Are The Wave 4 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course DLC Tracks Good? | Level By Level
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2024
- Mario Kart 8 deluxe, after 5 years of being the Nintendo switch’s best selling game, is finally getting DLC in the form of the booster course pass. This is going to be bringing 48 retro tracks to mario kart deluxe from super mario kart, mario kart 64, mario kart super circuit, mario kart double dash, mario kart DS, mario kart wii, mario kart 7, and mario kart tour! The fourth wave of the dlc dropped a few days ago containing two cups, the Fruit cup and Boomerang cup. That brought over a total of 8 tracks, Amsterdam Drift, Riverside Park, DK Summit, Yoshi’s Island, Bangkok Rush, Mario Circuit DS, Waluigi Stadium, and Singapore Speedway. In today’s episode of level by level we're going to take a look at all 8 of these tracks to see if they’re good or bad retro tracks and put them in a tier list! Oh and there are now going to be new characters like Birdo, neat!

To all of you Mario Circuit DS fans,
While I still may not be a huge fan of the track, at least we can all agree it’s a WAY better choice than figure 8 circuit
Edit: errrrrrrrrm awkward somehow I forgot to put rock rock mountain and Merry mountain on the tier list, just imagine they’re in the exact same spots from last wave……
Did you know they buffed certain characters? Yes, Waluigi-Wiggler is dead, so the new meta is Rosalina-TeddyBuggy (yes that stinks) but they also buffed Dry Bones, and he started getting some time trial world records, so that's great😅
I would say mario circuit DS is one of the better dlc tracks, certainly not s but i liked it enough to be high B
Also: the piranha plants aim so good they are a good challenge
And theres a wiggler, a reference to mkDS mission mode!
yeah the best mario circuit
You were still too harsh on it just because Circuit is in the name
True
DS Mario Circuit is that track we all want to hate on but can’t not admit it’s actually pretty decent
Tbh if this wasn’t the third basic circuit I think I’d like it more, but in context it’s just very annoying
@@Odyssey_Centralnot really though whenever it simply isn’t basic. It’s the most diverse circuit track (not counting Hyrule) in not just the BCP but base MK8 and it plays great with several cool course elements with unique ones like the sleeping and waking wigglers and Fire Piranha Plants, not to mention several big off-road shortcuts.
@@Odyssey_Central yea I get what you mean
It should've taken either Toad Circuit's or Mario Circuit 3's place. I'm not unhappy with it since it is a pretty good track, it just should've come earlier
@@keksidycompletely agree about taking Toad Circuit’s place. Truly have no idea why they included it because it feels like an absolute waste
Honestly I just hope Toad gets multiple colours next wave
They should've been there from the beginning
@@micahheyward5342 koopa too
Agreed...
YEAH!
And toadette
Let’s not forget to mention nearly every character and vehicle got buffed, meaning we won’t have to worry about the scary purple Luigi riding a dreaded caterpillar ever again
It’s actually insane how not one soul was using it when I went online the day after the tracks dropped
But now it’s gonna be rosa on teddy or a cat car
@@crumplycashew7095 Mainly the teddy
@@crumplycashew7095 Actually MOST combos are viable now. This update actually really helped balance the game a lot more and gives you a lot more choice in your builds. Which is how it should be!
@@crumplycashew7095 Cringe*
I think it’s important to acknowledge how dynamic the music on Singapore Speedway is. In the Chinatown section on laps 2 and 3, the instruments change to give the music a more oriental feel, and I think that’s absolutely sick
Makes me wanna visit the city looks so pretty
I knew I wasn't going crazy! I knew the music changed when I drove through that section!
the text on the banner before you enter translates to chinatown too
I think this is S tier. I really love the music!
Singapore Speedway is an S for me. While a lot of tour tracks are kinda straight up boring, Singapore is anything but that. There’s a lot of gliding and changes in the y-axis which I think is fun. The chinatown has its own unique theme and aesthetic and I love how you drive through it twice. And of course, the music is a straight up bop. I think the music is a huge improvement from the tour rendition. I’d say this course is up there with Yoshi’s Island and 3DS Rainbow Road
yes
Yep.
Exactly! One of my friends puts in S With Maple Treeway.
Yeah boy!
