I lost my GCN Mario Circuit map. It’s not in my complete mode creations or the shared circuits. Does anyone have a collab link to share, please?

I was considering making this a separate topic but I'm just going to stick it here.

Here's my quick breakdown of Mario Kart X from what we've seen.

(People are calling it 9 but you'll see why I'm not in a second)

The general stuff that everyone can see will not be getting screenshots, too much time(I'm lazy)

(Also the video I'm using for this is the Gamexplain one)


First things first, right off the bat, there are 24 slots on the starting grid, which implies that races will have 24 players. That alone changes a lot of stuff(item distribution, coin count(if coins are in, that is, bullet bill speed probably needs to be higher, etc.) but for now, all we know is that 12 player is no more.

We can see more than 12 characters in the trailer:

The core 6, DK & Wario, Daisy & Rosalina are all in the opening shot.

Waluigi, King Boo, Pauline, Toadette, Shy Guy, Koopa Troopa, Bowser Jr. &...all 5 babies...also appear in subsequent shots(I personally like the babies but I know some people don't)

Moving on to the next thing, we have the course, which appears to be called Mario Bros. Circuit(it's on the starting line)

In addition, it looks like their sticking with the DS logo(it's above the circuit name), which is definitely a point for the retro believers.

The track itself seems to be set in a Wild West styled desert(ya like Cars?) & so far we can see that it seems to be a progression from circuit to highway(& likely back to circuit), with some dirt roads linking the two.

This is neither here nor there, but it is entirely possible that it's a route change kind of course.(the first lap would just be the circuit by itself, we already know that we're seeing the start of lap 2 in the footage becuz no one is on the grid) Obviously the arrow barricade is different, but it might function similarly.(not like those arrows on the city tracks made sense physically anyway)
I think that veering off & on a circuit intermitantly could be cool, but if this is the starting track(which it surely must be), I feel like the first lap would have to be more basic. Unless every course is extra dynamic now.

There's also technically the possiblity that they're devolving the lap based tracks to separate courses like in Tour, I somehow doubt it though.(hopefully not)

All 3 pre-existing vehicle types are back, & it also appears that karts will now do wheelies over boosts,(& likely with Mushrooms) just like the other vehicle types do. They will also go on three wheels will drifting, like ATVs(they already did this underwater).

The core 6, Daisy & DK all sport looks much closer to the SNES/64 era of the series, which is more apparent with some characters than others.

Some people aren't going to be a fan of the artstyle but I dig it, if it's going to be a reboot then go the whole nine yards.

There's some minor stuff as well, like how lot's of the MK8 ads are back, including MKTV, the boost panel got redesigned(it looks like the Wii halfpipes but yellow-orange, also I never noticed that that arrow is the MKDS A in the logo until now), some of the landmarks have that same MK8 naming scheme vibe(Fire Flower Gas Station, Yoshi Diner) & we also get more spectators like Sledge Bros instead of just Yoshis, Toads, & Shy Guys.

Now, onto the juicy things.

(This section will have screenshots)

First & foremost, the track is freaking MASSIVE.

You'd think that dirt road past the gas station would be where you turn off, but there are boosts past that. The highway section alone looks extra long(also the draw distance is insane, the next Zelda is gonna be crazy) This likely means that the base speed will be higher(I mean, 24 players...the track will have to be way wider & stuff to fit them all...so we might get a speed up? Even if it's still called 150cc it should be faster than 8DX's 150)

Wait. What's that yellow thing in the gas station? Enhance.

Okay, "enhance" may be a stretch, but if MK8 track design has taught me anything, that's an item box. They love doing this.(GBA Mario Circuit, Berlin Byways, Singapore Speedway, Squeaky Clean Sprint, probably some more)
So...why does it look like that? I saw some ppl saying it was a Wonder seed, but the leaves aren't there...guess we'll find out in April...

Up next, we have the almost guaranteed return of antigravity(& by extension gliding cuz they're ain't no way we're getting down from THIS without one)


There goes the "maybe they'll use it creatively this time argument"...oh well, atleast the view off the glider will be peak.

Last, but certainly not least, the reason that I am not calling this MK9: the karts.

Observe Mario's vehicle. Look at it. Look at it real hard.

"It's just a kart, what's your point?" Uh huh. Now look at the Standard Wheels. What do you see, friendo? Compare it to Mario Kart 8. Look how toy-ish & overly smooth it is. Look at how it isn't getting sandy like in 8, I mean this is probably beta so it isn't there yet, but still(which was a really cool detail, actually). We've seen tires like those before, haven't we?

If it was a sequel to 8, why is everything so cartoony? Unless...it isn't a sequel to 8. Perhaps there was a game in between there...

And that's all I will say.

On a side note, Toad is driving a Tiny Titan(in his color from Wii, iirc) so some classic karts will be making a return


And that's all we've got for now!

I'm still confident that this is a new era & that the old courses will never be seen again. Like, look at the dynamics of this course. Assuming this is the starting course...almost every retro ever would be so mid if this is the beginner course!(actually it might be Flower Cup cuz that's where Mario Circuit usually goes...& then...if we have a Mario Bros Circuit, we won't have a Mario or Luigi Circuit...what would the first track be???)

Either way, regardless of whether you like the character designs or not, if you think it looks too close to MK8 graphically(you'd be wrong), or if you're somehow not interested in this at all(what?), the future is coming, & I look forward to karting with you all come this winter on some new courses in a new physics engine, with some good ass music.

End of breakdown.(until the next trailer, anyway, I highly doubt that we don't get another teaser in March before the direct in April)

Post your thoughts on this info down below!

I kinda vibe with it, the arcade design makes a lil' sense, he doesn't have an SNES/64 design to go back to like everyone else, he was already there.

It's kind of crazy to think about how no one else has changed since Gamecube too, won't matter though bc heavies will suck & no one will play him

You can definitely ride a bike on a dress, but your probably right, it might just be very early.

Also the bike suits were awful imho, I'm glad Peachette only got  some boots.

i just noticed something.....

better question how do i download it

My cuddly toy Mario is happy

Unfortunately I have to Discontinue all of My Creations because My School blocked the Website I use to upload the Courses. Every Course I ever made has been Affected from this. The Courses will work for you but not for me. It's hard to make a Track without an Image.

I hate to do this but Mario Kart Remastered and VeggieKart PC has come to an End.
