    Whether Nintendo intendeds to reuse it for the inevitable Mario Kart 9 is impossible to say, but perhaps there might be some hint as to their future plans once the Booster Pass finally ends. Knowing Nintendo, they’ll more likely keep their secrets to the last moment but it really doesn’t matter because combined with all this DLC it’s difficult to imagine how anything could better Mario Kart 8.

    I like how well detailed it is even though they have put circuits of the Mario kart tour it is quite handsome to have a good time

    I'll give this DLC an 88%. All DLC Wave 4 tracks are great! You can't go wrong with the classic DK Summit from Mario Kart Wii. It's nice toI'll give this DLC an 88%. All DLC Wave 4 tracks are great! You can't go wrong with the classic DK Summit from Mario Kart Wii. It's nice to see Riverside Park return to Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Yoshi's Island is a very creative race track to race on. Amsterdam Drift has great music and so does Waluigi Stadium.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Since it's mediocre start, the booster course pass has been getting better and better and wave 4 is good one. It is definitely weaker than wave 3 as all of wave 3 tracks were quality (and wave 3 gave us 3Ds rainbow road so that already makes it the best wave of them all). Amsterdam drift is a good track but underwhelming. Lap 2 takes place in the canals of Amsterdam but there are no obstacles or anything in this sections which makes them pretty boring. Ds Mario's circuit, while still a good track, was also underwhelming. There was a lot of missed potential with Peaches castle. Why couldn't we go through it and then go backwards like we could in Peaches gardens? Bangkok Rush was clearly rushed tho (Pun not intended), they toom out the Ink Piranha plants from the highway section and other things.
    Apart from that, this wave was great. The GCN Waluigi stadium remake was awesome and the GBA riverside park remake from Mario kart tour was also great.
    Even though wave 3 was weaker than wave 3, it's still a great one and it made sense that the tracks were easy as those wave 4 cups are essentially the green shell and banana cups. 8.5/10.    … Full Review »
