    I won't get it since I did not like using the Wii Wheel in Mario Kart Wii and the Wii remote controls the same as the Wii Wheel.

    I'll probably end up using the pro controller, because in Wii I stuck to the Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo, but it's nice to see that there's always the multiple play styles.

    Here are pictures of the layouts of Sweet Sweet Canyon, Mario Circuit, and Thwomp Ruins.

    They look good and Mario Circuit looks way better then it did at E3.

    It does? Honestly I noticed no difference in the Mario Circuit from E3 and the one just shown. What's different about them?

     Same here... It looks bland with the Bird's Eye view but I'm pretty sure it won't be, it just looks it. Also, it's nice to see that they've spiced up the graphics in Thwomp Ruins!

    So what retro tracks does everybody want to see in Mario Kart 8? Personally I wish they weren't there to begin with and that every track was new, but I know they are. Razz So I'd like to see Figure-8 Circuit due to this being Mario Kart 8, Royal Circuit, Dino Jungle (or whatever that course was called with the giant dinosaurs in Double Dash), Maple Treeway would be nice in HD as well. Oh, and Waluigi Pinball has to be in this, or at least a brand new track that does even more with the idea.

    Here's a look at Toad Harbor.

    Mario Kart 8 - Page 9 Mk8track9

    Mario Kart 8 - Page 9 Mk8track10

    It sucks that this course is in the Flower cup but, I think we may get the name of the Boo House course in a few days.

    Dino Dino Jungle, Waluigi Pinball and Maple Treeway were used in 7 though.

    I think there will be 4 3DS and Wii Retro tracks, 2 DS, N64, and GCN Retro tracks and just one SNES and GBA retro track.
    Here's the Retro tracks that are known
    GBA Mario Circuit
    GCN Dry Dry Desert
    DS Tick-Tock Clock
    Wii Grumble Volcano
    3DS Music Park
    3DS Piranha Plant Slide
    3DS DK Jungle

    Ones that could return
    3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon
    SNES Mario Circuit 4
    GCN Mushroom City
    DS Figure-8 Circuit
    N64 Rainbow Road
    N64 Yoshi Valley
    Wii Moo Moo Meadows
    Wii DK Summit
    Wii Bowser's Castle

    It looks like it's from a storybook...
    Why is there like a giant Rosalina in the background?

    ^ I think that's the Statue of Liberty, but it's Princess Peach, not Rosalina. Razz All of these tracks have so many extra details, there's so much going on. It's like they're real places.

    The Boo house is now Twisted Mansion.

    Mario Kart 8 - Page 9 Mk8track11

    It looks the same and I think Luigi's or King Boo's Twisted Mansion would have been a better name.

    Strange name...

    It should've been King Boo's Twisted Mansion, if he's playable in this like he was in the Wii version. (and the 3DS version? I don't know...)

    But that course looked fun at E3, I really hope they don't reveal a ton of courses before the game's release, as I don't want to start playing and know what every single course looks like. Razz

    Twisted Mansion
    Thwomp Ruins
