Right then, the both of you make very good points. It was a lot for me to chew over, but here's my two cents on what I gathered from all this.
Basically, it's not that I don't count the non-RPG spinoffs. It's just that they are extremely hard to include without making drastic changes to the geography. If the story demands for the characters to visit those places, I'll simply include them on the map (with some reasonable tweaks, of course). Also, Koopaul, you raise a good point about how much life there is in the Mario Kart 8 tracks. If you look at a track like Wild Woods, I can honestly see that being a nice town found in one of the Kingdom's forests (possibly the Dimble Wood). With that said, I don't mind including locations from that game. As for my statement of demolishing the tracks, I didn't mean that's the case necessary. While it is inevitable that some tracks might fall into a state of disrepair and possibly bulldozed to make room for new features, that's not the case for others, such as the Moo Moo Farm tracks and the city tracks (wherever those are on the map). In the case for the latter, they probably just closed certain roads in a way that makes them full fledged racetracks. Once it's over, they simply reopen them to the public. In other words, even if the tracks do not exist anymore, the places those tracks once existed are still there.
Now, with that all said, I'm still going to do my best to include as many Mario locations in this world. While I do acknowledge that it's a lot of hard work to make it run smoothly and I don't have to do this, Kosheh, I feel like it would be worth the effort to at least give it a solid try. You see, there are some locations and characters that I honestly do want to include in my series (Thwomp Volcano, Broque Monsieur, Booster, King Boo, the Shroobs, etc.). While it is possible for me to just include the locations associated with each character and landmark, I felt like it would be a shame to just stop there and call it a day. It would even allow more chances to build the world, such as having characters make plans to a trip to Plack Beach for some surf and sand time. Plus, since this is also the reason why I made the map, I want to show certain locations from the distance (ala Super Mario Sunshine) to help establish Mario's world as a believable place. You get what I'm saying?
Anyway, I'm sorry that I unwittingly started a heated debate and I sounded like an overall worrywart. I just want to tread a little carefully and just toss ideas around to see which ones are the most effective. Overall, I appreciate the feedback from both you guys. Just hang tight as I offer completed parts and, eventually, new ideas to the table.

As for why I'm a bit antsy about using Daisy…
