Gotta say, I think it's all good. They added the final 8 tracks, 4 new characters, *17* new Mii outfits, and a music player. Sadly the battle mode still has 8 courses
There’s actually a really cool element of DK Mountain that you missed! If you angle your trick on the third mountain ramp, you can jump onto a part of the volcano that’s normally inaccessible and use it for a shortcut! It’s a very precise jump and pretty difficult to pull off perfectly, but it feels so rewarding to do it successfully!
It was an incredible journey. So fun watching, waiting, listening, for anything that might relate to the booster course pass. Thank you all, and you too, Odyssey, for making this trip so much better.
I think Rosalinas Ice World really should be in B tier. It may not be the best course, but I feel its tight technical turns and major graphical upgrade make it much better than a D tier. Also the music remix slaps!
@@GeoDeoit’s the new DS Mario circuit, as they are both overhated because people think they replaced tracks they wanted. It’s really sad as I love them both!
I personally get where he's coming from. In general it's just a boring ice track. I feel like it's only really good at the very beginning but after the half pipe section there's really not much going for it in my opinion.
@@castform7Fair enough, but like…those are reasons for putting it in C Tier, not D Tier. Like, it’s not nearly at the level of Toad Circuit and Sky Garden.
@@rustyshackleford234Basically. Maybe not top tier, but still good. (Funny that most people want Airship Fortress which is an Overrated track instead.)
His entire take on the track is a hot take. In my honest opinion, Madrid is a top 5 city and it’s almost downright insulting saying it’s worse than London which he already slandered heavily in the video and just slightly better than Tokyo.
Nah both tracks are underwhelming. Madrid should’ve swapped places with Rome because its too lackluster to me the last city track, and rosa’s ice world is just a boring, forgettable ice course that’s based off rosalina for no reason
What a journey the booster course pass has been....it still feels like it was yesterday that wave 1 was first reveled.... And you know what? I cannot be upset with what we got in the booster course pass. I mean we were only promised 48 new tracks in the beginning...but we got so much more on top of that! 8 new characters. 17 new mii costumes. A music player. Custom items for VS mode. Nintendo really went all out for us....and i couldn't be more thankful for all they've given us these past 2 years. I doubt the next mario kart will live up to how incredible deluxe is kinda like how if there's another smash game then it won't be as insane as ultimate...but i know the next mario kart will still be a great time. Thank you mario kart 8...for so many years of fun times.
Yeah. Those were the awesome things that the Booster Course Pass DLC did for us, and the music for each BCP DLC track is as good as the music for the base game tracks and for the 8DX battle stages. The visuals/graphics in the BCP DLC are STILL *DEFINITELY NEVER* EVEN ANYWHERE NEAR as good as the visuals/graphics in the base game, but I'm happy we got more content for MK8/MK8DX from Nintendo
Personally I thought Madrid was one of the most intuitive city tracks in the game and with the best flow, since it has few weird and unnatural turns with guide arrows slammed, and as such one of the most enjoyable city tracks of the bunch. Plus the music is great, dunno how can you not like it.
Because it is just another city with another boring layout it is just as unique as any other city… you know actually scratch that those goombas make it peak.
What a journey! I was holding back tears when playing Wii rainbow road, the music had the perfect journeys end vibe. Best DLC for any video game ever, and it’s a DLC for a genuinely good game. Sad to see this end but looking forward to what’s next for the series
I'm really happy for what they did for Rome. As an Italian, I can say that is the city track that have the biggest number of reference of the city. By the way great video as always!