Same
A shockingly good wave. This DLC has become so good and something to really look forward to after wave 1’s relatively rocky start.
You know what's funny, when playing these tracks with friends, a lot of them said that DS Mario Circuit was one of their favorites in the wave because it was really fun to drive and the layout was more challenging than most circuit tracks.
I completely agree, when a circuit track has an interesting layout it becomes super satisfying to drive on for me
The last circuit track (forget what it's called) is one of my favourite tracks.
Also it's visually beautiful
At least for me, Singapore Speedway is a high A tier, it has so much high energy and changes of scenery, the water fountains, the rooftop pools, Chinatown, the conveyor belt at the start of lap three and the subsequent jump across the giant flower structure, the night setting along the fantastic music also helps it. Of all the city tracks so far, this one feels the most like it could be a Special Cup original without being based on a real city.
As for Bangkok Rush, I feel that the lack of "scenery" is made up for how tricky the track can be in many of its turns, for me is mid-to-high B.
I totally agree with your opinion on Amsterdam Drift.
Singapore highway feels homely too
Now that we have Singapore,Where’s Vatican City?
5:35 If you were to use a lightning item, all the plants will drop their items, which I find really cool
I just wish Riverside Park had a glider section, where you could glide over the piranha plants to take their items.
That could’ve been a really neat touch! Not sure where to throw it in but it could be really fun
@@Odyssey_Centralin tour they had it, where the waterfall was IIRC
@@ToadDuck Only in the T version
@@Odyssey_Central Maybe on Lap 3, the track turns from its normal version to Tour's T variant. Which does include a glider ramp, just before the waterfall at the end.
@@Odyssey_Central Maybe there could be bigger piranha plants near the finish line, then we could glide out of the cave? If you were forced out of your glider then you would drop down, which would mean avoiding massive pirahna plants.
I just gotta say Oddysey, I absolutely love your smash bros, Minecraft, Mario maker and super Mario oddysey vidoes, but your Mario Kart ones just top everything.
Your jokes, roasts and the way you structure these booster course pass reviews, it’s a joy to watch. I don’t know how many times I’ve rewatched these videos but there aren’t that many channels they have such fun to watch reviews.
Also, didn’t you complain about Birdo in your Mario Kart 8 deluxe nitpicks video? Hmm
@L1xenPlayz do you have proof he isn’t? Didn’t think so
@L11111xen come on man, have you not watched the video of him pitching the idea to nintendo?
@L1xenPlayz No he did, I was there
Just saying, have you seen Odyssey Central and Doug Bowser in the same place?
@kwisowofer have you seen Odyssey Central and Shigeru Miyamoto in one place either? Is it possible that Odyssey Central is both Doug Bowser and Miyamoto?
I adore how chaotic and extreme dk summit turned out. Its such a buggy broken mess in the bcp (even compared to wii) and its absolutly amazing to play on
Very true to the original game then :)
HOW DID DK SUMMIT (or Snowboard Cross for you nerds out there) BECOME NOT JUST AS, BUT EVEN MORE JANK THAN THE WII VERSION!?
@@possumorb3770hat’s what I’m saying, and imo in this case it isn’t a good thing. Like I completely understand that this game’s physics engine was not made with half pipes in mind but the end of DK summit is just like…. Who decided that was functional enough to ship out. Like really, especially on 200cc it’s sometimes so frustrating how inconsistent and buggy it is. (To clarify the Wii version is in my top 5 favorite tracks ever. I’m alright with change but man these MK8DX half pipes are just not it lol)
I think all your character predictions will come true, but I’m not sure about R.O.B./King Bob-omb. One of the Tour tracks likely to be ported is a track called Piranha Plant Cove, and the track honors Petey Piranha a lot. We might see him as the final character instead
R.O.B would be freakin hilarious and amazing to see come back tho 😂
Totally forgot about the petey piranha track, yeah I’d replace king Bob-omb with him lmao
@@Odyssey_Central I'm Surprised You say that because Super Mario 64 is the only 3D Mario Game to not be represented in Mario kart 8. And you've said multiple times that Mario 64 is one of your favorite games. So Who Do you still perfer? King Bob-omb,Or Petey Piranha?
