Are The Wave 4 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course DLC Tracks Good? | Level By Level

Mario Kart 8 deluxe, after 5 years of being the Nintendo switch’s best selling game, is finally getting DLC in the form of the booster course pass. This is going to be bringing 48 retro tracks to mario kart deluxe from super mario kart, mario kart 64, mario kart super circuit, mario kart double dash, mario kart DS, mario kart wii, mario kart 7, and mario kart tour! The fourth wave of the dlc dropped a few days ago containing two cups, the Fruit cup and Boomerang cup. That brought over a total of 8 tracks, Amsterdam Drift, Riverside Park, DK Summit, Yoshi’s Island, Bangkok Rush, Mario Circuit DS, Waluigi Stadium, and Singapore Speedway. In today’s episode of level by level we're going to take a look at all 8 of these tracks to see if they’re good or bad retro tracks and put them in a tier list! Oh and there are now going to be new characters like Birdo, neat!

To all of you Mario Circuit DS fans, While I still may not be a huge fan of the track, at least we can all agree it’s a WAY better choice than figure 8 circuit Edit: errrrrrrrrm awkward somehow I forgot to put rock rock mountain and Merry mountain on the tier list, just imagine they’re in the exact same spots from last wave……

[@matearonmiskolczi1995]

Did you know they buffed certain characters? Yes, Waluigi-Wiggler is dead, so the new meta is Rosalina-TeddyBuggy (yes that stinks) but they also buffed Dry Bones, and he started getting some time trial world records, so that's great😅

[@ToadDuck]

I would say mario circuit DS is one of the better dlc tracks, certainly not s but i liked it enough to be high B Also: the piranha plants aim so good they are a good challenge And theres a wiggler, a reference to mkDS mission mode!

[@diggitydonny7183]

@@Odyssey_Centralnot really though whenever it simply isn’t basic. It’s the most diverse circuit track (not counting Hyrule) in not just the BCP but base MK8 and it plays great with several cool course elements with unique ones like the sleeping and waking wigglers and Fire Piranha Plants, not to mention several big off-road shortcuts.

[@oregano689]

Singapore Speedway is an S for me. While a lot of tour tracks are kinda straight up boring, Singapore is anything but that. There’s a lot of gliding and changes in the y-axis which I think is fun. The chinatown has its own unique theme and aesthetic and I love how you drive through it twice. And of course, the music is a straight up bop. I think the music is a huge improvement from the tour rendition. I’d say this course is up there with Yoshi’s Island and 3DS Rainbow Road

[@bw-leftturnracing7779]

You know what's funny, when playing these tracks with friends, a lot of them said that DS Mario Circuit was one of their favorites in the wave because it was really fun to drive and the layout was more challenging than most circuit tracks.

​​@@Odyssey_Central Maybe on Lap 3, the track turns from its normal version to Tour's T variant. Which does include a glider ramp, just before the waterfall at the end.

[@oxthcar]

@@Odyssey_Central Maybe there could be bigger piranha plants near the finish line, then we could glide out of the cave? If you were forced out of your glider then you would drop down, which would mean avoiding massive pirahna plants.

[@El_Omar2203]

At least for me, Singapore Speedway is a high A tier, it has so much high energy and changes of scenery, the water fountains, the rooftop pools, Chinatown, the conveyor belt at the start of lap three and the subsequent jump across the giant flower structure, the night setting along the fantastic music also helps it. Of all the city tracks so far, this one feels the most like it could be a Special Cup original without being based on a real city. As for Bangkok Rush, I feel that the lack of "scenery" is made up for how tricky the track can be in many of its turns, for me is mid-to-high B. I totally agree with your opinion on Amsterdam Drift.

