Meh, the next MK wave is a little underwhelming. Not a fan of the Wii returning courses.

Daisy Cruise is great though & hope they make Sunset Wilds into something interesting. It has a great aesthetic.

That leaves one more space on the character select screen. What are the odds on the final one being Pauline versus them Nintendo saving her for MK9?

I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.
Daisy Cruise and Koopa Cape both rule, and for whatever reason Moonview Highway makes me all nostalgic, though the course itself is whatever

maybe it's because I have pikmin on the brain, but Squeaky Clean Sprint is very evocative of Pikmin 4, especially with it releasing a week before

The official Hot Wheels MK cars that came out last year included Diddy Kong. I have to believe one of the two remaining slots is him

Birdo was added with the last wave. The other three are coming with this one. So two more spots remaining.

I've said it in the thread before, and I'll say it again. It's as the hot wheels have foretold. If they let that disgusting POS Waluigi in, they owe me Diddy Kong. :colbert:

I wouldn't hold out too much hope for Sunset Wilds, it was like the first retro course they put into Tour and boy oh boy does it feel like it.

It can be pretty easy to turn the wrong way if you don't have the city courses memorised; their signposting (pun not intended) is poo poo.

That is fully 60% of the problem, the other 40% is I just don't like mini golf versions of real world cities in a Mario game. I can see how that could be appealing though.

Also just the stink of the original MK Tour.

And while the wish.com graphics of Booster Pass as a whole get their fair share of criticism, the music is a problem too. I realize the musicians and designers are doing the best they can with a limited budget, but goddamn the pared-down soundtrack really clashes with that of the original 48.

Still glad they're doing them at all and looking forward to the new courses! As for no more N64 courses, what are left to realistically do? The only ones I can think of are Banshee Boardwalk and Moo Moo Farm, both of which have superior analogs already in the game. I mean I'd love if they just put in the N64 versions of those and Bowser's castle and Koopa Beach and Frappe Snowland, but it's not likely :(

I’ve started playing phantasy star ii every few years since like1993 and still haven’t made it very far. My brother beat ps4 back in the day and I remember it being a huge deal.

As someone who didn't grow up playing it, I find the MK64 tracks to be generally pretty dull, also the SNES and GBA 2D courses with some exceptions like Ribbon Road. The Tour tracks shifting routes are fun though. Crazy that MK8 is nearly 10 years old and still going strong.

Same. I don’t like them, and yet it seems like 3 of the 8 courses will be Tour courses each time. Still it’s a ton of new courses for very little money so I am pleased overall with the booster pass
