Mario Kart 8 continues the tradition of having new Tracks as well as retro tracks from previous Mario Kart games in the series. Mario Kart 8 features 32 tracks in all, 16 new and 16 returning. Excitebike Arena. I love crossover stuff. Whether it's the odd easter egg, or a full-blown game, I simply love it whenever game worlds collide.

The Top Ten Mario Kart 8 Tracks

1Mount Wario

I really don't understand why people like this track. I like the idea of an Olympic 3-lap track, but people seem to have this track really high on their top 48's. I saw someone in the comments saying this tack is underrated and I can't comprehend that person's logic. This is probably the most loved track in this game, and people are claiming Music Park (Known as Melody Motorway in Europe) is overrated yet they never say anything bad about Mount Wario whatsoever. It's like Maple Treeway and Koopa Cape; it's more of the popularity rather than the track itself. I would love this track if the popularity wasn't as high that it almost exceeds Maple Treeway in popularity. By far the most overrated track of all-time.

It's one of the most popular if not the most popular, but it's an amazing track. So in my opinion, it's actually nicely rated - CheesyNachos

The ost for this track is amazing and it changes depending on where you are on the map

Most of the Mario kart 8 tracks follow a three lap system but this is the course that breaks the rules to lap system. It is like a rally race from point a to point B. I wish more tracks were like this because this is very unique and it should get the top position.

I love this track! It has amazing jump trick ramps! And it has a lot of boosts! HOLY SHOOT YOU EVEN GO IN AND OUT OF A DAM! There's awesome gliding parts and shortcuts! It's so fun! In the end you stop at a stadium and people are cheering for you! HOW COOL IS THAT?

2Big Blue

Definitely my favourite track in the entire game. Awesome music, awesome design, awesome visuals, awesome everything! It's a MASTERPIECE!

Big Blue is the best it is my favorite track in Mario Kart 8 It beats Mount Wario.

Excellent design. The conveyor belts and the water is great. Also, the laps are totally different from each other. It feels like one long track.

Another 1 lap track near the top. I love how you can see the water fall while racing on water. It’s cool that Mario Kart 8 made F-Zero courses. It’s my second favorite in the game and the best DLC track.

3Sunshine Airport

This track is so unique and one of the best new stages. It manages to capture the same fast paced vibes of a real airport - Randomator

Probably my favourite of the original nitro sixteen. Awesome graphics and gorgeous setting. I like the music as well - darthvadern

Sunshine Airport. A track of happiness, happiness and happiness. AND HAPPINESS. I really enjoyed this track because it is fun and happy and fun and happy and FUN AND HAPPY AND FUN. And because this track is based on one of my favourite game, Super Mario Sunshine. (Seriously, where's the sequel for that thing). I have nothing else to say here.

What race takes place in an airport? This one! I love Sunshine Airport. It is my second favorite new race and my favorite in the demo! An airport is such a good idea for a race. No one will think of it!

4Shy Guy Falls

First time I saw this, I was like, HOW DO WE RACE ON THIS?

Shy Guy Falls is ok, but I suggest that you keep it from the 15-20 position. There's one shortcut that's decent but doesn't give you much of an advantage. And it's almost impossible to reach. Going down a waterfall is cool and unique, but there's not much else to offer. If you ask me, this track should switch places with the Bowser's Castle.

Shy guy falls should be 8 not 2

I love shy guys! This track is so fun and unique

5Bowser's Castle

Definitely not. Music, 10/10. Graphics and scenery? Pretty nice. It's so hard to not make mistakes, though, so you'll mostly end up falling in the lava and losing your 1st place streak, either by blue shell knock off or just plain falling off. - Mario_Deluxe

Arguably the second best bowser castle in the series behind Wii bowser castle - Randomator

It's got to be the coolest Bowser's castle ever! Why didn't you put it at the top ten? It would fit very well (although it didn't have any thwomps on this course).

Love this Bowser Castle! It's BADASS!

6Cloudtop Cruise

I LOVE this track! The music is awesome! This reminds me of jack and the beanstalk. You go onto a bowser ship into a lightning cloud which is a great idea and it's just so fun racing through everything on the track

I really enjoyed this track as it made me feel happy and awesome inside. I really love the part where you are on Bowser's airship for a second and then you are in a thunderstorm, the next second. It is really awesome and I love it. I also love it because it is based on my favourite games, Super Mario Galaxy. I also enjoyed the music because bits of it was from Gusty Garden Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy. COOOL!

This race was amazing! It should be 1! I love the shortcut put at the end of the race. I love the music because it is from my favorite mario level ever, champions road!

