I'd like the remaining two to be GCN ones. I want Wario Colosseum and Mushroom Bridge/City.

And if we get Baby Park:

DK Mountain (GCN), Grumble Volcano (Wii) or Bowser's Castle (Wii), please!

They have plenty of unique ideas for race tracks just based off of the Super Mario Galaxy series, I wonder why they didn't use any...A race around the observatory, a space-themed track with all the Mario goodies, a race around the giant robot in that toy factory and many other potential ideas. They had to choose Wuhu Island in Wii Sports Resort nstead? =.=;;

There's already 4 Wii retro tracks so we don't be seeing those.

Btw, there's apparently a new snow/ice track where you can see the Comet Observatory and some of the planets from SMG. It's not exactly racing around the actual observatory but I think it's as close as we're gonna get. :P

DK Mountain (GCN) Is already in MKW. So there isn't a chance of that returning.

I would love to see Wario Colosseum (GCN) And Yoshi Valley (N64) return in MK7. Yoshi valley is one of my favorites because all of the different paths you could take,I would love to see it return! I'm also vary happy to see Waluigi pinball return. That was my favorite track on MKDS.

Luigi Raceway and Kalimari desert? Come on there are way better N64 tracks that could have been chosen. I would love to see Yoshi Valley. DK's Jungle Parkway or Sherbet Land would be nice too.

Looks like the same track we saw in the previews that lead to an underwater area, I think. Its OK as long as the Rainbow Road in MK7 lives up to its name compared to the previous ones, it'll make up for the tracks they 'forgot' to put in!

I'm glad they at least put in Airship Fortress, that was one of my favorites in MKDS. I almost forgot about Yoshi Valley. That track was interesting because on a bad day, I would never take the left path :O

I agree that we should get GCN Baby Park. I loved the track in the DS version although I understand them not wanting to repeat it in a second handheld game.

Baby Park has got to be the lamest course in the history of Mario Kart.

I thought Baby Park was one of the best, but only in Double Dash because of the character specific items. You had giant bowser shells bouncing all over the place, giant bananas and other items that made every lap out of those six very dangerous! But if it were any other Mario Kart version, I think it is pretty lame.

Ya know, that's the only reason I liked it too :)

I'm going to guess the last two tracks are taken from the GameCube and N64 versions of the game. Overall though, a little disappointing. The DS version still has the strongest line up of retro tracks.

There should be one more N64 track, so I'm hoping for Toad's Turnpike.

As far as the other, a Super Circuit track such as Ribbon Road or Sunset Wilds would be neat. If they could put in one Double Dash track, I think Sherbet Land would be good, but who knows.

Looks like Daisy Cruiser from Double Dash is gonna be in this game. That makes it the second GCN track after Dino Dino Jungle and the 15th retro track. That means there's only one spot left.

This is seriously looking like it'll be my favorite Mario Kart game; over half the retro track setlist consists of my favorites!! :D Koopa Troopa Beach, Kalimari Desert, Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, Daisy Cruiser and Dino Dino Jungle, and all 4 Wii tracks are all my favorites from that game.

Edit: Oh yeah, you're probably wanting proof that Daisy Cruiser is in. :P If you click on Daisy, it'll play a video showing a short segment of her driving on the track. I'm just thrilled that Daisy Cruiser made it. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/amkj/character/index.html

Looks like the final retro track is SNES Rainbow Road; it'll be the last track in the Lightning Cup.

SNES Rainbow Road on the SNES without all the current power-ups wasn't so bad. Now include the current power-ups..its going to be a circus =.=;; If I remember correctly, that stage has no walls or anything preventing you from falling down.
