My Nitpicks About the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass 

Birdo has different color options despite not having other canon colors, but Toad and Koopa still only have one color option

Another thing about Sunset Wilds is in the original, if you ran into the tents, a shy guy would hold onto you and slow you down, it was another neat little thing that I liked a lot that sadly got executed in the 8 Deluxe version...

One thing I've always wondered, why can't you get multiple colours of Toad like you can with Yoshi, Birdo and Shy Guy? Toad is the character I play most so I would really like them to add that.

My biggest gripe with the sunset wilds situation is that if they couldn’t figure out how to incorporate the sunset, then why bother adding the track? Especially with tour releasing much better super circuit remakes like yoshi desert and lakeside park?

10:23 Bowsers Castle 3 (SNES) actually got a really good 3D remake in tour recently and it was basically completely redesigned (with the original layout still intact). They added a bunch of inclines and ramps which look like they would fit perfectly in 8 with anti-grav, so i dont think youll be disappointed by what we get Also, fun fact about the missing waluigi pinball sound effect. Its actually in the course preview of the track, so they did go out of their way to remake the sound, but either they completely forgot and nobody has noticed it yet, or they just dont wanna add it to the course itself

you can cut that coconut mall corner with the glider just not that severely, you can go over the toll booth gate just fine and it lines you up to get past the shy guys too

I've mentioned it before, but Sunset Wilds doesn't have the sunset because 8DX uses baked lighting, which sticks the skybox and lighting in place. Tour also uses this, but there it just moved the skybox down. I'm guessing why 8DX doesn't do this is because they thought that the more detailed background compared to the flatter one in Tour would make the skybox shifting look weird...? But, yeah, it still sucks that Sunset Wilds doesn't have the first part of it's name in the track, and I'm hoping Nintendo can find a work-around to this.

Koopa Cape was my favorite track in all of Mario Kart, and it shocked me when the underwater pipe lost its zappers

13:36 Since Koopa Cape still has the pipe sound effect for when you enter the underwater section but VERY lowered (probably so it’s not too obnoxious while playing multiplayer), there’s still a chance it will come back in wave 6. They also have it on the course intro so they don’t have to create a new sound for it :D

If we can get a randomize Items button, we should get a randomize button for characters and tracks (maybe kart parts, but IDK).

In Wave 4 They Actually Added a Shortcut to Berlin Byways! So there’s a chance the Coconut Mall Glider one might be added as well! Sunset Wilds is a MUST Fix though

I am currently studying game design and I constantly go back to your videos because of your dedication, research, and input. I just wanted to congratulate you for your excellent job with your videos and for giving me some inspiration. Thanks!

Another thing about Sky Garden and Sunset Wilds is that they have simplified layouts compared to their GAMEBOY ADVANCE originals, even when other super circuit tracks don’t have that

Bros became the nitpick guy now

2 nitpicks on the miis 1.Amiibo costumes- I wish they also had unique animations when you do tricks like the newly added ones. 2. I wished they added all off the tour mii costumes or at least have ones based on the characters that didn't make it kind of like how they did it with the mii costumes in smash.

9:27 Gary look there I am! :D In all seriousness, thank you for featuring my nitpick on my birthday too! 🥳 It's truly a strange decision they deliberately avoided most if not all Bowser castles 🤔

You know a Nintendo RU-vidrs mad when the screen goes red and the Mario Galaxy Bowser music starts playing

4:12 “No one likes it.” Me. I’m no one.

Steam gardens is exactly what I'd want to see translated into a Mario kart track as well, it's rly cool you also think that.

Real ones know that Toad's Factory hasn't returned because of the allegations of serious abuse of the workforce.

I quite enjoy how broken the half pipes are on DK Summit. It's funny. The tracks and especially Lakitu are usually quite restrictive.

I could be wrong, but I'm absolutely willing to bet that after wave six, there's gonna be one, super-final cup added. Think about it - Unless Wave Six makes the PERFECT of perfect course choices (which it probably won't), there's gonna be atleast one fan favorite track not included. Plus, with wave six, we'll be at 96 total courses - A sizeable number, but a bit of a weird one to cap something on. I'd reckon that one final bonus cup would not only add in those last couple of fan favorites (Or really doll up some completely left field picks), but would ALSO round up the total track number to a nice, clean, and even 100!