This track is awesome. The music is awesome. The best track of the Special Cup.

7Electrodrome

Feels like a revamped version of Melody Motorway from Mario Kart 7 - darthvadern

Best course in the game BY FAR. My least favorite track is Mount Wario.. I hate why so many people are obsessed with it. Sunshine Airport comes closest, but this track really has the best design and atmosphere combination.

It's a good course for lots of reason such as the EPIC MUSIC

Why isn't this number 1? Shy guy falls is overrated, this track will be forever loved

8N64 Rainbow Road

Visually stunning and great music. Just wish it was longer because it feels to short - Randomator

I was really really happy that Nintendo bought this back. It bought back a lot of old memories and lot of fun from the memories. I was so excited to play it. I was kinda disappointed that they changed the track to be only 1 lap, but I guess the track would have gone too long (like it used to be), but then again, they could've made it 2 laps.

An instant nostalgia trip. by far the best track on Mario kart 8.

They put this one on the cover of 8 deluxe for a reason. The course is magical. Most Mario kart courses are so crazy with all the items you have to pay attention to. But for some reason, in this one I feel like I can pay attention to everything: the music, the fireworks, the city below. It perfectly captures the essence of this game.

9Twisted Mansion

I love this kinda haunted freaky stuff. Twisted Mansion is my dream home, probably because I'm a ghost..

This is the best of the flower cup. Play it once and you will never forget it.

This is a way better course than mount wario

Just beats all of the tracks

10GBA Ribbon Road

One of the best retro tracks in the game tied with GBA Cheese Land - darthvadern

My favorite track from super circuit. It took Nintendo forever, but I was so happy to finally see my favorite GBA stage remade, and by god what an update it got! Easily my favorite retro track now and along with mt wario is my favorite track in the game.

Why is this 26 it is clearly the best Mario Kart track ever

It feels like a new stage completely - Randomator

The Newcomers

The Contenders

11Wild Woods

Well if your telling me that Mount Wario is better than this, I don't think you're the type of gamer that could handle suspense. Sad, but true. In other words, this is the greatest track of all time.

Great forest track and second best of the mario-related dlc tracks - darthvadern

Don't vote on this list unless you own the game's dlc - the dlc offers some of the best tracks in the game. Wild Woods is underrated - only number 14? It should be at least in the top 5. This is just a magical place, with a treetop village of Shy Guys and an awesome water slide! This track also kinda reminds me of some kind of village like the Kokhiri Forrest from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or the Ewok village from Star Wars Return of The Jedi! Best track in the game, and possibly the best Mario Kart track period!

Love this course!

12Toad Harbor

It’s so beautiful and bursting with color. This track is beautiful - Randomator

I like this track! You can do a ramp boost onto a boat! It's a track based off of New York City! There's even a a thing that lets you get on the walls! There's even a way at the end with a boost!

I love this track. It's beautiful and reminds me of Delfino Square/Plaza.

BEST TRACK EVER! Love the city escape feel.

13Rainbow Road

What this is the worst Rainbow Road I've ever played. Only cool part is the two paths crossing each other. Mario Kart 9's Rainbow Road had better be better than this garbage. - LimePepsi25

I like this track for its uniqueness. It's not magical like the other rainbow roads and has a mechanical space station vibe, but that doesn't mean it's boring. Having the same magical theme with no change can get boring and I like its features. You shouldn't diss it for being space station themed. It's music is great, and I think it should be more appreciated.

A lot of people hate the Rainbow Road of Mario Kart 8, but I don't understand why. This track is cool. I know it's not better than the Mario Kart 7 version, it doesn't mean you have to hate on this track! Anyway, I loved this track and I adore it. I really love the shortcut where you can switch lanes, that is flippin' awesome. I really enjoy it and I hope Rainbow Road can get better in Mario Kart 9 (and people enjoy it this time).

I hate this track, why? It's not a rainbow road, it's a bunch of high-technical metal roads and too modern space-stations that are painted in rainbow colors! The soundtrack was amazing, but the soundtrack rarely makes a track really good unless the track already is good. - darthvadern

14Mute City

This is the best track! It has awesome music! It has a lot of speed boosts (and gravity boosts) The sides of the track give you coins! There's even a shortcut at the end! It's just plain awesome sauce.

Not as good as big blue - Randomator

It is a little easy

Big Blue is better - darthvadern

15Thwomp Ruins

Who would have thought that thwomps would get a Mario Kart track and a good one at that? - Randomator

When I saw the trailer of this track, I thought this track would be in the Flower Cup, but I was wrong, it was in the Mushroom Cup, and oh boy, it was awesome! I really enjoyed this track a lot and made me really happy. Because of this track and Mario Kart Stadium, I like Mushroom Cup better than Flower Cup now. This track is cool.

