Toad Harbor and Bowser's Castle are my favs because of the music and level designs, but mostly the music!

The music's excellent, but tunes can't save a boring track from being boring. GBA Mario Circuit has one of the coolest songs in the game, but it's still dead last in most exciting courses for me. It CAN enhance an already cool course and edge it out in ties (See: Cloudtop Cruise edging Sweet Sweet Canyon) but it can't save a bad course.
