My Nitpicks About the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass

The Mario Kart 8 deluxe booster course pass DLC is just one wave away from completion. While it's been a great ride so far getting fan favorite tracks like waluigi pinball and coconut mall, the booster course pass has beenfar from perfect. So today I'm going to list of my nitpicks about the mario kart 8 deluxe booster course pass, along with some of yours from the comments!

Birdo has different color options despite not having other canon colors, but Toad and Koopa still only have one color option

[@HungryWarden]

That bothers me. Maybe they could bring back the Underground Green Koopa color scheme from SMB1 for a blue Koopa Troopa.

[@wryglitter4186]

What really bothers me is that there's no purple option for yoshi,birdo and shy guy

[@IceFox09]

Green and Red Birdo do exist in SMB2, but I really agree with the Toad nitpick.

Even worse, different colors toad assets DO exist! (In the standings) So Nintendo has no excuse of not adding them

[@____David]

Another thing about Sunset Wilds is in the original, if you ran into the tents, a shy guy would hold onto you and slow you down, it was another neat little thing that I liked a lot that sadly got executed in the 8 Deluxe version...

[@5742_]

A video i saw recently by HDRookie mentioned this. The reason they didn’t include this was probably because it looked like the Shy Guy was doing… certain… things to your character when it latches on, and I doubt Nintendo wanted to have that issue again.

Of course they cant add that into MK8, I don't even know how that'll function in MK8. But the sunset it self, it's a crime that's missing.

[@Hazzer77]

One thing I've always wondered, why can't you get multiple colours of Toad like you can with Yoshi, Birdo and Shy Guy? Toad is the character I play most so I would really like them to add that.

[@LegendaryCaptain]

Same with Koopa Troopa too

[@alphabluu]

10:23 Bowsers Castle 3 (SNES) actually got a really good 3D remake in tour recently and it was basically completely redesigned (with the original layout still intact). They added a bunch of inclines and ramps which look like they would fit perfectly in 8 with anti-grav, so i dont think youll be disappointed by what we get Also, fun fact about the missing waluigi pinball sound effect. Its actually in the course preview of the track, so they did go out of their way to remake the sound, but either they completely forgot and nobody has noticed it yet, or they just dont wanna add it to the course itself

[@lunanote-cassettemeower]

Maybe there’s a glitch that’s preventing the jungle from playing, maybe there’s a toggle in the code for if it plays or not and it’s been disabled by mistake and a developer just needs to reenable it, possibly.

[@FirstLastname604]

My biggest gripe with the sunset wilds situation is that if they couldn’t figure out how to incorporate the sunset, then why bother adding the track? Especially with tour releasing much better super circuit remakes like yoshi desert and lakeside park?

[@Polmo1997]

Actually playing I think I prefer sunset wild. I modded MK8DX to play those two tracks but Yoshi Desert you feel to much that you drive in a square and lakeside has pretty much no shortcut

[@bombingame6587]

@@Polmo1997which version of lakeside you played

[@megarayquaza2240]

It's an easy thing to fix, just tie it to the music. When the 3rd lap music comes on, turn it to night. Does that mean that in split screen it'll be night on lap 2 for some players? Yeah, but who cares, they're not winners.

[@yasuo9769]

​@@bombingame6587 Wdym? There is no other version of Lakeside. And if you're talking about Riverside Park, I guess you could consider those as different versions. The reason why I don't is b/c their themes are different. Take that for what you will, though.

[@SuperToad128]

was about to comment the same thing, just replying here so he notices it. makes the glider ramp faster tho and it’s a bit tricky at times so i like this change

[@GreenStarGalaxian]

I've mentioned it before, but Sunset Wilds doesn't have the sunset because 8DX uses baked lighting, which sticks the skybox and lighting in place. Tour also uses this, but there it just moved the skybox down. I'm guessing why 8DX doesn't do this is because they thought that the more detailed background compared to the flatter one in Tour would make the skybox shifting look weird...? But, yeah, it still sucks that Sunset Wilds doesn't have the first part of it's name in the track, and I'm hoping Nintendo can find a work-around to this.

