Yup. Said that in first post. I'm suspecting the final retro course to be either Ribbon Road or Wario Stadium since there is already a Toad Circuit.

I have updated the first post with some sweet knew footage of the Star and Leaf Cups!

I have updated the first post with videos of the Star and Leaf Cups.

I have uploaded better quality Star and Leaf Cup videos. I have also uploaded the names of the Star Cup tracks.

It wasn't... a N64 Stage... it was Rainbow Road from SNES.....

Great! First time Nintendo includes a Rainbow Road as a Retro Track!

Wait... this is just a discussion for everything about the game? Hmm... I read about this in the November's NintendoPower magazine, and I was a little concerned about it:

The player's custom karts will automatically convert to air or sea mode when necessary and then switch back when the tires return to the road.

There is absolutely not a big problem with this, as it eliminates the risk of falling off of the road, but it would make the courses much more complex than they would need to be as there would be more available elements to travel through. I suppose it'd make a nice way for shortcuts, but back to the point...

I'm the kind of person who will occasionally have a "stupid race" and I'll take a character of whom I do not like, and make them do terribly; fall off roads, hit traps, drive backward--and the best of all, do things that appear to be on accident during the replay. If these karts automatically convert, I won't be able to enjoy falling off of the road. xP Also, because he is in the roster now, Lakitu will no longer add to the humor of these comical races of mine (such as towing you back onto the track, inform you that you are driving backward...). I'm not sure I can handle taking the entire duration of the game seriously--I need a "stupid race" every now and then. xD

Check out the first thirty three or so seconds of the Star Cup video and you won;t be disappointed.

All tracks have been revealed. All track names and track order are correct. The only thing missing is videos for hte special and Lightning Cups.
