Are The Wave 3 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course DLC Tracks Good? | Level By Level
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 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 pack. 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 third wave of the dlc dropped a few days ago containing two cups, the Rock cup and Moon cup. That brought over a total of 8 tracks, London Loop, Boo Lake, Rock Rock Mountain, Maple Treeway, Berlin Byways, Peach Gardens, Merry Mountain, and 3DS Rainbow Road. 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 new item settings, neat!

I edited this for 14 hours straight yesterday to get this out in time, hopefully you all like it 🔥
I'm more a 13 hours and 59 minutes guy personally but I respect your choice.
It better have dry bones, some jumpscares or a “LOL” moment
Bros on the grindset keep it up
Bro you make the most 'Dry Bones' content out there, keep it up. Enjoy watching any content
'Drybones' = epic
I like it a lot, minus one thing.
How
The
HELL DID NEW YORK GET ABOVE LONDON AND BERLIN?!?! New York is almost a regular 3 lap track, with barely anything happening (Woo one tiny corner cut that skips the only thing you can do a trick off of in the first 2 laps)! London and Berlin have actually somewhat complex layouts with many shortcut/tricking/drifting (The last lap of New York has 3/4 turns) opportunities each. New York has no standout areas, while both Berlin and London have many (London has the Market, Buckingham Palace and The River Tems, while Berlin has the Grandenburg Gate, Berlin Wall, Victory Column, and train station, plus more I don't recognize for both).
I'm not saying that they're better, it's just that they're less worse.
Fun fact for boo lake: as of now this is first time we've seen an underwater segment since base mk8. None of the original dlc, deluxe battle courses, or the pass waves ever have them
I didn't even realize that until your comment. This is seriously the last water we've seen since Dolphin Shoals (or 3DS Piranha Plant Slide if you count the DLC).
@@kendallmonge649 You mean retro? PPS wasn't dlc
@@kendallmonge649 I assume you're going by what the last water level by the order of cups, but technically Water Park, Sweet sweet canyon, twisted mansion, cheep cheep beach, Dry Dry Desert, Donus Plains 3, DK Jungle, Wario Stadium, and Sherbet Land all had underwater sections and were released at the same time chronologically so it doesn't make sense really to say those are the last water levels we've seen
@@kendallmonge649 piranha plant slide is in the lightning cup i’m pretty sure! so it was actually in the base base game
@@kendallmonge649 Piranha plant slide isn’t dlc
in peach gardens you can go through the character hedges, which means you can hi-five Luigi without consequence
also, the reason the ramp on merry mountain doesn't appear until lap 3 in 200cc may be bc its appearance may be on a timer
I rate if you tried it to see if it worked or not 😂
@@benedictgaming4766 Yeah that's why
@@benedictgaming4766 oops, someone needs to fix that then, because timers and different speed settings don't mix well in racing games.
@@shadowsnake5133 its that way in toad circuit too
I like how the Whomps are placed in the missing pieces of the Berlin Wall.
The whomps are commies who still defend the wall because they didn't realize the USSR fell.
Hajajjahahahahahaah
It's this detail alone that elevates this course to my personal S tier. I audibly laughed out loud when I first drove by them! Great to point out that you can trick off of them, now you can soar over the fall of communism IN STYLE
@@Fisheringtonman I miss USSR (Soviet anthem plays).
I just realized how cool it would be to have Rainbow Road's spinny cylinder in anti-grav, letting you go all around it. It would be especially fun when you're near other racers and all upside down from each other.
I tried to use the tube as a hamster wheel and was sorely disappointed when I couldn't do a full 360
I literally thought the same thing
How would u glide then…
I just realized that the whomps on Berlin Byway is supposed to represent the collapse of the Berlin Wall and I kind of love that
I will suckakok
16:13 The glide ramp only appears after a certain amount of time has passed, not depending on which lap you're on.