@@noahppinkrevailTick Tock Clock is from Mario 64 tho 🤨
@@dillongeorge5866 Don’t think Funky Kong Is gonna make it.
@@noahppinkrevaileven if that’s the case, King Bob-Omb is not gonna be his replacement…
I think these courses will get better with age. Especially since there are already some cool shortcuts found in the new Tour tracks, and even one added to Berlin Byways in This wave.
Also there was a balance patch this wave, Dry Bones is a Top Tier character now
By the way as usual all the tracks are based on their Tour counterparts, including Yoshi's Island which was datamined for Tour ages ago
I mention this because this is obviusly the case for GBA Riverside Park too, however the Ptooies weren't there originally, so even in that department the tracks are getting better
Also you can turn of the controls menu in the NSO apps in the respective settings menues
You can actually do the whole DK Summit double cut without mushrooms even in 150cc
While I understand how boring it can be for there to be another circuit track in the new dlc, i think that it adds a uniqueness that can't be felt on its own, because with over 60 tracks now, it's refreshing to have some simple roads to drive on, especially if you're a fan of more "realistically" designed courses that tone down the whackyness. Are they my favorite, no, but I enjoy the simple breakup between all the rush.
I actually like DS Mario Circuit a lot, it's an A-tier track for me and is my second-favorite circuit in the game behind Yoshi Circuit and just ahead of Royal Raceway. I like circuit tracks when they're done well and I think it's a pretty common opinion that DS MC is among the best in the series layout-wise, so I'm very happy it made it in. I definitely know that I'm in the minority here, but a good circuit track can be super satisfying to drive on in my opinion
I’d like to point out that you didn’t necessarily describe the novelty of China town in Singapore Speedway.
Not only does it change the aesthetic a little bit but the music changes while you’re driving in it. It’s not just a “generic city portion” like you claimed, even if the layout of Chinatown portion is not ecstatic
I wanted Bangkok Rush and Singapore Highway when I played them on Tour like a couple of months back. I was very shocked at how fun they were. But I didn't expect to see both of them on wave 4!
The other tracks were very fun too. There's something I really enjoyed about Mario Circuit DS. Waluigi Stadium and DK Summit speak for themselves.
Thanks for even more great content Odyssey, can’t wait for wave 5!
Some things I would like to point out that weren't mention In the video.
On Bangkok Rush there is a hidden grass shortcut where on the gliding section after the statue in the middle, if you go right and make it over the fence into the grass patch start a drift to the right and mushroom to Skip the turn after the glider section when going normally.
DS Mario circuit has a shortcut in the forest section by cutting through the trees.
And the gravity paths on Waluigi Stadium are sadly not faster to what the WR found out.
Maybe I’m just easy to please but Singapore Speedway might actually be one of my favourite tracks in the game
Yay! I didn't look at the tracks so your video would be the first I've heard from them, and they're incredible!
One interesting thing about each wave is it’s like they’ve teased the potential of a feature in each wave and it’s been expanded the next wave. Ninja Hideaway teased decent graphics in Wave 1 (the only bad example I have), but Wave 2 teased anti grav in Sky-High Sundae, while several tracks had it well implemented in Wave 3, Wave 3 teased half pipes with 2 total while wave 4 had 2 tracks that went nuts with them and you could say wave 4 teased the new characters with 1 (Birdo), while, if they release the rest of them per-wave, we’ll get 2 and 3 characters in the next 2 waves.
Amazing video, the tracks are so phenomenal, incredible work Odyssey!
I'm always looking forward to these videos and I was very excited to see it pop up on my yt
Another level by level ==! This series is so awesome and this video was no exception. Keep up the good work!
20:48
Honestly I’ll be real, when you said “you know what’s not solid though..?”
I got scared thinking that you were going to say that the music was not good, but when you said that “it’s way TOO good!” I sighed of relief, I liked the music track a lot as well when I played this course for the first time. But honestly I’m super excited for what’s going to happen for waves 5 and 6!
21:29 also this was pretty funny to me
In Tour, Bangkok Rush actually has Inky Piranha Plants, which spit black liquid on the ground, which is basically just oil slicks, but your screen gets covered in ink like from a blooper if you drive through them. Instead you just have the random chompy boys under the bridge on Laps 1 and 3, instead of a brand new enemy type
Being sick at home, your video enlightened me. Thanks!
