Mine is DK Pass, its cool how the snowballs come towards you instead of away from you.

Here is a guideline of the tracks you can and can't do backwards.
Tracks possible to do backwards (without falling off):

NITRO
Mushroom Cup
-Figure 8 Circuit
-Yoshi Falls
-Luigi's Mansion
Flower Cup
-Desert Hills
-Delfino Square
-Shroom Ridge
Star Cup
-DK Pass
-Mario Circuit
Special Cup
-Wario Stadium
-Peach Gardens

RETRO
Shell Cup
-SNES Mario Circuit 1
-N64 Moo Moo Farm
-GBA Peach Circuit
-GCN Luigi Circuit
Banana Cup
-SNES Donut Plains 1
-N64 Frappe Snowland
-GBA Bowser Castle 2**
-GCN Baby Park
Leaf Cup
-SNES Koopa Beach 2
-N64 Choco Mountain
-GBA Luigi Circuit
-GCN Mushroom Bridge
Lightning Cup
-SNES Choco Island 2
-GBA Sky Garden
-GCN Yoshi Circuit

**Bowser Castle 2, as far as I am aware, is only possible to complete a lap if you have a mushroom, therefore, 3 mushrooms for all 3 laps.

Tracks impossible to do backwards (prove me wrong):

NITRO
Mushroom Cup
-Cheep Cheep Beach
Flower Cup
-Waluigi Pinball
Star Cup
-Tick-Tock Clock
-Airship Fortress
Special Cup
-Bowser Castle
-Rainbow Road

RETRO
Lightning Cup
-N64 Banshee Boardwalk

Be aware that what I mean by 'Tracks possible to do backwards' is that you can do 3 laps without having to fall off the edge to get to the next area. If you do not believe me about some of the tracks I can provide proof. If I have made a mistake or if you can do one of the impossible tracks, please reply.

Thanks for reading. Please reply.

I like doing Rainbow Road backwards! haha

Hey sour, what is your favorite course to do backwards that is actually possible?

Does anyone still race backwards?

I don't know. I never tried driving backwards.

Well you should for something new to do. Once you do all the possible courses backwards it gets boring though.

[anti spar]

backwards r easy

[Woohoo]

I am still on the mission levels but I like the levels driving backwards. They are kooky but I get through them. I still need to do all the cups but the missions taking me awhile.

Too bad N64 Banshee Boardwalk can't be done backwards. That's my favorite track in the game. But thanks for posting this. Sounds like a fun idea.

Yoshi Falls Rocks! Racing backwards isn't pointless, by the way!

[bluescasters]

mine is rainbow road because thatone for me is really easy to do backwards because there are so many hills and bumps and i rock at those.

[Gummymon]

Yeah, but racing a course backwards is alot better than boring Mirror mode. It's pretty much the same thing. In future Mario Kart games, they should replace Mirror mode with a Reverse mode. Racing in reverse is like racing on an entirely diffrent course.
