17. Yoshi Circuit

This is, somehow, my highest rated GCN track! I was gonna say that it's the first game eliminated, but then I realized that actually happened way, waaaaaay back when I put Toad's Turnpike at #46. Mario Kart 64 is my most nostalgic MK game so it's kind of funny that none of its 6 tracks really did anything huge for me in this game - and DD is the MK game I played the second most and yet same thing. Anyway Yoshi Circuit kicks ass, it's just so much more complex and interesting than any other 'Circuit' track. I really like the way that this track being a perfect silhouette of Yoshi makes it 'found art' of a sort - the track isn't even really designed, it just kind of exists the way it does because of Yoshi's shape, but it somehow comes out perfectly. There are just SO MANY turns on this track and that feels great. You're pretty much never driving straight, maybe less in this track than in any other in the game, and that just makes for a good ass track. ALSO, it's the only track that has Double Dash's basic circuit theme, which makes it kind of a big deal, much like how Royal Raceway is the only one with that theme.