[@GreenStarGalaxian]

[@opalicfractalia]

Thank you. This is in fact the reason why the sunset will almost surely not be fixed, I feel it's pretty useless to ask for a change in the first place. I'm not mad at Nintendo for not changing the skybox, I'm mad at Nintendo for having brought back this track in the first place when we had much better alternatives from Super Circuit (Bowser Castle 4 was remade incredibly well in Tour, and we need new Bowser tracks)

[@Walooigi]

[@ohhi687itsme8]

It's not sunset wilds anymore, the track's name for me is wilds

[@legonrex058]

13:36 Since Koopa Cape still has the pipe sound effect for when you enter the underwater section but VERY lowered (probably so it’s not too obnoxious while playing multiplayer), there’s still a chance it will come back in wave 6. They also have it on the course intro so they don’t have to create a new sound for it :D

[@Novum228]

Koopa Cape was my favorite track in all of Mario Kart, and it shocked me when the underwater pipe lost its zappers

[@hyrekandragon2665]

It was like that MK7 when they turned the tube section into an underwater.

[@splashofazure]

heh, shocked

[@v4n1ty92]

I'm more upset at how much they nerfed moonview highway. The original version was one of the hardest courses in the series, but this new one? The "obstacles" are so easy to avoid they might as well have left the road empty and called it moonview circuit, because it most definitely is not a highway anymore 💀

[@TheYoshistar0823]

In Wave 4 They Actually Added a Shortcut to Berlin Byways! So there’s a chance the Coconut Mall Glider one might be added as well! Sunset Wilds is a MUST Fix though

[@harrybest2041]

I don't think Nintendo changed the out of bounds zones in Berlin Byways specifically for the shortcut. It's probably because of how little space you had when jumping off a Whomp originally. You could go flying and get picked up by Lakitu just because it wasn't right above the road. Apparently Mario Kart Tour didn't do it, but I can imagine the engine not allowing the lighting to change during a race could decrease the chances of a sunset-night transition being added to Sunset Wilds. Imagine the skybox changing to night and all the objects still have the sunset lighting. Hopefully it doesn't look bad. If it is added, the Swoops better appear near the end like in Mario Kart Tour when it changes to night (not in Time Trials, of course).

[@shardcollectorfilms6575]

If we can get a randomize Items button, we should get a randomize button for characters and tracks (maybe kart parts, but IDK).

[@unsatiralgamer2292]

They’re most likely gonna release SNES Bowser’s Castle 3 which got a complete makeover in Tour

[@jorgev2834]

I am currently studying game design and I constantly go back to your videos because of your dedication, research, and input. I just wanted to congratulate you for your excellent job with your videos and for giving me some inspiration. Thanks!

[@CharginChuck]

The change in Sunset Wilds is unfortunate, but it makes sense given the platform. As I understand it, the sky changes based on your lap and location on the track. In Super Circuit and Tour, every player is looking at their own screen, so the sky can have the appropriate appearance for each person no matter where they are. But since 8 Deluxe has local multiplayer, you can have multiple players on the same screen, so there's no real way to make the mechanic work properly. It's a shame, but it's understandable.

[@CyaninAnimator]

What about those tracks that change based on the lap like Paris Promenade and Kalimari Desert?

[@CharginChuck]

@@CyaninAnimator Those are just changing the direction specific racers are able to go. That's fairly easy, just make sure each player is guided in the direction they're supposed to be going. But changing the sky for whoever is in the lead would throw the whole thing out of sync for everyone else.

[@autismandgaming4532]

Another thing about Sky Garden and Sunset Wilds is that they have simplified layouts compared to their GAMEBOY ADVANCE originals, even when other super circuit tracks don’t have that

[@spacesoccercowboy6091]

Oh my God yes! I still think Mario Kart DS has the best Sky Garden rendition thanks to the oversimplified layout that also removed various parts removed in Tour/8 Deluxe's rendition (especially the shortcuts being removed)

[@OriginalGameteer]

Tour's version of Sky Garden is a borderline different track with how radically different the layout is

[@PhenomenalJec]

It made sense to simplify the layouts for the mobile game but NOT for the big budget console game

I could be wrong, but I'm absolutely willing to bet that after wave six, there's gonna be one, super-final cup added. Think about it - Unless Wave Six makes the PERFECT of perfect course choices (which it probably won't), there's gonna be atleast one fan favorite track not included. Plus, with wave six, we'll be at 96 total courses - A sizeable number, but a bit of a weird one to cap something on. I'd reckon that one final bonus cup would not only add in those last couple of fan favorites (Or really doll up some completely left field picks), but would ALSO round up the total track number to a nice, clean, and even 100!

[@jannabo.]

