Did Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Smash Ultimate get the BEST DLC 

14:20 I lied by the way Freddy is unironically my second most wanted character

Sad we can't say it was Mario Odyssey

There should have been a point based on which game added more WALUIGI stuff. I wonder who would’ve won it.

I think one aspect you should’ve taken into account was replayability. With Mario Kart you’re gonna want to race on the new tracks over and over again where as with Smash, you’ll try out all of the new characters at least once, but only continue playing as the ones you really latch onto

Something you didnt mention is that in the video Sakurai made to show off Steve's moveset for smash, he stated that he and his programmers had to modify EVERY SINGLE STAGE in the game with a new grid system just so that Steve could simply place blocks. If that doesnt show the love and attention smash bros dlc got, idk what does

Actually, the booster course pass DID have 48 new tracks, because we got the staff credits. But we can also count Yoshi’s island results and the separate variants of Koopa cape, Singapore, moonview, 3ds rainbow road, and Madrid drive. That gives us 57 new music tracks to listen to.

If they added Steve and a Minecart to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it would be a tie

Honestly to me, mariokart wins by a little bit. They randomly decided to double the game's content for less than half the price 5 years after the game came out, almost 10 years after the original. And they added some QoL things like the music selection thing and the new characters. Were some of the tracks misses? Yes, 14 cities was excessive. But I think most of the tracks were pretty good considering they had to make 8 in around 3 months or so for like 2 years (excpet for sky garden that one sucked😒)

i think it'd be a lot more fear to compare the smash characters to the mario kart stages and vice-versa as the characters in smash, and the race tracks in mario kart are what really gives you gameplay, while mario kart characters, and smash stages dont change the game nearly as much(especially when you already have the base roster)

I’m genuinely curious as to which one got better dlc. Both of the games are great imo

As a Terry Main, I have to say, walking up to someone, asking if they're ok, and then exploding them instantly has never felt this satisfying.

I LOVE how I’m likely on of the only 3 people in the entire world (or maybe even the only one) to actually, unironically be delighted and like the inclusions of both Min Min and Peachette for SSBU & MK8D’s DLCs respectively. I don’t care if they are (for the most part anyways) despised by literally everybody else, I love their character desings and the re presentati in they give off. Heck they may even be the only real and genuine surprises I’ve had about these DLCs, mainly due to everything else being either spoiled to me, me not knowing about the character prior to the reveal or just really not anything special. So yeah even if I may be alone in genuinely loving and supporting their inclusions, I do not hold any such regret or remorse for them at all, one bit. Quite the opposite in fact, I say they deserved to be included and I’ll die on that hill. 🍜👑

1:15 My problem with this comparison is that the characters aren’t the meat of Mario Kart. It’s the tracks. While the Fighters are the meat of Smash. Not the stages. You should actually compare the quality of the fighters to the quality of the tracks, as that’s the meat of both DLC.

12:39 Terry’s fairly well known in Japan and Latin America. I hate when people diss him just because they’re too focused on the characters popular in English-speaking communities. Heck, even within English-speaking communities, KoF’s still got its fans in the FGC.

6:33 ERM ACKSHUALLY, in sora’s victory theme it plays a- uhm guys wtf is fazbear doing outside my second story windo

These were some of the BEST DLC'S I've EVER seen! They were both amazing for different reasons! Now we just need proper Mario Odyssey and Wonder DLC!!!

Terry was known by pretty much everyone who actually dared to play fighting games outside of smash. Truly the strongest and bravest amongst society. Do not act like he was some un-known the entire south america region probably went into a week long celebration as a reaction to his reveal.

Good video in general! I will say, I do like a lot how you compared things, but I don't know what else you could compare next... But you will surely figure that out! If you make another one of these I will definitely watch it happily!

I my opinion, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe had the best DLC. I like Smash Ultimate’s DLC, but tbh I was more excited for the new tracks rather than the new Smash Ultimate characters

Great video! I personally really like this style of comparing 2 different games on a specific criteria and I would really like to see some more videos on it, maybe you could make a video on Mario 64 vs Mario Odyssey or Mario Kart DS vs Mario Kart 7, either way really great video!

While I wasn’t excited for Pyra, playing Xenoblade 2 changed my opinion on that. It’s now my favorite game of all time, and they became one of my new mains.

