How Many Mario Kart 8 Tracks Could you Actually Drive on?

Sorry for the bad quality I'll make it better next time, promise

In this video, I am going to be seeing how many Mario Kart 8 deluxe tracks you can actually possibly drive on. It's pretty surprising how much the tracklist gets narrowed down when you are trying to find ones that are possible in real life.
All the music I used was from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Wii.

Fun fact about Mario Circuit GBA, it actually WAS recreated irl for some live action Mario Mercedes commercials around the time they were initially added to MK8 as vehicles.

Drome is a suffix meaning race track. A hippodrome was originally an arena for chariot and horse races. Its a greek word.

What if every Mercedes-Benz secretly had antigravity in it the whole time since the crossover and just nobody tried

[elord]

He’s worried about rainbow road (wii u)’s glider sections but not the fact YOURE LITERALLY IN SPACE

The "drome" in "Electrodrome" refers to a racetrack, not a hemispherical arena.

[Blazio]

Would be funny if someone ported all the tracks into a realistic driving game like Forza or something and then actually tested how many of the tracks are possible.

[something.fishy]

Despite owning Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and having played the track multiple times, this is the first time I had heard excitebike arena was randomised... I never realised 😅

[GravityGuava]

Don't worry, all courses are driveable irl. You just need to be in a mercedes gla

[KyrosnoProductions]

2:54 (gba mario circuit) should theoretically/technically be possible to drive on because if you look at the opening animation of the course, they raise that part of the track, so you could essentially just lower it back down and you'd be fine

4:14 Donut Plains (lake problem) amphibious vehicles/hovercraft exist that should be able to handle that (although any normal car would probably flood their engine attempting it)

Edit : you should give the booster course pass a shot

[bluerious]

I really like how the possible track in the thumbnail was ultimately deemed impossible

[sometfplayer]

5:05 that’s because drome means a place denoted for running or racing

[Roccondil]

I feel like some of the tracks you've discounted could actually be doable if built for motocross racing, as they usually have jumps along the track, including some fairly big jumps usually at a climax of a track (though I guess not usually a "long jump" sort of element).

[pyrethistle]

I feel a teirlist format based on how dangerous the courses are would work very well here. Also how the hell do you not have more subs this stuff is quality

[squidd]

Want to mention that in defense of wallriding in a car, there are downforce-heavy vehicles (like the McMurtry fan car) that could, given some design adjustments at least, drive on a vertical surface. Formula 1 cars have been shown to create enough downforce to drive upside down as well, and while not practical in any sense could provide a weird way to run some courses.

I love how with the Rainbow Roads, he glossed over the fact that they are literally IN SPACE.

[sonicrunnr]

Okay, HYPOTHETICALLY Ribbon Road could be possible…if you recreate it to scale IRL. Meaning it's a toy road. And you drive a toy car across it by hand.

Neight: "Please do not drive through a subway system!"
Morgana: "Haha Monamobile go brr"

[hipsnowsis]

I feel there could have been reasonably capacity to define the vehicle as some sort of rally car that can do some of the medium sized jumps and glides. remember they can often add a catch ramp to jumps. and I think some level of partial or temporary submersion would also be fair. nothing world breaking, but something more than a ford focus with extra suspension yknow

11:27 yoshi waving before the thing covers him

[Rockbot-Inc.]

1:47 not if redbull hass anything to do with it