Certainly one of the more interesting tracks in the game - darthvadern

163DS Music Park

I love how in one forum where they had to say which was their least favorite track and most people chose this track, yet people are calling Mount Wario underrated (impossible to be underrated since it's the most loved track in the game, up there with Big Blue) over a single comment of hate about Mount Wario. Honestly, I love Music Park more even if some people find this track boring and overrated. My favorite Mk8 track, and my second favorite of all time (my all-time favorite is Coconut Mall, a more loved and balanced track as far as ratings go). Also, what was there to even fix about it? their criticism is as bad as Coconut Mall's Mii car argument (the mii cars are the only obstacle in the course so it makes no sense to remove them). Sorry for going slightly off topic.

Although I think the original was better mainly because it looked better, it's still excellent here! - darthvadern

People claim to hate this remake, just because it hasn't changed at all from the original. But here's my response: Don't fix what isn't broken.

Melody Motorway brings music and motorways together. Great unique track. I liked it more in Mario kart 8

17Super Bell Subway

Honest speaking this is my favourite track in the entire game! I love trains and subways and a track centered around it was just too much for me to not like it - darthvadern

I love when Nintendo makes courses like this. When they’re replicas of real life places it’s so cool - Randomator

18DS Tick Tock Clock

Amazing track but slightly overrated - Randomator

Much better than the original - darthvadern

Shown twice. - Tyler730

I am absolutely offended that my favorite track in the game is in last place. It’s one of the most visually stunning tracks in the entire game, with mechanics that are extremely fun to use. It also has one of the best songs in all of Mario Kart’s history! - FirelordZuko

19Dragon Driftway

One of the worst - darthvadern

This is the part 15 of the Vambrace: Cold Soul Walkthrough and Guide, called: Part 16 - the End of the Game. Press on the video twice to open it! Vambrace: cold soul perk points. There are total 10 classes in Vambrace: Cold Soul. Additionally, the main protagonist is a unique character that you always have in your party. She has her own skills and therefore she is counted as a separate class in this guide.

I hate this track on 200cc.

It’s okay but 200cc is a nightmare on this stage - Randomator

20Hyrule Circuit

BEST music EVER! The Master-Sword is also amazing!

One of the best from the first DLC pack - darthvadern

It’s pretty cool yet simple - Randomator

21N64 Yoshi Valley

Way better than the original although we can see what place we’re in now which kinda makes it less fun in a way - Randomator

I was surprised that this was on my list. I really hated Yoshi Valley on Mario Kart 64 (probably because I was sour loser then and hated my cousin for beating me every single time on that track). laugh out loud. But in this game, I love it. I love how they changed the fastest route (my cousin took the old fast route and I beat him). This track was wonderful and bought back a lot of memories.

Much better than original as you don't fall for 9 hours when you fall off - darthvadern

I can't believe this is #20. It should be in the top 5. Nothing really stands out besides the giant yoshi egg, but the maze feel is amazing. It's still fun to try different paths to take!

22Dolphin Shoals

I love this course I do not know why everyone hates this awesome course Its hard though and the music rocks it's my favorite course of all time

This is a wonderful Mario Kart track. It has awesome sax music plus an awesome track design and you can ride on an eel. It's just's amazing

This one Rocks and the music is way better than DS Tick Tock Clocks

I love Dolphin Shoals. It stars underwater. This is an epic swim in the sea

233DS Piranha Plant Slide

Best map overall
I love the finishing shortcut, it looks small but it's actually really good

In Mario Kart 7:
Music Park > Piranha Plant Slide
In Mario Kart 8:
Piranha Plant Slide > Music Park - darthvadern

I feel bad for the course. It was a favorite in 7 but in 8 in is bottom of the barrel. I was stoked back in e3 2013 when I saw this in the Mario Kart 8 trailer. An amazing course and is my favorite course in Mario Kart history.

I love this course

24GCN Sherbert Land

Rubbish Track, out of all of the 48 tracks in the game, this is 47th. - greenshyguy

This is the best track! It has all sorts of cool shortcuts!

I love this course! Why is it so low?

Improvment on the bad original, very awesome graphics - darthvadern

25Wii Grumble Volcano

Like I already told you, Mario Kart Wii is my favourite Mario Kart game. It is so awesome, I really enjoyed this track because this actually was my favourite track in the game after Koopa Cape. This track is just cool. I enjoy how they have made this track more beautiful and more awesome.