I’m still rioting that Peachette Was added in instead of Hammer Bro :(

I do think this was an interesting question while I do enjoy the Mario kart 8 quantity I won’t deny Ultimates quality

Extremely well put together video

One has Minecraft Steve, one has Funky Kong, in my eyes that makes them perfectly tied

My best argument for the booser course is that no part of me wishes it didn't come out

Mario kart technically doesn’t have 47 music tracks because some tracks have different versions of that track theme. Ex koopa cape has a unique music piece when you enter the forest section.🥒

Prevideo thoughts: I think price wise, 8 dx, we got double the base game content and new characters. However I think smash did better content overall, as you got a bunch of new fighters, a stage for each, and new spirits.

You forgot the Cuphead and Shantae music tracks that were also added with their respective costumes, you brought up San’s Megalovania so I think adding the other 2 Costume tracks is also fitting

A PERFECT SPLIT

I would LOVE for you to do a music video! Like, ranking every MK8 song or smash song, that would be amazing!

tbh i don’t think the quality vs quantity argument is entirely applicable, you only spend a couple minutes max on each track at a time and the experience of each race is generally the same regardless of track, unlike a high quality smash character like steve being added that fundamentally changes your gameplay experience, mariokart tracks and characters are not capable of the same level of “quality” that smash dlc is because the game just isn’t as nuanced and particular, so it’s in bad faith to hold them to the same standard.

Love the unique vid idea❤

I like MarioKart 8s dlc better, great video!

personally my favourite DLC on the switch is xenoblade 2's, mostly just because it provides everything a fan of that game could want and a lot of it for a pretty cheap price

6:35 Floral Fury: "Am I a joke to you?"

I think all of the things here can be different for everyone. Im someone that does not play smash for example, so i did not care at all when something new released, but just could NOT wait when a new BCP wave released. Another example would be the music; im a huge fan of the music of mario kart, and always listen to it, while i never listen to super smash bros music. It's also hard to make old mariokart songs feel more modern then they already were, or keeping the same feel as the original. I might also be a bit biased, but you are too; just check timestamp 12:55.

Errmmm, actually it is 48% for Kario Mart and 52% for Muper Bash Sros.

Video idea. Compare Mario Odyssey to Super Mario Bros Wonder

I feel as though the approachable aspect of the dlc could've been considered. Several of the dlc fighters in smash ultimate are up there with the most complex fighters to master. That makes wanting to try them more daunting/difficult for a casual player. Compared to the Mario Kart dlc which is arguably approachable for all skills since is just more races and characters with nothing much really changing the skill ceiling/floor.

In my opinion, it's whether you like new layouts or new chracters. But mario kart has funky Kong, mario kart wins

Not 11, but there are actually 12 dlc characters in smash ultimate. Piranha Plant is also DLC.

Sup love yo vids

No, clearly the best DLC on the switch is the Luigi's mansion 3 multiplayer pack. Obviously

Another nice thing about MK8 is that you can play the tracks without needing to buy the dlc if you play online, niche but nice if you dont stack paper

I LOVE the joker winning music

The BCP would've won if it had Batman

Great video why did you say Peachette last lol 😂😂

5:30 tbh I’d watch like, a ranking or all the new ultimate remixes or something I was gonna make a joke about the MC remix used in Steve’s trailer but I can’t remember it’s name and my brain keeps saying it’s Dharmann

Hey Odyssey As someone who has played an instrument and knows a basic amount about music i would say dont really worry about how to talk about music Now granted idk what you know about music but coming from the experience of a guy who loves music but cant always find the best ways to express it I would say just try your best to describe what you like about it in broad terms Hope this helps in any way Great video And keep up the entertaining content!

There was a funny Jumbo Josh reference.

imo its mario kart for sure. all the extra tracks is what does it for me. im not a huge fan of most of the dlc fighters but all the extra tracks is really nice

Just curious, and maybe take this as a video request idea if you want, but why do you want Dry Bones in Smash anyway? What would the moveset be?

Are you going to make a video ranking the Zelda stages in smash ultimate like you did with Mario?

