So this is interesting, its not a 4/4 split with the stages. only 3 Retros (And SNES Rainbow Road casually smacked in the middle of a cup.)



These are the Mii Costumes. Some are good (Cpt. Falcon though he looks like he put on some weight) And others... not so.

Mute City track in Mario Kart will be all kinds of awesome.

I was surprised to see SNES Rainbow Road in there again since 7 just did it, but I guess a classic is a classic.  Still, I REALLY wish somebody would come to their senses and do N64 Wario Stadium.  But I guess since we already got Royal Raceway I can't complain too much.

I'm hoping we see that in DLC pack 2.

Link's really quite the happy guy when driving despite coming from a world that doesn't have automotives.

Anyway, used this to get Star Cup done finally. Looks like DLC characters don't unlock stamps.

And then I played Special Cup and that stupid desert volcano stage made me not want to play anymore. This was fun, can't wait till I pick this up again in a month or two and work through that.

Indeed it is. 8)  Also loving the Exitebike track, those are easily my two favorites.

Was very surprised that Link and B-Dasher are the only "cloned" stat sets in the DLC, after the Mercedes shpiel I'd figured everything besides the courses would be cosmetic.  I've more or less starting maining the Blue Falcon kart.  Besides having functional jets, which is awesome, it is essentially the Pipe Frame kart with a top speed buff.  Very much needed for one of Daisy's weight class.

Nothing but work lately. I did just buy a Majora's Mask New 3DS though, so that's good.

How about you?

Hilariously enough 200cc fixes my main gripe with MK8's version of Piranha Plant Slide which is being unable to fly over the top of the castle gate thing like in MK7 haha

OH [parasitic bomb] IM USING LINK AND I ACCIDENTALLY FINAL SMASHED A CUCCO OH GOD HELP
Just enjoy yourself, don't complain about everything

So the DLC tracks are as follows:

New Courses:
Animal Crossing stage
Big Blue (Another F-Zero stage? Guess they're trying to make up for the absence of an actual F-Zero game.)
Rinrin Metro
Nature Road

Retro Courses:
GBA Cheese Land
GBA Ribbon Road
GC Baby Park (why)
3DS Neo Bowser City

Animal Crossing Villager has a female version available as well.

I have MUCH bigger problems with the fact that half the retro courses are GBA.  Well, MK8's been going pretty far with their remakes, so it might still be interesting.

This is more than enough to make me wish MK8 allowed you to create a "custom" cup in the same manner as 7.

Yeah, but weren't those two GBA courses two that the majority of people wanted? I'm not sure as I never really played that version.

Been playing the new update.  I'd been away from MK8 for a while, so I kind of forgot how much this game makes you fear Green Shells and hate coins in item boxes.  Anyways, my take on the new stuff:

-First, I take back the GBA complaint, Ribbon Road is incredible.  They did a LOT with that one to spruce it up.  Cheese Land got some re-envisioning as well, but I found the end result more "meh" in that one.
-Baby Park is all Anti-Grav, making it even more crazy.
-The Super Bell Cup STARTS with Neo Bowser City.  Odd choice, since I always found that course cool but tricky.  Both the new cups start with two Retros and end with two originals.
-Big Blue is awesome, more challenging and varied than Mute City.  Partly because, surprisingly, it's one of those long one-way courses.
-200cc, holy crap.  This mode should come with an "EMERGENCY STOP: NEVER USE" button.  Seriously, though, if they intend for you to use the Brake button on this mode, shouldn't there, I don't know, BE A BRAKE BUTTON ON THE WII REMOTE?!!  The only way to brake with a remote is to release the accelerator and hit one of your two Jump buttons (1 or B).  Somebody didn't think that through.  It's nice that there is an actual point to lightweights now, though, since Handling is much more important.  Also, for those wondering, clearing 200cc doesn't "count" to the lower classes the way 100/150 do.
-After Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach, you might have expected Dry Bowser to have some kind of buff.  He doesn't.  Probably for the best, since heavyweights are overpowered in any mode that isn't Ludicrous Speed/200cc.
-None of the new kart parts have any unique stats, but many of them do look cool, especially the P-Wing, which actually "spreads" during anti-grav segments (it's a top speed kart, like the Mach 8).  The Streetle kart is a copy of Blue Falcon, City Tripper's in the same family as the Standard Bike, and the Bone Rattler is an ATV version of the Tanooki Kart.  And good news, Leaf Tires give you high-acceleration wheels that don't look completely ridiculous.
