I limited myself to just the intro of the track in that video (love the music for that btw ^^) and it looks pretty cool. Like a modernised Rainbow Road. I understand why some people may not like it though but I refuse to see the whole track. Like the Blooper rocket floating in space there.

For those of you who are disappointed about the new Rainbow Road, cheer up. Have some Brawl in the Family.

I actually feel a bit disappointed with the new Rainbow Road. The music isn't nearly as good as the N64 RR in the retro cups and the course seems really short and doesn't seem to have much to it at all.

EDIT: Haha, thanks for that Viridi. I really love BitF.

Another look into Bowser's Castle.

I seriously hope they release a soundtrack for this game. I just love that intro music. <3

Also a quote from Gamexplain
"So the Super Horn CAN appear in first place! Just in time too, as it saved me from a Blue Shell at the finish line."

I agree. Bowser's Castle looks pretty darn sweet. And I suppose we still have the N64 version of Rainbow Road, which looks phenomenal. And it has one of the greatest tunes in gaming remixed with a big band... SO EXCITED.

Hopefully, they're (the super light thing) about as rare as a Green Shell or Banana.

Practically? I'm expecting them to be about as common as a Mushroom (aka plausible to get, but never there when you need it).

As for Bowser's Castle, looks awesome to me.

I can't believe coins will factor in your performance when it comes to stars... -_-
This was in previous Mario Kart games, but now that they're bringing it back, it'll be a whole lot harder to get them.

Is it still random or is there a fixed order now?

This still makes no sense. I know I've said this three times already, but they should really do a shop instead.

I'm confused with this free game promotion. in Terms and conditions it says you get a club Nintendo PIN on screen after buying the game from eshop. But don't you get the star points automatically after buying a downloadable copy, without any PIN?http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Campaigns/Mario-Kart-8-Bonus-Game-Promotion/Terms-Conditions/Terms-Conditions-879237.html