I think porting all the tracks from tour was the best decision nintendo could’ve made in the long run. Sure the graphics are significantly worse but with tour giving us a new retro track every two weeks, EVERYONE was keeping a close eye on both the dlc and tour. With every new track added to tour, at least one persons predictions list were shuffled, keeping the dlc on everyone’s mind in between wave releases
If Piranha Plant Pipeline would have been and would be coming to MK8DX, then it would look miles better then *EV ERY SINGLE* BCP DLC track, MARK MY WORDS. ALSO, the base game has waaaaayyyyy much more models that are fully modelled than what those full-on base 8/8DX disregarders think, even if those models are shaded smooth
You forgot to mention the fact you can glide to the left on Madrid’s glider section and potentially skip a bit of the track, going over the Off-Road. And in the plaza section there’s a gap between the tents that you can drive right through, it’s really interesting to pull off. It’s not the most complex track but you really just skimmed over all the good stuff
I just want to say, thank you so much for making these high quality and amazing Booster Course Pass Level by Level episodes! They were so much fun and entertaining to watch! I will definitely miss these episodes now that all the waves have been released, but I’ll definitely be binge watching them over again. Your editing and script writing is just amazing 👏🏼 Looking forward to future content to come 😄 PS: Madrid Drive is my favorite city course along with Vancouver lol. The music in Madrid is actually really good in my opinion. It’s my favorite out of the Tour city tracks besides Vancouver. I guess we have different tastes 😂 And I also LOVE that the final track in the BCP is Wii Rainbow Road! It was the perfect selection 😄
I get everyone haa their opinions and mine is, Rosalina’s ice world is one of my favourite tracks. A better ice tracks to me, the weird corner slop you go around throws people off the first time as you’ll either underestimate it and fall into the cavern or overestimate it and go up into the snow/wall. The track getting smaller forcing you into the water always seemed cool to me, the stage just getting smaller and you if you’re fast enough you can make the ice path. The ice sliding made it harder to stay on the split paths, seeing friends fly off the stage gets me every time.
Now there’s another one, because when I saw RIW in the Wave 6 trailer, I was hyped beyond belief! The MK7 Special Cup was my favorite cup in the game back when I played 7 a lot, and Rosalina’s Ice World is the second track in that cup. I remember getting really good at that track, and the challenge of the track with its ice physics and sharp turns is very welcome compared to the relative simplicity of DK Jungle and Madrid Drive. Not to mention, the track looks beautiful and the music is a treat for the ears. 10/10 track for me, never get tired of racing on it. :3
Madrid Drive, while could be considered empty and not fun, is cool because it takes an element from every prior city. Gliding over a body of water? Paris Singapore, and Rome. Two thwomps that offer coins right before it if you decide to take the route? Tokyo. The split path at the start where you take the same one on laps 2 and 3? New York. A circle turn where you can very easily get purple spark? Sydney. A park/grassy area? London, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Vancouver. (the ramps afterwards are also directly taken from Peach Gardens!). A straightaway section with moving obstacles and speed boosts? Bangkok. An area with goombas? Athens. A randomly raised boost panel to spice up the track? Los Angeles.
Playing Wii Rainbow Road as Dry Bones with my friends, hearing that glorious remastered music… it felt like the Ratatouille scene. You know the one. I was worried that it would be diluted, but they kept Wii’s EXACT vibe and even ADDED details! A fantastic finale. The Mii Outfits were a pleasant surprise as well, they didn’t have to do that but they did. Really feels like a passionate sendoff to this decade-long experience. Racing as Robbie Rotten stuck in a Tower just makes me irrationally happy.
I know invincible walls are some of the least favorite things people like but I'm really really sure they are necessary for preventing cheese if you don't know without the invisible walls you can actually cheese the level fly over most of the Land
I absolutely love Wave 6. I love how Pauline references Jump Up, Super Star! by singing 'high up in the sky' when you get airtime and 'I'm the 1-Up girl' when you win. I _also_ love that you can see the Gateway Galaxy in the distance in the background of Rosalina's Ice World. I *ALSO* love that we finally got Wii Rainbow Road. I *_ALSO_* love the texturing. Sure, the buildings on Daisy Circuit are still a bit blocky, but aside from that its basically at pre-DLC standards! I also love the music feature! I could go on for hours!
We started bad with low-poly grass, and we ended with 17 mii costumes, funky and Diddy kong, pauline and other peach clone that nobody asked and wii rainbow road. Thanks mario kart 8 deluxe, we will remember you as one of the best mario kart in the series.
Its been a wild ride experiencing the booster course pass start to end. I remember when it was first revealed that mariokart 8 deluxe got dlc and being shocked. I couldnt get the dlc until 2023 but I was still able to experience it through youtube videos, like this series. All good things have to come to an end unfortunately, but at least we ended on a high note. Its been amazing experiencing this game and its dlc and this is one of the channels that got me into it. So all I want to say is thank you for bringing this game's amazing dlc into my attention.
There is actually a huge advantage to going on the little sidewalks in Daisy circuit, in a race if you're in first and you don't want to get hit by a shell and you don't have something to protect yourself, then it might be good to go up there because someone on the ground level can't hit you with the shell
I’ve been looking forward to this video since the wave dropped. I just love this guy! His videos on Mario Wonder got me to buy it, and man did it not disappoint. Thanks Odyssey, keep being awesome!