Hi I love your vids ❤

I think there was a missed oppotunity to talk about how in MK8D you can still play on the DLC courses, I know you can play DLC maps in smash but the courses are the main part of MK8D DLC while it's the characters for Smash

6:38 and Burning town from the shantae costume

You forgot to count Floral Fury from the Cuphead Mii costume during the music segment

By the way, the bcp did add 48 new music tracks. The new credits added a new song!

0:08 tfw xenoblade 2 and xenoblade 3 exist (including torna the golden country and future redeemed, not just the fun bonus stuff for base game)

12:38 im pretty sure snk and fatal fury are popular in Latin and South America

Bringing licensed characters from other companies to your game is way more impressive. Smash wins no diff.

6:36 You forgot about the Cuphead and Shantae one too.

I think a better way to compare the two DLC’s would have been by giving each dlc a ranking in a category of 1-10 and then taking the average and declaring that the winner. This way it would represent if the two DLC’s are similar in an area and allow credit to be given to both. Not that I disliked this video or anything, it was still very entertaining to see this comparison even in this format.

These DLCs are so close to each other. They’re both amazing and make their already great games far better. I think the BCP is the better DLC though because of one thing: Price!!

I think overall hype, yeah Smash wins it but I was much more of a fan of the BCP. While I grew up simultaneously with both Mario Kart and Smash Bros, I found Mario Kart to be way more exciting because the DLC brought 48 tracks back from previous games. Idk I love Smash too but a lot of the characters were misses for me personally even though they were hype imo. Like when they came out I played them for like a day and then I stopped playing Smash again but Mario Kart, every new wave I stayed for like 2 or so weeks before being bored. Plus I also liked the speculation community of the BCP. Was a lot of fun talking with people about which tracks had a great chance and which ones didn’t and still having a bit of surprise factor sprinkled in there. Not good ones though like Airship Fortress sadly.

My only critique about the smash DLC stages is despite the gimmicks, the only one stage added that wasn’t essentially a flat stage with a gimmick was Spiral Mountain. Not a lot of variety compared to the MK8 DLC tracks

14:20 I’m totally thinking that😂😂

11:20 Perfectly accurate statement for my mental health.

Awesome thumbnail.

This feels like the argument beetween terraria and minecraft. They are simply both good in their own right.

Definitely gotta go with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC here. Although they compare in the way that they really have editions that are here a hit or miss here whether you love Mario Kart or Smash Bros

smash ultimate got the best dlc because i can now play as a piranha plant fighting minecraft steve in hanenbow from the ds music toy game electroplankton while an official toby fox custom remix of megalovania plays as it is one of the songs that can be played on hanenbow for obvious reasons gosh i am so happy that hanenbow got into smash somehow. f***ing electroplankton of all things. i loved that game. and now it is officially linked to megalovania in an official real collaboration between nintendo and toby fox

If dry bones gets added, what will you say at the end of your videos?

Some ideas for comparision videos: - Pokémon version A VS version B (Scarlet/Violet, Sword/Shield...) - Zelda BotW VS Zelda TotK - Super Mario Odyssey VS Super Mario Bros. Wonder (No bias is allowed)

11:20 as an insane person, I must say that I bought like 10-15 mii costumes. I dont even use most of them 😭😭😭

Bro forgot Cuphead's and Shantae's remixed music. 💀

As much as I loved the Smash DLC I feel like a very big factor for me is playability. Yeah sure the characters are cool and their trailers were hype but most of them just don't really mesh with me playing as them. Most of them are fine but I feel like the only standouts are Joker, Terry, Sephiroth and the Aegis. Meanwhile overlooking the fluctuating visual quality are mostly the tacks we remember in the amazing 8 engine. This isn't to say I appreciate the dip in visual quality, just that most of the tracks are fun to race on no matter what.

I think it definitely depends on which game you play and enjoy more. I get way more enjoyment from playing Mario Kart than smash, (I'm bad at smash) and even though I didn't initially vote because I couldn't decide, through the video, I found myself wanting Mario kart to win, so that's my favorite

tbf making Smash stages, especially the ones where they move like Hero’s stage needed a lot of 3D modelling effort, so idk… And yes Los Angeles Laps is one of the best thing to ever happen in gaming

Ok so when you said their were 11 fighters in smash your actually wrong! The characters are actually Joker, Hero 4x, Banjo, Kazooie, Terry, Byleth 2x, MinMin, Steve, Alex, Zombie, Enderman, Sephiroth, Pyra, Mythra, Kazuya and Sora. And thats not including Morgana and Slime. Also I say we count Dry Bones, he's just that awesome! :)

Easy. Mario Kart just had content ported from Tour. Ultimate had DLC built from the ground up, and actually made to look consistent with the base game.

ok I see that the first smash dlc characters were for different continents because joker was more global, banjo was especially for Americans and terry for latinos. I'm from Chile and I was at a convention when they announced Terry and it was completely crazy.

