What Makes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe So Perfect?

Mario Kart is a series spanning many decades, and in 2014 we saw the release of the 8th installment, Mario Kart 8. This iteration of Mario Kart is easily the biggest in the series, and today I take a deep dive into what makes it so amazing. This is a Mario Kart 8 retrospective.

3:48 Just a small correction here, Wii and 7 also had alternative character title screens you could unlock by completing every cup in the game like in 8

Alright fuck it, this video literally made me decide to buy a switch

18:40 This sounds weird, but i play the game at top level and the coin actually is not a bad item to pull in some situations. In a room where almost everyone has very good driving, pulling a coin at the first box while in first over a defensive item can really help you keep your lead and front run the track

One of the things I truly appreciate on the N64 Rainbow Road is all the attention to detail. Not just from the lighted city far beneath, and the character fireworks, but because they have a whole Train with Toads actively tossing coins onto the track. Giving one of the only cases where they actively show how collected coins reappear for other laps or for other racers further behind. It really adds to some immersion factor when they have this active delivery system with a visual explanation for how those coins keeping showing up on the track.

Mario kart 8 has come along way i remember loving the game back on the wii u in 2014 but it definitely had its flaws.

The battle mode sucked, the character roster was disappointing and i hated only being able to use 1 item at a time.

Fast forward to the end of the BCP, all those issues were fixed. Improved item system, all the missing favourite characters were back and battle mode was fixed.

This game truly was something special.

I believe the extra title screens are actually unlockables, with the only one available initially being the N64 Rainbow Road one.

Finally, someone who is not dragging MK8D. Thank you for giving your thoughts about this amazing game!!!

The Coin is actually a returning item from Super Mario Kart.

The strange thing is I'm actually quite indifferent to a fair amount of tracks that were new to 8 around 2014 but once the DLC and Booster tracks came out I absolutely loved them, and I really enjoy a majority of retro tracks.

Personally, this game is my favorite track with tick tock clock as a close second. Simply because of the short cut on it, swapping between the two split roads to create a mostly short line is amazing

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is by far the best Mario Kart and one of my favorite games of all times.

Wii stans after seeing this video:0h wHAt aBouT WII?

I do think MK8DX is a major upgrade over its predecessor, MK8. However, considering I owned MK8 since launch, I personally feel as though I’ve been stuck playing the same Mario Kart game for nearly 10 years now.

Despite MK8DX adding in new tracks and characters, the physics and items remain the same. I hate to say that I feel quite burned out with the game. Sure, it is a great game, and I’m glad people enjoy it! But I’m just very ready for the next thing.

Every time I'm reminded of the battle mode in the OG Mario Kart 8, a part of me dies internally. But 8 Deluxe's battle mode is peak! My favorite battle course being Urchin Underpass.

Bowser Jr saying "Yahoo I won, yay" at the end just sent me for some reason

[ElseAndrecool]

the only Nintendo console I have is a Wii U so seeing all the stuff in this game on the Switch made me a little jealous

[Anthony_Smith]

It's honestly kind of funny that the improved battle mode was one of mk8d's biggest selling points. They knew they messed up big time with the wii u version so they wanted people to know upfront that they fixed it.

why is everyone's favorite map sunshine airport?? me included lol

I will protect bone dry dunes with my life.