Madrid Drive and Rosalina's Ice World got way too much hate. Madrid Drive is great in that there's many enemies to avoid across the track and the parts which have no enemies are aesthetically great to look at, making it an overall great tour track imo. For Rosalina's Ice World, I actually really like the difficulty of the first turn and the ice cave sections make it a unique ice track imo. The open section is also really nice with the half pipe's helping you with getting to the ice on top of the water, so overall it really had great improvements.
What I hate about the first turn is that often the camera just angles downward when you ride the wall. It’s annoying and it’s really hard to avoid walls. It may be a skill issue, but I’m pretty good at this game. The ice physics and sharp turns make me not like it.
Imma keep it real, I actually really like rosalina's ice world. I think it has a really pretty art style, a really enjoyable soundtrack, and I really enjoy the turns ot has, especially that first large one. I think the spiny cup is probably my favorite in the game tbh
I feel like most people enjoy it, idk what he is talking about it being so loathed. Not to mention its one of the only actually difficult courses in 8 DX.
I’m glad that you were able to put Rosealienas (Sorry if I misspelled it) ice world in D tier because I’m mad that it wasn’t Piranha Plant Pipe Line from Tour Dry Bones for smash
As someone who has only played Mario kart Wii before playing 8 deluxe, and whos favorite Mario game to ever exist being super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, I'm just happy Rosalina's ice world is a galaxy themed track, and love it just for that reason.
Just let it go... the whole point was to have at least one normal track that reps a grand pri style. Not every old track needs to look like an f zero track.
@@OriginalGameteer SNES BC3 *OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT* look even ANYWHERE near as good as SNES DP3 and SNES RR *AT ALL* either, it's still oversaturated AND it has asphalt onto the metal platforms which is very unnecessary, even though SNES MC3 has the worst ever visuals/graphics out of those 4 SNES tracks that are in MK8DX, like, those full-on base 8/8DX disregarders lie about base 8/8DX and say "base 8/8DX doesn't have enough vibrancy, contrast, and color tone", like, dude, base 8/8DX already has enough vibrancy, contrast, brightness, color, color variety, and color tone in the shading, *AND* in every single way possible than what they even say it has
I feel like the design of the city tracks really isn't restricted at all by the need for accuracy. They aren't anywhere close to being exact recreations
I gotta say, this is definitely my favorite wave. Not only is my Wii nostalgia kicking in with rainbow road, but even some of the more random picks like Daisy circuit and Rosalinas ice world are really fun as well
I actually really like Peachette. I especially find her biker outfit very cute. She's unironically my favorite character in wave 6. (Also i find it funny that she's the new meta)
Awesome series Odyssey, thank you for reviewing every wave of one of my favourite games of all time, kinda sad to see it end but a satisfying end nonetheless 🎉
16:47 Madrid Drive Lap 2 actually opens up a narrow itemless shortcut through the tables in the plaza, it's a super cool addition 28:55 Sandbagging is still possible, just nerfed. On Baby Park it actually works nearly the same since the all the item sets are separate and move around.
I agree with you on everything except Rosalina’s Palace… I never played that course outside of this game, (at least I don’t remember playing it) and it’s just so much fun for me! The music, too, is really good. It’s just overall great in my opinion
I am unbelievably excited that Funky Kong has been added to MK8DX. I'm a big fan of TWD98, so I'm quite used to seeing Funky Kong racing, but since I don't have Mario Kart Wii, I didn't have any way to play as him until now.
He says a lot of bad things about Rome: he puts it in A tier, he says several bad things about Madrid: he puts it in low C, right? Colosseum in Rome at night, also how boring is it going to seem to be a track where each corner is different, although Madrid has small boring areas, all of Rome is boring lmao.
Airship Fortress already returned in Mario Kart 7, I think it’s somewhat fair that tracks like DS Mario Circuit, Rosalina’s Ice World and Daisy Circuit would finally get some attention
ths sole reason he put's Rosalina's Ice World in D is his hate for Rosalina like some people actually do like that track it's literally just of his hate towards her and you can't convince me otherwise
Here’s my ranking for the tracks #1 Wii Rainbow Road 10/10 (Is a bit long but way better than 1 lap) #2 SNES Bowser Castle 3 9/10 (Love the remake and song) #3 Tour Piranha Plant Cove 9/10 (Where’s Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline?) (But glad this one wasn’t the one cut) #4 Tour Madrid Drive 8/10 (Love the Song and is one of the best cities) #5 GCN DK Mountain 8/10 (This is a good track with a good song) (I’d put it higher but there’s so many good tracks) #6 Tour Rome Avanti 7/10 (Just feels like another city for me) (Remix sounds identical to Tour version) #7 Wii Daisy Circuit 7/10 (I liked this track in Wii so I’m glad it’s here) (However can’t really compare to other tracks) #8 3DS Rosalina’s Ice World 7/10 (This track isn’t bad but I don’t really think it’s that great) (I would’ve preferred Tour Pipeline)
TBH, I kinda like Madrid Drive's music. I think it's a banger. Also I was a bit surprised that you didn't put Rosalina's Ice World into F Tier. Good List Though. Also Piranha Plant Pipeline for Mario Kart 9
24:20 This part made me cringe so hard... I have watched him for a while now and loved his videos but... I think it's safe to say that Odyssey Central has really fallen off.
