VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Mario Kart 8 is the gift that keeps giving. When it arrived on the WiiU in 2014 it became, arguably, the best racing game of all time. Three years later, when it launched as a deluxe model on the WiiU’s successor, the Switch, it had miraculously become even better, thanks to an overhauled battle mode and the inclusion of all previously-released DLC. Now, five years after that, it receives eight additional remastered courses the first of 48 planned DLC tracks, which will bring the grand total to 96 by the end of 2023.
After playing through the eight new tracks over the weekend including a lengthy online session with friends and family Saturday night I’m ready to rank the first wave, starting with the weakest addition and ending with the very best.”
