It would’ve been great if the Mega Mushroom was in this game. The Feather could’ve been available for Grand Prix and VS Race.

[@rafaelblackman9879]

There are 3 major changes/additions I’d make to this game: 1. Red shell reticles. These would appear when someone is about to throw a red shell and would be visible to the player throwing the shell and the player getting targeted. 2. UI that shows what place everyone is in and what items everyone has like from Mario Kart Ds, 7, and the Wii U version of 8. I’d place it above the coin or lap counts and maybe give it some opacity so it doesn’t obscure anything. 3. A remap-able item swap button akin to Mario Kart Double Dash. This button would swap the items within the slots when pressed and could be repeated so long as the player has two items to swap. The UI mentioned above would reflect the swapping of items.

[@excaliburofgachagames9241]

I agree with three. Scratch the other two. But maybe the red shell icon could appear a little sooner so im not stuck holding LB the entire race. Not seeing what people have adds flair to the game. What I would add though is a delay to the lightning bolt.

[@StarBeam500]

Nah, on the last one, because in double dash, it made sense. Whoever was in the back was holding the item, so switching drivers would switch the items. And that was part of the gimmick with using items, in that you had to switch to use both spots. Here, I think the idea that you have to burn through your first item to use the second one really makes you think about if it's worth it or not.

[@rafaelblackman9879]

@@StarBeam500 but being forced to use your first item leads to a lot of annoying situations. Getting the item stolen, getting shocked and loosing both, getting a coin before a defensive item while a red shell, etc. The point of the last change lies in the principle of having two item slots in the first place. Sure, the act of switching items makes Double Dash unique but that’s not the games’ DEFINING unique trait. So putting it in 8DX wouldn’t take away from anything. Plus it’s not like any of the above mentioned situations become null and void with item switching. They just become easier to deal with. I happen to think item switching has its own strategies that are interesting in their own way.

Here are things you didn't mention that I would fix: 1. Traction should make you faster on off-road (and not only on slippery road) like the Off-Road stat in Mario Kart 7 (but it shouldn't be as broken). The code of the Traction stat in this game is actually copy-pasted from Mario Kart 7 so it should work like that, but Nintendo set the off-road related parameters (labelled as "DIRT") to the same value regardless of the Traction level. 2. GBA Sky Garden should have Anti-Gravity after the mushroom pad. 3. Golden Mushroom should also have a usage limit (maybe 10?) so you can get rid of it faster if you don't need it. It would basically work like the Fire Flower. 4. Toad should have 9 colours like Yoshi, Birdo and Shy Guy. 5. The secret glider path on Tour Madrid Drive should have an Item Box to make it at least somewhat useful when bagging. 6. Anti-Gravity Speed should not overwrite Water Speed when you're driving on underwater anti-gravity sections (like on GBA Boo Lake). Both stats should be used to determine you speed on those sections. 7. The physics of collision with walls is really dumb and should be fixed. Sometimes you bounce so much for no reason. 8. The Weight stat has a weird and inconsistent scaling. It needs to be fixed. 9. Inward Drift bikes should be able to do alignment hops, also their on-road slip should be set to 0 so they will be more similar to Wii.

[@Iliadic]

For 6: Divide Water Speed by Anti Gravity speed, and then divide Anti Grav Speed by Water Speed, then take the average of those two numbers and make that the speed stat when in water on anti-grav.

Neo bowser city has a way worse problem The big turn, you know it, you love it It should not have anti gravity Because when you bump into someone you get boosted If you get boosted at all you go flying off Meaning you have to actively avoid hitting people which is hard when youre focusing on taking the sharpest possible drift Also on 200cc the turn is just impossible Unless you have the perfect kart combo its impossible to take the turn on 200cc which really turns new played away from the track Because no one wants to be forced to either slow down or fall off the track

The reason why mushroom gorge’s mushrooms bounce you when you get hit is because its coded to automatically bounce you forwards at a certain speed when you bounce on it, and it would be hard to turn that individual code off and then have it work right after you get on it

[@civetmink9060]

[@RaiderPlays]

Fun fact: If you do land on top of the trolley in Toad’s Harbor, you get a massive super bounce that saves a ton of time. So there is actually that mechanic already, your timing just has to be right.

