I mean, I get it. People complain about the original being too long of a track (personally, Ive always loved it), but the Mario Kart 8 version is just way, way too short. I feel like its over before it even starts

Actually, she says that it only lasts a minute or two, but it's so terrible it feels like forever.

I agree. I like what they did to make the track generally more interesting, but only doing (effectively) a single lap just makes it too short. Cutting it down to only two laps of the full thing would have been pretty much perfect.

Nostalgia aside, Rainbow Road in the original Mario Kart 64 was the worst Rainbow Road. Almost no real obstacles and the steep downward cliff at the beginning feels like a glitch rather than an intended part of the track.

Rainbow Road on the Wii sucked for the opposite reason that it was way too full of ways to fuck up.

Meh, I'd rather have a track feel too short than feel too long

I think I'm the only one who loves the original track as is. It's not too long for me.

I forgot. Does the track generally end before the song starts to really get good.

Yeeeup.

I remember playing it for the first time and not even realizing I was in the second lap when I got to the third.

They definitely goofed on that.

Rainbow Road is probably the most broken track in Mario Kart 64. I doubt the average player on that game would have uncovered it's secrets but for speedrunners they absolutely wrecked that track after years of work.

I disagree that it sucks but I will agree it can be too full of ways to fuck up. It's one of the best tracks in the game because of the way it flows.

I honestly think I'd give that title to 8, even without having played the Deluxe version. DD is a close second, with DS fitting somewhere around there, but 8 is just an absolute joy to play.
