[Thoughts] My Hopes For The Final Wave In The Booster Course Pass


There is now only one more wave to go and there are still quite a few things I would like to see

source: mariokart.fandom.com

The previous wave, wave 5, launched just last month with two new cups and three characters. It was a fine wave but this final wave needs to be better so the DLC can end with a bang. There are several characters and tracks I would still like to see in this game. We know that we will get 8 tracks as usual and this time it will be two characters that will be added. So, with that said, let's get on to what I am hoping for.

~ Tracks ~

To start with, I will talk about some of the tracks I would like. The track I want the absolute most is Airship Fortress from Mario Kart DS. This track is so cool from the music to the visuals to the actual track layout, it was a full package. The track itself is very memorable, from it's bullet bill dodging at the start to the spiralling slope at the end. This track has a good chance of getting in with it having a tour version and being one of the remaining stand out tracks from DS.

Another track I would like to see for sure is Toads Factory. This track was very chaotic for it's moving parts and conveyer belts, it made for a lot of fun. I do think this one has less of a chance though, as I don't think they will include it over some of the other remaining Wii tracks like Rainbow Road. As well as this, it doesn't have a tour version they can use as a base. 

The last track I would like to see is N64 Bowsers Castle. The atmosphere of this track was unparalleled. It was also quite a tricky track with many obstacles in the way, making for a good cup closer. This one also doesn't have a tour version though, while Frappe Snow land does, making that a bit more likely. This is especially the case, as this wave may release near Christmas and Frappe Snow Land perfectly fits that season.

~ Racers ~

As for racers, the first one I really want to see is Diddy Kong. I am still really surprised he wasn't in the base game of Mario Kart 8. Then I was even more surprised he wasn't added in the initial DLC or in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. So for him to then miss out on the DLC for deluxe I feel would be a big shame. I feel Nintendo has to put in Diddy or at least Funky Kong into this next wave for sure.

The other racer I would like to see is R.O.B. This robot buddy was in Mario Kart DS as an unlockable character. It was cool to be able to play as R.O.B and with them being in smash many people are aware of them. I think they would make a good addition to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but probably had more chance in the earlier slots.

~ Closing thoughts ~

The DLC has been pretty good so far and I hope they are able to end it off well. I would be happy with even just one of these things I have mentioned making it into the game. I look forward to finding out what this last wave has in store for us. 

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

Fully Charged: Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Mario Kart World

Start of a new series! Fully Charged is a series in which I go over games I have recently played. Each instalment will release when I have played 2-4 games, updates or demos. With less time for this blog now, I won't be doing many, if any, full reviews. This series will instead cover the games I have played critically, in a mini-review format. Mario Kart World https://store.nintendo.co.uk This is the game everyone has been playing recently if they got a Switch 2. I want to start off by saying I quite like this game, it feels quite different from 8 in a good way. One of the biggest things I like about the games feel, is the control. Vehicles in this game do not feel as stiff. How could I not mention the wall driving and rail grinding too, those add a lot more depth to tracks and are very fun to do. The new knockout tour is a great addition to the series, I find myself playing these just as much as grand prix's. Free roam is quite fun, there are some cool challenges to do within ...

[Thoughts] Post Game Content Is Awesome!

Post game content is something I greatly  appreciate in games ~Intro ~ Many games over the years have included post game content, it's a way to give more content to players who really enjoyed their time with the main game and were left wanting a little more. Sometimes it is in the form of a few bonus missions, while other times epilogue stories can happen. I will now give some examples of good post game content and discuss what makes them good. ~Dark  Chronicle~ The post game for this game is quite big. After the main story you follow the main character on another small adventure to a place called the Zelmite Mine. This mysterious mine is huge, forming the biggest dungeon in the game by quite a bit. This Dungeon even has multiple mini bosses, one of which being fairly important to the narrative. While the dungeon does require a little bit of grinding to be able to get through it, it isn't too bad and I never found myself having...
