Before reading this : keep in mind i am super bias toward mkwii

MK8 dlx is the best mario kart. What a shock

Despite the fact that i dont have that same personal conection toward it that i have with mk Wii: i cant deny: mk8 deluxe is just...better

First off, the control: they are flawless ! MK8 is probably the most technical game on the franchise, but they are incredibly easy to pick up, and yet stay super satysfying to master: they feel incredible to use, thats it

The base game track are obviously incredible : they all look great, have incredible level design, variety, and i dont think there is a single stinker here. Ribbon road, mount Wario, electrodrome, cloudtop cruise, 64 rainbow road, big blue...they all are fantastic, and all feature incredible soundtrack. They are just good, ok?

The battle mod in deluxe is also really good: it still have a forced timer, but it has a lot of fun gamemode and Arena...but let me précise...IN. DELUXE. NOT THE BASE 8 >:(

all of that seems fantastic already, but couple that with the lackluster, yes, but still welcomed booster course pass, and some recent update (new item system) and we truly have the ultimate mario kart now

I dont really have complain here, even if i still prefer ctr nf and that i have a personal connection with mkwii, i cant deny the greatness of this game
