Just the other day I was watching videos of Ribbon Road thinking "this is too bland for MK8". They sure shut me up. Best track remake bar none.

I can't wait to see the pile-ups on Baby Park at 200cc.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

oh my gosh imagine kirby and dedede riding around great cave offensive track on a wheelie kart

K-kirby Air Ride 2?

 

[Deleted member 465307]

Between the last pack and this one can we safely say best value proposition for dlc ever? And in my opinion, best dlc ever!

Maaaaaaybe. But if you're measuring based on time vs. money, I'd have to go with Hyrule Warriors ($20 for basically hundreds of hours of content). However, MK's DLC is certainly something special, and I hope this has been a big enough success that Nintendo continues this. Of course, if the quality wasn't there, then this would be terrible. But the attention to detail in these courses has been almost unbelievable. I hope everyone on the MK8 team gets a promotion.

 

[Smashman45]

The love and effort put into this game continues to show.

Ribbon Road finally returning alone makes me the happiest panda. More F-Zero love is also nice surprise.

Plus, I'm getting some major Ghibli vibes from Nature Road. That music is something else. The look of the course is just begging to be explored in a 3D Mario.

 

[Astral Dog]

For their next console launch, they should just release an updated version of this game with more characters, more tracks, all of the DLC, and 1080p. I'd buy it.

i doubt it would have more characters or tracks though, it doesn't need them, just all dlc content and characters at 1080p/60fps would be "good enough" supposing more dlc is not planned yet.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Was hoping for Maple Treeway but there's always next pack ;o

Spoiler

pls ninty

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I want to eat Cheese Land...

 

[Skyzard]

Yeah, please keep pumping out these packs.

Not a fan of baby park...the track looks ridiculously wide. [ohhhh, THAT track? :/]

Anyways, definitely getting the pack, won't turn down more MK, especially now that 200cc is coming.

Now to find my wiiu cables.

 

[The Real Abed]

I'm less interested in Baby Park (Hopefully it still has 5 laps) as I am with the detail they put in these courses. My god. It makes me wish I could get out of my kart and look around in first person. There's so much detail.

I hope they do another 2 pack of DLC next year too.

 

[Berordn]

As bummed out as I am that they even chose Baby Park (outside of the amazing decor on the outside, why couldn't they have just made that the track gosh darn it), being 7 laps with 12 racers means there's ample opportunity for the track to fill up with junk and being anti-grav ought to make it way too easy to hit stuff...

 

[AdanVC]

I can't also stop hearing Big Blue remix. What the hell is SO GOOD! Those musicians outdid themselves this time. It sounds like an epic progressive rock song. Seriously if the update doesn't come with sound options to pump it up the volume for the music I will cry for 23 days straight.

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

This is legitimately the first time I've ever seen someone praise DD's Rainbow Road. :lol

It wasn't bad but it wasn't very memorable either.

Just to reiterate, all time favourite mario kart track!

 

[Dreavus]

Oh my god, Cheese Land. THE MUSIC.

 

[PadWarrior]

Got a favor to ask. Can anyone get a good close up shot of the Pwing (the Mach 5 looking car)? I want to show it someone.

 

[celebi23]

So, I found the 7 videos from the DLC Pack music recording sessions and made a YouTube Playlist

Penguin, feel free to add this to the OP. Enjoy GAF!

 

[Frankenstrat]

Hype for Cheese Land. I like the giant suspended pizza slices in the background.

 

[Leatherface]

Another FZero track means Nintendo really does love us. New Fzero coming soon? Or maybe Fzero GX remaster?

#hope

 

[BitStyle]

Those music tracks...

So freaking good! 🙌
Especially the Big Blue remix and the Nature Road track

New Wave Race instead REVERSE OWNED

 

[rekameohs]

Ribbon Road and Cheese Land? Holy fuck. They finally picked good SC tracks. That game rules.

 

[maniac-kun]

Ribbon Road reminds me of Katamari Damacy. We need a new good Katamari

 

[The Real Abed]

I don't even care about the track in Baby Park. I just want to visit that amusement park.

Also, they don't even need to make a new F-Zero. Just keep releasing MK8 DLC packs with one F-Zero track each time and it'll be fine.