I’ve been waiting for this video, you make awesome Mario kart vids man!
Level by Level is still my favorite series to watch, and I become legit hyped, especially for these Mario Kart videos.
I personally hope they add some more battle courses in the later waves, I don't play battle mode very much myself but it would make it much more interesting for the people that do and would give me more incentive to do so myself. If they do end up doing that, my most-wanted picks would be Wii Funky Stadium and N64 Double Deck (even though neither of them are in Tour)
Gotta say I only have the Wii U MK8 with the original DLC cups since until now I wasn’t too impressed with the booster courses, but seeing how great these two cups are makes me want to buy the game and courses even with my low bank account. I agree with your S tier picks and I even am really interested in the one you dismissed. Like all 3 city courses impressed me and I have a special place in my heart for DS Mario Circuit so this stacked list of hit after hit might force me to make bad decisions with my money again
These courses are available to play online without needing to purchase it (:
fun fact: R.O.B. was the first non-mario universe character in mario kart
Pac man, Mrs pac man and blinky
I always just liked Wii DK Summit but replaying it in this wave made me LOVE it 😭❤️ The music, the snowy setting, the half-pipes, the snowboarding shy guys... like wow that track is so good
Half pipes are my favorite! It used to be a favorite and I think I like it more than all the 96 tracks though I’m not sure because not all has been released yet I always end with DK summit on every vs race because it is so good I use it as a grand ending
I can’t imagine how they would top that😂😂🎉🎉
Even though I don’t play Mario Kart, I still enjoy these videos. Keep up the good work!
I love DS Mario circuit, it is so awesome imo, all the shortcuts (and the skill ceiling on the forest section shortcuts), the music, the aesthetic, so good. Easily one of my top ten tracks.
I just noticed, with every wave, the amount of S Tiers in your list (at least initially) matches the wave number
Wave 1 only has 1 with Ninja Hideaway, Wave 2 has 2 with Kalimari Desert and Waluigi Pinball, Wave 3 had 3 with Maple Treeway, Peach Gardens and 3DS Rainbow Road (though now Boo Lake is in S), and Wave 4 has 4 with the last 3 tracks of the fruit cup and Waluigi Stadium.
If this continues, then Waves 5 and 6 are gonna be phenomenal
Finally someone else who enjoys Riverside park as much as I do. I see so many lists have it as a bad course. It may be short but its so fun to drift around and the ptooies are so great.
17:56
I love this shortcut as I always wanted them to include a shortcut through the halfpipes like in Sonic Riders.
Controversial opinion I'm sure, but DS Mario Circuit is my favorite track of this wave. It and Riverside Park are just too fun to race on and the shortcuts and aesthetic are so so good. Honestly I think getting some more simple circuit tracks in these waves is a good thing to help break up the cups and provide variety. I just think the choices have been mid until now. We should have gotten Daisy Circuit instead of Toad Circuit. SNES Mario 3 can stay I guess, and DS Mario Circuit is great so if we had to only get 3 circuit tracks those are the 3 I would have picked.
I’d prefer Mario Circuit 4 over 3 simply because it’s the only one that hasn’t been remade outside of Super Circuit but I respect your opinion nonetheless
rewatching these now that the entire dlc is out. I love how (nearly) dead on you were with the character predictions.
I've been waiting for this video!
My top 8:
8: DS Mario Circuit
7: Riverside Park GBA
6: Tour Amsterdam Drift
5: Waluigi Stadium GCN
4: Tour Singapore Speedway
3: DK Summit Wii
2: Bangkok Rush Tour
1: Yoshi’s Island
I look forward to these videos every wave!
I seem to maintain an unpopular opinion about the city courses. With some exception, I think that most of them are great fun in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Anyway, DK Summit is my favorite. I loved this in Mario Kart Wii, and it's just as fun in this game. Yoshi's Island comes very close behind.
I'm mildly indifferent to Amsterdam Drift, but love both Bangkok Rush and Singapore Speedway. Bangkok in particular has a banger section with the parking garage.
Between all the fun tracks and Birdo now joining the roster, this is a great wave of Booster Course Pass. Nice stuff, Odyssey.
couldn't wait for this upload :)!
