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

I'm sorry I missed the organised fun
If I have any record against you guys, it doesn't look good for me!

Mario Kart 8 can do very little wrong... but I'd have to agree the Tour tracks are a pain - when on lap 2 you get confused because you've got karts driving in the opposite direction, that's a pain; and when taking a power slide, and getting picked up by Lakitu because you went wide on the outside, thus being deemed out of bounds, that's a pain; and when trying to work out if by Madrid they sometimes meant Barcelona, that's a pain.

But a load of the classic tracks have been great to see in supey-dupey-MK8-HD! Totally agree with Bowser Castle 3 and its rectangula-rama, and I always have a soft spot for Daisy Circuit (although I still secretly wish they'd got a license to just actually replicate the real Monaco, as it's lawyer-baitingly- close).

I actually prefer that they give us Mario-ified versions of these places rather than real-world locations. I would have got more of a kick out of the Tour tracks if the London Eye was the big rolling Triceratops thing from World.

wait what

Cappa's post showing me why I'm glad I don't play online with y'all. Do I fancy being pumped by Cappa? Not really.

That's not an outright no though.

Returning to DK Mountain was a great treat - Double Dash was the first Mario Kart game I properly got into and DK Mountain was one of the highlights of that game. Plus, I don't think I lost a race on there once during our session of organised fun.

Well, I know the next course I'm gonna time trial over and over

I’ll always have launch week.
