I think the Cosmic Highways are ment to be intermissions in the first place

No, actually.

The concept for Cosmic Highway predates Mario Kart World's announcement by a few weeks.

Now I wouldn't say, "I came up with intermission courses two weeks before Nintendo did!" because in the OG Cosmic Highway, you raced around the highway instead of on the highway.

You'd go in a circle around the highway and planets, maybe jumping over it from a nearby asteroid, but it would be nothing like what we have now.

When I saw the Nintendo Direct, I thought it would be neat to reference the new game, so I just tweaked how Cosmic Highway and Rainbow Road worked.

Your concept seems like it’d be better than what they are now. You could’ve fit those things into the newer, more intermission-esk design

That is very good to know. Can't wait to see your intermission course!

Can we please not fight? This topic was made to share stuff, not argue about it.

Lol I forgot to mention that you would've been in a spaceship instead of a kart.

It would be awkward to drive in empty space

If we have a clean transition, then sure. But we can't just place 16 bit textures right off and call it a day. More and more bits slowly get added down the route.