Was excited to see this video! I absolutely Adore this wave and you actually actually have the same most wanted track as me right now for the BCP , that being Airship Fortress :D but hey, who knows... The next cup is the Feather Cup so 👀 you know.. Flying stuff.. Airship Fortress 🤩? Idk maybe I'm on copium, but I hope I'm not :) .
Fun Fact, you also have the exact same character predictions as I have for the Booster Course Pass, LET'S HOPE WE'RE RIGHT 🤞💜🤞🌟
(edit) : Oh and I mean the last cup being the Spiny Cup- and I know people are saying we might get like 4 rainbow roads to represent the difficulty to fit the Spiny Blue Shell but I'm sure it will be different, or at least I can very well see them just doing normal tracks, so in the Spiny, Acorn or Feather cup I feel like Airship Fortress, is definitely a viable option here. Like, for feather becuz of flying airship, Spiny becuz of Bowser shell + final levels of the Mario World games + its the final cup (kind of a reach) and Acorn Cup becuz propeller stuff + Mario World Wii Final levels. anyways I 'm grasping at straws here but I just want to find a valid reason to have it so badly 😩💜⭐
Originally, I thought this wave was a step down from 3 but that was mainly due to 3DS Rainbow Road and Maple Treeway's backs hurting from carrying. After a bit, I came to realise these were a great selection. The city courses while still not amazing are probably my favourites so far and in general I don't have any major gripes from the tracks here. I even DS Mario Circuit track layout and music wise even though it was probably the second worst choice for a DS track right behind Figure 8 Circuit.
Personally I think Yoshi Falls and Desert Hills are weaker DS tracks than Mario Circuit, but to each their own
@Shane Giorgio I agree with Yoshi Falls, however I think I’d prefer Desert Hills over DS Mario Circuit, because its layout is interesting enough so that it makes some sense to add in, plus the only other desert track we have in the BCP is Kalamari Desert (although you could argue Toad Circuit counts too because it feels like a desert playing on it) and while Desert Hills is far from the best desert track out there, I’d still prefer it over another circuit track
@@shanegiorgio4713 Actually, you're right. I was just thinking there could be nothing worse than a circuit track this late into the pass but I could not be paid to care about Yoshi Falls and Desert Hills.
Great video as always 🔥
How funny that Odyssey actually predicted four out of the five characters correctly.
5:55 oh on the topic of those piranha plants being different, reason that’s the case is basically that those are ptooies, those are enemies I know about well from the new super Mario bros series, and got to say I wasn’t expecting ptooies to be added in this game, but it’s a welcome addition none the less!
I love the music on riverside park it’s one of my favorites and I was kinda shocked to hear that he thought it was just ok. But I get it, it’s not everyone’s stile of music so it’s fine
As a sport bike racer and on my best days just an average MK8 player, I love all the Mario Circuits, it’s very cool to race in places that are similar to real circuits. Till watching this video and seeing the comments I though they’re the favorite for everybody .. It’s nice to see that the overall opinion is so different 🤣
That said, I never liked the city ones too
something i noticed the second i got put in dk summit/ds mario circuit is the fans to the right of the finish line. they're still 2d sprites right next to the player, but not NEARLY as bad as on sydney sprint. just something interesting i saw.
i do a dk summit double cut setup on lap 1 by not tricking immediately off the left side, it gives 4 coins (or 5 if youre good) which makes the shortcut much easier imo
Even after a year, it still feels weird playing the Tour tracks without hearing the combo score going off...
Other than that, this wave was great. (Also I just wanted to add on that, according to datamines, DS Mario Circuit is actually the last DS track in the Booster Course Pass... Missed opportunity to bring back Airship Fortress.)
I now have a new favourite track music in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:
OMG THE ENDING YOSHI'S ISLAND THEME!!!!!!!
DK Summit gameplay wise is worse is 8DX I feel like it doesn’t play as well and isn’t as polished. HOWEVER, the music is amazing and I love how DK finally got his statue 😊
So glad to finally get a double dash track. I hope we get wario coliseum as well.
this video is worth the wait
Somebody said that you were putting the Cool Bowser™ video in all of your descriptions. I was not disappointed. Also I'm glad someone agrees that the flowers in Amsterdam Drift® look kinda off. Just the fact that they're huge and all seem copy pasta'd lol. still like the track and that section does look nice and vibrant but yes.