Don't give up hope that Airship Fortress will come to the Booster Course Pass. According to the leak, we are getting 2 GCN tracks for the last wave. The 3 GCN tracks that are in Tour but not 8 Deluxe are DK Mountain, Dino Dino Jungle, and Mushroom Bridge. Since DK Mountain and Dino Dino Jungle share similar themes, I think we are only getting one of them. Mushroom Bridge is too easy for Wave 6 and considering we got Moonview Highway last wave, I don't think it's coming back. With only 1 GCN track most likely coming back, I think they'd be likely to bring back a different retro track. Airship Fortress seems to be the most likely retro track for this slot considering it's a fan favorite track that appeared in Tour.

The change in Sunset Wilds is unfortunate, but it makes sense given the platform. As I understand it, the sky changes based on your lap and location on the track. In Super Circuit and Tour, every player is looking at their own screen, so the sky can have the appropriate appearance for each person no matter where they are. But since 8 Deluxe has local multiplayer, you can have multiple players on the same screen, so there's no real way to make the mechanic work properly. It's a shame, but it's understandable.

We really need an option for 96 Races in versus mode!

Why did I get no courses did I get cancelled or smth

I wish the Mii's appear as CPU being randomly chosen. That's something that bothered me in SSBU as well (but also SSB4), where I have to select the Mii Fighters manually to appear as CPU's and not being chosen by random. My other nitpick is that there's no award ceremony anymore after the cup. I love to see the characters on the podest without being in their karts/bikes in Mario Kart Wii, it's kinda disappointing that we just got to see the trophy and the list of players and that's it.

Fun fact: The 4 cups from the ORIGINAL Mario Kart 8 DLC have the same trophy style as the booster course pass

the ice cream track is so extrordinary it is made out of ice cream there is no such thing like it

Boy, if you didn't see the new wave six direct your gonna be happy about the characters when you do

We NEED Airship Fortress Its absence isn't even a nitpick, it's a straight up flaw

I know people say that Wii Rainbow Road will be in the final wave because of the rumors and leaks about the track, but honestly I would like to see GCN Rainbow Road to be in the final wave. For me, due to to the fact we have a lot of Wii tracks in the BCP but getting little of GCN tracks since wave 4, I wouldn't be surprised to have another GCN track. I'm hoping that one GCN track is Rainbow Road, mainly because of how nostalgic the track is and the way it is designed. Maybe I like GCN rainbow road a bit too much, but I'm hoping this does happen in the final wave.

The birdo colors are like taht because there is only one birdo and a fuckin fuckload of the othe rones

Some opinions on these nitpicks: I get that they made coconut mall’s escalators a lot easier to tell apart… but I don’t get how people ever got confused with them back in wii, like even during my first plays of the track, I was easily able to tell which was the right one (especially due to the pianta pointing to the correct side in wii). Also, the escalators being smooth make them much more fun to drive on. However, I do agree that the glider corner is a little bit strict, even if the red and white bar is a good indicator on where you can go. For sky high sundae, I may be the only person who enjoys the track and the camera thing doesn’t seem to be a problem for me. You can land safely if you carry on going straight and even if you do mess up the angle, the low gravity lets you easily re-adjust. For the items, PLEASE NINTENDO DO NOT BRING BACK THE FIB. Having both coins and fibs acting as non-protection items for 1st place would be way too frustrating for frontrunning and would make bagging an even better strategy, which a lot of people (including me) wouldn’t enjoy. I personally would like to see the heart and bowser shell from double dash. Finally, fuck Mario circuit DS. It’s my pick for the worst BCP track. At least toad circuit is ok as a starter track (which makes sense to have for wave 1) and snes Mario circuit 3 is a decent choice relative to other snes tracks. Not only is DS Mario circuit a basically definitively worse Mario circuit added in 8, but it stole slots from the mentioned airship fortress, Delfino square (my personal favourite track in the entire series) and Luigi’s mansion. This is the Byleth of the BCP

8:23 thanks for adding in my comment

*Correction:* The jingle you used to hear in Waluigi Pinball when passing under the slots actually WASN'T removed. Instead you now hear it twice during the course intro.

14:13 the reason Birdo’s alts are done that way is because that’s how it’s done in Tour

btw there is a way to cut the corner in coconut mall, while on the glider, drift off of it and turn on tilt controls while u are in the air. u can change back to button controls once u hit the ground. i used to play this game competitively and it was quite popular to do this in tournaments and time trial leaderboards.

I can't wait for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Deluxe on the next nintendo console.

