new tracks

We’ve been talking a lot about how the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has gotten a new lease on life by the added DLC drop announced in the Nintendo Direct that took place back in February. The first eight tracks dropped on 18th March and there have been many additions to the classic game via this update. New cup names have dropped, which include: Turnip Cup, Propeller Cup, Rock Cup, Moon Cup, Fruit Cup, Boomerang Cup, Feather Cup, Cherry Cup, Acorn Cup, Spiny Cup. The latest track drops include fan favorites like Choco Mountain and Coconut Mall from previous Mario Kart games. As fans slowly accept, play, and dissect the new tracks, mixed reviews have popped up on social media regarding the update. Some fans appreciate the newness and extension that the game has gotten, while others have said that the newer tracks could have been better graphically. From what we’ve seen of fan footage and images on social media, the game looks polished and plays well. We think that this expansion, that’s said to last till 2023 will definitely add many new players to the fan base and ultimately satisfy existing fans too, because no matter what the tracks look like, Mario Kart has become relevant again, with influencers playing the new tracks on twitch, it’s bound to trickle down and involve many players around the world. Have you tried the expansion pack? What do you think of the new track drop?
