Topic: In a theoretical third DLC pack for Mario Kart 8, what tracks would you like to see?

Bring back Daisy's Cruise!

I Really want a Double Dash Mode as an extra mode with Diddy Kong

1) Boo Cup with E. Gadd and King Boo as unlockable characters and a Luigi's mansion race track, poison swamp race track, NSMBW galaxy track, a retro ghost house track.
2) Ice Flower Cup with Ice-power Luigi as a character, fire/ice mountain level, a NSMB2/Gold level filled with rainbows and coins, Wario Coliseum N64 remake, maybe a vanilla lake remake?
3) A proper multiplayer/Online battle mode with free-roam levels
4) All for 8.99

I'd want to see HD zero gravity versions of DK Mountain and Moonview Drive. I want to drive and jump an erupting volcano stat.

Not to mention how cool zero gravity could be for the city portion of this course. It could be done so you'd drive up, through, and between buildings in the loop. Could be real pretty.

Here is another idea,
Mario Kart X Earthbound

Characters : Ness, Bowser JR, Diddy Kong
Karts : Runaway Bus, flame rider, Ness's bike, Barrel Train
Mr Saturn cup Courses:
3DS Wuhu Island
Wii DK summit
City/Metro course based on downtown toad harbor
Onett Circuit
Ice flower cup courses:
SNES Vanilla lake 1
Course based on Donkey kong country 2
DS Airship fortress
GCN Rainbow Road

Characters:

Bowser Jr.
Diddy Kong
Birdo

Two Cups:
4 new tracks(I'd like one based off DKC Tropical Freeze)
4 Retro:
Wario Stadium N64
DK Mountain GCN
Rosalina's Ice World MK7
Bowser's Castle Wii or GCN(I feel like MK8 needs another Bowser's Castle)

Vehicle Parts:
Bumble V from MK7
Swooper Glider from MK7
Luigi's Poltergeist from MKDS

• other new parts

Thank goodness someone said Vanilla Lake
Wuhu Loop & Maka WuHu are good ones though, I loved them.

My idea is for twenty retro courses NOT from the Mario Kart series. Each of these courses would reuse the graphics of existing courses from Mario Kart 8 to cut down on cost and development time giving us a fifth course in each new cup. Mute City and Big Blue have their MK8 course music while other courses get new updated music of their original music.

JACK CUP (N64 F-Zero X)
Mute City — Mute City
Silence — SNES Rainbow Road
Sand Ocean — Bone Dry Ruins
Devil's Forest — Wild Woods
Big Blue — Big Blue

NOVICE CLASS CUP (SNES Stunt Race FX)
Cotton Farm — Moo Moo Meadows
Easy Ride — Yoshi Circuit
Aqua Tunnel — Water Park
Sunset Valley — Wario's Gold Mine
Night Owl — Neo Bowser City

The following two Cups are technically retro courses but are also considered completely new courses. They come from Game Boy F-1 Race. The course layout is the same as in the Game Boy original but the track twists and turns with the graphics of the Wii U courses as if they were new courses. They retain the music from the original Wii U course the graphics came from instead of getting new music. I've tried to match an appropriate existing course to each country.

F-1 RACE CUP A
Australia — Shy Guy Falls
Canada — Mount Wario
USA — Toad's Turnpike
Portugal — Toad Harbor
Japan — Mario Kart Stadium

F-1 RACE CUP B
Brazil — DK Jungle
USSR — Sherbet Land
India — Sunshine Airport
Egypt — Dry Dry Desert
??? — ???

I know some people won't like the idea of reusing graphics but I emphasise the intention was to halve the costs and waiting time. Pit from Kid Icarus and Samus would be among the new characters, just because they both cameoed in F-1 Race.

To think of how different the GB courses could be; this NES course could almost have been updated into GCN Baby Park.

Honestly why not a proper battle mode DLC with 6 new characters (3 Veterans and 3 Newcomers).

For a final DLC pack, for original candidates based off classic Nintendo properties, I'd select Metroid, Star Fox, Wave Race, and Stunt Race FX for themed courses.

For the obligatory recycling of an already selected retro track, I'd nominate Coconut Mall to be revisited for a 2nd time.

And for the remaining, I'd go with retro selections of Sunset Wilds (The only MK course with a day/night transition, and staying with the GBA theme already seen) and Mushroom City (GameCube, another popular DLC choice so far to pick from), with a final original track that's set on a tropical island with a lot of underwater segments.

I was walking around my local zoo the other day and found myself thinking, "This would make a great Mario Kart circuit", so I'd like to see a zoo circuit please.

Although I've already mentioned the ones I want, I think the concept of pack 3 being 8 tracks and pack 4 being 8 battle arenas would also make sense with the combination of all 56 courses meaning every previous game has had 4 tracks in MK8.

Boo Cup
SNES Ghost Valley 3
DS Airship Fortress
Wii DK's Snowboard Cross
Port Town

Arwing Cup
SNES Vanilla Lake 2
GBA Bowser Castle 4
Kirby Air Ride track
Star Fox track

I really thought they were going to bring back Waluigi Pinball in the 2nd DLC pack. Seems like a missed opportunity.

I'd like to see more characters, too. I know it's been said before, but why do we have all these baby characters when characters such as Birdo, Diddy, and Bowser Jr. are absent? I'd also like to see King Boo, Professor E. Gadd, and maybe even Boshi if they want to throw in a more esoteric reference.

Pretty sure most of the SMRPG characters are owned by Square Enix.

Airship Fortress would be a great one to bring back but going with the trend, they're most likely going to choose a completely new retro track or one that was in Mario Kart DS.

Mario Kart Wii was my first ever MK (one of my first ever GAMES period) so I do have a little bias towards it. I'd love to see Toad's Factory as that'd be amazing with anti-gravity. Also Splatoon, Star Fox, and Pikmin courses and maybe a carnival as a new one.

And if we go ahead and say there will be two more packs, the characters should be Fox, Inkling, Olimar, Bowser Jr., Diddy Kong, and Nabbit. Add them and you officially have the best roster in MK history. (MKWii has Bowser Jr. so it's still the best)

sigh But I guess I'd be fine with a battle mode pack with all those characters.

I would like to get a proper battle mode and a tool for creating our own battle arenas.

Are they!? I was unaware. That's too bad.

Before you get your hopes up, nothing has been announced. So it's really a misnomer to be talking about what's "most likely", when as far as we're aware, nothing else is planned.

We haven't even had a hint that suggests otherwise so far, so we can hardly form predictions here. We're all just dreaming as it stands today, forming our own wishlists.

I'd rather have another 3 tracks than any of that. I mean, does anyone ever play battle mode? With friends / family? I always just race in the racing game, battle mode feels so aimless... Ideally they could patch it so you had to keep speeding around the track in opposite directions so as to emphasis battling while still maintaining the appeal of the game; racing.