One thing that i found very funny about mk8dx Is that peachette and Rosalina are meta

9:11 no herobrine sadge

Not to be *that* guy but technically the booster course pass did bring 48 songs cos of the booster course pass credits.

I can't believe the game about tracks got more tracks and the game about characters got more characters💀💀

Smash gave us what they said for the most part, while mario kart gave us what they said then more, from not only the new characters, custom items, new patches, and better quality tracks!

Megalovania the only dlc mii song The only one

2:43 Erm actually Birdo and Peachette share the same stats as Yoshi, Peach and Daisy which is the best class in the game meta wise sooooo..... ☝️🤓

It really depends on which game you prefer, I guess. Because as someone who's dabbled in MK8D but _loves_ Smash, it's really no contest at all. But someone who plays Mario Kart more probably feels the exact opposite 🤷‍♂️

13:56 Airship Fortress DS and Wario Stadium 64 deserve justice 😢

Rare occurence of Cool Bowser not being mentionned in a video

5:30 250k special, all ssbu songs ranked??!!

I don't understand why 99.9999 percent of people think that the booster course pass was low quality. First of all every track is so unique from each other and for what ever reason everyone loves airship fortress when it is unironicly one of the worst tracks since the snes tracks it is actually horrible. And the quality of the tracks was surprisingly good despite what most people say the vast majority of tracks were at least on par with the base game if not above it. I have two complaints with it one. They didn't include dino dino jungle the 3rd best Mario kart track of all time and two. They added to many characters both in the booster course and especially the base game that are not Mario characters (funky and diddy Kong from the booster course and way more in the base game) this is MARIO kart not Nintendo kart but those are both basically irrelevant as there are plenty of actual Mario characters not to mention all the mii costumes (if I can't be a goomba I can at least make my mil look like one) and they added the 2 best tracks of all time coconut mall and 3ds rainbow road so in short the booster course is definitely the better dlc. Or maby this is just another entry on my seemingly endless and continually growing list of controversial Mario / apparently Nintendo opinions

I used to play competitive Smash when the dlc was still being released, and one thing to also consider is that Smash Ultimate us a new entry in its franchise, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a nearly decade old game that got ported and only got dlc like 5 years after the port came out. This heavily affected my enjoyment of the booster course pass because at the end of the day, I was still playing Mario Kart 8, and I was already kinda sick of doing that by the time they announced the dlc. I admit that having some of my favorite tracks of all time back has increased my enjoyment of the game, but I really wish they would've remade more tracks from the other Mario Kart games and only ported the best city tracks. I get why they did it, but just becomes a chore playing them online when there's a high chance to get em.

You could compare all dlc included in the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack

You know that i found only one time the igloo version of the Minecraft map😶

I think all of those factors he talked STRONGLY depends on Who you ask.. But since its my turn im going with Smash Ultimate! (despite me actually only owning Joker, Pyra/Mythra and Terry ONLY because of the music that came with them) For MK8 deluxe, I never had any problems with them adding Non Favorite Tracks because those need more love too, much like Smash Ultimate where Pyra/Mythra, Min Min, and Apparently Terry and Kazuya, If people didn't know who they were prior they Do now LOL! And Imo even so, IMO MK8 deluxe dlc got Carried by Funky Kong and Wii Rainbow Road..but every other thing heard has either a certain track getting "ruined" a Character that "Doesn't belong" and other Nitpicks.. Smash has those nitpicks also with people not shutting up about "Anime Characters" or what not but it also got Carried by Fan Favorite things. So even tho i said Smash Bros Ultimate, there's not really a wrong answer here!😊

Next please make a Mario and Luigi video. I mean you HAVE a 3ds AND switch online expansion, so can you?
