Just like 38, this course found ways to infuriate me for being bad. The sole thing that saves this course from being at the dead bottom of the barrel is the fact that the design isn’t basic, which is a great change for the Mushroom Cup if done right. However, this course kind of screams try-hard to me, especially when you consider that this particular race track was based off the video game of the same name. The music that’s supposed to be creepy is just stupid as hell, those damn trees that move block your way when you are already being hindered by the mud, and the one shortcut on the track actually makes your time WORSE in a Time Trial, and that doesn’t factor in whether or not you crash into the wall (which is very likely by the way) and Spiny Shells during actual races. The point is that the dumb nature of the course ruins an idea that showed promise on paper.
And for those of you who get confused that this is a Top 38, remember that I included the 6 Battle Courses in this ranking as well as the 32 Track Courses. Also, if we can get this blog up to 75 points, I will be having 2 courses coming your way every day I am not away. That is what I will say TODAY.
