Forums - Nintendo - Mario Kart 8's N64 Rainbow Road is a slap in the face for fans of the original! <(X_O)>

Royal Raceway and Yoshi Valley are pretty good tracks, they were among the best of MK64. Royal Raceway also has that huge ramp that makes it perfectly suited for a hangglider section. Rainbow Road was the biggest stinker, but that was fixed. That makes Toad's Turnpike the worst of the bunch.

Fine. But, that doesn't change the fact that there are several other (better) courses from other (better) Mario Kart games that could've gotten the Retro treatment. I'll be okay with it though as they do seem upgraded exponentially.

Nope. First off the original was good, long enough for going from last to first or from first to last.
Secondly, the new one is terrible. Aside from the look, the design is boring just filled with gimmicks and even worse, short.

Finally Toad Turnspike is one of the best tracks ever in Mario Kart history. Maybe my friends and parents were not enough skilled to enjoy crashing with the cars, especially in extra mode.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

While I do agree its not the best rainbow road, the revised version still looks epic imo

Looks like somebody reported my thread and the mod's response was to add two more Kirbys to my thread title.


people are so sentimental these days. I think you can't be reported just for telling the truth

Please...Please...tell us Rol, what are your first impressions of the game so far?

After playing the demo for an hour I changed my mind and gave my demo play a 9.5/10. A number I totally pulled out of the air. But it was a much better experience this time.

I will play some more before I say more. 50cc doesn't give the full picture.

Looks like somebody reported my thread and the mod's response was to add two more Kirbys to my thread title.

Gee... I wonder who did it!

I always just liked the music in the original N64 track. I like the changes they've made from what I've seen, but I would prefer if it was at least 2 laps. I never minded the original track length (with 3 laps) because it gave me more time to enjoy the music. :p
