Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Producer Says DLC Maps will be Faithful to Originals

In a recent interview, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe producer, Kosuke Yabuki, mentioned that the new DLC maps will be faithful to the originals. The first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Booster Course Pass was released on March 18 and will have waves of tracks dropping until the end of 2023. Each wave includes different tracks from all of the past Mario Kart games, and in total there will be 48 new tracks for players to enjoy.

The tracks that have been released in the newest wave are receiving mixed reviews, as many of the courses do not include the new features that were seen in the base game. There is a lack of anti-gravity feature in the remastered tracks, and fans were hopeful that the courses would have been remastered to fit in more easily with the new gameplay style. Regardless, this did not stop fans from enjoying the new tracks and remembering their time spent on the original versions of the game. This new DLC will likely lead to the ever-growing success of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and will give fans something to look forward to for the next year.