21:52, Petey Piranha is pretty likely as a character as he has a track based on him that is expected to return
My two cents:
8. DS Mario Circuit - This is a pretty basic track, but the new forest section spruces things up, and the fire piranhas are a decently hard hazard.
7. DK Summit - Not gonna lie, I was a little let down by this track. I love the tight drifting, but the snow patches are annoying, and it feels too short.
6. Riverside Park - It's a short track but a gorgeous one. Ptooies are a very unique obstacle, and I love the new cave and waterfall at the end.
5. Bangkok Rush - The sunset and multiple paths make for a unique city track that's in my top 5 in 8 Deluxe so far. Too bad the ink piranhas from Tour got cut.
4. Amsterdam Drift - I love that we finally have an underwater segment in a city track. Some of the drifts in this track are really fun too.
3. Singapore Speedway - So much aesthetic variety in this one. I love the speed rings, the water geysers, the goombas chilling in the pool, the conveyors, and racing through Chinatown.
2. Waluigi Stadium - We waited an entire year for a Double Dash track and Waluigi Stadium delivers. I love how it looks. It looks better than most base game tracks. The bumpy track, halfpipes, and mechanical piranhas as well as fire bars make for an exciting time.
1. Yoshi's Island - This is such a beautiful homage to the classic SNES platformer. I couldn't help but smile while playing this track. I love how it looks and sounds just like Yoshi's Island. The Yoshi coins and victory jingle are perfect.
You missed a Really big Shortcut in Amsterdam Drift. Lap 1 in the grassy area on 200cc you can skip the bridge using a mushroom by dashing over the river. It is difficult but very fun to pull off, I'm not sure if it is possible on 150cc but it is a really cool shortcut.
Loving the edits 👍
When you were talking about the GBA online it reminded me that I bought a GBA like not even 4 months before the games were added
I think that one of the “ new “ tracks in wave 5 or 6 could be the rainbow road in the Mario movie
I’m not gonna lie I like all of the circuit tracks there simplicity is what makes them nice especially Mario circuit 3 being one of my fav tracks from Mario wii because of how it drives
You should make a tier list ranking video where you list every intentional and unintentional shortcut and how you like them! It would be very unique and I would love it!
crazy how out of the 5 characters he said would be in the booster course pass, 4 of those indeed made it in
i like how you predicted most of the dlc characters accurately, except for rob. seriously though, rob would have been so much better than peachette...
Bangkok Rush is probably my new favorite Tour Track. At least until they add Vancouver Velocity.
4:03 this part is the only hard one. You have to align facing right fairly accurately, and then do a hard left drift, in 200cc it's even harder. After that just drive straight through all the roads.
Hey Odyssey, I've been thinking about trying to get into making Nintendo YT videos (specifically Mario Kart Wii and Splatoon 3, maybe some BotW too) and was wanting to know what you'd recommend in the way of capture cards.
The fruit cup is my new favourite cup, includes: most stuntable map, best tour track, best gimmick, and best track.
Waiting for the wave 5 review so rewatching all the previous waves level by levels
My personal ranking going purely off of how fun it is to drive on each (I only have played a few MK games before 8, so a Tour track is just as foreign as a Double Dash track to me). I'll only explain my choices if I feel like it:
8. GBA Riverside Park (It's a simple track, not much to say, though some turns are fairly annoying)
7. DS Mario Circuit (Another simple track aestetically, but has some much greater difficulty than the average circuit track as you actually have to break drift on the ending turns)
6. Yoshi's Island (This track is still amazing, please don't hate me. It's just that the others were even more incredible gameplay-wise)
5. Tour Signapore Speedway (The weakest city track in the wave imo, but still incredible and uses the glider very creatively)
4. Tour Amsterdam Drift (Variety is key)
3. Wii DK Summit
2. GCN Waluigi Stadium
1. Tour Bangkok Rush (The feeling of driving on this level does not compare. Every turn, every trick, every shortcut, and every split path was so well excecuted. Definitely a top 3 in the pass for sure)
Um, actually Odyssey Central, you can do the gap cut on Mushroom Gorge with a mushroom on 150cc but it's harder than 200cc. Also, you don't need a mushroom for the gap cut on 150cc or else you go into the out of bounds area. Just though you should know because I wanted to tell you this just so you know. (But I do wanna say I LOVE your content) :)
The going underwater on the Amsterdam track is probably a reference to how the Netherlands sea level is really high( also there is a joke that saying the Netherlands and Denmark are literally underwater)
I'm getting pretty worried about game variety so far. Like yeah, WII and GBA have some awesome tracks, but it's mildly worrying waluigi stadium is the so far only GCN track. Also there have been some tracks that genuinely feel like wasted space (toad circuit). I kinda hope we get a few more good tracks from GCN and 3DS
I think it´s important to mention though that Riverside Parks layout was altered quite a bit, reducing the difficulty of the track by a bit.
