So, everyone loves a nice little rural market themed track, and- OH LOOK, DS TO THE RESCUE!
So, I’m sure many of you have played the title Mario Kart DS for the…do I really need to say the console it was on? 🤔
Okay fine… it was on the Nintendo DS🙄
Mario Kart DS featured many tracks that were excellent, not many of them were remotely bad *cough* except SNES Choco Island where the dirt and mud physics were just… no.Â
However, we aren’t here for that track, we are here for Delfino Square. Delfino Square is a simple track for the Flower Cup in the nitros class. The tracks actually very good looking in the original despite using flat 2d textures to represent majority of the things going on. The tracks layout is simple, and takes place in a city market. Your first greeted at the start of the race by a straightaway, then you meet the actual square where you race around a fountain. Then, you race through the village, going down narrow pathways down 2 separate lanes. Your then in the martke region, where there are stands jutting from the walls of building holding the “goods” of the market as an obstacle, with some boxes scattered throughout.
There’s 3 shortcuts, which makes the track a little less linear, but it’s still a tad bit linear even with the shortcuts and separate paths. The linearity of the track really isn’t that bothersome. The track also has a Wii remake, but to save breath I’ll sum up that version simply down below.
The Wii remake of the track is majorly the same, with everything being fully 3d modeled whereas the original utilized flat textures for many of the sites.
So in all fairness, this tracks simply good. There isn’t much to complain about with this one. My rating for the two tracks are the same, so you can find it below:
Original & Remake: 8.5/10
Day 57 of commenting on stuff have a good day and keep up the great work on the post.