[@edwaffle6917]

A pretty well detailed video with some valid points. I have a few opinions however, namely your points on Choco Mountain Mushroom Gorge, Amsterdam Drift, Daisy Circuit, Cheep Cheep Beach, and N64 Rainbow Road. On Choco Mountain, making the Bridge trickable would present an issue. When you are in a glider state and trick off a surface your trajectory is temporarily locked as the trick is played, considering how close the wall is on the proceeding turn and how quickly that turn appears, many players would likely trick and hit the wall. For Mushroom Gorge, the bouncing on mushrooms after getting hit is a good mechanic. If you were to stop bouncing all together after getting hit, it would make getting from the second to last mushroom to the last one on the right path impossible. There are potentially more similar situations that could occur in that section. Regarding your comment on Amsterdam Drift, tricking off of the geysers is actually faster, IF you do a low enough trick, adding some skill expression to the course. The glider section on Daisy Circuit is designed so that you land just before the tunnel or as you refer to as the magnetic force pulling you down. It's designed so that you don't overshoot and end up hitting the top of the tunnel or landing so close that it makes the turns withing the tunnel too challenging. A quick thought on Cheep Cheep Beach. With good driving technique the water sections can be faster due to having a better racing line. You have to optimise your drifting to offset the deficit of the lack of trickable surfaces. But yes, more crabs on land would be great. For N64 Rainbow Road, the problem is that the course is inherently boring, lacking variety. If you were to run the course three times longer, not only would it be ridiculously long and uninteresting, but the lack of shortcuts or offroad sections mean that it's already hard enough for backmarkers to catch up. This would only be emphasised threefold. And one last note is that you can do the end shortcut for Sky Garden shroomless. Obviously this doesn't fix everything but what it does mean is that often you can carry more defensive items with you and it does give counter play to being targeted at the glider section. Either way, some really cool and creative ideas for a lot of the courses with a lot of your opinions being shared by me. Something worth mentioning is that some of these views can change whether you are looking through the perspective of a casual player or a more experienced player.

You need to fix your madrid drive statement You took the shortcut on lap 1 Its only supposed to be taken on lap 2 I guess it does still blend in and its weird that you arent meant to take it on lap 1, but anyways The shortcut is the same exact speed as the normal parh even if you dont hit anything on lap 1, but on lap 2 its much easier to take I actually like it because youll spot it in lap 1 and be unable to take it but when you pass through the market in reverse in lap 2 youll remember the dhortcut and take it But you did the shortcut backwards which is why it didnt work

Another thing I would change is the standard kart’s design like it’s still going to have the same design only difference is that the headlights are on the bottom front of the kart because whenever you’re in a that takes time in the night or with dark tunnels,the headlights will appear which makes the standard kart look weird like if you look at Mario’s kart from the Mario Movie,then you’ll understand what I mean about the headlights of the kart Mario has in the movie because I like where headlights are on his standard kart that appears in the movie.

The texture of the road should match the road physics so that you can see visually that it's going to be slippery. DS Mario Circuit is just a great track, why would you replace it, and not replace a different track? I think I would like to see the Wiggler standing next to the track on laps 1 and 2!

Well I wasn’t to fun of n64 rainbow road being 10min long and no one wants to spend 10 mins racing on a long track the fan were complaining about so they made it one lap divided into sections and to me it felt to short at it could at least been a 2lap track in 8

[@lauressia1.583]

about toad harbor, you actually can bounce and even trick off the trolleys which sends you absolutely flying, but it is very hard to do, especially in an actual race where you’re probably never on the right cycle to actually hit them

[@themcmuffinator]

The trolleys on Toad Harbor actually bounce you if you fully land on it if you have the right timing, leading to some really cool time saves

[@matthewvandyk7773]

The change i want the most is better team mode. Allow up to 4 teams and actually allow us to chose which cpu characters go one which team. It be so cool to run say a full bowser team versus a mario or princess team or what ever other wacky team idea you had. Ive wanted this chance since mario kart wii and I've wanted the custom cup idea you brought up since I was a kid playing 64.

[@TheOffside0423]

2:50 there was actually a yellow pianta pointing to the right direction. I still think you're right since it was so much better

[@INTScar]

25:52 landing ontop of the trolly gives you a massive boost forward used in the world record 2 times

[@aefenry3065]

The only correct answer for what to change for Sky Garden is everything. Match the damn layout of the original cause Tour’s version is unrecognizable lol

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

14:24 In Bangkok Rush's defense, it was created in a game where 200cc feels like 8's 100cc, so...

[@theorenfrench5240]

For myself, the biggest change I would make would be for the city tracks that go across the line the same direction all three times. Tokyo, Vancouver, New York, Prihana Plant Cove etc. Should have the laps random for every race. Sadly it wouldn’t work on tracks that have different starting lines like La Laps, or different direction laps like Athens Dash. I think it would make Tokyo Blur far more interesting.

