Talk:Classic course

Back in the Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii era there likely was the idea that retro course would have stayed as the name of the old courses and that they would have stayed in the same cups, making the Extra courses of Mario Kart: Super Circuit a separate thing - chronologically they were separated by Mario Kart: Double Dash!! not featuring them, after all. Nowadays though, I think it's indeed those Extra courses which were the first case of old courses in a Mario Kart game. Now that it's clear that the naming and cups they are featured in aren't that important, I think it's time to merge those courses back here, at least as a small section that then can contain a link at the Extra Cups' page. What do you think?--Mister Wu (talk) 18:45, January 30, 2021 (EST)
 * I say just merge Extra Cup here entirely. The only real differences are that the cups used for old courses changed from "Extra X" to the standard "Shell, Banana, Leaf, Lightning" setup and that Super Circuit simply had the entire track list from SMK instead of representing every past game as has been the case from DS onward. I don't think latter difference really matters much since MKSC was only the third game in the series, and being a 2D game, they obviously couldn't use MK64 tracks. The former difference is superfluous at best, especially with classic courses appearing in the MK8 DLC cups alongside new ones, which breaks the established pattern anyway. 18:57, January 30, 2021 (EST)