Like really, especially on 200cc it’s sometimes so frustrating how inconsistent and buggy it is. (To clarify the Wii version is in my top 5 favorite tracks ever. I’m alright with change but man these MK8DX half pipes are just not it lol)

[@IDKisReal2401]

By the way as usual all the tracks are based on their Tour counterparts, including Yoshi's Island which was datamined for Tour ages ago I mention this because this is obviusly the case for GBA Riverside Park too, however the Ptooies weren't there originally, so even in that department the tracks are getting better Also you can turn of the controls menu in the NSO apps in the respective settings menues

[@dillongeorge5866]

I think all your character predictions will come true, but I’m not sure about R.O.B./King Bob-omb. One of the Tour tracks likely to be ported is a track called Piranha Plant Cove, and the track honors Petey Piranha a lot. We might see him as the final character instead R.O.B would be freakin hilarious and amazing to see come back tho 😂

The other tracks were very fun too. There's something I really enjoyed about Mario Circuit DS. Waluigi Stadium and DK Summit speak for themselves.

[@Snsy]

You can actually do the whole DK Summit double cut without mushrooms even in 150cc

[@TheRedCometKid]

Being sick at home, your video enlightened me. Thanks!

[@ratty7983]

One interesting thing about each wave is it’s like they’ve teased the potential of a feature in each wave and it’s been expanded the next wave. Ninja Hideaway teased decent graphics in Wave 1 (the only bad example I have), but Wave 2 teased anti grav in Sky-High Sundae, while several tracks had it well implemented in Wave 3, Wave 3 teased half pipes with 2 total while wave 4 had 2 tracks that went nuts with them and you could say wave 4 teased the new characters with 1 (Birdo), while, if they release the rest of them per-wave, we’ll get 2 and 3 characters in the next 2 waves.

[@andreblueboy6019]

20:48 Honestly I’ll be real, when you said “you know what’s not solid though..?” I got scared thinking that you were going to say that the music was not good, but when you said that “it’s way TOO good!” I sighed of relief, I liked the music track a lot as well when I played this course for the first time. But honestly I’m super excited for what’s going to happen for waves 5 and 6! 21:29 also this was pretty funny to me

[@x4KRyanx]

Some things I would like to point out that weren't mention In the video. On Bangkok Rush there is a hidden grass shortcut where on the gliding section after the statue in the middle, if you go right and make it over the fence into the grass patch start a drift to the right and mushroom to Skip the turn after the glider section when going normally. DS Mario circuit has a shortcut in the forest section by cutting through the trees. And the gravity paths on Waluigi Stadium are sadly not faster to what the WR found out.

[@Lincolnium_]

Level by Level is still my favorite series to watch, and I become legit hyped, especially for these Mario Kart videos.

[@RedL1keRoses7]

Maybe I’m just easy to please but Singapore Speedway might actually be one of my favourite tracks in the game

[@r.t.dagreatyo9761]

I’d like to point out that you didn’t necessarily describe the novelty of China town in Singapore Speedway. Not only does it change the aesthetic a little bit but the music changes while you’re driving in it. It’s not just a “generic city portion” like you claimed, even if the layout of Chinatown portion is not ecstatic

[@flamingpaper7751]

In Tour, Bangkok Rush actually has Inky Piranha Plants, which spit black liquid on the ground, which is basically just oil slicks, but your screen gets covered in ink like from a blooper if you drive through them. Instead you just have the random chompy boys under the bridge on Laps 1 and 3, instead of a brand new enemy type

[@zackbuono5246]

While I understand how boring it can be for there to be another circuit track in the new dlc, i think that it adds a uniqueness that can't be felt on its own, because with over 60 tracks now, it's refreshing to have some simple roads to drive on, especially if you're a fan of more "realistically" designed courses that tone down the whackyness. Are they my favorite, no, but I enjoy the simple breakup between all the rush.

