Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's unmissable second DLC polishes some of the series' finest tracks
Up first is New York Minute, a lively track from mobile game Mario Kart Tour's roster featuring a checklist of city landmarks. I'll get this out the way now - I am not enamoured with Mario Kart Tour, and the Mushroom Kingdom purist in me bristles at the inclusion of real-world cities.
It's still entirely flat, with a sulphuric yellow sky and only the most basic of elements - oil slicks, a final boost pad - to spice things up. If you're looking for a simple track to run some time trials on, maybe this is for you. Otherwise, there's little to recomend.Onto the good stuff. Mario Kart 64's Kalimari Desert was already a classic, but this version of it surely improves on the original.
Nintendo has very wisely kept this course as close as possible to the DS original, with further polish to the visuals of its Tour incarnation. Every section of this track is thrilling, from its dazzling entry lift to its rollercoaster-like slalom and manic dash across the pinball table's main surface, strewn with bumpers and flippers. Mario Kart does not get any better than this.Onto the second of this wave's cups, which kicks off with another Tour entry, Sydney Sprint.
Intriguingly, this track is yet to appear in Mario Kart Tour and returns in this DLC for the first time since its original incarnation 21 years ago. It's fine.Mushroom Gorge was one of the Wii's better tracks, or at least one of its most memorable. Playing it again last night, I was instantly reminded of the seemingly random nature of its bouncy toadstools, and of the perils that come from thinking you can try and make it over two in one bounce. You can't.
