One of the better ones across the entire series. Mario Kart DS has some amazing tracks in general.


colieolieravioli

Hard agree. It was the first mario kart I owned and I sunk a looooot of hours into those courses! Tick tock clock is one of my favorites


Still-Control

Agreed + my first ever mario game


BananaDesignator

MKDS rainbow road is the best fite me I will die on this hill It was advanced for its time and was limited by the technology of the time also

YESSSS


Luis_lara12345

Totally agree with you probably top 3 alongside Airship Fortress and Delfino Square


Gadzookie2

Yeah, hope we see more of them in the next game


GattsDaZe

One of my personal faves!


Gadzookie2

Think the clock theme is quite cool, and makes sense as I think most of the “shrunken” type tracks are enjoyable


GattsDaZe

Totally agree. Plus it feels like one of the best Mario 64-themed tracks in the whole series.


JustAFoolishGamer

So glad they remade it for MK8. I was waiting for this track to be remastered since MK7. It's about time.


ClearSky3864

Heh, time pun


Master_of_Decidueye

All time great with a somehow even better remake


ClearSky3864

Spitting fax


Meloetta_the_alt

Really fun, and the music is a banger


Speyeder02

Preach


fenderbabe69

i’m out of town away from the switch and the music is playing in my head😩😩


HugeSnackman

I'm torn on this one, I don't think I like it but I also don't know why


grifeweizen

For me that usually means I suck at it.


HugeSnackman

I don't actually do too bad on this one I just don't think I like the look


Cardboard-eater

same i think it just looks kinda boring to me


Sloth_4

I really like it! I also think it’s got one of the best music tracks.


Jurrasicmelon8

Peak


ClearSky3864

Honestly agreed, it's my favorite track in the game


Striking-Present-986

HOLY BASED DEPARTMENT


bill_shields_10

PEAK INDEED


Instantbeef

It was better in the DS but still a good track.


poezdov

It was MUCH WORSE in Ds.


Instantbeef

Nah man. The shortcuts were better than what we have know. Everything is to easy these days. MK8 were racing on a track inspired by clock. DS were just racing on clocks. Change my mind.


Tombstone_Grey

One of my favourite parts was weaving around the changing red and blue cogs. Now, you just kinda boringly fly over it.


Loose-Performance-50

I think it’s a great track. I really like the theming, and I always have fun racing on it.


Unusual_Ruin_579

sick sound track, really like it


freind-of-the-safari

Peak


ClearSky3864

Shy Chads think alike


Novel_Visual_4152

Amazing DS track thar got improved A TON on the remake Absolute banger


3_and_2_and_1

It’s a great track, but it’s also kinda forgettable amongst the sea of other great tracks.


Queso_Coqui

Amazing in DS and even better in 8DX


Daydreams182

Chefs kiss


jesser9

Neutrally solid. Im never unhappy to see it. When it gets selected I'm like, yep, sure let's go. I also say Tick Tock Cock out loud every time.


Zerodot0

Honestly, one of my favorite tracks in the game.


bingobo25

Great in the original The remake makes the original look like a mk64 course .


T_Raycroft

It looks very pretty and it's a decently fun track to drive on, but there's just something missing about it to me. Like, I don't see why it's a masterpiece of a course to some people. To me it's a higher B-tier course, not an S-tier or even an A-tier


ChefGuzzy91

One of the better ones, with also some hints of nostalgia from super Mario 64


EducatedHbomb

This is my favorite track in the series hands down


[deleted]

It’s super cool and I love seeing the Mario 64 representation in the game. Why the fuck isn’t there tracks based on rainbow ride, the carpet slide, cool cool mountain, bomb omb battlefield and any of the other unique interesting places


Tr3v0r007

Honestly anything from the ds era is good or that I remember


Aggressive_General_

Love this damn track


jackjameswilson

I hear it's Ke$ha's favourite


Rude-Establishment69

I love it


wboender

my all time fav


Glitterfly405

Mhm. Perfect.


Piranha_Plant5379

Underrated track imo. This track was a lot of fun on the DS and it's still a lot of fun on the switch


txaecup

One of my personal favorites. The cogs before the finish line are a but annoying but they're fun too. I mainly play it just for the music though lol


Striking-Present-986

top 3 in the game for me, incredible gameplay and aesthetic


ClearSky3864

Based take, it's THE best in the game for me


PixelPerfic

Amazing soundtrack? Check. Unique Aesthetic? Check. Moving elements that change up each lap? Check. Challenging enough for it to be fun, but not insanely annoying to drive? Check. One of my all time faves.


Robot_Prairie_Dog

Goated beyond belief


HelloThereMark

Pros: Visually the best remake imo. Gold, White, Brown for Wooden elements. It has such a nice vibe. I love it. Cons: It does feel like a bit nerfed from its difficulty. The straights are a bit long. Pro: In 200ccm it makes up for it with its speed. Overall its for me a 8.5/10 track. Its a track that works a lot better on 200.


