This is probably the most enjoyable and consistent cup. It has perfect balance, some of the best tracks in 8 and perfect difficulty balance. Like N64 Rainbow Road is my least favorite in here, but still an s tier. N64 rainbow road is the most deserving retro track to get remade. Grumble volcano was one of the perfect tracks to put before a rainbow road (its also criminally underrated). This track also has my fav track in 8: tick tock clock. So yeah, this cup is such a perfect retro cup.

Tbh I think the main issues people have with N64’s rainbow road is that the track was both shortened AND turned into one lap, making it one of the shortest tracks in the series. Really, if they wanted to make it one big lap, they could have kept the length of the original N64 RR instead, but a much better solution would just be having a 2 lap race instead. Still really like the track though

Maybe they could've also done the Tour thing where it's 3 completely different laps, but that might've been too much of a departure. Would've been really fun if the final lap had an immediate hard left into a glider as a really fun reference to that one shortcut everyone knows from the original.
