I actually thought it was one of the most polished looking tracks.

Most definitely Electrodrome.

Agreed, really goes to show that aesthetics can matter more than technology. The new tracks definitely seem of higher average quality, graphically speaking, but stuff like Rainbow Road N64 and Electrodrome can still hold their own thanks to great visual design.

It's an awesome track design wise, but yeah it shoulda looked more like actual cheese instead of desert. 

I vote for Cheep Cheep Beach or Dolphin Shoals. The water and lighting effects are just GORGEOUS! Cheep Cheep Beach reminds me of Wind Waker HD but with much better textures (Sunshine should be remade with that lighting), and Dolphin Shoals has that section where you come up out of the water and the rocks are wet and shining and the sax is playing, and ugh...can I just live there? Though to be clear, there's SO MANY tracks in MK8 that are the most beautiful combinations of color, detail, lighting, etc. that I've seen in ANY video game. Really comes down to personal preference of what aesthetics stand out to you the most.

Neo Bowser City.

Best looking would be mario circuit you know the figure 8 course, the course layout is nothing special but the lighting is just insane and peach's castle looks stunning. Yoshi's valley also deserves a mention it looks beautiful in the sunset.

Has always been Dolphin Shoals for me, and even though DLC 2 put up some stiff competition, Dolphin Shoals still take it for me. The water and lighting are insane. Such a gorgeous track.

If we are just going by best looking then rainbow road 64, if picking favourite track its gonna be mount wario

I thought the exact same thing. I was wondering why I didn't see it as an option, until I saw "other". Most to all the tracks on MK8 are gorgeous, but Cloudtop Cruise is immaculate!