@@enderallygolem Ouch
I actually fell so far behind with only blue shells that I used the glider lap 1
@@seapuffanimations1713 lol
God this dlc wave really feels so good compaired to wave 1.. It really feels like the passion of nintendo has come back and they said "You know what.. Let's actually try with these tracks".. Most of them look stunning and are so much fun to play.
Props to odyssey for getting footage and opinions of and writing a script and voicing over something that came out 3 days ago and still having it turn out amazing. You have my respect sir
like toad circuit
You can't form your own opinions in 3 days? Might wanna work on that.
@@jarlwhiterun7478 You can get 22 minutes of footage, write a script out of all that and get opinions about that while making it an entertaining video in 3 days?
I couldn't disagree more with Tour Berlin Byways, it is such a great course. It feels like a more complex version of N64 Toad's Turnpike where instead of just dodging cars the whole race they are used in certain areas of the course to make it better. The long road works for me as there are the cars there but also obstacles in the middle and grass shortcuts. I also love all the places you visit throughout the course and how maze-like it is. I wasn't a fan of the course in Tour but the three variants together make it the best Tour city course so far to me.
I also agree with you. Berlin Byways is a great course. For the same reason as you just stated. And as a German, i recognize a lot of the landmarks you see.
@@genesis209_gd Indeed, it's so unique, diverse and fun. I just can't get why people hate it just for a stretch of road that isn't even empty as it is a section dedicated to avoiding cars just like N64 Toad's Turnpike without it being the only thing the course has to offer. I'm glad you got a course based on your country and they did it so well (as a portuguese the best I could ever get is Lisbon and even then I doubt they'll ever do that city).
Great points you made there!
@@sledgen. Thank you very much
I honestly enjoy lap 2 more than the others. The amount of curves alongside the cars make it really fun to go thought
I still can't believe that it took Nintendo 20 years to finally realize that Boo Lake had a Lake.
Water isn't always wet with nintendo
Finally the seconde track in this wave is actually good
I don't think you guys know the reason toad circuit is here. It's supposed to be a track for those who haven't played the game in so long. Same with Paris Promenade. A simple track that only changes in the third lap. But I will admit, Mario Circuit 3 is garbage.
@@Rmoney213 mario circuit 3 is more of a nish and not absolute garbage in my opinion
@@imn_fauler6098 Well, sure it has a visual upgrade, it didn't get any slopes or anything added in, making it one of the most boring tracks in the series. I even think Baby Park, a simple oval, is better than Mario Circuit 3.
@@Rmoney213 atleast it isnt snes bowser castle 2
@@imn_fauler6098 I agree. SNES Bowser Castle 2 is one of the Super Mario Kart tracks that I can't even remember exists until I get reminded of the recreation I did in minecraft.
Great video! I disagree on:
Berlin byways. It’s a very detailed track despite not having the most textures or polygons, and avoiding the cars is actually fun this time. It feels like you’re actually going for a drive around a lively city.
Also the end of merry mountain is cool because you get a view of the awesome skybox and town! It’s also cool driving down a steep hill
The Merry Mountain half-pipe:
Am I a joke to you?
Berlin is an amazing track and so are most of the other City's in 8 Deluxe (Most) and they are easily my favourite and my most hyped tracks for Waves 4 - 6
Bruh when I played Berlin Byways I loved it. Apparently other people did not share the same opinion.
My favorite thing about peach gardens is that Luigi sticks out his hand so when gliding on the way back, you can give him a high-five
I like what comes right after the luigi statue
Nothing can ever top this wave.
All fan favourites are already in and it has BERLIN BYWAYS DAMN IT U CANT GET ANY BETTER!!
YESSSS, MY FAVORITE MARIO KART COURSE EVER (but Sydney Sprint is reeeeeealy close) AND THE FACT ITS NOT S IS A TRAVESTY.
True
I don’t like that they changed the song as the tour one was so good.
