Most Overrated Mario Kart Courses

I honestly love this track. It was the first Rainbow Road I ever played, and it is nostalgic for me. However, I do think that it is the most overrated Mario Kart track of all time. People hate on Mario Kart 8 Rainbow Road, but I feel like it did a better job at being a Rainbow Road than this track seeing how that track actually has some challenge. There are barriers all around this track, and it is very long and tedious for the most part. I will say, though, the MK8 remake of this track is honestly one of the best Rainbow Road tracks in the entire series, but the original version is just straight up overrated.

One time when I was visiting a friend we looked at a Mario Kart video (a worst tracks list) and when they mentioned this track, they said the remake 'ruined their nostalgia'.
My friend said that if they get their nostalgia ruined by that so easily then they must have a pretty sad childhood.
I agree with that mainly due to the fact that the music was the only good thing in the track.

It's long, tedious, and the Chain-Chomps are annoying. It's only redeeming factor is its music, which you can't hear in 3-4 players, and I prefer Double Dash's Rainbow Road music.

Agreed to them. This track is overrated because of length. First, three laps and boring, but now, a better track but only one lap! But this track is still my fave because of MK8!

I agree that Rainbow Road 64 is overrated, but Maple Treeway? Seriously? Coconut Mall and Baby Park also shouldn't be in the top ten but Waluigi Pinball is all the way down at #18? I have never heard someone say they do not like this track. Definitely should be higher.

It's so overrated! People have it it in the top 2 usually whereas in my list this track is only in the top ten! Airship Fortress, Luigi's Mansion, Delfino Square and even the infamous Desert Hills are all way better!

Why isn't this higher? Maple Treeway is the best track but Waluigi Pinball is pretty bland. The scenery is alright but the track design is lame and boring, yet everyone loves Waluigi Pinball.

All of the things people hate about this stage are critical parts of a mall, like escalators for example. Would you rather learn how to climb to the floor you need? Don't think so. And Why would there be places to fall off of in a mall? I can't understand that logic. And in my opinion, I wouldn't throw away possibly the only obstacle (mii cars) from the track. Also, if you hate the music so much then just mute your T.V. or play the course less. Also, this track made an everyday type of building into a legendary masterpiece so of course it's picked a lot online. The things you hate about this are almost 100 percent vital for a mall.

I don't understand the logic of Coconut Mall being more overrated than Mount Wario. Mount Wario is even more loved than this track, heck it probably goes higher than Maple Treeway (don't tell me that's not saying much)! And why is Baby Park only contender rank? At least you can actually enjoy yourself in time trial playing Coconut Mall, unlike GCN Baby Park. Seriously, have you ever played Baby Park without items? It's hella boring and at least the DS remake is shorter so I don't have to suffer 2 more laps. Coconut Mall is pretty much the most creative track in Mario Kart Wii, yet somehow it exceeds Maple Treeway in popularity and overratedness (I think I just made a word up but who the truck cares)? How retarded. You're basically saying creativity is not more important than uniqueness? Okay then. The cars are obviously not the only obstacle in the game and need to be completely removed. And of course it will kill you to walk on an escalator to save you the trouble of walking/climbing ...more

I swear, Coconut Mall fans are some of the most toxic people I have ever encountered in the Nintendo universe. Everyone is SOOOO obsessed over this track and the music to the point where it became a meme. If you say anything negative about it, they will get pretty angry and attack you instantly. And here in the comments section here, a lot of people defending it and saying it's not overrated when they don't the true defintion of it. It doesn't mean that it's bad, it probably gets too much hype and attention. Although I do agree that it's a great track, I honestly think there are better tracks in Mario Kart than Coconut Mall.

This course is NOT overrated. If anything, its either underrated or perfectly rated, but overrated? The reason it was picked so much was because the track design, and the music makes the course even better. If you look up top 10s of Mario kart, Coconut Mall would barely even make the list so Coconut Mall is perfectly rated. Come up with another reason aside from it being overpicked in an online service that is now discontinued.

The drifting on this track is really not that great. That's why I prefer more simple maps like Rainbow Road.

Koopa cape should be respected as it is one of the only courses belonging to my bio kappa troopa

It really isn't that great

Great track however.

