It’s particularly good to see the best version of Rainbow Road join Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, with the Wii track including plenty of twists, sharp turns, and dangerous opportunities to fall off the road.
DK Mountain being included alongside Diddy Kong and Funky Kong also feels very fitting. It’s a lively course with plenty of detail in its jungle scenery – including a mid-track cannon – and it looks to have been given a colourful facelift for its debut in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Rosalina’s Ice World is also a major highlight. This 3DS-era track is inspired by Super Mario Galaxy, and features plenty of traps for inexperienced players, including a hole-filled ice grotto. It’s also quite pretty, as most of the Mario Kart 7 tracks are.
As announced by
Regardless of whether your favourite tracks made it in or not, there’s no doubt the Booster Course Pass has been a welcome inclusion for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, adding in new reasons to consistently return to one of the best multiplayer racing games around.