Also, we now have a circuit/raceway track from every mainline game! - SNES Mario Circuit 3 - N64 Royal Raceway - GBA Mario Circuit - GCN Yoshi Circuit - DS Mario Circuit - Wii Daisy Circuit - 3DS Toad Circuit
I was 11 when MK8 first came out and I remembered first getting the game alongside the Wii U in Christmas of 2014 and now that I’m 20 and I can’t believe that the Mario Kart 8 era has came to an end after 9 years from 2014 to 2023. We have came a very long way.
Daisy has gotten a surprising amount of love this year. From Daisy Circuit, to Daisy Cruiser, to actually being a playable character in Mario Wonder.
and honestly, I'd be a bit surprised if she didn't have SOME kind of role in that upcoming peach game..
@@Off-colorsignI wouldn't be surprised if she's in the mario movie sequel either
And the Daisy suit for Miis.
Nobody cares. Daisy is just a peach clone. I'm disappointed by her inclusion.
@@SouthamptonCentral your opinion is invalid
Dude, are you serious? Those two Goombas on the road make Madrid Drive the BEST course in the ENTIRE SERIES!!!
i know but there could've been 3 of them instead it was a big missed opportunity
I will not Stand for this Madrid Drive slander
I prefer Mario Circuit since it has More that 2 goombas.
Meh I prefer Athens Dash because they have more then 2 goombas
I wish Madrid drive had 3 goobas instead of 2 or at least 1 and a half ☹️
Gotta say, I think it's all good. They added the final 8 tracks, 4 new characters, *17* new Mii outfits, and a music player.
Sadly the battle mode still has 8 courses
Crazy how there are 12x more racing tracks than battle tracks
@@MRM_Petey yeah. They couldn't add in block fort, funky stadium, didn't even add in a switch battle map.
ROB IS DEAD PEACHETTE ATE HIM
@@ChineseCookie LOL wtf
And no 96 Race Option in Versus Mode
I can understand someone not liking Madrid Drive as a track but it geniunely has one of my favorite songs in all of Mario Kart
Same
I agree too 😄
fr, the MK8 band went crazy with it
I dont understand how its one of the worst songs in the game to him, it fucking slaps.
To me, Sydney Sprint, Paris Promenade, Electrodome, Madrid Drive, Daisy Circuit, and Wii Rainbow Road are all bangers of songs

Personally I feel like DK Mountain was handled decently, though it does give ultra-jank vibes. Guess that’s a trend with DK cannon tracks in 8DX 😂
Ultra-jank is part of DK Mountain's identity so that's okay
What a journey! I was holding back tears when playing Wii rainbow road, the music had the perfect journeys end vibe. Best DLC for any video game ever, and it’s a DLC for a genuinely good game. Sad to see this end but looking forward to what’s next for the series

This DLC was AMAZING!!! I don't know how a sequel can top this! I think of this game as Mario Kart Ultimate now!

Piranha Plant Cove is my favourite original Tour track in this game because you can create your own massive shortcuts.
Don't hate on Ice world just because the theme is ICE, I think Ice is a nICE theme for a track.

Imma keep it real, I actually really like rosalina's ice world. I think it has a really pretty art style, a really enjoyable soundtrack, and I really enjoy the turns ot has, especially that first large one.
I think the spiny cup is probably my favorite in the game tbh
I feel like most people enjoy it, idk what he is talking about it being so loathed. Not to mention its one of the only actually difficult courses in 8 DX.
I’m glad that you were able to put Rosealienas (Sorry if I misspelled it) ice world in D tier because I’m mad that it wasn’t Piranha Plant Pipe Line from Tour
Dry Bones for smash
i hope this dude makes it big for the quality he puts out frfr
A 30 min video about Mario kart's booster course pass? Hell yeah
Love this channel so much with the vastly different video types and funny commentary! Perfect
As someone who has only played Mario kart Wii before playing 8 deluxe, and whos favorite Mario game to ever exist being super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, I'm just happy Rosalina's ice world is a galaxy themed track, and love it just for that reason.
