VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “I know a lot of Switch owners are desperate to play the next mainline installment of Mario Kart, but I’m having trouble saying goodbye to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The slowly-unfolding parade of DLC courses over the past 16 months has been a lot of fun, and has helped me fall in love with Deluxe all over again. As we near the end of the “Booster Course” expansion pass, I find myself unwilling to let go.
What makes the upcoming separation particularly daunting is that each DLC batch seems to improve upon the last. The eight courses in Wave five, taken together, are marginally better than those in Wave four, which were already the best. Plus, this most recent release comes with three new playable racers: Petey Piranha, Wiggler, and Kamek.”