@@Mr.StickyBoi the tour song was literally garbage bro. If you don't like the new version you might as well like hell. You are puzzling me man.
@@coutamaxplayer538 bruh u know that byways hit hard, I KNOW that deep inside ur heart, that u think the song it good.
@@Mr.StickyBoi it is good, not the tour version
To be honest I think the more city tracks they add, the less unique they become and the more they all just blend together.
Paris Promenade is simple and distinct enough that I can recognize it every time. But London Loop and Berlin Byways just feel too similar and the path variation makes it feel confusing to drive on rather than unique.
100% agree
They seem to have done most of the not very interesting city tracks first. Tracks like Vancouver, Los Angeles, Singapore, etc are a lot more interesting and unique so hopefully this won’t be too much of a problem for the later waves
Agree
If you think they’re basic and too similar then open your eyes. They’re all unique. Just because they all feature an asphalt road with buildings doesn’t mean they’re all similar.
By the end of this DLC there will be 14 Tour city tracks. :)
The inconsistency in quality is puzzling. They obviously put a lot of effort into the visuals of Maple Treeway and 3DS Rainbow Road, but then Rock Rock Mountain looks like a lazy port from Tour and doesn’t fit well with the rest of Mario Kart 8.
@Frozen fire plush films marry mountain and peach garden look almost like from base game, maple treeway is SLIDLY worse that merry mountain and peach gardens and the city’s tracks are ok but they look better that before (imo)
Wait, do the Toads not drop item boxes in the Mario Kart 8 version of Merry Mountain? Players scrambling to grab those as the Toads chuck them down while speeding down the mountain was the part that made that section interesting in Tour. :(
they do this guy just forgot ig also who plays mario kart tour
@@geraldgreg5370 me play Mario Kart Tour!
I am one of those fools who fell for the gimmick of being able to play as way more Mario characters than in MK8D without mods. 😔
Since Tour isn't gacha anymore, it's actually a decent game now. I play it on and off. Not a very deep game but it has cool ideas and its interesting to see how they remix tracks
I wanna see these city tracks just get completely opened up for a hide and seek style battle mode. They're less tracks than mazes anyway, it would be so much fun!
Honestly I’m really excited about the half pipe imagine all of the New possibilities for custom tracks! 😁
Thank you so much for putting all of this effort into these videos, I’m astounded that you manage to make high quality videos like this in such a short amount to time (while editing all of it yourself too). Your videos on the BCP are always the ones I look forward to, as none of the videos from any other creators come close to yours in terms of how much I enjoy them.
If the drawbridge in London Loop had a glider ramp that turns on and off depending if it's up or down like the ones in 3DS Music Park it would make the drawbridge SO much better
1. It's a drawbridge
2. It literally goes into a turn almost immediately after
tbh, one of the best parts abt the dlc is that there is a new level analysis video by odyssey central
Berlin Byways has such a great soundtrack! It’s stuck in my head.
London Loop: I really love the fog and rising bridge. Plus, the chain chomps in the canals on lap 3 is a nice touch.
Boo Lake: Way too short, but at least the music is good and we finally have another spooky track in the game.
Rock Rock Mountain: The ugliest track in the wave, but the long gliding segment and climb up the mountain never get old.
Maple Treeway: A classic with amazing music and halfpipes are finally in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Berlin Byways: I love that whomps are finally enemies in a Mario Kart track plus the traffic adds some more flare. There are also so many landmarks in this track.
Peach Gardens: The new Mario hedges are beautiful, and the backwards lap 3 is a great addition.
Merry Mountain: I love the Christmas presents and the beautiful holiday music plus the halfpipes and the anti-gravity part at the end, but it feels short.
Rainbow Road: Absolutely amazing HD rendition of one of the best Mario Kart tracks ever. I love all the added star rings and anti-gravity on the moon. Plus, the dash panels at the start of section 3 being changed from black to rainbow is great. My one complaint is the track looks a lot darker now.
