Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Graphics Comparison
With Wave 1 of the new Booster Course Pass coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and bringing back courses from previous Mario Kart games, we’ve put the old and new courses head-to-head to see the graphical differences.
It’s been 5 years since the…
I hope they bring back Wario Coliseum 🙂 but with 3 laps
I don’t like that the new shroom ridge has a much fewer trees. I prefer the forest visual from DS over this.
What is this lineup? Are this just your 3 favorite tracks or something?
Choco Mountain: Incredible overhaul. It already got better on DS, but this actually makes it look interesting and even more fun to drive around.
Shroom Ridge: Is it me or is there no oncoming traffic in 8? It makes it a bit less chaotic, but that sort of works with the chill road trip vibe and the ramp cars help compensate. The art style changes quite a bit giving it a bit more of a Mario level feel and I kind of like it. I'm not sure a more realistic approach would have worked better on a Switch.
Oh, and not drifting in MKDS should be an international crime.
Sky Garden: It feels unfair to even compare these two. I feel old n– Wait. Where are the other the tracks?
Why do Switch graphics so often look washed out? What happened to the bright, vivid colors of past consoles? And why do they put a bloom over everything?
I think a track layouts comparison is more appropriate. Graphics are OBVIOUSLY going to look better so the title is actually misleading. Furthermore, tracks are pretty different between games. Choco Mountain looks nowhere near the original version.
Wow they really update the graphic I thought it was going to look like how it did originally
Does this Mario Kart booster actually work? unlike Pfizers?
Why are the wheels on 8 not straight?
You should compare the tour version to switch
0:24 Peach hits Peach
Always did like how some courses would return sooner or later.
This games replay value is through the roof
Mario Kart DS feels so much more lively and detailed.
sky garden are more similar then alot of people make it out to be
Ugh it’s 50cc
Waluigi Pinball better show up at some point, and that would look gorgeous
Now make the comparison between mario kart 8 starter courses and the dlc. The new tracks are ported from the mobile game, and it shows.
I kinda liked how the original Choco Mountain looked. Might be because the retro graphics and fog gave it an eerie abandoned atmosphere that evokes those liminal spaces vibes. The new one isn’t bad or anything, it’s just that the extra NPC’s and details make it more lifelike.
Choco Mountain being the worst map of N64, I gotta say: They really made this a quite cool track!
I love the added Airships and Koopa Paratroopas in Sky Garden.
Sky Garden was honestly my favorite theme from Super Circuit. The remaster to it sounds absolutely amazing!
2:47 has this person ever played Mario Kart DS before?
Seeing n64 Mario kart brought tears to my eyes. So many good memories I had. Also want to thank my mom and dad for bringing this into my life ❤️