Despite that the only gameplay change is the addition of a gliding ramp, the graphical upgrade, as with every retro track in this game, is stunning. The eruptions of the volcanoes is just plain epic.

Excellent retro track! Even better than original - darthvadern

wii bias talkin here

26Excitebike Arena

Pretty boring honestly. Just a giant baby park with ramps and that’s it - Randomator

I like this course its one of my favorites.

This one's boring - darthvadern

This course is awesome

27Ice Ice Outpost

The best ice course in the series, this deserves number 1! It's so cool and the music is just badass!

Why didn't you put this course on number 1? This track is awesome!

This track sucks. But that's okay IYRO

Overhated - darthvadern

28Animal Crossing

This is a cool course

All the different seasons are amazing - Btd

Unique stage - Randomator

Creative - darthvadern

29Mario Kart Stadium

Usually, the first track of a Mario Kart game is described as boring or the worst track in the game, but Mario Kart 8 changed that all. It was obvious that Nintendo wanted to hook you up in the game straight away and they did just that. This changed a lot and this is now one of my favourite track. Nintendo added loads of anti-gravity sections for you to know what they are all about. It was fun and I was really happy this was a track.

It's about time Nintendo made it through a basic stadium track! Figure 8 and lying I circuit were flat out boring while toad circuit was mediocre. This setting of this track will give it four stars

It may be a short track but this track is a great track for starters! It have some shortcuts with a mushroom to it! I love the boosts you can drift on at the end! It's music is even cool!

Very cool to give the Mario Kart Series a sort of home track.

30DS Wario Stadium

I love the stadium feel you get while racing here! The music fits so well! - darthvadern

31Sweet Sweet Canyon

This one is made out of sweets! I love drifting and ramming into the cones! And I also love the shortcut through the doughnut!

Eh, a bit overrated but I love how it feels like Wreck-it Ralph - darthvadern

I like its its creative

CANDY

32N64 Toad's Turnpike

Moonview Highway was much better. The steroids from today's turnpike helped Moonview Highway to be my face MKWii track. This should be lower.

This track gives me frights. I get slammed by a car. I hope this is easier because of an anti gravity section.

Favourite retro track in the game - darthvadern

Time to add Toads Turnpike!

33SNES Rainbow Road

I hate the Mario kart 7 version but the 8 version is much more beautiful and the background is not a black void,

Better than most of the tracks in DLC Pack 1 - darthvadern

I love this track for some reason. Don’t know if it’s the music or design but I love it - Randomator

This track may be simple in design but it’s one of the best looking tracks in the game. I love it. - thunderstar1124

34GBA Cheese Land

The idea from everyone once they run out of race course ideas. LOL

Best retro DLC track in my opinion - darthvadern

Feels brand new - Randomator

This track makes me hungry..

35Water Park

Very underrated. Not as good as Dolphin Shoals but still great - darthvadern

I think this track is unique

I like this track

It’s okay - Randomator

36Moo Moo Meadows

I played all of the Mario Kart games and for me, Mario Kart Wii was far by the best best (followed by Double Dash! ). I was really happy to see one of my favourite tracks of the game returned as a retro track. It was awesome. I had loads of fun with this version and it easily beats the original version. I liked the extra gliding section they added. This was a really fun track.

The graphics and the music of this track changed of what used to be a useless track into one of the most awe inspiring courses in history. - recaller

I love the moo moos (cows) they are ADORABLE

Wow, so much better than the wii version - Harri666

37GCN Yoshi Circuit

theres a bunch of reasons why I love this track
1:its shaped like a YOSHI
2:it's a great remake
3:the music is awesome!
4:it has more decorations
5:it doesn't have that tunnel anymore
6:it has cool shortcuts
7:the track layout traces yoshi perfectly
8:and the original version of yoshi curcit was on the best mario kart game right now mario kart double dash with the others being in it as well
flaws:
1:it's a little flat on the road
2:it's the only track that traces characters
3:and its not fully a classic yet
that's the only flaws

Because It's shape liked Yoshi for goodness sake!

Better than the GCN and DS counterparts - darthvadern

Don't you like Yoshi

38Koopa City

Um.. this is the same as Neo bowser City that is why there's 49 tracks

Neo Bowser City is a more fitting name, I think.

One of my favourite tracks

What Koopa city? - trains45

39Mario Circuit

Definitely more unique than other versions of Mario Circuit - Randomator

I voted for this one mainly because of looks. I mean, if you take a glance at this track the only thing you can say is Whoa.

