I don't think they'll ever manage to top the Yoshi's Island track from the last wave. That was one of the coolest MK tracks ever. The music and visuals were amazing. Looking forward to this wave anyways though.

Yeah that track really is awesome. Fun to race and to look at.

Here’s the list for those who don’t want to watch the video:

Athens Dash (Mario Kart Tour)

Daisy Cruiser (Mario Kart Double Dash)

Moonview Highway (Mario Kart Wii)

Squeaky Clean Sprint (brand new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe track)

Los Angeles Laps (Mario Kart Tour)

Sunset Wilds (Mario Kart Super Circuit)

Koopa Cape (Mario Kart Wii)

Vancouver Velocity (Mario Kart Tour)

I'm increasingly disappointed by the tracks that don't look or feel at least a little bit like a race track. That includes the Tour tracks, but also things like Squeaky Clean Sprint. They're really cute and fun to look at, but it's gotten increasingly difficult to tell what is track and what is not.

Would some racing curbs kill the track designers?

Too many Tour tracks, always flat and uninteresting to play.

The average quality of the others looks below the previous ones.

No reason to add Moonview Highway, another city track…

Happy to see Daisy Cruser, but seing the video, it looks less bouncy to play that the original one.

Really not a huge fan of the Tour tracks. They’re fine but they always feel poorly designed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can tell they were designed for mobile phones

The tour tracks are all terrible as far as I’m concerned

Does the purchase of the one booster pack get access to this too, or is this an additional $25? Not doing that silly online plus for half baked emulators.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if you got the booster pass you get all six waves.

This game has become huge. It'll probably be an all-time Mario Kart

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mario Kart is the gift that keeps on giving! I wonder where they can take the series from here. It's like Smash after Ultimate, I can't imagine what they'll do for the next title in the series, but I'm ready to be surprised 👍

A Mario Kart Maker, where one can build their own tracks would be amazing.

They can also do "psychodelic" graphics like in Super Mario Wonder.

Other than that, I can only think of more charachters and items.