I agree so much with Rainbow Road - I got tears in my eyes, first time I played 3rd lap! So emotional 😂
Me too, it's a beautiful work of art
20:59 this just makes me smile man.. God i loved this track so much as a kid when i was playing mk7, easily my favorite in the whole series next to mk wii rainbow road. But then i lost/forgot my game cartridge on a train when we were traveling and could never play it again as i was too afraid to tell my dad about it.. I only owned the game for about a month aswell. So glad it came back and is actually good.
Wave 3 is so goated, can’t believe we’re already half way through the pass!
The first time I played London loop, I legitimately went around the roundabout 2 times before going the right way
You didn’t mention the huge visual upgrade this wave had overall, the worst looking track is Rock Rock Mountain which I think still looks great inside the tunnel and during the gliding sections.
I love riding the small wall at the end of boo lake for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Favorite part of the DLC - Playing the DLC.
2nd favorite part of the DLC - Watching reactions/rankings.
that literally means that your favourite part of the dlc is the dlc and watching people enjoy the dlc
@@bcsbernard Yes it does.
The first time I played London Loop my dad's girlfriend was playing too and she is from Britain so she knew exactly where we ere in the track. It made it so much fun. Also I noticed that the graphics for the tracks are getting better with each new wave
The anti-gravity section in Rock Rock Mountain was much needed especially with weird physics in Tour making items in that section function weird because of the elevation.
Rock Rock Mountain is also the first DLC track to have a different name in the UK: Alpine Pass.
This is also true for Piranha Plant Slide, Music Park and Neo Bowser City, which are called Piranha Plant Pipeway, Melody Motorway and Koopa City, respectively. And yes, they were all 3DS tracks.
20:59, One small change i don't really like there compared to Mario Kart 7 was that they removed some slight sound effects that played during the last lap sound effect. It's a minor nickpick though since i still think its a great course
This remake of 3DS Rainbow Road is my new favorite track, beating a track that was my favorite for 11 years
I like how you call tower bridge “a drawbridge” it made me laugh
My favorite part of Peach Gardens, is that me and my sister like to make up stories for most of these tracks. So we were just imagining that in Super Mario Odyssey, when Peach leaves the castle, her garden is just overtaken by enemies while the Toads just run around the background.
i genuinely love the lightning goofs in every mario video he makes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At first I was too to say that Maple freeways music in 8 is hard mid but after listening to it I actually like it. Not more then the original but I think it can stand on its own
I love the last section in merry mountain in online. Everyone is scrambling through and tossing items like crazy in that part. Really a mad dash to the finish
19:49
This had to be a Smash reference. This can't be a coincidence
What's crazy about this wave was the fact that they ALSO added a custom item rule!!! Now you can play the game in HUNDREDS of ways now in really fair or UNFAIR ways!!! (Also Boo Lake in MK8D is the Broken peir version of it from tour, Peach Gardens has Peach Gardens R from tour, and half pipes are in tour as well, please don't hate me on these facts though I really love your commentary)
Broken pier isnt in tour?
I really wish that the cylinder from rainbow road had anti gravity so you could drive on the ceiling to get more boost panels just in case you miss one.
Berlin Byways during laps 2 and 3 is a funny one during that intersection. One moment you boost through using your saved mushroom, and then get ran over by someone using a Bullet Bill, then squashed by a Thwomp.
When you're on a track with multiple routes that open up later in the race those routes on the mini map should be darker or something because then it would be easier to understand the map.
i've been waiting for this video since wednesday when the tracks came out and i played them myself. i'm excited to see your opinions on the wave!
edit: FINALLY THE SECOND TRACK OF THE WAVE ISNT GARBAGE
I disagree
@@noahppinkrevail that's alright
@@tmac_2717 Speaking of I actually think wave 2 is better then wave 3 because from my eyes the tracks that are good are Waluigi Pinball,Sydney Sprint,Snow Land,Mushroom Gore,Sky High Sundae for wave 2 and the tracks that impressed me in wave 3 are London Loop,Rock Rock mountain,Merry mountain, and berlin byways, and 5>4 so for me wave 2 is better
@@noahppinkrevail but i'm confused what did you have to disagree with? i never said i thought wave 3 was better(however i do think that)
ofc you're entitled to your own opinion and that's alright
You should make a vid about designing dry bones moveset if he was in smash
Wave 3 was by FAR the best wave in the pass so far.
