Mario Kart is a fan-favorite series of racing games featuring the iconic characters of the Super Mario universe. With eight main entries in the series and several spin-off games, it can be tough to determine the best Mario Kart game. However, after much consideration, I believe the best Mario Kart game is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch. Released in 2017, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an enhanced port of the original Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U. It includes all of the tracks and characters from the original game, as well as all of the DLC released for it, in one convenient package. In addition to the returning content, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also includes new characters, tracks, and gameplay modes. One of the standout features of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is its gorgeous, high-definition graphics. The vibrant, colorful tracks and characters are a delight to behold, and the action is smooth and fluid. The game also features a robust online multiplayer mode, allowing players to compete against each other from all over the world. But what really sets Mario Kart 8 Deluxe apart from the other games in the series is its inclusion of a revamped Battle Mode. In the original Mario Kart 8, Battle Mode was somewhat of a disappointment, but in Deluxe, it has been completely reimagined and is now one of the best parts of the game. With a variety of new gameplay modes and redesigned battle courses, it’s a blast to play with friends. Overall, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the complete package. It offers a ton of content, beautiful graphics, and tight gameplay that is sure to please fans of all ages. It’s no wonder it has become the best-selling game in the series and a must-have for any Nintendo Switch owner.

The popularity of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and its other predecessors on all of Nintendo’s gaming platforms is hardly surprising, given that the Mario franchise is one of Nintendo’s most famous brand names. Becoming a household name due to its many games has meant that debates regarding the different elements and features of the game are heated and interesting, to say the least! So, this week, we thought we’d take a look at all the different tracks that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has and which one is the best or is the ‘fan favorite’ so to speak. With lots of DLC coming to the game this very month, on the 18th in fact, that promises a bunch of new tracks which will continue to drop till 2023, we thought this would be a fitting activity. Players have found numerous tracks on the game immersive and exciting, some put it down to difficulty, others to the track’s graphical design and animation, some even choose a favorite based on the particular background music that it has. Whatever the choice, there are clearly some tracks that stand out over others that players love to play. Hyrule Circuit, Animal Crossing, Bowser’s Castle, and Mount Wario are coveted fan favorites that most Mario Kart 8 Deluxe players and fans of the franchise have greatly enjoyed. Most fans, however, chose the N64 version of Rainbow Road as their ultimate favorite track on the game. Which Mario Kart 8 Deluxe track is your favorite? We’d love to hear why!

The Best Mario Kart Character?

Mario Kart has been around for a while now and with more DLC making its way to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it seems to have given the game a new lease on life. With fans expecting over 48 new tracks to race on, the game’s popularity is at an all-time high, with many new players also making their way to the racetrack because of the said expansion. However, if you’ve been following and playing Mario Kart since its SNES days back in 1992, then you have also probably been asked the penultimate question of which character is the best to race with. Whether it’s Wario, Mario, Luigi, Bowser or any of the other 36 current characters, this question has always been a rather difficult one to answer. Now, in this generation of Mario Kart, it’s even more of a dilemma due to all the other various customization options that one has to make to ensure their Kart is the best. Whether it’s the kart options that help to answer this question or your personal preference of which character you like or has brought you the most luck, the question always seems entirely objective. For this writer though, who has always played with Wario and one many a time, I feel like it’s Mario’s archrival that takes the cake. Or the trophy. Which player do you think is the best player in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Is it a personal favorite or do you have some reasoning for picking that particular character?