I doubt it, not every track can be in the game and also they probably want fan favourites left over to use in MK9

[@Funky_Mode]

Don't give up hope that Airship Fortress will come to the Booster Course Pass. According to the leak, we are getting 2 GCN tracks for the last wave. The 3 GCN tracks that are in Tour but not 8 Deluxe are DK Mountain, Dino Dino Jungle, and Mushroom Bridge. Since DK Mountain and Dino Dino Jungle share similar themes, I think we are only getting one of them. Mushroom Bridge is too easy for Wave 6 and considering we got Moonview Highway last wave, I don't think it's coming back. With only 1 GCN track most likely coming back, I think they'd be likely to bring back a different retro track. Airship Fortress seems to be the most likely retro track for this slot considering it's a fan favorite track that appeared in Tour.

[@daybroken2281]

Mushroom Bridge isn’t too easy for wave 6. It has more Special Cars than Moonview (Wiggler Bus and Mushroom Cars, both added back in tour), and it’s pretty narrow (not as narrow as the cliffside in Moonview, but way narrower than the city.) In all honesty, it could be harder than Moonview should it come, considering the nerf it got in 8 with fewer and slower cars (Man does the city feel empty.) Layout alone doesn’t make it easy, and it would be the perfect track for the second of the acorn cup. As for the “Too Similiar to Moonview”, may I remind you that DK Summit came after TWO Mountain tracks, one of them being snowy. They could have moved it to wave 5, but nope. I think Nintendo only cares about not clashing with the wave they are doing, hence why 3 barely passes with the mountains being different. You are right though. Airship is the best and most likely replacement, assuming they do so.

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

Would love Airship Fortress back but the copium is real with this one 💀 Mushroom Bridge and DK Mountain are for sure 100% coming in Wave 6 even if they have “similarities” to Moonview Highway and DK Summit.

[@daybroken2281]

@@rebirthphoenix5646 Well you never know. I’m not saying Mushroom Bridge is guaranteed but the problems people have with it don’t really exist (aside from not liking it). Plus it’s possible that it could be Dino Dino instead of DK Mountain. 50/50 at this point.

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

@@daybroken2281 Yeah technically nothing is confirmed because none of the 8 Wave 6 tracks are in any of 8 Deluxe’s datamines. It’s just from extensively looking at leaks, datamines, comparisons, etc. you can basically guess the probability of the tracks coming in and in the end I basically concluded that Mushroom Bridge is a near lock (again no 8 Deluxe datamine confirms it), and DK Mountain probably has like a 90%+ chance of happening over Dino Dino Jungle.

[@nintendoguy0342]

I don’t think Nintendo cares about difficulty in the BCP. I feel MB is still coming since there are 2 GCN tracks coming to Wave 6 and we’re supposed to have 4 GCN tracks in the BCP. I feel Double Dash needs move love for the tracks.

[@astromotive6047]

*Correction:* The jingle you used to hear in Waluigi Pinball when passing under the slots actually WASN'T removed. Instead you now hear it twice during the course intro.

7:06 or u can color code it like lap 1 is red, lap 2 is blue and lap 3 is yellow and if laps share the same track area they can just mix the colors like if lap 2 and 3 have a area that meet, they can make that area green for example

You can literally get shocked underwater from the lightning item… not to mention the fireballs, or the underwater lava of BC from MK7 - I feel like the original reason it was changed was because maybe they thought the cheep cheeps were good enough enemies to replace the lightning but now there’s nothing there

[@MainAgate5]

Still pressed that in Vancouver Velocity: the Suspension Bridge section is in Lap 1 instead of Lap 3, it makes Laps 2 & 3 a bit anticlimactic 😇

[@barbaricbacon9139]

Some opinions on these nitpicks: I get that they made coconut mall’s escalators a lot easier to tell apart… but I don’t get how people ever got confused with them back in wii, like even during my first plays of the track, I was easily able to tell which was the right one (especially due to the pianta pointing to the correct side in wii). Also, the escalators being smooth make them much more fun to drive on. However, I do agree that the glider corner is a little bit strict, even if the red and white bar is a good indicator on where you can go. For sky high sundae, I may be the only person who enjoys the track and the camera thing doesn’t seem to be a problem for me. You can land safely if you carry on going straight and even if you do mess up the angle, the low gravity lets you easily re-adjust. For the items, PLEASE NINTENDO DO NOT BRING BACK THE FIB. Having both coins and fibs acting as non-protection items for 1st place would be way too frustrating for frontrunning and would make bagging an even better strategy, which a lot of people (including me) wouldn’t enjoy. I personally would like to see the heart and bowser shell from double dash. Finally, fuck Mario circuit DS. It’s my pick for the worst BCP track. At least toad circuit is ok as a starter track (which makes sense to have for wave 1) and snes Mario circuit 3 is a decent choice relative to other snes tracks. Not only is DS Mario circuit a basically definitively worse Mario circuit added in 8, but it stole slots from the mentioned airship fortress, Delfino square (my personal favourite track in the entire series) and Luigi’s mansion. This is the Byleth of the BCP

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

Hard agree. I think this new version of DS Mario Circuit is way better than the original but Airship Fortress definitely deserved that last slot more imo. Other than they condensed everything to not make it super long like the original, they really didn’t do much to justify its return aside from “it was never remade before” which imo is kind of a lousy excuse if it isn’t bringing anything new to the table.

