Let's go over all the DS tracks and my thoughts on each:
- Figure 8 Circuit is a less interesting version of 8's Mario Circuit. The most I could see happening is flipping the upper half upside down so you can see the racers on the "ceiling" zooming by, but I like 8MC being a Mobius strip more.
- Yoshi Falls is already in Wii. Wouldn't mind seeing it again, though. Fine track.
- Cheep Cheep Beach is already in the game lol.
- Luigi's mansion was already in 7, but it'd still be fun to see it again.
- Desert Hills is even more boring than Mario Circuit, in both its home game and Wii. Keep this thing out of my game.
- Delfino Plaza was in Wii, but you can't go wrong with this track.
- Waluigi Pinball and Shroom Ridge are already in the game lol.
- DK Pass was in 7, but I wouldn't mind seeing it back.
- Tick Tock Clock and Mario Circuit are already in the game lol.
- Airship Fortress would be cool to have back, even if it'd basically the same as it was in 7.
- Wario Stadium and Peach Gardens are already in the game lol.
- Bowser's Castle with antigrav on the spinning tube sounds cool as fuck.
- Rainbow Road was made for this game. First track to have inversions please Nintendo I beg of you-
Speaking of Waluigi Stadium, those big piranha plants... In the old game I noticed they were kind of, flattened and square? Like, they're not round like piranha plants are. It's like they were squashed flat, then stretched so they had depth restored, but the end result made them look boxy. Now, in the new version, they appear to be mechanical in nature, and I'm wondering if that was always what was intended, but the Gamecube was just bad at conveying that.
Edit: Found an image of the Piranha Plants,
and it says they were made of wood, an while I did feel they were off, I didn't get wood specifically.

They weren't meant to be real, but they were still animated...
The rusty look they have now seems to make it more obvious they're mechanical and Double Dash had Piranha Plants in it already...them being fake seemed pretty clear.
Rectangular Box-y Pipes and Flat 3D Plants.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.The interesting question came to me as to what the worst Mario games were, and after thinking about it, I think this would be my bottom 10 list:
10. Paper Mario: Sticker Star
9. Mario Party 9
8. Mario Pinball Land
7. Hotel Mario
6. Mario Teaches Typing
5. Mario Is Missing!
4. Mario's Time Machine
3. Mario's Early Years: Fun with Letters
2. Mario's Early Years: Fun with Numbers
1. Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun
Mario Party 9 is amazing and I will not accept this slander.
I don't actually think it's that great, but I think it's completely acceptable for a less competitive type of Mario Party game.
Your melody still remains in this room and it ringsProbably because "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny hit that thing pretty hard.
I never got to play Mario Party Advance, but I like what I've seen of it.
The Protomen enhanced my life.My bad, I indeed meant to say Mario Party Advance.
Like, I don't think it's bad on its own, but it definitely strays too far away from what Mario Party is meant to be. A very large number of minigames are solo-based, and the others support two players at most.
Oh, and DS is really good.

135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311

The regular Mario Circuit in Mario Kart 8 is already a more interesting take on the Figure 8 style.
It'd be a bit redundant to have another one, unlike the people complaining about the inclusion of DS Mario Circuit.
