There are better tracks in the DLC but I was never bored when I played it.

The track is so boring and feels like chore to race around. The HD graphics really aren't that impressive and overall is just a waste of my money. They should have just put in another zelda track instead of putting the rainbow road in. I know some people like it, just remember, I have a opinion also. And mines is that this is a boring track that looked like they wanted a quick add in for the DLC. I absolutely hate when people pick it online. It's a boring track. The rest of the DLC tracks were great, but this one sucks. Just my opinion.


There's no way to buy this track by itself so it can't be a waste of money. Also you've repeatedly said it's boring without any explanation. However I do agree it should not have been remade because it had already been redone in MK7 whereas there are still plenty of SNES tracks yet to be retro'd.

I don't love it but I like seeing it in HD. I don't see how it was a waste of time, probably just a weekend job to remaster since they already had a similar version on 3DS.

I like it. Not among my favorite tracks, but also not one of my least favorites.

I like Ice Ice outpost the least in the DLC pack (probably because I suck at it. I always seem to fail at the shortcuts), but it's still ok. There actually are no courses I truly dislike.

For me there is very little separating the first six, but I actively dislike the bottom 2. I could actually put Rainbow Road higher but part of that is likely nostalgia and also because it's probably one of the tracks I win the most consistently.

Strangely I find that there isn't one 'perfect' cup for me. One where all four tracks are awesome, it seems for me that in every single cup there is at least one 'weak' track. Fingers crossed for the next DLC.