[@endstoneninja3845]

[@FieryGhast]

I know people say that Wii Rainbow Road will be in the final wave because of the rumors and leaks about the track, but honestly I would like to see GCN Rainbow Road to be in the final wave. For me, due to to the fact we have a lot of Wii tracks in the BCP but getting little of GCN tracks since wave 4, I wouldn't be surprised to have another GCN track. I'm hoping that one GCN track is Rainbow Road, mainly because of how nostalgic the track is and the way it is designed. Maybe I like GCN rainbow road a bit too much, but I'm hoping this does happen in the final wave.

[@knuckleheadwestwind3585]

Where I think the booster pass can often underwhelm is the fact that every track in it has to be playable on mobile. This means we get less detail and less ambition. Development with this model will never produce a shy guy falls, an electrodrome, mount wario, cloudtop cruise, big glue, ribbon road etc. because those course themes on top of being ambitious, wouldn’t fit well in Mario Kart Tour. I wish we just got Mario Kart 9 instead, so that we could get new and unique courses, not SNES Mario Circuit 3, garbage tier sky garden, gross graphics toad circuit, and Sunset Wilds with no Sunset

[@Gigabowser20]

I agree with most these! I would argue sunset wilds is more than a nitpick though, it kinda takes away the only appeal of the track with how overly simple they made it. I think for the battle courses we could get them in wave 6, as there are only a few in tour and everything in the bcp is from tour. Also, I like skyhigh sundae....

[@camchandler131]

[@nathaniel5016]

You know why they're called Wisdom teeth? Because when you get them taken out, you go, "Ow, that Smarts!"

[@MatthewGhirardi]

One of the features that should’ve been added was characters having their own special items like in Double Dash

[@the1-upclub98]

If I saw correctly, the Wave 4 Direct trailer looked like it had Birdo holding an egg on the gliding section, so I don't know what happened there.

[@Trevmoose05]

@@the1-upclub98I think it was a boo

[@playcube4564]

it sounds nice but there is already a bit of a problem with people using the same character + kart combo, adding in special items just widens the gap between 'viable' combos

[@shadeblackwolf1508]

I would love to see themed cups. It'd be a cheap way to extend the game. They don't need extra tracks. Just a winter wonderland cup, a dk cup, a rainbow road cup, summer cup. Especially with them showing off the tracks that would be in a summer pack with a recent promotional video

[@amwitty_]

i thought my internet went out and then you hit me with mf cool Bowser and i geeked out

[@ltAMeMario]

Even though I and many others have a lot of nitpicks: Graphics, No Sunset Wilds, City Tracks Blending In etc Me personally I still prefer the dlc tracks over the base game, my reasoning is because there’s more fan favorites imo there’s a lot of mid tracks in the base game and there’s more fan favorites in the dlc, ik the graphics aren’t as good as the base game but I think gameplay of the tracks is more important than graphics. I still think graphics matter but I’d rather have good tracks but bad graphics than bad tracks but great graphics.

[@julianfosberry9559]

i prefer the music swaps like in SSBU recently like you cqn play the tour city tracks withe the tour orignal songs and dont forget put the sunset in sunset wilds and the tou4 city costumes

2:27 The Pianta will actually always point to the escalator.

[@BortLoco]

No way, I played Mario Kart Wii for years and never noticed that

[@biondigiacomo7176]

@@BortLoco It actually does. I discovered It like a month ago and i played Mario Kart Wii since birth

[@DE23]

I feel like the thing with the escalators was justified in 7 since the 3DS's screen was half the resolution of the Wii and they removed the pianta that waved at the correct escalator, but in 8DX it's a bit overkill.

[@amybenns6619]

Yeah, in the original you had to actually look and trying to tell which is which nowadays it’s just, “Hey stupid, look at where the arrows are pointing!”