I couldn’t call any tracks in this wave the worst track in the wave!
The tour city tracks are the highlights of every wave! They are always alot of fun and I always replay them, (They also have some of the best music our of any Mario Kart Track)
Glad to see my favorite track of any game, 3ds rainbow road, getting the recognition it deserves. Also, the music really is sooo good. I saw a video where the community ranked every song for each track in every Mario Kart game and 3ds rainbow road ranked 1st, yeah thats right, it beat every other track in every other game. Such a good track.
I like the Boo Lake remake, I don't mind them adding interesting dimensions, however I wonder if I'm the only one who really misses the falling walls mechanic. It used to be really neat and fitting to the horror that it starts out easy and gets harder the longer you race on the track because the walls that protect you from free falling get destroyed once someone bumps into them.
I find it kinda funny how MK8DX has now more rainbow roads then any other MK game
When I see the Whomps with the spray paint, it reminds me of the Berlin Wall
London loop map: *very complicated*
Me, a Brit who has been to London: *WELL AIN’T THAT OBVIOUS*
Okay, most of the booster pass tracks look absolutely horrendous, so when I heard that 3DS Rainbow Road was coming back, I was extremely nervous. But evidently the team understood what they were up against, because they made it a work of art. That particular Rainbow Road has always been a leading contender for the best track in the series with the only thing potentially holding it from that spot being the fact that it was a 3DS track; the visuals were limited. Now with this glow-up, I don't think there's a competition anymore.
I'm not sure if this is just me being weird, or if this is an actual feature, but the boost panels on rainbow road before the tunnel seem to pull you towards the actual path of the road. If that is intentional, that is amazing!
oh, the 'double pipe' air shortcut on alpine/rock rock course is actually slower than gliding to the right and hitting the pipe thats NOT blowing air and bounce/tricking off it and back onto the course according to the current WR (plus in a race thats less time in the air that u could get hit with a weapon etc)
Also in Mario Kart Wii if you bump into the wigglers, they won’t hurt you compared to Wave 3
There's a minor change to 3DS Rainbow Road that bothers me a ton. It's the sun. The sun was repositioned 90° anticlockwise and now during Lap 3, you're no longer driving into the sun, most notably on the big left turn at the end of the track. You drive into it during the moon segment, but it feels more epic during the final segment of the track
It doesn't ruin the track or anything, but it really ruins an aspect of the original track that I love
Glad i wasn't the only one to really miss that part, i made that last turn into it and was like "Where's the sun man cmon"
The fact that this cup not only has great tracks, but also make a couple of gameplay changes puts it above way higher than the previous two.
But, but, Berlin Byways can be played with THREE mushrooms in Time Trials! Therefore, IT’S THE BEST TRACK OF ALL TIME!!!
You can also glide through the hedges in the peach gardens track
I love watching odyssey analyze these tracks. just got the booster course pack today.
I hugely disagree with your opinion on Berlin Byways, but agree with pretty much everything else, glad you put Rainbow Road above Ninja Hideaway, and mentioned the gameplay changes
Did anyone else notice that Merry Mountain’s music sounds like something from Mario Galaxy?
I absolutely love Maple Treeway! I actually played it on Wii. It's awesome mostly because of that halfpipe. Can't get enough of it. By the way, the jump portion towards the finish line I think used to have a rope bridge. Gosh, a lot has changed since Wii.
You mean the jack-off bridge?