They were so close to having a very clean 100 courses, we will only end with one circuit short of the glorious triple digits

3:50 My nitpick: You should have added a funny JoJo Sound Effect on that clip with Jotaro’s Ora Ora or DIO’s Muda Muda. Missed opportunity.

If I had to choose a Bowser Castle to be remade, it would be the DS one. Yes this is very biased, but I think it's a cool track.

7:06 or u can color code it like lap 1 is red, lap 2 is blue and lap 3 is yellow and if laps share the same track area they can just mix the colors like if lap 2 and 3 have a area that meet, they can make that area green for example

Still pressed that in Vancouver Velocity: the Suspension Bridge section is in Lap 1 instead of Lap 3, it makes Laps 2 & 3 a bit anticlimactic 😇

I’m super excited for Super Mario Bros Wonder

5:26 I never understood the argument that lightning under water wouldn’t make sense. You can literally get shocked underwater from the lightning item… not to mention the fireballs, or the underwater lava of BC from MK7 - I feel like the original reason it was changed was because maybe they thought the cheep cheeps were good enough enemies to replace the lightning but now there’s nothing there

My biggest nitpick was that were too many Tour tracks. I get that the content was based on Tour, but many of the city tracks blur together and I’d rather have more of the classic tracks

I have another one: the trees on vancoover velocity suspension bridge section, the cave section of mushroom gorge and the mushroom of 3ds RR are just floating on the void.

Please Nintendo, do not add another circuit track for 6 wave. Because in MK8D already has a bit too much circuit tracks. 😖😤 • Mario Circuit • Hyrule Circuit • GBA - Mario Circuit (the only Track to change with Anit gravity) • GCN - Yoshi Circuit (good) • 3DS - Toad Circuit • SNES - Mario Circuit 3 (Bad) • DS - Mario Circuit (unnecessary)

When you find out that the fake Item Box is only a retextured banana.

If Toad Factory doesn’t appear I might actually jump out a window, it’s my favorite track ever.

Exciting News!! Rosalina’s Ice World REPLACED Piranha Plant Pipeline!!

5:10 I would’ve preferred if Waluigi Pinball just straight up had its original music. If Mushroom Gorge can do it, this one can! (Then again, it _does_ fit the running theme of “Waluigi got done dirty,” so…? 🤷🏻‍♂️)

OMG imagine his reaction to wave 6 😂

Where I think the booster pass can often underwhelm is the fact that every track in it has to be playable on mobile. This means we get less detail and less ambition. Development with this model will never produce a shy guy falls, an electrodrome, mount wario, cloudtop cruise, big glue, ribbon road etc. because those course themes on top of being ambitious, wouldn’t fit well in Mario Kart Tour. I wish we just got Mario Kart 9 instead, so that we could get new and unique courses, not SNES Mario Circuit 3, garbage tier sky garden, gross graphics toad circuit, and Sunset Wilds with no Sunset

I hate the amount of hate the SNES tracks get. Like yeah there not as interesting as other courses but there not bad and still a lot of fun. And personally I like them because it's nice to have a simple track after so many complex ones.

I think the reason why we only had Birdo in wave 4 is because she has a bunch of color options unlike the others

I think Sunset Wilds didnt get the change because of split screen. On Tour, they could have it only change for you when you cross the goal. But for 8 deluxe, split screen would mess everything up

5:55 this may be unpopular, but that’s why I love the track so much, just how broken it is.

2:06 thats one of the best tracks ! Maybe it isnt the most intresting to look at but it is very fun to play on

I totally agree with the trophies. It's funny I had to race 326 tracks to have played all 88 tracks once in vs mode

I would personally like a new traditional Mariokart game, with four nitro and four retro cups

Even though I and many others have a lot of nitpicks: Graphics, No Sunset Wilds, City Tracks Blending In etc Me personally I still prefer the dlc tracks over the base game, my reasoning is because there’s more fan favorites imo there’s a lot of mid tracks in the base game and there’s more fan favorites in the dlc, ik the graphics aren’t as good as the base game but I think gameplay of the tracks is more important than graphics. I still think graphics matter but I’d rather have good tracks but bad graphics than bad tracks but great graphics.

You know why they're called Wisdom teeth? Because when you get them taken out, you go, "Ow, that Smarts!"

I honestly hope wave 6 brings a shocking banger something weve never seen before so imagine if they expand all the cups in mario kart booster course? Like that you can have the original 4 tracks while having the expanded one that is like 10 courses per cup

Nintendo turned Sunset Wilds into Sunset Milds 💀

I do hope Sunset Wilds is fixed in Wave 6, it’s not guaranteed but entirely possible

Man I really think that if they did add Batman, you can’t forget robin and the joker along with him!