Best course in the game!

Bad track honestly - darthvadern

403DS Neo Bowser City

I do the best here and it really relies on drifting which I'm good at (also love the look)

Lots of turns for drifts! The music is great, incorporating lots of nostalgic soundtrack bits. The rain and numerous dropoffs add some fun uncertainty to the race. The scenery is too cool. Glad it was brought back!

Great retro track, although I prefer the european name - darthvadern

Crazy

41GBA Mario Circuit

The giant antigravity section is all it has going for it - Randomator

I really liked it honestly - darthvadern

Come on guys really? I mean.. This track rocks, far better than the original.. Sure it's a bit flat but come on.. Sooo cool a+

42GCN Baby Park

I do not care but I think this track is overrated and the most boring track ever made. It is not my least favorite track, but it is my 4th least favorite track in the game and my least favorite DLC track. I rank the tracks by it's design, detail, difficulty, music, and gimmicks. Not how crazy the tracks are. But Bone Dry Dunes, GCN Sherbet Land, and SNES Donut Plains 3 suck more than this. - greenshyguy

Why is this on here? It is filled with COMPLETE CHAOS

This is the remake it should have gotten - Randomator

This is TOO crazy for 200cc

43Cheep Cheep Beach DS

I never played ds but it's just a good stage over all

Still a great and unique track - darthvadern

Best course ever

Overrated - LimePepsi25

443DS DK Jungle

I love this track the back round looks so gorgeous and this stage is a blast

Decent music and overall fun stage - Randomator

Fun and overall excellent track - darthvadern

45GCN Dry Dry Desert

I really liked the original and this one's just even better - darthvadern

I love the new oasi zone! Now this track is way better than the GCN version!

Meh this track sucks. - greenshyguy

It’s okay - Randomator

46Bone Dry Dunes

I hate this course. This course was insulting to every Dry Bowser fan. You give us a course that represents Dry Bowser, and yet he's not a playable character. You gave us Pink Gold Peach instead? Pink Gold Irrelevant! I can't stand that stupid character! The course is also extremely bland and the sharp turns are annoying.

I feel bad for this course. I liked it. - Tyler730

Dudes, dry bones is the best

Bland but enjoyable - darthvadern

47N64 Royal Raceway

Worst of Banana Cup but I enjoy it - darthvadern

Peach is awesome

This is from the n64.

Fun track - Randomator

48SNES Donut Plains 3

Probably one of my favourite tracks in the game and one of my favourite retro tracks in the gane - darthvadern

What's wrong with it? And I'll tell you where it gets it's name from - well actually, I don't know why it's called that, but if you don't know what it's based on, it's based on at least one (mabe two) SNES Games! The game that I know it's based on for a fact is the origional 'Super Mario Kart' (aka, Mario Kart 1) - it's the second track of the Mushroom Cup (in Super Mario Kart)! I also know another Game that it could be based on, because of it's name, Donut Plains, which is the same name as the second world in the SNES title, Super Mario World (FYI, my second favorite Mario Game of all time)! In Super Mario World, after you defeat the 'demented' Iggy Koopa, Mario and Yoshi's friend (yellow yoshi), travel to Donut Plains to rescue another one of Yoshi's friends from Morton Koopa Jr.! And while I mentioned that my second favorite game is Super Mario World, my third favorite game is, as a matter of fact, Mario Kart 8! My favorite Video Game of all time, though, is Super Mario Galaxy! ..more

Where did they get the name from?

Boringest Track in the Game, So Dumb - ChiefMudkip

49Wii Wario's Gold Mine

I was really surprised that I put this on the list. I really hated this track on mkwii because you can't control your karts and those stupid bats and mine carts can really cost you time. I was really glad that these changes were made for example the graphics made you feel like you are in a REAL gold mine and the setting correlates to the track. They also put in those singing shy guys who are so fun to watch. I also loved those anti-gravity segments they put to the track to make more twisty. Those mine carts gave me a relief as you can bump into them and get a boost from them. They also make the shortcut MUCH EASIER to get through. The music sounds good too. This is a really fun track to play and it's probably my favorite in DLC pack 1 in Mario Kart 8. - recaller

I don't really think this track really needed a remake. It was awesome before. - Qryzx

No, they ruined my favourite Mario Kart track of all time! It's Mushroom Cup difficulty! You din't get hit when running into the carts, you get boosts! And they removed all the fun passages like that one rail that lead backwards! That rail made it posswible to drive backwards in Mairo Kart Wii! But they removed it in 8. - darthvadern

Cool course