This is put Higher on opinion lists than Coconut Mall, so This Should be Higher. My only Issue is it's picked SO often in top 10s and left Coconut Mall out. It's overloved by people in top 145s, but You've Got to Admit that This is One of the Best Tracks ever made.

This tracks annoys me so much! That trunk ( I think that's what it is) is impossible to stay on, those fat wigglers block 99 percent of the track and CPUs will knock you off!

This track is excellent but higly overrated, I can't understand why people put this course in their top 5, I don't find this the best track ever.

It's a great course but not the best. Koopa Cape, Coconut Mall, Toad's Factory and Wario's Gold Mine are all better

I hate this stupid course. I always get last because I keep falling off the edges.

We're only at the top six and this track is here TWICE!?!? It sucks so bad.

Awesome track, but that track is way overused for online gameplay and Morton became the new Funky Kong in Season 8 of Mario Kart.

Very good track but highly overrated. I developed huge hatred for Mount Wario due to how popular it is.

Hard to believe people find this less overrated than Coconut Mall. It's nice, but not THAT nice.

Eh, I think this one deserves the praise, it's the first section course that doesn't loop!

This deserves to be higher. One time someone asked why Airship Fortress is so loved, then someone responded by linking the definition of "opinion", with a message saying "Because these exist:".

I hate people who hide behind the opinion card, it's like people spamming in Fighting games and calling you a hacker when they lose. Also, I wasn't born in the 80s/90s, so I don't feel the 'nostalgia' anyone else felt.

This is not overrated, nobody talks about it.

It's still the DLC Pack 1's best though

So out-of-place

I don't understand why everyone says this is the best course in Double Dash.

Why does everyone call this the best course in Double Dash?

DK's Snowboard Cross was better.

Because it is

The track is, but the music is one of the best in the series!

This track is basically a battle stage in race mode... Yipee...? I will even go as far as to say this is pretty much figure-8 circuit with flashy decoration and is pill-shaped. Honestly I never like items too much (which you might be fairly triggered about), and this track got their popularity from items. Item boxes aren't even there in time trials (you only get the classic 3 mushroom boosts), and without the items this track is just a waste of a stage slot that could've been used to remake Maple Treeway or perhaps even DK Summit (DK Summit doesn't have a single remake and yet this track has 2)! This track would've been hated in battle mode (due to the lack of space), but at least that mode matched it's style of play. There is absolutely no redeeming factor for this track other than the music. Overall huge DLC space wasted.

I have played dd this track is boring baby park more like crap crap man, that wasn't even a pun oh GOD this track has 7 laps! The track is shaped like a pill. More like figure-pill circuit. It is sad this track sucks because it's the baby character's theme they should be ashamed and embarrassed to have their name slapped on such a bad track and the music is annoying thank God we only have to do 5 laps in the ds version. When it comes to items you know what this is? Moonview highway. ON STEROIDS! This track sucks. After all it is time I say, baby park is a pile.

At least Figure-8 Circuit has off-road, what does this have? Nothing! People love it because of chaos! There's Battle Mode for a reason!

This track is kinda annoying, but the DS remake was way better and more quiet.

This course is trash! No expert shortcuts in this race, average physics, no traction, and nothing but ridiculous heck! If I was captain, I would hit Funky Kong, Dry Bones, King Boo, Toadette, Dry Bowser, Diddy, Koopa Troopa, or Bowser Jr. with any item if any of them were following me. Yoshi doesn't own them all.

I prefer this track over Baby Park honestly.
You could just take the items off and the track is literally worse than this.
There actually is some Yoshi posters in the background, places to fall off, speed boosts, and it isn't just battle mode with laps.

Baby Park is the only good repetitive track in the series. Yoshi Falls is just bad.

