Top 10 Hardest Mario Kart Wii Tracks

This is why it's the hardest:

Rainbow Road in Mario Kart Wii is a version of the recurring rainbow-colored track, and once again, the race track is transparent. The track takes place within the Earth's atmosphere and appears to be located over the eastern parts of North America, as well as some parts of Europe, Africa, and South America. If the player happens to fall off this track, they will burn up in the atmosphere, no matter if there is a section of the course below them, before getting picked up by Lakitu.

This course has a Super Mario Galaxy theme to it and even includes floating Star Bits and a part of a Super Mario Galaxy musical piece, Good Egg Galaxy's background music. A large galaxy can be seen in the background, plus sunlight on the Earth's surface. This course is also Rosalina's expert staff ghost and normal staff ghost course. Also, it has no railings, so you could fall off at any time.

The only track I think is hard... Those cars. It's a very annoying track. If I had a list of my least favorite tracks, all the traffic tracks would be on it, except for GCN Mushroom City. I think we all hate traffic tracks, but in Moonview Highway, the cars are going faster than they ever did before. This track is so infuriating, and that's why I think it is the hardest track.

I remember that I especially found this track difficult. Personally, I don't mind tracks with traffic on them, but the congestion on this road is insane!

The bomb carts and the fact that the track is set at night, which can make it hard to see, do not help very much either.

I can get first place on Rainbow Road a hundred times. All you have to do is avoid dying (which means knowing how to take your finger off the accelerator when going around sharp turns). When I'm using a motorcycle, though, Wario's Gold Mine kills me all the time.

When I first got this game, it gave me trouble because it is basically Rainbow Road inside a gold mine! Did I mention there are mine carts that try to knock you off the track? There is a shortcut, but of course, on lap 3, a smoke screen goes up so you can fall off the track once you're out of the shortcut! Nintendo, we love you.

This course is like a massive troll. Fireballs, narrow track, and if that isn't bad enough, portions of the track fall off on the final lap! You'll find yourself being smacked off the track and into the lava, especially if you play online!

I hate when you go off a jump and a fireball from the volcano lands right in front of you and you're helpless. This course is just plain hard. Lava, fire, disappearing track, fire bouncy things. It comes with the whole package of what makes a course hard.

Way harder than Wario's Gold Mine. By the end of the race, half the track is gone and on top of that, there are moving platforms and fire snakes.

I love it, but it is definitely the most skill-based with only the glitch as a shortcut. While you can definitely catch up to computers from last place, you can't get up to first from last online.

How is this not at least #4? The robot irritates the hell out of me, and I've lost count of how many times I've crashed into the fireballs on the last boost.

I hate the part where there is a giant Bowser robot that makes giant fireballs. At least there are great items like the star or mega mushroom.

I don't know why, but for me this race is pretty hard. I like Rainbow Road and Wario's Gold Mine is like my favorite track, but I hate Sherbet Land 64.

I hate sharp turns. This course has a lot of them. In fact, every course in the Banana Cup has a lot of sharp turns.

Very sharp turns, and it gets very tough to avoid the penguins in the ice caves.

I always get knocked off the branches. The bullet leaves you in a position to fall off. The Wigglers are so annoying.

I used to hate this track, actually, because of the part where you drive on a big tree branch or something. Now, I love it.

Harder than SNES Rainbow Road! The stupid Wiggler is always in the way, and the tree branches have weird sharp turns!

Koopa Cape, I played it once... and I loved it. Racing down a river, dodging electricity, and going over waterfalls in the Tiny Titan shroomless is so awesome. I'm kinda bad, but my record is 2:41.269!

The turns are a little sharp, and inside the pipe, it can be hard to avoid those electric things.

Honestly, what makes this track hard are the sharpest turns and the last waterfall.

Thwomps, easy. Shortcuts, great. This is a solid and awesome Bowser Castle course. Bowser made a full-on castle. My record is 2:27.441.

The turns are incredibly sharp, and you're forced to slow down to make them.

This is my least favorite track besides Wario's Gold Mine in the game. I always get 10th place or worse.

The GameCube version is definitely better because of the extra ramps at the beginning and the trail down the mountain. But still, the shortcuts really bring it back. My record is 2:12.744.

This one is kind of hard but still my favorite because it is so fun!

I could laugh really hard at people getting hit by the snowballs and then falling off. Such good memories.

Glitches? Sure, the Mushroom Gorge glitch, okay. Bouncing around gets taken to the extreme in Mushroom Gorge. I still get target shocked every time I play it and get a low spot. My record is 2:07.720.

Mushroom Gorge is so annoying! Whenever I do a trick off a mushroom, I mostly fall off! It's so hard. For a race in the Mushroom Cup, it doesn't seem fair.

Mushroom Gorge is so hard. My little brother thinks it was easy, but it's not. I always die at the cave part in the track.

I can't stand when this track is chosen online. It's all about luck here. You could be in first place, and then comes the blue shell.

Ugh, the cows are IMPOSSIBLE to avoid! The first time I played, I kept driving into them and got last place!

Laugh out loud, they are easy to dodge, but this is a fun course, laugh out loud.

This isn't even a castle! What the heck! It's just some random stone thingamabob on lava!

For me, it's easy to dodge the bombs, but the crabs? Nah, not really.

Donkey Kong, what do you have now? A big jump, a forest, a cave, and a dangerous bridge to cross? Oh DK. This is a lot better in the Wii version. It's #12 on my N64 list. But, my record is 2:27.562.

Dudes, Luigi Circuit is the hardest course in this game, and it's ironic because it's the first and - on the surface - easiest one. But when you look at this course and its layout, it's a disaster waiting to happen, especially when playing online against non-CPU competition.

There is so much that can go wrong because of how chaotic this track can get, regardless of skill level, and there is almost no time to recover. If you are not frontrunning - even if you are frontrunning - and you mess up or fall behind early due to one too many mistakes, it's RIP. Places can change in an instant. Everything happens and ends at the snap of a finger. There is almost no protection because of how wide open the course is.

Luigi Circuit is one of the last places I want to race. I'll gladly race Gold Mine and Rainbow Road before I willingly pick Luigi Circuit.

Putting this track in the Mushroom Cup is pretty underrating. The Flower Cup and even Star Cup would be more fitting than the Mushroom Cup that is meant to introduce the game to the player. Though not Special Cup level, it's certainly not Mushroom Cup level either.

It's in between Star Cup and Flower Cup for me (average/above average difficulty level).

This course has so much going on. It's so interesting, and it's not too overpowering. Toad's Factory should have been in Mario Kart 8. Really. Now, I've got a record of 2:12.421.

There is like no way to race without those cones slowing you down. It is so hard people make fun of me, who think it's easy when you get squashed in the secret passageway.

The DS version is pretty much the same as the Wii version. They both have easy-to-avoid obstacles and great shortcuts. It's a done deal! 2:10.697.

If you use the Bullet Bike or Mach Bike on this course, you will win every time.

I hate this track! The turns are just too sharp.
