Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3

It's almost here! I just want to see all your opinions on the track. For me, I'm just dying for Maple Treeway and Rainbow Road

Same here for Rainbow Road. It's my favorite Rainbow Road track in the series, but I don't have Mario Kart 7, so I'm very excited.

The remakes of the other tracks look great, too. They're looking so different from the original.

I don't have any MK games except 8 Deluxe and Live (and Tour if that counts) so I'm excited for Maple Treeway and Rainbow Road just like you

I also think Boo Lake is underrated. Nintendo's done some pretty crazy stuff with the GBA retros in 8, huh

Not with Mario Kart Tour Though

It's finally here! Also you can make custom item sets which is INSANE.

The only track I don't really like is Peach Gardens because the end of the track was ruined and on lap 3, you just randomly go backwards for no reason.

I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen any wave 4 leaks yet, which is a good thing. I wanna be surprised. Also, that Berlin Byways remix is 🔥

Every of this could have been done in the comment section of my news...
Anyways opinions after testing

London Loop : While I liked some parts of the track (such as the passage indoors, the passage next to a river, the park...) the track as a whole wasn't my personal favorite. However, the road looks so good. (the bricks are god tier) I love how they added a foggy weather, it definitively adds something to this track.

Boo Lake : Absolute banger. Even if it's a simple and short track compared to the original, it's an amazing track aside from that. MKSC had creative ideas but limitations ; MK8 is unleashing the potential of those tracks and it really gives out something amazing. As an example, Boo Lake used to be a bland and flat bridge. Now it has sensational visuals, including one of the best water I've ever seen, but also a good gameplay and a good shortcut. The antigravity was a good idea, and the underwater section was a must. Anyways, this track is amazing.

Rock Rock Mountain : Nothing outstanding, just the original with another ambiance (feels like afternoon-sunset now.) The gliders are epic, they allow you to make your own shortcuts and honestly, flying over the void to reach out a pipe and then get back on track..n feels spectacular.

Maple Treeway : I'mma be honest here, it meets the standards of the base game. The bushes looks SO GOOD. Everything looks so good. I like the half-pipe, it's actually useful now. Visually the track is amazing, but a lot of gameplay fixes were made and honestly, the track is glorious.

Berlin Byways : The new music remix is incredible like wtf. I'm still vibing on it lol. Also, everything is so good, I love every tiny bit of the track, the park, the highway, the city, the metro... everything is so creative. It's city tracks at their best.

Peach Gardens : Looks absolutely gorgeous now. The skybox is magnifique. I love the new visuals, it's actually way more grand and majestic now. Look at the statues ! They look so gorgeous and realistic ! Way better than those cube hedges ! Also, it helped the gameplay and the experience a lot. You don't feel cramped anymore. But some flower patches were placed differently, and it was for the best. I also love how this path on the MKDS minimap felt completely out of place (random, sounds like something that should be used...) well they finally used it. And the transition to backwards PG is so smooth and good. Even if that part of the gardens is kinda empty, it's good. And flying over the hedges... I love that.

Merry Mountain : Looks beautiful, a nice track that fits the moment. We needed this in the wave. Also, the half pipe was very good ! Both climbing and descending the mountain felt grand and nice. Well the gameplay was food as well. Not too slippery, that was perfect.

Rainbow Road :

Now this is incredibly AWESOMELY AMAZING. The road texture looks GORGEOUS. So much better than the texture MK8 base game used. The Neon borderlines are thin and that's for the best. I love how the bumpy road section got shortened to offer a turn that isn't sharp as hell. I'm sad some of my favorite cuts (spectacular cut at the end lol, I'm sad it's gone) but it still looks amazing. Anyways, that plays godly as well.

Wave overall : outclasses easily both of the previous waves. Visuals are meeting the base game standards (aside from RRM). The downside is good. Some tracks weren't completely ported from Tour. The period of release is perfect. The track selection is good, mixing both popular and forgotten tracks (3DS RR and Boo Lake)

Help. I just turned Baby Park into Ohio

I might play the Tour tracks in the DLC once I have access to MK8DX on the Switch, giving that I've still never played MKT since launch. But either way, the Wave 3 tracks look really cool & exciting! My favorite is Maple Treeway! Wii was also my first Mario Kart as a child, so that gives me an opportunity to re-race some of the tracks.
