    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

    This doesn't belong in the "racing game" category, it's just a DLC ffs. This can't be better than a full game lol.

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

    Nice DLC, nice to go back to those nostalgic tracks with some modern twists.

    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 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.    … Expand

    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 up compared to those. Only criticism is how they picked DS Mario Circuit over DS Airship Fortress. Still a good track though.

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

    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.

    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]

    With the brand new course Yoshi's Island in all of its nostalgic charm, plenty of familiar tracks, and a few more Mario Kart Tour courses, Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass provides a ton of kart-racing fun that anyone will thoroughly enjoy.
