Mod edit : it seems the original post of this thread vanished. Here are the main abbreviations we'll be going with for the track :

Mario Kart Stadium (MKS)

Sweet Sweet Canyon (SSC)

Sunshine Airport (SA)

Electrodrome (Ed)
Mount Wario (MW)

Cloudtop Cruise (CC)
Bone-Dry Dunes (BDD)
Bowser's Castle (BC)
Rainbow Road (RR)

Wii Moo Moo Meadows (rMMM)
GBA Mario Circuit (rMC)
DS Cheep Cheep Beach (rCCB)
N64 Toad's Turnpike (rTT)

GCN Dry Dry Desert (rDDD)
SNES Donut Plains 3 (rDP3)
N64 Royal Raceway (rRRy)
3DS DK Jungle (rDKJ)

DS Wario Stadium (rWS)
GCN Sherbet Land (rSL)
3DS Music Park (rMP)
N64 Yoshi Valley (rYV)

DS Tick-Tock Clock (rTTC)
3DS Piranha Plant Slide (rPPS)
Wii Grumble Volcano (rGV)
N64 Rainbow Road (rRRd)

--------------------------------------

N64 Royal Raceway and N64 Rainbow Road should be done the same way they're done in MK64, which would give rRRy and rRRd for MK8. Also, I think you meant rMMM for Wii Moo Moo Meadows, not rMMW. Roll Eyes

Mick Ninja Offline 6045 days karting France Gender:	Re: MK8 course abbreviations Reply #6 - 05/18/14 at 02:38:05 One of my buddies suggested using RRW for Royal RaceWay, just like we use ED for ElectroDrome. Imo this looks better and is a bit more intuitive than RoR or RRy, but I can see why we would stick to the MK64 long-established abbreviations, if only for consistency. On another note, where did the first post go again ? Lol

ALAKTORN Myth Offline Resident weeaboo 6519 days karting Italy - Viserba Gender:	Re: MK8 course abbreviations Reply #7 - 05/18/14 at 02:57:25 I think using RRW/RR would be potentially confusing, with RRy and RRd you can’t go wrong; it’s not that hard to understand: just add the last letter in lower case I agree RRy and RRd look a bit shit, but it’s to avoid confusion

N64 Yoshi Valley (rYV)

DS Tick-Tock Clock (rTTC)
3DS Piranha Plant Slide (rPPS)
Wii Grumble Volcano (rGV)
N64 Rainbow Road (rRRd)

A lowercase “d” in Ed seems more consistent with RRy/RRd as it's not the first letter of a word in the actual track name. On a side note, this time the American/European differences are:

• US: Toad Harbor / UK: Toad Harbour
• US: Bone-Dry Dunes / UK: Bone Dry Dunes
• US: 3DS Music Park / UK: 3DS Melody Motorway
• US: 3DS Piranha Plant Slide / UK: 3DS Piranha Plant Pipeway
(official American website: http://mariokart8.nintendo.com/tracks/ ; official UK website: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/Mario-Kart-8-765384.html )

Despite official sources mentioning “Bone Dry Dunes”, there's actually a dash in the American version of the game, “Bone-Dry Dunes”. (1st pic from GameXplain's video in America, 2nd pic from me in Europe)

^the dash makes a lot more sense, grammatically speaking. when I typed out the name I wanted to put in the dash, but since I didn’t see it on the official website I didn’t put it

I agree with those abbreviations except you put “RR” instead of “RRd”

edit: omg I didn’t even remember there were 2 RRd in this game… uh… rRRd looks so silly

~~Yeah, I wonder why it doesnt have a number but w/e.~~ oops not smk

Why not cup names (bRR, lRR) kind of like the R for retro..? _{okay maybe not}
Thats just a suggestion though, RRy and RRd are fine I guess.
