Hi guys, I was wondering what your 5 favorite and 5 most disappointing new tracks are, including the DLC. Remember: retro tracks don't count.

I don't care much for Sweet Sweet Canyon (correct title?) or Bowser's Castle but very happy with all other tracks

Some retro are the most disappointing to me, but if retro doesn't count, I'll go with Ice Ice outpost and Dragon Driftaway. I don't care for them one bit. Ice Ice Outpost is mediocre and Dragon Driftaway is just boring, sadly

Nice list but uhm... I was wondering about your thoughts on the new tracks. I see a lot of retro tracks in both lists.

Noticing playing online that Samus is the most popular amiibo racing suit. That will change once Captain Falcon amiibo arrives.

Awesome 5

Sunshine Airport
Shy Guy Falls
Mount Wario
Electrodrome
Cloudtop Cruise

Dissapointing 5

Rainbow Road
Twisted Mansion
Toad Harbour
No other ones that dissapointed me

ON AN OTHER NOTE

The DLC is awesome...If I had to rate the tracks in order it would be: (retro and new)

1. Mute City
2. Ice Ice Outpost
3. Hyrule Circuit
4. Warios Gold Mine
5. Excitebike Arena
6. Dragon Driftway
7. Yoshis Circuit
8. Rainbow Road (Yes, its fun but its not as fun as the other tracks)

The Rainbow Roads in this game are really dissapointing....I guess it was time to put the spotlight on other tracks.

Yoshi

Now that I think about it, I'm half expecting Waluigi Pinball to be in the next DLC pack, only because the music is already there.

Formally called brewsky before becoming the lovable, adorable Yoshi.

The DLC 1 is available on Metacritic. Kind of strange in a way, since the main game is required to run the DLC. But it has one of the funniest user reviews I've seen (giving the DLC1 the score 0/10):

"This downloadable content is pretty bad because it adds zero content and it costs 120 dollars, twice the price of the original game, you should not buy it, Nintendo just thinks their fans are cash machines ready to buy any thing they throw at them no matter how bad it is."

What did I just read

I will update this when Half Life 3 arrives. [Started 17/11/2015]

Apparently, the 3.0.0 update also modified the light players. They are not pushed off the tracks (during collisions with heavier characters) as easily as they were before.

The airport is actually my favorite track. I go back and forth, but definitely it's up there. I also like Excitebike, simply for the mayhem.

On the other hand, I hate Hyrule Circuit and Dry Bones Dunes. Hyrule was disappointing because I'm such a huge Zelda fan ... I do like that it's rupees instead of coins, and Deku Babas instead of Piranha Plants, but the track is just "meh" ...

As far as the DLC, Mute City is my favorite. I suck at it, but it's just fun.

I have to say out of the original tracks my favorite is Mount Wario.

My least favorite is the Dolphin one and the Candy one which there names elude me right now.

Out of the DLC my favorites are the Hyrule course and the Excite Bike one.
