I don't Really like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

I know what you might say: "Are you crazy?" Well, I just don't really like it. The Character Roster is Lazy, mostly because they were so Lazy, they'd rather put in non-Mario Characters than Diddy Kong, Petey, Toadsworth, Pauline, and Diddy Kong, Why not Diddy Kong racing stuff, there both Racing Games, Birdo, Koopa Paratroopa, and Funky Kong? This isn't Nintendo Kart 8 Deluxe. Why are they adding non-Mario characters in a "MARIO" Game? And Pink Gold Peach. Ummm... Uhhh... She's Useless!

The DLC Tracks. I thought the DLC would include courses that haven't been Remade. But all the DLC is just all the Tracks that are in Tour. They added No Courses that haven't Been Remade. Except For DS Shroom Ridge. They'd Rather Put in DS Peach Gardens - which just 3 months ago, only has been remade 2 times. Now it has been remade 4 times! They could have Remade DS Mario Circuit instead of DS Peach Gardens. Or they could have Remade Wii Toad's Factory instead of Wii Coconut Mall, which they Coconut Malled by Making the Cars not Move. They Could have Remade N64 Wario Stadium. That big Jump would have been a Glider Ramp. They could have Put in GCN Wario Colosseum, it would work so well.

Unlike Mario Kart 8 Wii U version. You can't tell which Items the CPUs get. I hate how You have to do 200cc - which is the most horrible Engine class - Just to get a different Colored Metal Mario.

The Gold Glider isn't as Gold as the Mario Kart 7 Version.

3 Courses have Messed up Music: 3DS Wuhu Town which had Cool Music Just Listen

GCN Luigi's Mansion has different Music. GBA Ribbon Road has completely different Music.

Every Plumber in the Game gets a Race Course but Luigi.

GBA Sky Garden should have had a Map that Looks more like the DS Version. And the Double Items would have worked better If the Item you hold behind you wouldn't show on the Item Window, then You could Hold 3 Items.

The DLC courses are useless in Time Trials and GP. You can't use the DLC courses in 200cc to unlock Gold Mario. You can't use the DLC courses in Time Trials to Unlock the gold Tires. And there are barely any Classic Battle Courses. The DLC's graphics are Worse compared to the Regular Course Graphics. And they could have Remade SNES Mario Circuit 4 instead of SNES Mario Circuit 3 which has now been remade 5 times. The Gliding Physics isn't as fun as Mario Kart 7's. The CPU gets too many overpowered Items in Lower Places, unlike The Player. and When you have an Item to Delfect a Blue Shell or Red Shell, A boo will take it, then You fall behind.

The CPU takes Shortcuts Perfectly, then when you try that You fall off. The CPU rarely Falls off.

I don't know why they Have the Blue Falcon, Big Blue, Mute City, and a Captin Falcon Mii Suit, but No Captin Falcon. Inkling Girl and Boy should be different Skins instead of different slots, same For Villager Boy/Girl. They could have added Honey Queen, Wiggler, Diddy Kong, Ashley, Biker Wario Outfit for Wario's Slot, Petey, Kamek, Dixie Kong, R.O.B., Koopa Paratroopa, SNES Characters, Funky Kong, Birdo, Hammer Bro or they could have added N64 Characters.

They should have added double Player Mode. AKA CO-OP Mode. They also should have added Track Editor.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn't (in My opinion) not that Good.

I prefer Mario Kart Double Dash!! More, and Mario Kart Super Circuit and Mario Kart 7.

At least Ribbon Road’s track design is good. Not to mention you’re just being ungrateful with the level maker. Sure, I understand your complaints about the DLC, but making it able to unlock Gold Mario and the Gold Kart & Tyres is dumb. Do you want it to be able to unlock for those who have the DLC? Then it will be made harder.

Also, do you expect to get a lightning in first place? Of course lower ranks have more overpowered items. Having a track maker would be a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME.

I mostly don't Like how Nintendo's Remaking Courses that have been Remade. And The characters.

Coincidently, I got this game today !
Anyway, yes, I prefer most other Mario Karts, because the controls are too limiting in 8DX, even with auto accelerate and smart steering turned off.

Wait. Did you get MKDD or MK8DLX today? I'm glad I'm not the only one who prefers other MK games.

I got MKDD today. I got MKSC for Christmas 2022 and 8DX in 2018 with my switch.

