Backwards races

[TravOnTheDs]

You may think this is pointless, but what is your favorite course to do backwards and why?

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.

Lol...you must have a lot of fun with this. But there's no way to do this against random people.... so I take it that you play with friends for this kind of stuff, right?

[TravOnTheDs]

Yeah, with friends is the funnest
The funnest tracks are: GBA Sky Garden, DK Pass and SNES Bowser Castle 2.
Thanks for reading.

It isn't, because there are some courses (like Cheep Cheep Beach, for example) that have ledges that you can only pass over going one direction (the right way); and another example of being impossible (easily noted) is Waluigi Pinball because there are many gaps that you can sail over going the right way, but impossible to go over backwards. Even if you did manage to get all the way to the top, the very beginning of that course would be impossible because the shute (thing) only goes one direction, and that is up.

I've actually been silly and driven backwards before and it is actually quite fun if you've got friends to do it with you... Otherwise they just think you're odd, haha.

It's all good fun though.

[TravOnTheDs]

Thanks for clearing that up LadyHood. And M2W, those courses are impossible to do backwards without falling off, what are some of your favorites you can complete?

[melissa84]

My favorite backwards course is Wario Stadium. I've done all the courses with at least a one star rating, so I've completed them enough that I don't really see any as "hard" or "impossible" anymore.

[Jimmy]

I enjoy doing races backwards or just driving backwards in general. haha
