Wave 6 of the booster course pass has been out for some time now, so let's talk about it
Now that I have played the tracks a few times I will give my full thoughts on this wave. This wave I will outright say is the best wave overall, which is what I expected for the final wave.
My favourite tracks from this wave are Bowser Castle 3 and Wii Rainbow Road. Bowser Castle 3 definitely got a glow up not just for visuals but it's track design. The coolest addition was the fact you can ride on some walls, this is quite tricky to do, but it is rewarding. It overall just feels like such a different, and much better, course. Unsurprisingly the music is great for the stage as well. Wii Rainbow Road was guaranteed to be one of the best in the wave. Some people were worried about if they were going to make it a continuous track rather than looping like the original but we got it exactly as it was from Wii. Since it is 1 to 1 with the original, all the cool parts of the track are still in tact, my favourite part being the half pipe section with two great holes in the middle.
I also want to shout out Piranha Plant Cove and Rosalina's Ice World, I was looking forward to these and I did mostly enjoy both. For Piranha Plant Cove, the drops into the water were fun and made the course more memorable, it was cool seeing such a vast sea in the distance. Though, I will say the other parts of the course were a little on the bland side. Rosalina's ice world is a nice track, the beginning part of it with the super narrow ledge is really exhilarating and I like the split path at the end. Though the rest of the track kind of feels like it was cut from the mould of other icy tracks. DK mountain and Daisy Circuit were pretty decent too, I haven't really ever been the biggest fan of either but they are good additions.
The two tracks I didn't like much this wave were both the tour tracks. While Rome starts fairly strong going into a old coliseum type building, it sadly just falls off from there. Madrid has a cool football section but that's all that is not a snoozefest. I think the problem with these two tracks and pretty much every tour track is you can go on YouTube look at gameplay of one and skip around the video and not know were the player is in in the track. There really just isn't many, if any, memorable moments in these tracks and the ones that do stick out aren't that interesting either.
With all that said I really enjoyed this last wave, on top of the tracks being very solid overall, getting 4 new characters was great. The fact one of them was my long awaited Diddy Kong was nice for me personally. I am very glad I got this expansion pass for sure, it has doubled the content of the game and provided many more hours of fun. I would highly recommend getting this pass to all Mario Kart 8 Deluxe owners. I look forward to whatever is next for Mario Kart.
That's it for this blog, stay connected!