Wow!! I have both MKDD and MKSC! MKSC is my Fav Handheld MK game. MKDD is the Best!!!

I'm so Glad Other People have MKDD and Play it still.

Everyone here is literally a retro game tryhard lol, most people prefer the older games to Mario Kart 8.

Also the roster is not lazy, there just isn't anyone else to add. And a level maker would, again, kill off the next game. That's why they never made a 3D Mario Maker: 64 & Sunshine are outdated enough to where they could, but Galaxy/Odyssey are recent enough that it would be a bad idea if they intended to make another game.

I haven't played it just yet, although I have played a pirated copy on an emulator in the past.

Off-Topic: What colour gamecube do you have? I have the RE4 version.

EDIT: I've played it on real hardware, although there were some disc issues, I had a lot of fun with it.

I have Jet Black. My Friend also has a Jet Black Nintendo GameCube. The Best part about the GCN is that it has a Carry Handle + an Optional (sold Separately) GameBoy Player, LCD Screen Battery Pack, Stereo Speakers, Bongo Drums, Microphone, Lan Adapter, Keyboard, an Included Memory Card, Sold Separately WaveBird, a Dance Pad, a GameBoy Advance Transfer Cable, and So much More.

What is Ur favorite type of Nintendo GameCube and Accessory?

Nice! I have four pairs of bongos, a boxed clear + indigo controller and I want to get the GBA-GC cable and dance mat (With DDR: MM). My favourite gamecube is the Spice Orange colour. Did you know that there are multiple colours of gameboy player exclusive to japan? Anyway, back to the topic .

I don't really have any of those accessories except for the Meomroy Card 4 Controllers, a Mad Catz Controller, a WaveBird, a GameBoy Player, A After Market GBA Transfer Cable, and the System itself. Of Course.

To answer ur Question I didn't know about the Big Variety of GBA Player Colors.


Okay We can get back to the MK8DLX Topic.

I just want to say that I respect everyone's opinions (Except if you say Boo Lake/Yoshi is bad)

I must also inform you that Waluigi, Wario, Baby Mario & Baby Luigi are not plumbers. There is no correlation between the 4 other than there costumes. And Luigi's retro chances are hampered by the fact that only 1 of his tracks isn't a generic circuit, & they already have Twisted Mansion & a battle course with the same & therefore, it's addition is completely unnecessary.
Alot of the old characters were filler additions, who were only in because of the most recent mainline game having a free model for each of them to go off of.(Petey, Honey Queen etc.)
And it's the DELUXE version. You can't use stuff that came out after to complain about what came out at launch. It's after. Time passed. It has no effect whatsoever on what came before. Which is why Gold Mario was added in the first place. 200cc was DLC, so they decided to add a character just for it bc it went unused.


And EVERY Mariokart besides 8 has been really ugly, Double Dash's model rip artstyle keep it afloat, but this series has always looked terrible. Graphics<gameplay, looks don't do anything in a racing game.

The new Wuhu Toown music is jazzzy, fun, fits more the 3DS Wuhu tracks, while the original was the standard battle theme of that game with slight variations here and there.
GCN Luigi's Mansion had music that fit it better. It's honestly grand, sorta scary, beautiful at the same time, instead of the original, who also had a shared time.
Ribbon Road has a jazzy music as well, it's fun, it fits the new style that is more realistic, fun, and in a children's room. It's not the same style in both tracks ; so the music had to change. The first one had some fantasy and was colored, pop, Christmas-like ; the new one was based on toys, less saturated, but funnier, more realistic, like a kid that became a teenager.
Yeah for the rest it's your opinion, understandable, acceptable.

Toadette was a Filler. The only reason She exists is Just so Toad could have a partner in MKDD. They can't have Donkey Kong but No Diddy Kong. Kamek got Removed from 2 Games. Basically being Teased. Kamek would make sense than Inkling🤢🤮🤢🤮. Diddy Kong Racing stuff would make sense since they're both Racing Games. And adding Link, Inkling, and Villager makes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Kart 8 Deluxe.

And why is Pink Gld peach Here? She didn't appear in any Game. Metal Wario would be better

Or Biker Wario and Ashley. And They should add Pauline. Plus SNES Characters.

And Vanish Luigi!

Thanks For including Vanish Luigi! He needs it More than Pink Gold Peach🤢🤮🤢🤮. Metal Wario, Vanish Luigi, and Wing Cap Mario Should be in MK8DLX, not Non-Mario Characters.