[@alexanderallison584]

I actually like DS Mario Circuit a lot, it's an A-tier track for me and is my second-favorite circuit in the game behind Yoshi Circuit and just ahead of Royal Raceway. I like circuit tracks when they're done well and I think it's a pretty common opinion that DS MC is among the best in the series layout-wise, so I'm very happy it made it in. I definitely know that I'm in the minority here, but a good circuit track can be super satisfying to drive on in my opinion

I personally hope they add some more battle courses in the later waves, I don't play battle mode very much myself but it would make it much more interesting for the people that do and would give me more incentive to do so myself. If they do end up doing that, my most-wanted picks would be Wii Funky Stadium and N64 Double Deck (even though neither of them are in Tour)

I just noticed, with every wave, the amount of S Tiers in your list (at least initially) matches the wave number Wave 1 only has 1 with Ninja Hideaway, Wave 2 has 2 with Kalimari Desert and Waluigi Pinball, Wave 3 had 3 with Maple Treeway, Peach Gardens and 3DS Rainbow Road (though now Boo Lake is in S), and Wave 4 has 4 with the last 3 tracks of the fruit cup and Waluigi Stadium. If this continues, then Waves 5 and 6 are gonna be phenomenal

[@tmac_2717]

i do a dk summit double cut setup on lap 1 by not tricking immediately off the left side, it gives 4 coins (or 5 if youre good) which makes the shortcut much easier imo

[@Fizzsama]

Controversial opinion I'm sure, but DS Mario Circuit is my favorite track of this wave. It and Riverside Park are just too fun to race on and the shortcuts and aesthetic are so so good. Honestly I think getting some more simple circuit tracks in these waves is a good thing to help break up the cups and provide variety. I just think the choices have been mid until now. We should have gotten Daisy Circuit instead of Toad Circuit. SNES Mario 3 can stay I guess, and DS Mario Circuit is great so if we had to only get 3 circuit tracks those are the 3 I would have picked.

[@mimikyutubesaltaccount4875]

I’d prefer Mario Circuit 4 over 3 simply because it’s the only one that hasn’t been remade outside of Super Circuit but I respect your opinion nonetheless

[@castform7]

Originally, I thought this wave was a step down from 3 but that was mainly due to 3DS Rainbow Road and Maple Treeway's backs hurting from carrying. After a bit, I came to realise these were a great selection. The city courses while still not amazing are probably my favourites so far and in general I don't have any major gripes from the tracks here. I even DS Mario Circuit track layout and music wise even though it was probably the second worst choice for a DS track right behind Figure 8 Circuit.

[@shanegiorgio4713]

Personally I think Yoshi Falls and Desert Hills are weaker DS tracks than Mario Circuit, but to each their own

[@mimikyutubesaltaccount4875]

@Shane Giorgio I agree with Yoshi Falls, however I think I’d prefer Desert Hills over DS Mario Circuit, because its layout is interesting enough so that it makes some sense to add in, plus the only other desert track we have in the BCP is Kalamari Desert (although you could argue Toad Circuit counts too because it feels like a desert playing on it) and while Desert Hills is far from the best desert track out there, I’d still prefer it over another circuit track

I seem to maintain an unpopular opinion about the city courses. With some exception, I think that most of them are great fun in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Anyway, DK Summit is my favorite. I loved this in Mario Kart Wii, and it's just as fun in this game. Yoshi's Island comes very close behind. I'm mildly indifferent to Amsterdam Drift, but love both Bangkok Rush and Singapore Speedway. Bangkok in particular has a banger section with the parking garage. Between all the fun tracks and Birdo now joining the roster, this is a great wave of Booster Course Pass. Nice stuff, Odyssey.