I´d have loved for the sharp turns in the first half of the track to stay.
Maybe you know this,but in singapore speedway there are to Nice details.First off,you can Actually land in the Soccer girls...if you are bad at the game.And second,the music changes once you are in the "chinese" portion,really cool👌
This is honestly a great wave. Wave 3 has the highest high (3DS Rainbow Road), but Wave 4 was more consistent. Also, I'm gonna say it, but Riverside Park is on par with the base game in terms of looks. Full stop. So does Waluigi Stadium. I think the quality has dramatically increased since Wave 1, and hopefully it increases more still.
i personally feel like its good to remake tracks that haven't been already just for variety's sake
both this and shroom ridge are banger tracks tbh 🕺🕺
Finally they included my favorite character light blue birdo at last!!!!!!!!
Also they might add some sort of variation of an existing character. It would be really shocking and a miracle if they did not include variations.
I personally think petey piranha is one of those characters because it has a track in tour called piranha plant cove wich is a underwater temple from petey piranha and els
Okay but the banana snipe at 20:24 was godlike
Can't wait to play it this weekend
Sky garden was actually a banger in mario kart DS, easily one of the best retro tracks in that game especially since it was otherwise lacking a track with the sky theme
I'd like to see tracks for waves 5&6 to have sections from their reverse and/or trick versions since most of these tracks seem to already be in Tour
I’ve been waiting for this since the release of wave 4
Waluigi Stadium is fun and great, it became my favorite in Wave 4
Ngl, i didn't expect much from ds Mario circuit, but little did i know that i would enjoy this track every time i play it, it's one of my favorites now, still wanted airship fortress tho 😥
Yea:(
My issue with the Yoshi’s island track is how short it is.
Not that it’s a bad thing, I just felt like there could’ve been more done with the references and the shortcut. Especially the shortcut cause it’s so good and it can have a lot of potential. Even outside of the track.
Same, though I've learned to live with it.
This wave is what convinced me to purchase Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the DLC. I played the original MK8 on my Wii U so I never felt ok with buying the same game twice, and the first 2 waves of the DLC felt kinda bland for the most part (also wave 1 looked terrible).
But here comes Wave 4 with an outstanding selection of courses, more antigravity and underwater segments than before, improved visuals (only the trees look like plastic now) and finally with a new character! If leaks are to be believed, every unique character featured in Tour that is missing from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be added in the future (with the exception of Peachette and 16 bit DK Jr)! This is incredible news and the game will finally feel complete imo. Sort of like a Mario Kart Ultimate!
Thanks for your videos as usual, I enjoy them a lot
I almost wonder if Waluigi Stadium's high quality textures and rendering is because it was intended to be in the base game, but just barely missed the cut, but this DLC allowed them to return it
Either that or Nintendo's texture artists and renderers are gods when they want to be XD
The base game was 8 years ago
These waves are getting better and better. My only nitpick about this wave is that why did they brought in only one new character in it even though there are 2 waves remaining. What’s next for the other waves? New and returning battle tracks? Updated textures and anti gravity in some courses for the older waves?
My theory is that Nintendo only recently saw people wanting more characters and that they could only get Birdo done in time for wave 4 + it keeps hype up during the middle portion of the DLC
Each wave have had their share of wtf track choices, wave 1 was toad circuit and shroom ridge, wave 2 was Mario circuit 3 and snow land, wave 3 was peach gardens because of the backwards route and wave 4 was Mario circuit because who honestly thought it would come back