[@VerrouSuo]

only nitpick i could add is a coconut mall one: why is the turn after the second set of escalators and the turn after the second fountain section so narrow? in the wii version, they both had this forgiving, metallic half-pipe design, which let you take the turn a little easier now they feel so CRAMPED and its SO easy to accelerate a bit too much and bonk into a wall that doesnt even feel like it should be there

[@bigbodyofwater]

massive agreement with vs race only being able to do up to a 48 race gp, biggest nitpick!!

[@robymammon610]

The City tracks are hit or miss. They’re either amazing like Singapore Speedway, Vancouver Velocity and Athens Dash (the latter is a top 5 track), or they’re duds like Tokyo Blur, New York Minute and Amsterdam Drift.

[@WritingCountingOriginal]

How is Amsterdam bad? It’s got lots of unique sections. You must HATE Daisy hills then.

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

You take Amsterdam Drift out of that worst city tracks and replace it with like Paris Promenade lol

[@zspro123]

La laps is far worse than amsterdam lmao

[@EmperorPenguin1217]

What’s wrong with New York Minute?

[@RyanNerdyGamer]

5:10 I would’ve preferred if Waluigi Pinball just straight up had its original music. If Mushroom Gorge can do it, this one can! (Then again, it _does_ fit the running theme of “Waluigi got done dirty,” so…? 🤷🏻‍♂️)

[@weepingdalek2568]

On the subject of Bowser's Castles, Mario Circuits and Rainbow Roads there's also the idea that Wii Rainbow Road will be coming over

[@blademontane]

My biggest issues with MK8 is it's just too easy. The obstacles are too slow. The only other Mario Kart game I've played that I played for a long time is MKWii, and I loved the fact that the enemies would sprint at you when you got near them. Now they kind of waddle slowly in your general direction, if at all. Same issue with the cars in Coconut mall. I'm glad they made them move as that was a big gripe for me, but they don't do nearly as much as MKWii.

[@Talion-jv1zp]

We really need an option for 96 Races in versus mode!

[@hyperfairy7779]

03:16 know what I would of put here? A high speed ski jump and glider section with no obstacles on the ground like a ski slope and having to glide alongside and around a sleigh or some flying reindeer

[@Yotonin]

odyssey central more like odyssey nitpicks👊😂

[@squidkid419]

There are actually 2 other scenarios where the music is shared between courses. So it’s wario stadium and waluigi pinball, then there’s sweet sweet canyon and sweet sweet kingdom, and dragon drift way and dragon palace. Yes, they make more sense since they are battle tracks compared to race tracks, but just thought I’d mention it

[@PikaPhantom_]

The battle tracks are slight remixes, not the same songs

[@squidkid419]

@@PikaPhantom_ same melody though, but yes, it is at least slight remixes for them.

[@Starielproano]

Please Nintendo, do not add another circuit track for 6 wave. Because in MK8D already has a bit too much circuit tracks. 😖😤 • Mario Circuit • Hyrule Circuit • GBA - Mario Circuit (the only Track to change with Anit gravity) • GCN - Yoshi Circuit (good) • 3DS - Toad Circuit • SNES - Mario Circuit 3 (Bad) • DS - Mario Circuit (unnecessary)

[@NickMario1]

But I like circuit tracks:(

[@Thesnackcopl]

i dislike most of them lmao

[@TobyTarpey]

So…

[@Accordion_Guy]

Mr. Odyssey Central person please I need you to see this! I know you used to make content about Super Mario Maker 2 and a video about story mode exclusive features, but I found something that I've never seen anyone talk about before. In the level Fire Koopa Clown Carnage, there is a strange feature near the start of the level. When you first enter the cave, there is a slope, but there is a ground feature going through the slope. I tried many times but I couldn't recreate it in the editor, so I think it's impossible to do.

[@De_an]

One nitpick I had ever since I saw the track is the color of Sunset Wilds' sky. Instead of being magenta at the top, orange in the middle, and yellow at the bottom like the original, it is now entirely a vibrant shade of yellow that doesn't look natural in the slightest. And it's not even like it goes with the rest of the track; the bright yellow sky doesn't work with the orange-brown canyons, red-orange sand, or orange-brown road. The only thing that works with it is the purple haze on faraway objects since yellow and purple are complimentary colors. But do you know what sky color would've worked with all of the previously-mentioned course elements? Orange. Orange would've fit perfectly with the orange-brown canyons, red-orange sand, and orange-brown road. It even works with the green cacti in the track, again due to complementary colors. The purple haze might not follow the same orange color palette, but I'd rather something as minimal as haze be the one that doesn't fit the color scheme as opposed to the entire sky.
