The Booster Course pass adding what it did, essentially made it it's own Mario Kart Game... almost, something like a Mario Kart 8.5 considering the amount of courses, additions of new characters and a new mode and way to play. And one thing I really loved about it was, not only was only 25 bucks, but on top of that, only ONE person actually had to own the DLC for everyone in the lobby to be able to play the New Tracks. What a great step for Nintendo. The second I heard that, I bought the Pass just to support such a player friendly idea.

Now, I’d be lying if I said the Booster Course Pass looks better, and it had some issues graphically, but I like the look of it better than the base game. As time goes on, I find myself liking some of the tracks less for being a bit muted in the colors, kinda desaturated… just not Mario enough. I expect a bright, colorful world of mushroom guys, turtle dudes, and a cartoony Italian man wahoo-ing around. The colors here are a lot brighter and feel more Mario. That said, the base game still has some great looking visuals, so they’re pretty even, in my opinion. For every Toad Circuit in the DLC, there’s a SNES Donut Plains 3. And for every 3DS Rainbow Road, there’s an N64 Rainbow Road. And for the tracks, I think they all play well enough and are fun enough. Sure, you have some basic tracks, but I mean, a lot of the real basic tracks were at the start of the DLC… where they, you know, make sense to ease players in to them, same as the Nitro and Retro tracks that headline the base game for any Mario Kart. Also, we got more DKC love, and I’m never gonna be upset with that.

@@mailpaper7754 I do think I enjoy both visual styles for different reasons. The base game’s tracks, when they pop, they POP. There are some incredibly beautiful tracks. But I also think the BCP looks overall solid and has some tracks that can match and even exceed the base game, like Waluigi Pinball and Waluigi Stadium. I think the BCP looks more Mario and I do like it better to an extent, but I think both visual styles have their merits.

[@Notyouraveragegal69]

I agree a lot with this, imo the best way to go forward is to take the detailed base game but have it be more saturated and vibrant, For an example kind of like how DK Mountain is a lot more darker and vibrant green than DK Jungle is, so just use the visual detail of DK Jungle but use DK Mountain's colours and you have a perfect artstyle that's both Mario and detailed... or take how Waluigi Stadium looks, It's VERY detailed AND colourful, I VASTLY prefer how it looks to Wario Stadium just because of the colours, both are still high detail, Waluigi Stadium just looks better because of the more vibrant colours

I absolutely love your positivity and optimism for games. Your channel is so underrated. I had a great time with the BCP and its a bittersweet feeling that its over.

[@JonathonV]

Just to answer your comment about the city tracks from Tour feeling directionless, that’s because they weren’t intended to be all together. In Tour, the city tracks are split into different courses, with each one having several reverse and trick variants. So instead of there being only one Paris Promenade course, for example, there’s Paris Promenade, Paris Promenade 2, Paris Promenade 2R, Paris Promenade 2T, Paris Promenade 2R/T, etc. In the Booster Course Pass, those all are condensed into a single course, which of course takes out a bunch of the subtlety and variety. (Some courses, like Tokyo Blur and New York Minute, actually got 4 tracks.) Another reason MK8 players may have been disappointed in the Tour track layouts is due to the differences in how the games play. MarioKart Tour is based on a point system, and the curves (which let you drift for a mini-turbo), coins, and jumps let you get point combos. None of that matters in MK8, where the only goal is to get first place, so the design principles behind the creation of the track are quite different. I think of the Booster Course Pass as the love letter to MarioKart Tour. Tour started off with random loot boxes, too much track recycling, and no battle mode, which turned so many people off of the game. Eventually all those problems got solved, but not before it got a lot of negative press. Some people also didn’t like the controls, which can be customised to a certain extent, but they definitely take getting used to and aren’t the same. Those people didn’t stick around to see Tour get almost triple the number of courses that MK8 got (even with the BCP), and many more fan-favourite drivers. It was nice that the Booster Course Pass preserved all the Tour original tracks (except Piranha Plant Pipeline 😢) so that we could continue playing our favourite tracks if Tour were ever taken offline. The redone Staff Roll credits sequence at the end of the BCP was such a brilliant mashup of the music (I confess I was in tears the first time I heard it), because so much of Tour was encapsulated in that soundtrack! So, as a longtime Tour fan, I would voice a stronger “yes” than you would about whether BCP is good. Tour is now in “loop mode”, repeating what was easily the best year in its five-year run, but still repeating. The BCP gives me hope that Nintendo will return to its products and give us fresh new content to the games we love.

