10 Years of Mario Kart 8

[@nintendweeb]

So crazy that when MK8 first came out, the big nostalgia crowd-pleaser was N64 Rainbow Road, but by the time the final Booster Course Pass Wave came out the big nostalgia crowd-pleaser was Wii Rainbow Road

[@imBailout]

Adding onto the Mario Kart formula was a pretty common practice with the last few entries (motion controls, gliding/underwater, zero gravity) but 8’s longevity has made some of these feel like series staples even if they’ve only shown up twice. I wouldn’t be surprised if the gap between 8 and 9 practically kills this habit of adding some new way to race.

[@leonro]

I doubt we'll see zero gravity go away. It makes so many more track designs possible, since now you're not limited to a plain map. All of the features you mentioned enrich the game without limiting its design in any way, so I can't see them being removed in the future either. As for a new gimmick, it's almost guaranteed that we will see something. Zero gravity was pretty tame in terms of gameplay changes, and they need to bring in something new to make the next one make sense as a new entry. Otherwise, why would you want to play Mario Kart 9 when 8D has 96 courses? It's extremely unlikely that 9 will match that number, or even 8 classic's 48 (+DLC). Also, you should note that most of the Mario Kart additions have been retained, other than the odd items here and there. The only entry that felt far more experimental and hasn't translated to later entries is Double Dash, with the two drivers and special items mechanics.

[@williammarroush3851]

I'd love it if they added a double dash mode. That'd be such a good way to throwback to that title as well as creating a new way to race

My only real gripe with 8 deluxe after all the dlc and updates is that you can't swap the two items in the slot like in double dash. You don't even use the Y button in a race so why not use it. Yeah it might be awkward to hit it during a race, but I still wish it was possible

[@TheMack625]

Mario Kart 8...what a game. I followed it closely since its unveiling in 2013. After picking it up alongside a Wii U system in summer 2014, MK8 became one of my most treasured games. I like how you talked about the roster. Yeeeeah, back in 2014 the base game had a rocky selection of players. I _love_ the Koopalings, even geeking out from their trailer, but they took up a quarter of the selection. I speculate that they were given priority, seeing that their animations are lovely and they got new voice actors (except Roy). That also explains why Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach were thrown in as fodder, but I digress. Incidentally, nice shout-out to Koopa Kid at 15:14 . I would have absolutely loved seeing my favorite Mario character in Mario Kart 8. But seriously, this game was already a banger on Wii U; the two big DLC packs ensured lots of playtime from me. When it got ported to the Switch as 8 Deluxe, that was cool. Obviously, the big draw to Deluxe was the Battle Mode. I didn't outright despise it on Wii U, but 8 Deluxe's Battle Mode is vastly improved. Like you, I'm drawn more to the core racing, but having an occasional battle is fun to mix things up. And then comes the Booster Course Pass. Everyone was caught off guard from the announcement. Looking into it, it makes sense that Nintendo would want to preserve the city tracks from Mario Kart Tour. Couple that with the dominant sales of 8 Deluxe itself, and there's no need for a completely new Mario Kart on Switch. I enjoy playing the tracks of the BCP, despite the jarring difference in aesthetic. What really sold me were the added characters; seeing Birdo, Petey Piranha, and especially Diddy Kong now in Mario Kart 8 is a dream come true. Even Funky Kong, Pauline, and Kamek are loads of fun. All that said, Mario Kart 8 is truly a special game. Good job covering its 10-year history.

We call it Mariokart 8, kids today know it Mariokart infinity ♾️

Hard to get nostalgic when things never go away.

I think something that would greatly improve the feel of MK (literally) would be ramping up the intensity and feel of the rumble. I want to feel the texture of the terrain I'm driving on, the rumble of the engine, and THE SPEED. MK8/8D is a bit too *smooth* feeling.

10 years, boy time really goes by fast! My Mario kart 8 story: during the 3DS and the Wii U era I could have gotten Mario kart 8 myself on the Wii U but during that time I was a middle schooler and the only games I had were Disney Infinity 2.0, Super Smash Bros and Super Mario 3D Land and much more. Of course during that era I did try out the game myself and it was pretty good but I wasn't that completely interested in it, I could have gotten the game entirely or at any moment during that era but unfortunately there would be times I would have my Wii U privileges taken away when I was young. (But I still had my 3DS with me thankfully) Eventually I would get Mario kart 8 deluxe for the switch and after playing the game a whole lot more I've come to actually appreciate it a lot and It's basically the Super Smash Bros Ultimate of Mario kart from my point of view. Mario kart 8 deluxe is a phenomenal masterpiece!

I hope they release one more DLC for MK8's 10th anniversary. ;D

46:27 they also removed the ability to extend boosts (like mushrooms or drift boosts) by constantly hopping from left to right repeatedly, necessary if you wanted to be competitive online and balance changes to items including how they worked (regarding placement and distance from first place) completely.

Perfect way to celebrate Smash Ultimate's 5 year anniversary
