Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Boo(Ster Course Pass) This Man)

I'm a Ludwig fan. Stupid hair, stupid voice. What's not to love?

Could have Roy from Fire Emblem though, Jim.

Roy from Fire Emblem isn't even the best Roy in Smash Bros. He's probably not the best Roy in Fire Emblem either if I wasn't too lazy to find another one.

Fuck you.

I'm losing mine pretty sharpish boss!

I know it briefly came up in the Discord chat* but I'm surprised no posts about super pack 3. With London! It's exactly 1:1 like real life London! Actually it's pretty charming, can't lie.
But: I got a bit fed up with people whining about the graphics, as (a) I don't normally care, and (b) some of the new tracks look absolutely amazing - the Christmas one and Maple Treeway just in this last set; but actually the London and Berlin tracks do look a bit GameCube, like they've sanded off anything that can get them sued.

I enjoyed the third track pack quite a bit, actually. The Christmas one was a grand time indeed and one of the highlights in my humble opinion. I never really got the graphical complaints on any of the track packs so far, but I did notice the previous two packs having a distinct lack of antigrav/underwater bits. I can't say I noticed that same issue with the third track pack - Boo Lake was a nice surprise for having that big underwater bit, for example.

Never say never...

They were ok but I've not really been wowed by them, the Tour tracks feel a bit messy in my opinion, too many random directions without the creative signposting you'd usually see in Mario Kart tracks. I might play a bit more tonight as I could just need to get used to them like I am the original tracks. I would put the Christmas track as my highlight despite saying it wasn't that interesting purely because its Christmas.

I've enjoyed the excuse to get you guys playing Mario Kart, and having more tracks in rotation, but so far few of the new ones have climbed high up my list.

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that no new track can reach the peaks of Grumble Volcano

Boo lake is probably my favourite out of the new dlc packs.

It's Maple treeway all day for me, looks amazing and races well too. The tour tracks are pretty bad, would not like any more added thanks.

Still sorry about this.

This happening makes the track even better.

Finally played this lot with the family. Maple Treeway is still excellent and a standout, but my favourite might be 3DS Rainbow Road. The Tour tracks do some interesting things (Berlin Wall Whomps) but are still mostly bad. Merry Mountain is okay, felt too short. Give us three laps!