I think they need to do a Star Fox track with Fox as a playable character. It could take place on Corneria and could look amazing. Release it as a tie-in for the new Star Fox game.

Do it, Nintendo.

Then do a Metroid pack.

Then a Pikmin one. (That could be fucking amazing. Driving around all shrunken down around dirt tracks in the forest.)

Of all things.. you want a narrow Baby Park?
literally, whatswrongwithyou.gif?

 

[Dusk Soldier]

The new racecar is called the P-Wing. I wonder how it stats are going to spread out. It will probably have enhanced air speed, but all the other karts with good air speed have had terrible ground speed. Hopefully this one will be unique.

Maybe they'll announce a Cranky Kong pack at E3 featuring the track Bedpan Park.

Man Double Dash was always a rough game to look at but this head to head is just making it even more apparent just how much time has passed between the two games.

 

[Neiteio]

Cranky Kong with the Crocodile Isle track. Starts in his museum and then proceeds across the entire island. It's a Mount Wario-style level and takes 20 minutes to complete.

 

[Sniffynose]

This is pretty awesome, but I really wish they would give battle mode some love. Battle mode without proper arena tracks (block fort says "hi") was the worst idea ever. I used to play with friends and family all the time in battle mode but that mode is literally trash in MK8 and it's a shame.

That being said any new content is welcome, the prices for the last bundle was awesome.

 

[Theognosis]

Thank you Nintendo for another great DLC! The best "next-gen" game just keeps on getting better!

 

[Frankenstrat]

If they ever had a 20 minute track I would probably buy it. No joke, Baja 500 style stuff would be awesome.

I miss three lap Rainbow Road 64. That was the real iron man challenge. The part that really sucks about it in Mario Kart 8 is that now there are enough track dynamics to make the whole thing an engaging long length course but there's no 3 lap option...

I think two laps would've been the sweet spot, imo

Great, now Fox News is going to report that MK8 promotes terrorism, and the DLC is going to be delayed

 

[Tanoooki]

This is OT but why are the comments disabled on the videos in the OP and why does it seem all Japanese language YouTube vids by most video game companies have comments disabled? Are comments passe in Japan or do they just have a really bad troll problem?

 

[LoganNotABoganYouKnowIt!!]

probably want to avoid youtube comments.

they don't want to deal with the western audience's shit...

You mean ign or polygon? Kidding... kidding...

 

[ramparter]

This looks 10 times better than the first dlc!!!

 

[KarmaCow]

Man Double Dash was always a rough game to look at but this head to head is just making it even more apparent just how much time has passed between the two games.

Every Mario Kart has looked like dogshit barftown since the original with the Mode 7 spinning. MK8 bucked the trend in spectacular fashion.

 

[MrSaturn99]

OH GOD IT ENDED UP BEING REAL

OH MY GOD BABY PARK AND NEO BOWSER CITY

OH MY GOOODDDDDD RIBBON LAND AND THE FOREST STAGE LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL

 

[Blues1990]

Do you guys think they announce any more DLC packs at E3?
Seems like a no-brainer.

You don't know how much I want a track that is a reimagining of the City track from Rockman: Battle & Chase, along with the Blue Bomber & the Rush Roadstar as his vehicle.

 

[Benzychenz]

I hope there's more DLC because we still don't have Bowser Jr.

Spoiler

Watch packs 3 and 4 include Tanooki Luigi, Cat Toad, Metal Baby Mario, and Pink Gold Baby Peach.

 

[lt519]

Still haven't played DLC 1, promised myself I'd wait til both were released and enjoy it as a massive expansion to the game. Now all this and 200cc mode it's really like Mario Kart 8.5 for $13 (hey bungie pay attention)

 

[GWX]

The Facebook video of 200cc Mute City Nintendo posted April 1st features no music, only sound effects. I wonder if that means the update does include the sound options we all want so much!

edit: this video, now in 60fps

 

[GustyGardens]

Spoiler

Watch packs 3 and 4 include Tanooki Luigi, Cat Toad, Metal Baby Mario, and Pink Gold Baby Peach.

Don't put those kind of vibes out there.

That being said, when are we going to get Baby Donkey Kong? He'd obviously be the superior baby.

I would pay the money for Cat Toad.