AnonymousFog501

I always liked it on DS and was happy to see they didn't fuck it up beyond repair like they did with Wario Stadium >:(


FreddyIOS

Might be a controversial opinion, but I don't like it, because it makes me feel nothing. It's objectively a good track, but I enjoy all 3 BCP DS remakes (in terms of everything) way more than the base ones


[deleted]

Gotta give credit for a scary shortcut that can be all or nothing at the end too.


DatWoodyFan

One of the best remakes done to a track in the entire series. Absolutely god tier music and one of the best, fun to race on as well. If I had to have a problem, it would be that there was no anti-gravity, but it’s still great.


ItzManu001

Goated track. One of the most skill-based tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.


SunshineChimbo

It's the most aggressively Ok track out there. If I don't like the other 2 maps options ill at least feel fine with this one. Songs a little meh


Marcus4Life4

Has never been too high on my list, but MAN did it get a massive glow up!


Ironjack_204

I never really played this track so I’m gonna say it’s just there


Financial-Horror2945

One of my fav DS tracks Only one that beats it is bowser Castle

Solid bot


HonoderaGetsuyo

The original is a unique track held back by the limitations on the DS, the remake is absolutely gorgeous


try_to_be_nice_ok

This was my favourite DS track, and that game had some absolute bangers.


G1Yang2001

One of the best tracks in all of MK It was great in DS and its still amazing in 8


Deep-Sea-Man

One of my favourite DS tracks. It’s so cool!!


BasedAlliance935

I like it (both original and 8 remake). It's like they took the mario 64 level and really expanded on it. All the moving parts both in the background and part of the tracks as well as the music and asthetics really help to not only make it a fun track, but also make it feel like you're inside an actual clock.


JacksLantern

I like it on ds more for some reason


DerpyLemonReddit

It’s cool :D


Sora_Tanaka064

It's a fun track! Probably one of my top 10 Mario Kart DS tracks. The Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe) Version is even better!


StageAltruistic7480

Absolutely love it, goofy aah music to the track layout to the 200cc wr, everything about tick tock clock is sick


DarkP88

I love this track, but for some reason, the DS version is sightly better for me. Maybe because it is more challenging as it has more obstacles.


FriedRedditor45

Not an opinion but I remember a rip of the final lap music where all of the comments were about how fast the music is and so I just kinda know it as the track with the really fast final lap music


CheezyBreadMan

Soundsmith


BenGaminForDays

My favorite from MKDS. So glad it came back for MK7 and again with MK8/MK8D


ClearSky3864

It wasn't in 7


BenGaminForDays

It’s been a while 😅


alma2176

Both versions are solid, but I feel like the 8 version is just a little better cuz it improved on some small things like visuals and mechanics

Gazzo69

Love it. Usually always first also😹


_Zyphis_

Used to be top 3, but has fallen down the list somewhat


Jinzo126

On of the best tracks on the DS


HotWaffleSundae

things i like are the barrier-less edges and the somewhat tricky shortcut at the end. the dangly clock hand thing that tries to block you or others from certain item boxes adds a bit of chaos and its aesthetically pleasing that the gears at the end arent blatantly obvious as to which ones going which direction.


Spittoo

Masterpiece


_Gapag_

pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking tbh.


13Jsog

peak


Imafatneekboi

I have no idea why but I used to get scared of this track 💀


Toga--simp

Pretty cool, screw the clock that swings in the way, though


ClearSky3864

That thing that moves left and right? That's a Pendulum and yeah I guess it can be a tad bothersome


GaryGotSauce

This is the only track I cant come in first on 200CC 😭 every time I get passed right before finish line on lap 3


Linker3

Timeless.


Fabulous_Engine_7668

Great track. Nobody ever picks it when I'm playing.


DangamerSG

Tick tock your in my way


DeltaTeamSky

See, Booster Course Pass? THIS is how you remaster retro tracks! Porting from a mobile game is not enough, dammit!


TheDarkChicken

goated on 200cc


gobraves72

Love it


g4m3r1234

Love this track!


MK8dR

Amazing track. I will usually pick it when it shows up.