Fun Fact, you also have the exact same character predictions as I have for the Booster Course Pass, LET'S HOPE WE'RE RIGHT 🤞💜🤞🌟 (edit) : Oh and I mean the last cup being the Spiny Cup- and I know people are saying we might get like 4 rainbow roads to represent the difficulty to fit the Spiny Blue Shell but I'm sure it will be different, or at least I can very well see them just doing normal tracks, so in the Spiny, Acorn or Feather cup I feel like Airship Fortress, is definitely a viable option here. Like, for feather becuz of flying airship, Spiny becuz of Bowser shell + final levels of the Mario World games + its the final cup (kind of a reach) and Acorn Cup becuz propeller stuff + Mario World Wii Final levels. anyways I 'm grasping at straws here but I just want to find a valid reason to have it so badly 😩💜⭐

[@stupidergamer1122]

You can actually do the gap jump in DK Summit on 150cc also

[@ade1174]

My two cents: 8. DS Mario Circuit - This is a pretty basic track, but the new forest section spruces things up, and the fire piranhas are a decently hard hazard. 7. DK Summit - Not gonna lie, I was a little let down by this track. I love the tight drifting, but the snow patches are annoying, and it feels too short. 6. Riverside Park - It's a short track but a gorgeous one. Ptooies are a very unique obstacle, and I love the new cave and waterfall at the end. 5. Bangkok Rush - The sunset and multiple paths make for a unique city track that's in my top 5 in 8 Deluxe so far. Too bad the ink piranhas from Tour got cut. 4. Amsterdam Drift - I love that we finally have an underwater segment in a city track. Some of the drifts in this track are really fun too. 3. Singapore Speedway - So much aesthetic variety in this one. I love the speed rings, the water geysers, the goombas chilling in the pool, the conveyors, and racing through Chinatown. 2. Waluigi Stadium - We waited an entire year for a Double Dash track and Waluigi Stadium delivers. I love how it looks. It looks better than most base game tracks. The bumpy track, halfpipes, and mechanical piranhas as well as fire bars make for an exciting time. 1. Yoshi's Island - This is such a beautiful homage to the classic SNES platformer. I couldn't help but smile while playing this track. I love how it looks and sounds just like Yoshi's Island. The Yoshi coins and victory jingle are perfect.

DK summit is my favorite track in wii and now it’s my favorite track in deluxe it’ll be hard to top that

[@kingterrellgourde7]

My s tier tracks in this wave are Amsterdam drift dk’s snowboard cross yoshi’s island mario circuit from mario kart ds waluigi stadium and Singapore speedway

[@willbrock1962]

Sky garden was actually a banger in mario kart DS, easily one of the best retro tracks in that game especially since it was otherwise lacking a track with the sky theme

[@DraftyDaftyHubertOHare]

The music also changes in the Chinatown segment of Singapore

[@kingterrellgourde7]

My favourite wave 4 tracks in the booster course pass are Amsterdam drift dk’s snowboard cross yoshi’s island Mario circuit from Mario kart ds waluigi stadium and Singapore speedway

Honestly I kinda wish the statue in DK Summit was of Funky Kong, as well for the name of the track to be FK Summit to boot.

It would be cool if they added a WarioWare character in the last spot. It was always weird to me that they didn’t appear in any Mario games.

Um, actually Odyssey Central, you can do the gap cut on Mushroom Gorge with a mushroom on 150cc but it's harder than 200cc. Also, you don't need a mushroom for the gap cut on 150cc or else you go into the out of bounds area. Just though you should know because I wanted to tell you this just so you know. (But I do wanna say I LOVE your content) :)

[@DimEstion]

Finally they included my favorite character light blue birdo at last!!!!!!!! Also they might add some sort of variation of an existing character. It would be really shocking and a miracle if they did not include variations.

Hey Odyssey, I've been thinking about trying to get into making Nintendo YT videos (specifically Mario Kart Wii and Splatoon 3, maybe some BotW too) and was wanting to know what you'd recommend in the way of capture cards.

Ngl, i didn't expect much from ds Mario circuit, but little did i know that i would enjoy this track every time i play it, it's one of my favorites now, still wanted airship fortress tho 😥

[@Loguana]

Yea:(

[@bluberrydee6205]

i personally feel like its good to remake tracks that haven't been already just for variety's sake both this and shroom ridge are banger tracks tbh 🕺🕺
