Are there any changes that you dislike in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that differ from the Wii U version? What about changes in the DLC courses? I still hate the double items!

By the way, if you know of any places to enter tournaments like MKCentral and Mario Karting let me know!

Double items aren't bad. They are actually a pretty good feature! What I don't like is that it replaces the Mario Kart 9 spot!

I have mixed feelings about the Nature in the DLC Courses Like the Grass in Toad's Circuit is just plain green but the grass in the other courses (except choco mountain) has a few textures still being one color. I always like the HD version of the grass in the original game but in the new ones kinda like it and don't like it but the other reason why l like it is that Nintendo maybe wanted to have a different art style while keeping the Saturation at a minimum but what if the other unreleased courses have a different art style like what if the environment has a different theme around it still keeping the MK8 graphics. But that's My opinion on it.

honestly, the dlc isn't as bad as I originally thought it would, in fact it has kind of been the opposite that I have expected -

I thought the tour tracks were going to look horrible, they actually looked better than the other ones (with the exclusion of Choco Mountain, maybe coconut mall if they didn't have the saturation slider at 500%). Shroom ridge is 100% unacceptable and the most lazy track of the whole DLC. it can be argued that it is worse graphically than the ds version, and it has way worse gameplay. it also reuses the trucks from toad's turnpike, and literally everything is either untextured or really bad looking. the shortcut is fun, but it can't save such a horrible track.

the tour tracks, ninja hideaway in particular, actually were very nice to look at, visually at least. I expected it to be the opposite, if im being completely honest, but I was genuinely surprised when they didn't look horrible.

I honestly wouldn't be caring *too much* about graphics, but the thing is that it is so incredibly jarring to look at a track with incredibly realistic and good graphics to a track like shroom ridge - minimal effort, grass looks worse than something that I could make. its so weird how people defend these graphics and say that they are good, when there are way better tracks in the base game and even the wiiu dlc.

I feel like its time for Mario Kart 9, but unfortunately since this DLC was probably planned like 2 days before the direct, It's going to take 2 years to get all of that content, which could mean that, worst case scenario, it will take another whole 2 years for them to start developing a new Mario Kart game, when in reality we should not have to wait nearly as long if this dlc didn't come out. honestly, they have had since 2017 to start making this dlc, that's 5 years now. obviously they weren't anticipating for the game to sell this well and for it to still be selling extremely well and at an all time high around 4 years later, but they could have started this DLC at least in 2020, and I get that there were COVID restrictions and things of that nature, but I assume that there were still games being developed during this time. then, it could have all been released by now, and a new Mario Kart could be starting in development now. this means that the earliest we will get a new Mario Kart is probably going to be in 2025, but if they keep going with this mindset, I think it could even go as far as 2028.

the dlc seems like great fun (I haven't played it but I have watched videos of the tracks and such, also know friends who have played it), but it is severely underwhelming when you have had upwards of 5 years to make these tracks, and this is what we receive?

of course the value is there, with only 25¢ a track but it's still very disappointing, when we all know that they can do a lot better - the proof is just 2 button presses away in the menu. it's crazy how the tracks from 2014 are better than the tracks from 2022, 8 years later.

The plastic textures are especially on Toad Circuit and choco mountain.
Also I love Shroom Ridge due to it's Amazing gameplay, the coconut mall remake is good but graphics can be imoroved on most of the New tracks, this is a good dlc but mk8dx is definitively business era

Its like people have forgotten what the Tour originals looked like...

The graphics just look so plastic, so effortless and so horrible.

Most of the "textures" are just solid colors, and there is very little details.

The tour tracks actually look pretty good in this game, but the reason why they looked bad on mobile is because of the fact that it is a mobile application which can have quite a few limitations, graphically.

The original tracks graphically are either

a) decent
b) oversaturated af
c) lazy and horrible

I personally don't care what the game looks like as long as it functions. Complaining about how grass and walls look in a racing game seems a little overboard to me.
I also don't quite understand. Were they supposed to completely invalidate Tour? Does the DLC even play badly?
Also, Shroom Ridge clearly looks better than on the DS.