UNPOPULAR OPINION: I FUCKING LOVE how janky the half pipe physics are, ESPECIALLY in 200cc. It's just the funniest shit ever and also so satisfying flying to the moon kingdom and back in a single boost.

I want to adjust the Volume of the Music, the Voices, and Sound Effects Separately. I just want to listen to the music, but it's hard to do with the Characters screaming all the time.

why did odyssey central call boston building "luigi's mansion"

The comment was referring to SNES Bowser castle 3

I agree with most these! I would argue sunset wilds is more than a nitpick though, it kinda takes away the only appeal of the track with how overly simple they made it. I think for the battle courses we could get them in wave 6, as there are only a few in tour and everything in the bcp is from tour. Also, I like skyhigh sundae....

What’s with the Creepy Face in the Black scene when talking about Sunset wilds? Just wondering, no issues! It looks like the Terraria Moon when loading a certain special world seed…

One of the features that should’ve been added was characters having their own special items like in Double Dash

I really like your minecraft videos but i admire you for not view chasing and sticking to your consistant audience and not switching because thats whats doing better on your channel

They need to add the option to have 96 races (all cup tour in 8dx) if you have the dlc Also for tour they should color code the maps like they did on the wii u bersion of mk8

My biggest nitpick is how the old stages - even though they are 10 years old now look AMAZING. The graphics are so beautiful. Dolphin Shoals blows my mind every time I play on it. Then the new tracks that have been added looks really mediocre in comparison. you can tell they're phone games and they just look bland. Also it's so boring that every new stage has koopas, yoshis and shy guys cheering for you. Even on stages where it makes no sense to have an audience.

9:49 yass Cool Bowser again🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

there could only be one new item added because the feather takes up a slot in battle mode

I feel like the thing with the escalators was justified in 7 since the 3DS's screen was half the resolution of the Wii and they removed the pianta that waved at the correct escalator, but in 8DX it's a bit overkill.

I will not tolerate SNES Mario Circuit 3 slander, that track is PEAK.

2:50 Surprisingly you are able to make that cut it just requires a mushroom and a bit of glider vectoring!

10:23 the comment was most likely referring to snes bowser castle 3, which had a gba-style remake in tour with elevation

I think it would've been cool if Waluigi Pinball used the original theme from DS. It'd fit the aesthetic a bit better and still technically make 8 the only game with an original song for every course

I hope they add rewards for completing all the booster courses on all ccs

Really just want less Tour tracks, and more Retro tracks. You have so many amazing tracks from previous games. Just do a MK: Ultimate. Everywhere is invited.

The fact that they're only using Tour tracks really downgrades the track selection choices. It's why we still probably won't get Toad's Factory, any of the 3D Bowser Castles, and while many of the selected tracks are good, it still makes it a bit dissapointing.

• Please Nintendo bring back Funky Kong is the most popular racer and there's alot of Mario Kart Wii roster fans that wants him to add in the final Wave. • R.O.B: With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has alot Nintendo Characters that R joining in Mario Kart like Splatoon, The Legend of Zelda, Animal crossing and Miis that r the race.

Why aren’t there any different colors of Toad in the BCP just like what they did to Yoshi, Shy Guy and Birdo?

odyssey central more like odyssey nitpicks👊😂

People need to realize that it’s called “Sunset Wilds” not “Sunsetting Wilds”

Gonna argue that the camera angle is the best part of Sky High Sundae lol

Which bowser castle 3? There's snes and gba. I personally want snes bowser castle 3 or gba bowser castle 4, because the tour remakes for those tracks are incredible. I mean, they finally gave depth to a snes track, and gba bowser castle 4 is not like all the other gba bowser castle remakes, it's not flat, and it is such an amazing track (it's also a 2 section track in tour, that's how long it is).

10:15 the Bowser Castle 3 that comment was referring to is SNES, not GBA. Look at both courses' remakes in Tour and you'll know exactly why

Here's my nitpick: they haven't added Green Bronze Luigi yet

8:00 is genuinely a genius play bro😊

Another thing that not many people talk about is that in Mario kart 7 wiggler actually would move his upper hands back and it looked like he was Naruto running it wasn’t much but it gave the game more charm but they got rid of it in the 8 version

*A I R S H I P* *F O R T R E S S*

they could also easily add feather into the main item selection, i doubt itd be *that* hard