Fun fact: In Australia, we’re I’m from, Rock Rock Mountain is called Alpine Pass.
IVE BEEN WAITING OR THIS TY I LOVE YOUR VIDS
I didn't even watch the video fully yet I couldn't help but subscribe the moment I saw you playing as dry bones
I love how much care and attention they are giving to this five year old game. It makes sense as it's one of the most popular titles but still
Did they happen to re-implement the quarter pipes to coconut mall? It always bugged me that they didn't have them in the remake, but now that they brought them back, they may have put them back in at coconut mall
I can confirm they did not
Even watching that Rainbow Road gameplay got me hyped as all hell. That's amazing. I loved it on 3DS but WOW.
I've been waiting so long for this video
Fun fact... New york minute, Tokyo blur, Paris promenade, London Loop and Vancouver Velocity where the first five city tracks to be released in tour so that's were the boring straights come from
16:04 they should've had skiing shy guys
This is literally the first time I’ve watched a video with a tier list I fully agree with
Fun fact: for the Berlin byways part of the video, the “chapter” is called Biowaste
I was so busy enjoying this video that I nearly forgot about my tradition (that nobody really knows or cares about, but I'm still gonna do it). Here's the Wave 3 edition:
Rock Cup:
Tour London Loop: Even as a Tour player, I was never a big fan of the track. There aren't a lot of interesting landmarks to see, it drags on for way too long at times, and the music is a weird choice (I know why it is what it is, it's just that I don't think of London when I hear it). That being said, it is the most complicated city track so far, so I'll give it that. 7/10
GBA Boo Lake: I really liked the remake in Tour, so it's no surprise that I like it in 8DX. It's spooky, makes you feel on edge, it's actually a lake now, and yet you want to keep playing on it. I especially love the way they incorporated anti-gravity. Also, it's the first DLC track in general to have underwater driving. Really, my only complaint is that it's short, but otherwise, it's amazing! 9/10
3DS Rock Rock Mountain: Was never the biggest fan of this track, but I do enjoy playing on it. I actually really like the gliding here, which, considering how this game's gilder mechanics work, is surprising. I do wish it didn't look so bland though. Also, the music rocks (pun intended). 8/10
Wii Maple Treeway: What can I say about this that hasn't already been said. One of my favorite tracks of all time got a huge upgrade, and I love it! 10/10
Moon Cup:
Tour Berlin Byways: I might be biased, considering I do play Tour, but this is my favorite city track! It's just so fun to drive through, I like seeing all the landmarks, the traffic makes it interesting while not being too hard (btw, it's the first city track to have actual moving traffic), and the music is such a bop, although you should listen to a mashup of the original and remix, they complement each other so well! I do get where you're coming from, though, but let me tell you something: all the remaining city tracks are very unique in their own way, especially Vancouver, L.A., Singapore, and Bangkok, so that critique of all the city tracks blending together won't be much of an issue with the remaining waves. 9/10
DS Peach Gardens: While this track wasn't never my favorite from DS (Airship Fortress when?), I do like what they did with it. It looks so good, the music is really nice, and that 3rd lap caught me off guard. It's solid. 8/10
Merry Mountain: I really like this track, especially the aesthetic! The music is really good, and I do enjoy playing on it, although I do agree that the downhill section is a little bland. 9/10
3DS Rainbow Road: My favorite track of all time. What can I say? This isn't a race. It's a journey. My only real complaint is that the moon music should've been a little calmer, but otherwise, it's perfect! Beyond 10/10
Overall, this wave is objectively the best wave in the BCP. Nintendo is going to have a really difficult time topping it, and I'm more excited than I've ever been.
I am a Tour player too, the fact that you felt the need to put that in parentheses about expecting ppl to mock you, that makes me genuinely believe the MK community is a bunch of toxic kids, one of the worst communities of ppl behind the Fortnite community
@@WritingCountingOriginal You make a good point. Every community has some bad apples, and this is no exception. I was honestly just trying to make a funny joke about me being a Tour player, but the way I worded it was not the best. I apologize if it may have offended you and I have removed the joke.
