I know the DLC's only been around for a few days, so we can't really say how toxic a track is going to be in wars/lounge until it's played more, but I was curious what everyone's thoughts were early on. I'll start with mine and I'll go in least favourite to favourite tracks (loosely ranked)
8. Wii Coconut Mall
Looking to be terribly toxic, super narrow, awkward lines and a very poor track with very few coins in the optimal lines. There's already 3 bill strats and the one that starts on the line and the one that starts in cut, are massive, particularly skipping the awful turn before 2nd set. I hate to call someone out specifically, but Rookie, I think you called it being a running track far too early, it's gonna be TM at best, imo
7. DS Shroom Ridge
I dislike car tracks as a rule, so I'm not a huge fan of this. Major step up from rTT, but still not that fun. Good music and decent to drive in 1st, however, the pack is hell, not a fan.
6. 3DS Toad Circuit
Shorter rMC, not the worst, but not that fun either, at least it isn't any LC.
5. Tour Tokyo Blur
Most "meh" track in the 1st wave, nothing extraordinary, nothing terrible. It's fun enough to drive, but has a few awkward turns that I'm not a fan of.
4. Tour Ninja Hideaway
The custom track of Nintendo tracks, truly bizarre design that isn't bad save for the moving platform that throws you into a terrible line if you aren't on pace, also the cut is super awkard to get into, will get better with practice, i'd imagine (this is why these are early reactions), but still weird to do initially.
3. Tour Paris Promenade
Probably my worst opinion is that I like this track, it's really nice to drive and I like the way the split paths are made where the faster path skips an item set. I like how lap 3 is different and as you going reversed on the track. TBD how toxic thar ends up being in wars. Not as fun as others, but I do really enjoy playing it.
2. GBA Sky Garden
Despite the downgrade from its DS and GBA counterparts, this version is still really fun to drive. I like the nisc on last turn and the superbounce off the leaf is oddly satisfying to do. Really fun to drive despite being barely recognizable from its original version.
1. N64 Choco Mountain
Unsure how much of a hot take this is, but CM64 is so far my favourite track. Other than the bridge at glider landing that isn't trickable, the track plays really nicely and its looking to be a welcome additon to midspot/lounge tracks in the vain of DS, ED and rGV.