Blud the wii rainbow Road texture is actually the best in the game💀
Something that's kinda neat is that with Diddy and Funky's inclusion in this wave, we actually have every character from MKWii back.
Now imagine if Mario Circuit 3 got the same love and attention as Bowser’s Castle 3 😂
Good lord does MC3 stick out like a sore thumb compared to the other 3 snes tracks
Barely looks and sounds that different from its original version...
Just let it go... the whole point was to have at least one normal track that reps a grand pri style. Not every old track needs to look like an f zero track.
@@OriginalGameteer SNES BC3 *OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT* look even ANYWHERE near as good as SNES DP3 and SNES RR *AT ALL* either, it's still oversaturated AND it has asphalt onto the metal platforms which is very unnecessary, even though SNES MC3 has the worst ever visuals/graphics out of those 4 SNES tracks that are in MK8DX, like, those full-on base 8/8DX disregarders lie about base 8/8DX and say "base 8/8DX doesn't have enough vibrancy, contrast, and color tone", like, dude, base 8/8DX already has enough vibrancy, contrast, brightness, color, color variety, and color tone in the shading, *AND* in every single way possible than what they even say it has
I feel like the design of the city tracks really isn't restricted at all by the need for accuracy. They aren't anywhere close to being exact recreations
24:09 that’s just silly in my opinion, especially considering Wii RR looked entirely different in Tour
I gotta say, this is definitely my favorite wave. Not only is my Wii nostalgia kicking in with rainbow road, but even some of the more random picks like Daisy circuit and Rosalinas ice world are really fun as well
Bro i know im making another comment, but Rosalinas ice world. I love that track. I dont get the hate
Ive been watching the series since Wave 1. Crazy to think its over
It's funny you say everyone dislikes rosalina ice world, I've only heard people saying they love it... 🤔 Good video though
Rosalina’s Ice World is fine, I always enjoyed it
I actually really like Peachette. I especially find her biker outfit very cute. She's unironically my favorite character in wave 6. (Also i find it funny that she's the new meta)
I completely agree with the whole Rosalina's Ice World segment especially the fact that we didn't get Airship Fortress because of this track.
This dlc is the best because they added a blooper costume
Oh and everything else too but that blooper costume is doing most of the heavy lifting.
You forgot the Moo Moo Suit tweaking animation when tricking on anti gravity
Awesome series Odyssey, thank you for reviewing every wave of one of my favourite games of all time, kinda sad to see it end but a satisfying end nonetheless 🎉
Glad you appreciate Piranha Plant Cove, my favourite Tour track. The music is just sublime.
23:24 i got baited by COOL BOWSER
16:47 Madrid Drive Lap 2 actually opens up a narrow itemless shortcut through the tables in the plaza, it's a super cool addition
28:55 Sandbagging is still possible, just nerfed. On Baby Park it actually works nearly the same since the all the item sets are separate and move around.
2:50 bro what the fu-💀
20:24 "Someone cooked here is unironically hilarious"
Waiting for the “🤓” joke
Errmmm 🤓👆
lol
Well achtsually
They should have added don't forgot Mario Kart character GRAND DAD :(
14:26 I tried going up the stairs and Lakitu didn't like it.
I agree with you on everything except Rosalina’s Palace… I never played that course outside of this game, (at least I don’t remember playing it) and it’s just so much fun for me! The music, too, is really good. It’s just overall great in my opinion
I was gonna do a nerd emoji comment for Rosalina’s Ice World, but I can’t bring myself to because how do you f**k up that badly...
Tbh tour rainbow road is pretty good, wonder why they called it wii rainbow road tho 😮
Because it’s from Wii. I hope ur joking
I like how you say we are “asked” to take a glider ramp. Like a pop up is gonna show up on our screens and offer us the option.
Alright, I’ve had enough of this. Someone please tell me WHY this dude hates Rosalina so much.
I heard it's because she was OP in Smash 3DS & Wii U
He hates her because Mario galaxy had unskippable cutscenes.
Yeah.
@@ashref2222 🤨
I never understood Rosalina hate.
I am unbelievably excited that Funky Kong has been added to MK8DX. I'm a big fan of TWD98, so I'm quite used to seeing Funky Kong racing, but since I don't have Mario Kart Wii, I didn't have any way to play as him until now.