[@itallj]

25:59 not trying to hate at all but you can actually land on them and trick off of them, they bounce as well, it's a trick for going fast, you have to drive the lap up until there really well though

[@B0ssguy]

excitebike arena has over 200 different variants it could generate not 4. and it still sucks

[@A_Guy_64]

For 41, I would make it so the mole has a 50 percent chance to spawn facing towards the player (When this happens, running into him will damage you). I would also make it so that he has a 50 percent chance to spawn facing away from the player (when this happens, he can be used as a trick-able ramp)

[@ivverivve0049]

14:48 But at least they didn't bring back that completely dull Figure-8 Circuit (the first track of the DS Mushroom Cup)

[@PrincessDella]

My change to Piranha Plant Slide would be bringing back the blue Goombas from the original Mario Kart 7 version. In that version, the Goombas were blue just like in the original Super Mario Bros. underground levels, furthering the retro aesthetic of the track. I’ve always been disappointed that 8 made them brown again…

[@anthonymock9717]

Great video. I enjoy the chaos of the baby park and absolutely dislike ice ice outpost, though the snow idea is interesting!

[@03luigi14]

I think toad circuit looks bad because everything looks like it's made of plastic

[@toadynamite8141]

That's all the booster courses 😂

[@munaclassic4020]

Bring back chain wheelie boost mechanic from Wii for inward drifting bikes. You can make it a percentage boost of max speed or slightly slower than a mini turbo and determine length of original wheelie based on mini turbo duration.

[@TDRyan]

We're in for a loong video and im here for it

[@mk8-mkwil117]

The one thing I miss is the 3ds piranha plant slide underwater music that the original had that was missing in 8 and kinda made me feel like I was drowning since the music is filter out by the water sounding muffled

[@2shy2guy52]

I’m so excited for far into the future of switch modding when we get ctgp deluxe or whatever it’ll be called and it fixes a bunch of these issues

[@HWLetsRace]

In 6 days

[@2shy2guy52]

@@HWLetsRace oh wow I didn’t know that was actually a thing already

[@mothwingthemedicinecat]

Good video, surpised you could think of a change for every track in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, even small ones.

[@TheIceCreamWizard]

9:30 Diddy got _rocked._

[@Aktedya1-jt7vw]

I wish CPU Kart combinations were just completed random like Mario Kart 7. In 8, theres presets and it becomes very noticable if you play the game as much as me

[@ceilebear]

9:00 IMO I think London Loop is really fun but that’s probably just me

[@AliciaLamie]

The yoshi valley gap jump should be brought back.

[@Pika2cool4u]

You can trick off the top of the trolley cars in toad harbor

[@brickbot2.038]

I would love if you could do custom lap counts as well. Obviously, it wouldn't work with the tracks that have a defined start and end with no loop, but for every other track, it would be cool as heck. Also more battle tracks. 96 race tracks, but only _8_ for battles? Ridiculous.

[@grw5323]

I would make peach gardens item boxes follow chain chomps like in mkwii

[@privatepumpkin7095]

39:47 If they had this, they should make you go to -1 coins if you have 0. This shouldn't change your speed, just make it harder to get to 10

[@charliechute4722]

The majority of the booster course pack is just mario kart tour tracks so that is why you are getting the big red ramps also it is a mobile game so it cant be that complicated and they have to make like 100 thacks every 2 weeks

[@r.c.c.10]

The DLC has a lot of minor things to improve, as you say. Too often things such as turns or jumpuble platforms are not clear.

[@mipmop6969]

21:40 you’re not actually supposed to take that shortcut lap 1, it’s not even faster to do so. Only take it on lap 2, it works pretty well on that lap, I enjoy taking the shortcut

[@Sir-Cluckins-II]

The reason London Loop is so boring is because London IRL is boring

[@ultimate_poyo]

THE BOOST PANEL PATH IN SHERBERT LAND ISNT A SHORTCUT? MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE😭

[@Homeless_man_across_the_road]

I think that any grand Prix with a rainbow road that the rainbow road should be at the end as a final boss of tracks I guess

[@manfredi19]

21:03 Yes they did, it's called a glider path and it simply pushes your kart into that intended line like a magnet. Also nice video

[@jamiereeve3136]

Think a change I’d make is hard cpu should actually be hard. I like to play solo and when I put the cpu to hard I still end up stomping them. It would be nice if the cpu really took shortcuts or used items better so that it actually felt like a challenge to get 1st I shouldn’t have to pay for online just to play against better competitors. Also side change id make is being able to pick what characters you race against. More just customisation. But main change would be harder cpu

[@PieJee1]

Funny you find the alternate routes on the city tracks last lap as i found it just confusing and pointless. They also messed up peach gardens