[@Notyouraveragegal69]

while this is somewhat true, the later city tracks were designed with the BCP in mind and are still just confusing just because, Rome Avanti iirc wasn't even in Tour's files until way after the BCP started (and was very clearly made for it) and that has almost the exact same problem (but with a bit more guidance), you can also see the fact that that they were designed for 8DX (later on) if you look at how well they play in it compared to Tour, I was genuienly put off by how bad Athens Dash played in Tour and that felt MUCH better in 8DX and whayda know that was also obviously made for the BCP (if you look at the Tour version, it looks REALLY rushed, and it makes sense, they probably had a different Athens Dash that was then redone to fit 8DX hence leading to the rushed state) sorry for the rambling, just thought it was interesting

i think the main problem with the booster course pass is two things 1. mario kart 8 is now way more retro courses than nitro courses 2. the next mario kart game is going to have to have so much content to try and top mario kart 8 deluxe, which only had 48 courses, the next mario kart wouldn't even have needed 48, the quality could be 100% perfect and these problems would still be there

[@Toblerome4]

is it a one time payment only? like it will be permanently yours? or was it like a membership for a yearly access?

[@Notyouraveragegal69]

You can buy it for 25$ once or you can get it for free with Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack for 50$ per year

[@SpectralDynamite]

Both, actually.

im not being rude but if you say toad circuit is basic,what abt baby park?Its an oval 💀

[@o_o-037]

Only thing That confuses me about this DLC is peachette. Why couldn't someone else be added? Say.... Pink Bob-omb, or Toadsworth?

[@PaperBanjo64]

I hated that they got rid of the setting sun and the Native American shy guys from the GBA original Sunset Wilds.

[@sahaprocks7751]

The Native American Shy Guys were only in the Japanese version of Super Circuit. Bringing that back would be offensive. Oh and they’re not even in Tour either, better to just reuse the same Shy Guys from that version

This is an incredibly petty complaint but I wish that there were a few more tracks that didn't have Toads and Yoshis around the sides of the circuit

Thank you for seeking out the positives! Too many people these days ONLY focus on the negative.

HOT TAKE: i spent 200hrs with the DLC and 400 with the base game and i prefer the DLC its cuz the graphics being worse at times dont bother me at speed while racing i barely notice but the the retros were all new as were tour cuz i hadnt played since 64/SC (which was so diff in the DLC) and DD 20+yrs ago -WHY you ask? - i like segment and city tracks and other tracks that have unique layouts for EACH LAP it literally adds 3x the replay value imo cuz u gotta learn the course, Obv some suck but so do some base tracks but even bad ones on the DLC often have atleast one good lap or wild part - and i found m3 fav tracks to be 3ds RR/Squeeeky clean/Singapore Sprint and overall i like the DLC more (even shroom ridge is basic but feels great despite being a repeat track cuz of the flow of the the course so that helps too) - i hope next game we get non city tracks but that are more natural in their implementation of 3 unique laps/segment tracks for every track (and a mode where u can 'shuffle' and as u cross the finish each lap it gives a slow fade into that lap from a random course (but same for every racer) - that'd be wild

I remember playing in grade 3 or 4 with my cousin, and now I have a switch planning to buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and enjoy the experience once more!

[@RAVAGE656]

The booster course pass is a mixed bag, and honestly structured weird. I could've forgiven the butchered tracks designs and half baked textures if it weren't for the exclusion of new kart parts which also haven't had anything new for years.

[@guyyt6021]

So he didn't mention that the "new courses" also came out in tour...

[@Ancient_4]

I just got MK8D for $50. How much extra is the booster pass?

[@Notyouraveragegal69]

25$ or free if you have Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack

[@pnut3844able]

Well most of us didn't have a Wii U, so the switch was the first chance we got to play mk8

[@joseluis.colungag]

I was hoping for Wario Stadium 64 to be released somewhere on the DLC, but nope...

[@JohnathanBrooks-q1g]

Sky high Sky high sundae was in tour before the bcp I think

[@TheCephalon]

My only complaint was too many boring tour city tracks and some of the textures aren’t as good as the base game. But besides that, I think it was great and a great addition