Almost everyone LOVE this stage, but beside some cool sound effects that influence the music of the stage, koopa and shy guy dancing arround and beautiful graphism (like any MK8 tracks), this stage is not interesting. In fanct, there is not any creative or unique obstacle. Also, the fact that music park (or melody motorway) exist makes it even less original since this stage is the first to create head popping pirhana plants and use the music in a better way then electrodrome for an obstacle. I mean, I'm sorry but a dance stage is not original. Also, if I was doing a top 15 mario kart 8 tracks, Electrodrome wouldn't be there! And all this comes from someone that never played online before. That means that I'm not influenced by electrodorme presence in online

I USED to love this stage. It was the one stage that I would always play. But as I played more and more online I realized how OVERRATED it is. Once it was Electrodrome,Mute City, and some other stage (let's just say it was Toad Turnpike). So anyways I picked Big Blue and I was the only person who didn't pick Electrodrome. PLEASE STOP PICKING THIS STAGE ONLINE

I've never understood why people like this track. It's my least favorite track the the star cup on mariokart 8. I remember seeing top mariokart track lists and it'd be close to the top, but when I played I the first time I thought, 'Why is this so special'! It has a catchy song, but the song is not nearly as good as Cloudtop Cruise, Toad Harbor, Shy Guy Falls, Mute City, Wild Woods, or Big Blue

So N64 rainbow road and Waluigi pinball make sense but how the hell is bone dry dunes at #7 and this stage is at #22? This stage is the most picked online by far it's almost unanimous every time.I mean it's okay but not that good.

How about a track for a newcomer that rocks like Dry Bones, King Boo, Rosalina, Funky Kong, Honeybee Queen, or Shy Guy? Peach doesn't deserve all the tracks.

How is this overrated? This is called bland by people (I love this course personally and it's better than Waluigi Pinball).

Princess Daisy & Rosalina should appear in more games than Princess Peach anyways.

Why is peach getting every race track in every game?! She doesn't deserve them all!

This track is not the best mario kart track of all time! I never understood why people love this overrated track

My personal favorite track but overrated

Honestly, I really hope that MK7 Rainbow Road gets added in the next DLC pack, because this track (apart from the music and the nostalgia factor) really, REALLY sucks on numerous levels if you ask me.

Only beginners who constantly fall off the edge dislike this level. It's simple, but easily the best track in Mario Kart history, plus the music is the best.

Why was this track picked nearly every round in Mario Kart 7's online mode? WHY WAS IT IN THE Mario KART 8 DLC OVER 3DS RAINBOW ROAD?!

THE MUSIC IS AMAZING but stage itself really?

Why is this track so insanely popular?! It's not terrible, but why on earth was this course number 1 one both TheKoopaCaptain's Top 100 Mario Kart Tracks on YouTube and the Best Track in Mario Kart polls on the GameFaqs board?! In my opinion, Tick-Tock Clock is a bland, boring course that is loved simply for the clock concept.

DS tracks worse that TTC: Desert Hills, Peach Gardens

DS tracks better than TTC: Figure-8 Circuit, *YOSHI FALLS*, Cheep Cheep Beach, Luigi's Mansion, Delfino Square, Waluigi Pinball, Shroom Ridge, *DK PASS*, Mario Circuit, Airship Fortress, Wario Stadium, Bowser Castle, Rainbow Road.

How is this the most innovative course in Mario Kart? It's just a level from Super Mario 64!

You drive on grass for. The first three quarters of the track and then ramp off into an extremely blunt city.

I couldn't say its overrated. I don't see any votes online about it. PUT NEO BOWSER CITY/KOOPA CITY on 3ds

Daisy Hills! Whatever, Princess Daisy's brothers would be ungrateful for this ridiculous course.

I saw a list where someone ranked this above Koopa Cape...

Sunshine Airport is easily a top 100 Mario Kart track, but it doesn't deserve to be a top 20 Mario Kart track. It might not even be a top 50 Mario Kart track. They were going to think of driving in an airport at somepoint, so why is it so mind blowing to everyone?

Welcome to the new coconut mall..

Wario needs to stop getting more stuff than Waluigi

Ds wario stadium is BETTER BY FAR

They won't stop using it

This is a good course

Definitely favorite GCN track. Along with RAINBOW ROAD too. They should add it as retro track in Mario kart 9

I love this track one of my liked track in double dash

Not one of my favorites from Double Dash

Mushroom physics are inconsistent and bad, racing game = GO FAST, Mushroom Gorge = SLOW DOWN! Stop liking bad tracks.

The CGN Rainbow Road is far more overrated than this one, you guys just hate it because you keep falling.

How is this on the list? it's far from overrated, it's actually very underrated, it's the best track in the sereis

If you have tough drift bike you should be fine

It's perfectly rated