He says a lot of bad things about Rome: he puts it in A tier, he says several bad things about Madrid: he puts it in low C, right? Colosseum in Rome at night, also how boring is it going to seem to be a track where each corner is different, although Madrid has small boring areas, all of Rome is boring lmao.
The Walter white jumpscare was hilarious, great video
Airship Fortress already returned in Mario Kart 7, I think it’s somewhat fair that tracks like DS Mario Circuit, Rosalina’s Ice World and Daisy Circuit would finally get some attention
I can’t believe you faked us out of the cool bowser meme. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
NO WAY ITS THERE AT THE END WOOOOO
Madrid Drive is great!
I live in Madrid, and I can say that everything in the track is in the real city, so I appreciate the attention to detail
@@axolotlstudios7918 I also live in Madrid, the references are amazing!
ths sole reason he put's Rosalina's Ice World in D is his hate for Rosalina
like some people actually do like that track
it's literally just of his hate towards her
and you can't convince me otherwise
Here’s my ranking for the tracks
#1 Wii Rainbow Road 10/10 (Is a bit long but way better than 1 lap)
#2 SNES Bowser Castle 3 9/10 (Love the remake and song)
#3 Tour Piranha Plant Cove 9/10 (Where’s Tour Piranha Plant Pipeline?) (But glad this one wasn’t the one cut)
#4 Tour Madrid Drive 8/10 (Love the Song and is one of the best cities)
#5 GCN DK Mountain 8/10 (This is a good track with a good song) (I’d put it higher but there’s so many good tracks)
#6 Tour Rome Avanti 7/10 (Just feels like another city for me) (Remix sounds identical to Tour version)
#7 Wii Daisy Circuit 7/10 (I liked this track in Wii so I’m glad it’s here) (However can’t really compare to other tracks)
#8 3DS Rosalina’s Ice World 7/10 (This track isn’t bad but I don’t really think it’s that great) (I would’ve preferred Tour Pipeline)
TBH, I kinda like Madrid Drive's music. I think it's a banger.
Also I was a bit surprised that you didn't put Rosalina's Ice World into F Tier.
Good List Though. Also Piranha Plant Pipeline for Mario Kart 9
I mean, regardless of your opinions on Rosalina's ice world, you CANNOT possibly put it below 3ds turd circuit
@@enderallygolemWell, I think Rosalina's Ice World is fine, but at least it's better than Toad Circuit
I wish they replaced Rosalina’s Ice World with Airship Fortress. It was already in tour and pretty beloved DS track.
My only request would have been some minor reward for beating the staff ghosts on all 48 booster courses in time trials
Dry bones for smash
Me like dry bones
And wet skin for crunch
The ominous pause at 23:35, and lack of cool bowser makes it even better
24:20 This part made me cringe so hard...
I have watched him for a while now and loved his videos but... I think it's safe to say that Odyssey Central has really fallen off.
LOL
I like Rosalina's Ice World, but I also do agree that Airship Fortress was some massive missed potential
Nahh dude Rosalinas ice world is a great track idk what ur talking about
As the number 1 Piranha Plant fan these last 2 waves have been perfect with Petey and a new Piranha Plant themed stage
How do you feel about Pipeline being the knly tour Nitro not in 8dx
At 23:34, I was waiting for Cool Bowser, but it’s at 28:49.
The only thing I was missing from this video: A *complete* tierlist with all 48 tracks in it, instead of each wave having their own tierlist only.
Did you watch until the end of the video?
Also, we now have a circuit/raceway track from every mainline game!
- SNES Mario Circuit 3
- N64 Royal Raceway
- GBA Mario Circuit
- GCN Yoshi Circuit
- DS Mario Circuit
- Wii Daisy Circuit
- 3DS Toad Circuit
If Wii Daisy Circut and GCN Yoshi Circut where replaced with like Mario or something we would also have had every circuit theme in Mario Kart 8
and for the tour is mainline people:
- Tour Tokyo Blur
I was 11 when MK8 first came out and I remembered first getting the game alongside the Wii U in Christmas of 2014 and now that I’m 20 and I can’t believe that the Mario Kart 8 era has came to an end after 9 years from 2014 to 2023. We have came a very long way.
I love Rosalina's Ice World.
Same
Same here. I think it is the most underrated Mario Kart track
Its mid
23:35
I've been watching too long if I expected the funny little dancing guy.
out of all of the takes i have seen on the booster pass yours has been the best
I will say Rosalina's course is very aesthetically pleasing to me. Racing wise though...