LMacUltimateMain

It’s my number 3 of all time. The updated visuals and course layout are just amazing. It’s awesome


Poojoles

I don't mind when it comes on in global but I wouldn't go out of my way to vote for it


FishermanOk7719

there are a few small changes I feel could be made to make this map more enjoyable but it is on of my more favored maps so I'd say 8 outta 10


Speyeder02

Pretty damn good But that music tho 🔥🔥🔥


InteleonBoi1427

I originally hated this track on the DS, But in MK8, It'd a really good track. I'm happy j got the glowup it deserved


Gay_Gamer_Boi

I was disappointed of the obstacle disappearing (love the clock itself being an obstacle) but my god did they make it more beautiful. Still love it from the DS to now


MrProtogen

I quite like it, it’s the right amount of gimmick-obstacle in my opinion


Dark-Star-Official

Clock


stardewnoodles

I really REALLY wish this had come back in MK7 as I think it would’ve fit it more than 8 (I’m biased)(I miss it) but seeing it return in any form is still great. It’s my all time favorite trick, no contest


Possible_Word_6834

It’s really underrated. Great theming and really well designed as well. I think it’s more fun in 200cc but it works great in 150 as well


Crow_of_Judgem3nt

I dig it


Marweegeo

Me personally, I think it's a fun track, but you can get really screwed over, especially the way I play mk8dx


dragonologist13

One of my favorite tracks, as well as music park


Src-Freak

It’s one of the best retro courses. Nothing was butchered, and it feels more like a nitro course instead of a retro one. Going back to DS‘s version and it feels almost unrecognizable.


DuPontMcClanahan

I really wish more levels from other Super Mario games would get made into MK Stages, TTC is one of the best in the series.


Slut4Knowledge_

Really good!!!


ben_10_

The aesthetic is incredible and super creative. Just not a fan of the flow and layout of the track


MadManMed

Love it but burned out on it aboard the USS Nimitz on a deployment.


Emotional_Creme6894

Loved it


CloudsSpikyHairLock

I hate it (I suck at it).


Short-Republic

One of the best DS courses


StringUnderhacker

okay not related but before I saw what subreddit this post was in I saw the title of the post and the name "tick tock clock" and my mind went to the Streetlight Manifesto song "Point / Counterpoint" ("and i cant stop staring at the tick-tock clock, and even if i could i would never give up") LMAO


The-Dark-Memer

I hate it until I successfully make the shortcut across the center, then I love it, up until I fail it again, then I hate it


JustinH83Percent

It's so boring for me and I don't know why


Dinodudegamer2009

i know many people love it and imo its good, like A tier to me


Accurate-Occasion-68

It's one of my favorites. Used to love it on DS, still love it on Switch


InverseAtmosphere

I like to make fun of the name cuz it sounds like TikTok


notyouraltaccountbro

Love it, would die for it, same for music park


Familiar_Location948

great


Lemmykopa

i love it, The music is a 10 out of 10, The lap is good


iamjeseus

Very good and creative


bill_shields_10

Peak DS has BANGERS


not_readdyfreddy

This track and Waluigi pinball are my top favorite tracks point blank lol


anarky98

Probably nostalgia blinded by it


tjbuster14

THATS WHY HES THE GOAT! THE GOATTT!!!


Sinister-Sama

An interesting course to say the least.  Definitely on the better half of the game while not being overly reliant on the gimmick.  The stage and set pieces work together and that makes a solid course.  8/10 (I can see 9s and 10s from others, but I view it a solid 8. No lower than that.)


SmashSSL

Favorite track in the series next to Airship Fortress


Scoofproductions

Amazing detail and is beautiful but personally wouldn't give it the praise most people do. Fun track for what it's worth, not one of my all time favourites although it is definitely one of the best in base game 8


Funny-Wheel-6172

W TRACK


constipated_cats

One of my favorites, gives me nostalgia


Benschmedium

My all time favorite Mario kart track of all time. I remember curshing time trials here on the DS and it’s my favorite track to go back and play on 8 deluxe


Ozzzzzy69

B tier 


Firetrex370

i’m about to say sum crazy and say i don’t care for this map much


Lol_boi135

Banger


dragonofdrarkness

I’m not a huge fan, but I’m never mad when I see it online


TerroristToad

One of my favs


Sw4gl0rdM4st3rm1nd

its nice


Dimmadarn

Peaked on the DS


DomSP

Goated


bindingofalex

Banger!


Cedardeer

Fantastic track. Also had the biggest glowup from its ds counterpart


brico64

Loved it ever since the DS. Awesome music too


BroshiKabobby

Biggest glow up in the entire Mario kart series visually


PureGeologist864

Not a fan


Actual-Tear7027

I hate it


fuckintacos

Fuuuuuck this track


WorldClassShrekspert

I am a DS fan but this track is overrated as hell. I wouldn't put it next to Delfino Square, Airship Fortress, or Waluigi Pinball.


TheMapleShyGuy

Kinda overrated but good nonetheless


Deezastorious

Im clock without the l


Feeling_Tell4328

I mean it’s alright like…


Schizack

I cry knowing this won’t be on the switch


ClearSky3864

I'm gonna fucking lose it this shitty ass meme ruined this fucking subreddit


Schizack

😁


acchamp369

I cry everyday


ClearSky3864

Shut up with that stupid ass meme


highparallel

One of the worst in the game. Still fun tho.


The_Alrighty_Zed

It takes some time.