@@FidGame450 you didn’t offend me nor did you have to edit. It just reminded me the bad side of the community, that’s all.
Yay! I was waiting for this video to come out.
I’ve been waiting for so long IT’S FINALY OUT
12:31 I just realized the concrete sidewalk has an asphalt bumpmap for some reason. It is especially noticeable when he bumps into the sidewalk and the light from the star effects show off the oddly shiny concrete.
The custom items mode sounds really fun! I can't wait to try it later!
Also I'm so glad they fixed the lightning, it makes the game a little less frustrating
"Personally, I prefer the air." Love the Falco Smash Bros. reference.
These Mario Kart 8 Level-by-Levels are great.
You made me pause the video with my mouth wide open when you said fully customizable items.
I personally cannot get over the fact that we literally get to drive through the fall of the Berlin Wall
I can't remember if we can adjust laps per track. Would be nice to do 2 laps for 64 and 3ds rainbow road on 200cc. They would feel perfect in length that way. Adding a 4th lap for 200 cc for other track would pad out the length.
Star cup has competition with the moon cup 👀
id like to point out
the glider ramps in Toad Circuit and Merry Mountain come out at the same time in 200cc as in every other cc
it's just
you're going fast enough to where you pass it before it can open
Fun little aspect about 3DS RR that I knew wouldn't come back but still thought was worth mentioning, in the original 7 theres a huge super jump you can do on the last turn, which you do by going for a mini turbo and then drifting to the right and then bunny hopping again to get some height, to jump from right near the slope and land either right on the jump ramp or straight to the finish line if you have TAS level skills. I've stolen so many races by doing that super jump and it was always a really intense thing because its so risky to go for, yet so satisfying when you land it, which I miraculously did often and it always remained satisfying. Also, like you said, you anticipate the turn pretty heavily beforehand so theres a buildup to that huge jump
Also, there's a similar skip after gliding off Saturn that let's you skip to the left and straight to the 2nd set of panels like a Mushroom shortcut (which I usually used to do it if I had a triple) (if you want to see some of what I'm talking about look up some TAS runs of the course, theres one with metal mario in the thumbnail that I know has an even more elaborate version of these two skips)
I'm of course disappointed these aspects didn't come back in 8, but it was because they smoothed the track out some more so it wasn't just due to 8 having higher gravity like I expected. I still like it more in 7 mechanically and partially visually, but I still absolutely love it in 8 and it easily makes my too 5 in 8, and remains one of if not my favorite track in the series
I think it'll be dope to have holes in the spinning cylinder section of rainbow road like that Run 2 ice skating game. But overall that track is so fire
I have been waiting for this🙏
Mario Kart 7 is one of the only two games I haven't owned in the series, and that excellent Rainbow Road was a tremendously pleasant surprise
I just thought of something! Imagine if you could play some of the Tour courses in battle mode without any arrows or barriers meaning you can go wherever while battling! Courses like London Loop and Paris Promenade would make perfect battle courses!
“Even if many of us wish london weren’t real” wtf does that mean.
You know what he said
man this was really good wave 3 dlc set of tracks. they did almost all of the tracks right in this dlc except for boo lake (which just felt way too short for a track) other then that i enjoyed every single track in this dlc wave.
gotta say i disagree about rock rock mounatin/alpine pass (depending what region ur in the names diff) cuz the cave u say has 'less obstacles than choco mountain' def has more as its more narrow AND has two big stone pillars right in the middle so u have to drift tight or wide or weave and then it drops down almost like a roller coaster into that high launching point - tbh i love that level since i think it stands out a LOT since its the most glider heavy level but also one where it ACTUALLY makes sense to glide even when ur tryna save time/not dodge weapons or pick up items etc
