Nintendo has finally delivered its second dollop of downloadable tracks for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and it’s a doozy. Some of Mario Kart’s finest moments are included here, alongside a few other enjoyable additions, throwbacks, and a brand-new entry.
As with the first wave, Nintendo has added eight courses divided into two cups. (Sadly, there’s still no sign of extra kart pieces or characters, including Birdo.) And if you’re not up to speed (sorry), players have already worked out what many other upcoming DLC courses will likely be.
Up first is New York Minute, a lively track from mobile game Mario Kart Tour’s roster featuring a checklist of city landmarks. I’ll get this out the way now – I am not enamoured with Mario Kart Tour, and the Mushroom Kingdom purist in me bristles at the inclusion of real-world cities.
