Guess who's back again. It's time for another installment in my Mario Kart Ranking series, and this time we're looking at the Special Cups, home to many of Bowsers Castles and Rainbow Roads in the sky. You could call this a semi-final of sorts, as this is the final set of nitro cups before moving on to the long anticipated retro cups. It took me quite a bit of time to create this one, so I really hope you enjoy it!

    “DK’s Jungle Parkway wins the competition for weirdest track name.” Mount Wario:
  • If GBA Rainbow Road gets remade, I think they should put the movie version of Bowser's Castle in the background. It's pretty similar to Paper Mario's version, floating in the sky with Bowser's face on the front and having balls with chains. It's more relevant in the modern day, and has a more intimidating design, so it's perfect.

    Schaffrillis is about to call a hit on you.

    Mario Kart 7's rainbow road is one of my favorite tracks in the entire series
  • @Scott...
    My biggest issue with 8’s Rainbow Road is that it could’ve been SO much cooler. One super underrated aspect of 8 is that most of the nitro tracks (and some of the retros, like Toad’s Turnpike) take place in an interconnected city, imagine how good a Rainbow Road going through that city would be.

    I like Banshee Boardwalk. There's something about its challenge and aesthetic that makes me enjoy it.

    I'm SO glad 8DX kept the meteor effect in Wii's Rainbow Road, even if for just a second before Lakitu comes to whisk you back to safety. it was such a neat bit of the original :)
  • @plushiesdx
    7:35 it's funny how 8's trailers treated 64's Rainbow Road as a bigger deal than 8's Rainbow Road
  • 3.5/5 for ds bowser castle is crazy. best bowser castle track in the franchise
  • @Durtle.
    What do you know it’s another win for the amazing mario kart Wii Also the schaffrillas part was funny
  • @Baraka_Maracas
    It is here, I hope you can make more fun videos like these like ranking all the booster course cups or retro cups!
  • @mubzytv
    I’m glad you mentioned the no Thwomps in MK8 Bowsers Castle. No one really brings it up
  • 18:09 Actually, this DOES make sense in the Mario Universe since Dry Bones are common enemies. Thus, multiple appear at the exact same time despite being the same character. And they're also skeletal versions of Koopas, which also have selectable slots in some of the Mario Spin-offs. So yeah. This tracks at the end of the day.
  • @jakethedog2.0
    it’s finally out this was worth the wait ik that either wii’s special cup or gcn’s special cup will win with how fantastic the track selection is
  • @daisam6426
    Schafrillas is on his way to your house for putting DS special cup at 6

    22:43 “Even the trees are alive too.” This game has so much charm. I wish trees in real life were also alive.
