Mario Kart 8 deluxe, after 5 years of being the Nintendo switch’s best selling game, is finally getting DLC in the form of the booster course pass. This is going to be bringing 48 retro tracks to mario kart deluxe from super mario kart, mario kart 64, mario kart super circuit, mario kart double dash, mario kart DS, mario kart wii, mario kart 7, and mario kart tour! The final wave, wave 6, of the dlc dropped a few days ago containing two cups, the Acorn cup and Spiny cup. That brought over a total of 8 tracks, Rome Avanti, DK Mountain, Daisy Circuit, Piranha Plant Cove, Madrid Drive, Rosalina’s Ice World, SNES Bowser’s Castle 3, and Wii Rainbow Road. In today’s episode of level by level we’re going to take a look at all 8 of these tracks to see if they’re good or bad retro tracks and put them in a tier list! Oh and there are 4 new characters, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline, and Peachette!

Madrid Drive and Rosalina's Ice World got way too much hate. Madrid Drive is great in that there's many enemies to avoid across the track and the parts which have no enemies are aesthetically great to look at, making it an overall great tour track imo. For Rosalina's Ice World, I actually really like the difficulty of the first turn and the ice cave sections make it a unique ice track imo. The open section is also really nice with the half pipe's helping you with getting to the ice on top of the water, so overall it really had great improvements.
You have no idea how much I wanted them to make cat peach and tannoki Mario alts and give us Charging Chuck and Poochy
22:35 did you forget to add the bowser plushy video?
This new update has been so wild. The game feels so complete but also, I’m getting single mushrooms in 12th online so it’s a bittersweet moment
My s tier tracks are Rome avanti daisy circuit Madrid drive rosalina’s ice world and Mario kart Wii’s rainbow road
Mm
23:35 just felt so wrong
Mario Kart fans will always be insanely whiny. The booster course pass brought 48 new tracks and 8 new characters yet people are STILL complaining about tracks and characters that didnt get in or ones that got in that they don’t like. I know everyone wants a mk with all the tracks and characters but that feels unlikely from Nintendo at the moment
6 uploads in a month? Think that’s a new record for Odyssey. Great video as always 👍
Rosalinas ice world (A-S tier)
DK mountain (C tier)
Rest good placement
RR Wii (B tier)
cool bowser was the most satisfying tension release moment of my life, i almost lost my mind when we had no cool bowser reference
23:33
WHERE WAS IT?
WHERE WAS COOL BOWSER?
28:49 YYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSS
Rest in Placeholder Text Airship Fortress.
Ok yeah but the Booster Course tracks honestly look phenomenal for the most part, great job Nintendo!
Is it just me or did they reuse the 3ds rainbow road sky box for Rosalina's Ice World?
I just don't think they chose the right cities for tracks. They're not very unique from one another. Cities like Rio, Las Vegas, Cairo or Mexico City would be so much better than some of the ones we got.
Oh yay, I’m not the only one who thinks that Roslina’s Ice World was a bad choice bringing back
We now have 4 Rainbow Roads in one Mario Kart game.
I think DK Mountain was disappointing. The paths and turns were too wide, the road wasn't nearly bumpy enough, the fissure near the second to last turn is a non issue, and the bridge helps more than it feels like a hazard. In Double Dash!!, the bridge wobbleed in ways where you really had to maintain balance on it, making leaving items on it very effective, but it just helps you get boosts by tricking off it now, missing the point entirely. It's like being able to drive through the pool on Daisy's Cruiser when originally, it was a hazard to avoid. The half pipes come back from the Wii version, but just like then, they really don't add anything. Not only that, it looks like crap. Besides the face being carved onto the mountain this time, the track is plagued with poor textures that makes Toad's Circuit look good in comparison. Overall, DK Mountain in this game is a bland, milquetoast version of the GameCube original.
Rosalina’s Ice World is fine, I always enjoyed it
23:34 i was preparing for the cool bowser, but he never came
