-Terrible track designs with confusing paths, dead ends all over the place and awful to non existent visual indicators (not just for dead ends, but for many surface effects and spin boost pillars).
-Terrible textures and low poly graphics that clash with the established artstyle (we all know the tracks are ported from the garbage MK Tour).
Unbelievable how a corporation can throw a bunch of dogshit on top of an already finished work made by talented artists and "nintendo fans" don't care about it. This is the most disgusting product nintendo has ever released on consoles as far as I know (not taking into account pokémon games). The fact that I'm forced to play these tracks online is infuriating, because I didn't buy the game to play bootleg mario kart. They really went out of their way to ruin an excellent game. Again, unbelievable.

The more that I play the new courses, I more that I fucking despise this DLC. I hardly care about the sheer amount of courses because they look absolutely hideous when lumped in with what is otherwise one of the best-looking games on the Switch. Then there are the Tour courses, which are obnoxiously common and boring. You can’t even avoid this shit because it’s in the online rotation.
Only the new characters are worth it, but even then, 6 slots isn’t nearly enough.

The tracks selection has brilliant so far but the biggest problem is the graphics looking incredibly plasticly and flat and the lack of MK8 features in them such as anti-gravity. And when they are there, they aren't implemented very well.

I appreciate the amount of extra content, but it's abundantly clear that Nintendo doesn't have any intention of putting actual effort into remaking these tracks, so I don't have any intention of putting effort into buying this DLC. The fact that Nintendo seems to think that porting tracks straight from a phone app does this game justice in any way is insulting.
