This DLC came out back in 2022, but it ended this month so I thought I’d talk about the whole thing right here and now.
Booster Course 1 was underwhelming, it was overall saved by Coconut Mall being one of the most popular courses in all of Mario Kart and it mostly stayed the same when being put into Mario kart 8. But Toad Circuit from Mario Kart 7 being one of the returning courses felt off. The Tour Tracks were not that fun to play and tracks like choco mountain and Sky Garden were just fine. Ninja Hideaway was a good track, but not enough to say a somewhat underwhelming first wave. Booster Course 2 felt the same to me, The Turnip Cup was the first cup I would say was overall good, but the propeller cup had mushroom gorge which was the only good track in that cup when the rest are the not good tour tracks and one of the weaker GBA Courses. Booster Course 3 is actually my favorite, the only negative thing I can say about it is that London loop is not all that exciting of a track, but they bring in some all time classic and favorites like Maple Treeway, Boo Lake, Peach Gardens, and 7’s Rainbow Road (One of my all time favorite tracks). Just an all around fun time. Booster Course 4 is a pretty good one. Amsterdam Drift is not all that exciting and Mario Circuit on DS is one of the lesser tracks in my opinion, but there are some great ones in here like Yoshi’s Island, Waluigi Stadium, DK Summit, and Singapore Speedway. Another great one, but not the best one. Booster Course Wave 5 is pretty good, Moonview Highway is a little too short for my liking and sunset wilds is one of the more weaker GBA Courses, but like with 3 and 4 there are some great ones in here like Squeaky Clean Sprint and Vancouver Velocity, the rest are good but not the highs of 3 and 4. The last course pass was a good sendoff, there are things in here that aren’t that good. Daisy Circuit is always gonna be one of the tracks of all time and Rosalina’s Ice World is not that fun to go through with the ice physics, but the inclusion of Rainbow Road from Wii was a stellar one and inclusions such as DK Mountain make me so happy.
Overall I quite liked the booster course, it may have had a very rough start but ended on a good note. Definitely put 8 Deluxe over Double Dash as my favorite Mario kart.
