Super Mario Kart Tracks Ranked

Published 2023-12-17
Howdy y’all it is me JSoldierPro once again and today I am ranking every track from Super Mario Kart from worst to best. This is apart of a series in which I will be ranking every track from all games from Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe before I do a full series ranking of all the tracks from worst to best! Next time I will be ranking all tracks in Mario Kart 64 so make sure to stick around if you enjoyed this ranking! Anyways have a great day!😁



•F Tier (Bad):
•Overall negative opinion on the track.
•Do not recommend at all and if anything recommend avoiding it like the plague.

D Tier (Mid):
•Overall neutral opinion on the track.
•Do not recommend at all.

C Tier (Decent):
•Overall slightly positive opinion on the track though hardly positive at all. Track is somewhat fun but not much more than that.
•Might recommend on rare occasion but typically won’t.

B Tier (Good):
•Overall positive opinion on the track. Track is genuinely interesting and is not only fun but also has replay value. Track also doesn’t have any track killing flaws.
•Recommend though not highly.

A Tier (Amazing):
•Overall positive opinion on the track. Track is very fun with lots of replay value and has no major flaws.
•Absolutely recommend without question.

S Tier (Fantastic):
•Almost entirely positive opinion on the track. Track is very well designed, has only very minimal flaws, has plenty of replay value, and is very creative.
•Highly recommend without question and you seriously need to make sure to play these.

S+ Tier (Masterpiece):
•Essentially a perfect track with very few, if any, notable flaws. Track has incredible design, has tons of replay value, is very creative, and is extremely memorable.
•Absolutely recommend. If a game has at least one of these and you don’t play any during a given play session, stop what you are doing and reevaluate your life choices because you are missing out on literal peak Mario Kart gameplay!

    Alright, finally! My video has exported!! Time to watch this banger! (btw the vid will be out either 11:30 or 12:00 my time)
  • @WiiManLei
    The fact that someone can make a 30+ minute video about Super Mario Kart is insane lmao
  • Let’s be honest, we’re here just to see who’s behind Rainbow Road(or whatever #1 ends up being)
