    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.

    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.
