Train when I was young. Maybe a bit of Nick Jr. here and there, but overall, Dinosaur Train was my go-to childhood show.

It’s so good (at least in my eyes) that I still love it to this day (not in a “I still watch it” way)

This is truly a wowie zowie moment

Here's my predictions:

Acorn Cup:
- Tour Madrid Drive
- GCN Mushroom Bridge
- SNES Bowser Castle 3
- Piranha Plant Pipeline

Spiny Cup:
- Tour Rome Avanti
- GCN Dino Dino Jungle or DK Mountain
- Piranha Plant Cove
- Wii Rainbow Road or Dry Dry Ruins

Characters: Diddy Kong, Pauline

Mushroom Bridge being in Wave 6 has got to be one of the most controversial subjects in the fandom as of now. Literally never before have I seen a course cause so much debate. Many people think it's still coming, others think it was axed. Personally, I still think Mushroom Bridge is spared. I'm gonna do down three counterarguments about MB and explain why I think they don't make sense, and then predict what course could fill in its spot if Mushroom Bridge DOES actually get replaced.

1. "Mushroom Bridge is too simple for Wave 6."
This is the most common argument against Mushroom Bridge. Based on the course selection, there doesn't seem to be a consistent difficulty pattern.

Ninja Hideaway, one of the hardest courses in the DLC, was released as part of the FIRST WAVE. You know, the wave with Toad Circuit, Tokyo Blur, and Sky Garden? Riverside Park is a very easy course yet it was included in Wave 4 and was ALWAYS meant for Wave 4. The same can be said for Sunset Wilds in Wave 5, and to an extent, Moonview Highway ( although that one was meant for Wave 6 ).

Basically, just because Mushroom Bridge is an easy course doesn't necessarily mean it can't be in Wave 6. Plus, SNES Bowser Castle 3 could ALSO be an easy course. There is a non-zero chance that the remaining Wii track could be Daisy Circuit.

2. "There are already enough traffic courses in the DLC."
This one makes the least sense to me. In a DLC with 48 courses, how many are traffic themed?

...three.

So what people are saying is, that while 14 tracks coming from the same game ( 21 if counting the """nitros""" ) is fine, a fourth traffic course is apparently overkill? That's some really flawed logic in my eyes. Mushroom Bridge, if it was included, still wouldn't result in an abundance of traffic courses.

3. "Mushroom Bridge is too similar to Shroom Ridge/Moonview Highway."
This is the most plausible argument, but it still doesn't make sense to me. For one, we have Moonview Highway, New York Minute, and Toad's Turnpike all in the same game. I feel like Nintendo only cares about courses in the same wave clashing with eachother, not the DLC in general.

Another thing is that, between Shroom Ridge, Moonview Highway, and Mushroom Bridge, MB is the only one of the three to have:

- Mushroom Cars
- Wiggler Wagons
- Two tunnels
- A drivable sidewalk
- A song that's shared with another course
- Drivable bridge rails
- Houses ( buildings don't count )
- A starting line made of bricks
- The final straightaway to be preceded by a left turn
- The classic Mario Kart logo on the starting line
- Visible islands in the distance
- And possibly more.

So while Mushroom Bridge is similar to those tracks in some ways, it's still distinct enough to be its own track.

And that's why I think Mushroom Bridge, the GCN course originally meant for Wave 5, wasn't removed and instead moved into Wave 6, as the second course of the Acorn Cup.

And if the course WAS replaced, my bets are going on Airship Fortress. I don't want 2 more Wii tracks again ( Fun fact, Mario Kart Wii is actually my second least favorite entry in the series, behind Mario Kart 64 ).

What are your thoughts?

This isn’t really a song that plays on a track but my favorite is Mario Kart 64’s credits theme. Quite possibly my favorite credits theme in the series and the entire Mario franchise

When I first played Yoshi Desert and saw its minimap, I thought they removed an entire u-turn

I guess it was just done to make it and Sunset Wilds more distinct from eachother

To me, the worst ones are any of the SNES courses, except for Bowser Castle 3, which is IMO the only good SNES track remake in the series

My predictions are:

Acorn Cup:
- Tour "Mobmd"
- GCN Mushroom Bridge
- SNES Bowser Castle 3
- Piranha Plant Pipeline

Spiny Cup:
- Tour Rome Avanti
- GCN Dino Dino Jungle
- Piranha Plant Cove
- Wii Rainbow Road or Wii Dry Dry Ruins

Characters: Diddy Kong, Pauline

Release Date: Mid-November

GBA Bowser's Castle 4, but with a Dark Star/Dark Bowser palette >:]

I know, it sounds weird, but it was the only color palette I could put on the course without making it look ugly

(This is the last remake of mine i'll talk about)

Boo Lake. I traced out Tour's minimap (Yes I drew it myself), colored it, added some Boos all over the place, made the underwater part look like it's underwater, gave it Tour's remix, and voila! My own remake of Boo Lake! Now it isn't a 1:1 copy of the original!
