    The grand finale of Wave 4 is a bold, brand-new Yoshi's Island! It's an incredible original track that is a complete homage to the 1995 SNES classic, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It manages to fit references to dozens of iconic characters and locations from that 16-bit masterpiece into its loop, and it's honestly the best such track Nintendo has ever made! It's pure delight from end to end for anyone who's ever played that game. [Issue #65 – May/June 2023, p. 24]

    Mario Kart 8 is the reliable assurance of fun for any evening with friends and it is by far the best arcade racer across all platforms.

    Wave 4 delivers more of that sweet racing goodness to this near-perfect game. It’s hard to criticize something so fun and fresh; in fact, the only obvious negative is that we’re now down to the final two waves. Let’s see what’s next.

    Wave 4 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass is arguably the best to date, featuring serious glow-ups to fan favorites. The inclusion of the new Yoshi’s Island track would have been more than enough to steal the show, but the rest of its roster this go-around most certainly strives for greatness.

    Wave 4 has continued to deliver, and as each and every wave before it, the courses lifted from Mario Kart Tour are fun additions, particularly with branching paths, alternative routes and reversed laps. It is particularly exciting to see new characters returning and having Birdo on the roster is certainly warmly welcomed. Yoshi's Island stands out in Wave 4, not only for being a new and original track but also for unique musical themes and being such a varied course overall. Subtle changes to DKs Snowboard Cross, Waluigi Stadium and Mario Circuit all make improvements on their original counterparts and Riverside Park looks fantastic. This is an enjoyable set of tracks and adds to what is an already fantastic package from other waves of the Booster Course Pass.

    And because she’s finally making her debut in Deluxe, this review will be all about Birdo.

    Best wave yet, I can’t wait for wave 5 and 6. My favourite course in this wave has to be Yoshi’s Island.

    This is awesome compared to the last 3 waves. Wave 1 was rather mediocre, Wave 2 was alright, Wave 3 was pretty good, but this a step upThis is awesome compared to the last 3 waves. Wave 1 was rather mediocre, Wave 2 was alright, Wave 3 was pretty good, but this a step up compared to those. Only criticism is how they picked DS Mario Circuit over DS Airship Fortress. Still a good track though. Expand

    This is just a DLC, not a full-blown game. It doesn't need to be ranked this highly up on the list.
