Keep in mind that there are four unused cup icons in the game, and one of them is going to be used in the upcoming DLC.
This could hint at some big, CTGP-style periodic DLC with expansions to the game. Status: It was really, really fun, guys - thanks for the ride!

I just hit this thread's head with a hammer full of led, causing it to go to the doctor to get a med... AKA BUMP!!!
Really though, this is about the DLC, which just came out today. And holy crap, it's awesome. As for the new characters, 2 out of 3 are garbage, being Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario. WHERE'S PETEY, BOWSER JR, DIDDY KONG AND KING BOO??? We've been wanting these characters to come back forever now. But Link is a cool addition. Will be maining him now . But why don't we have Captain Falcon as a racer yet??? I mean we did get a sweet course for him! The Kart parts are cool too, especially the master cycle. Just don't like how it's inside drifting. B Dasher and Blue Falcon are welcome returns as well. Nice Hyrule Wheels and Glider too. The courses are the real highlight. These courses are just as good, some even better, than the normal ones, and they have ORIGINAL MUSIC. This really is true DLC, giving us brand new content and recycling nothing. They look great in HD. From worst to best is Yoshi Circuit (didn't need to come back imo, and that awesome shortcut is still missing afaik, although it does have some kickass music), Excitebike (kind of a straightforward and simple course, but still fun), SNES Rainbow Road (It looks so much better now and even has a great BG, even if the course is outdated), Dragon DriftWay (GobbleGut meets Legend of Korra. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've watched the show. Pretty cool use of anti-grav), Wario Goldmine (Great update on the course. Looks gorgeous. Could have used a remix though), Mute City (Mind-Blowing visuals, great remix, missing Falcon , and I wish you could go 360 around the track like in GX. But still an extremely awesome and faithful track), Hyrule Circuit (VERY faithful to Zelda, they even put in rupees instead of coins and changed many of the sounds and enemies to fit Zelda! Looks great too), and my favorite new course, Ice Ice Outpost. There's something about Ice Ice Outpost that screams the glory days of Mario, by having a realistic environment and having a zany twist to it. It's colorful and realistic, just like the rest of the game, which is an art style that Zelda really could benefit from so much And that music is super catchy. Overall, a great pack. Easily worth 7.99, 11.99 is a bargain for both packs. THANK YOU NINTENDO! THIS WAS THE DLC WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! ____________________

Sorry MG3 but I couldn't disagree more with your opinions.
Yoshi Circuit was by far the best retro in the pack as well as my favorite DLC course. Wario's Gold Mine is good too. However, SNES Rainbow Road is absolutely disgusting and atrocious and i'm still baffled why they picked that garbage instead of some awesome GBA track. As for the new courses, well.... Excitebike....kind of sucks, not kidding, don't really like it that much. On a much brighter note, MUTE CITY IS AWESOME, Dragon Driftway is pretty good, Ice Ice Outpost is nothing special, and Hyrule Circuit is cool but it's kind of a hard track. Sorry I have kind of an extreme tone, but honestly, I LOVE some of the tracks in this DLC, but absolutely HATE some of the tracks in this DLC, there's really no in between. Oh and uhh, the characters? Link and Tanooki Mario are cool, Cat Peach can burn in a fire, and all the karts are cool. |

I never said Yoshi Circuit was bad. It's just my least favorite of all the dlc courses. It's probably because they didn't update it a whole lot and they removed that awesome shortcut from GCN. ____________________

Ice Ice Outpost was the biggest disappointment for me. The stage looked gorgeous at first.
But it's just. so. BORING! Seriously. The course is so repetitive. No underwater, no caves or anything. It's just racing on a really curvy stage where you drive on the same paths all the time. If you don't get what I mean then compare it to Sherbet Land GCN, Rosalina's Ice World or even Sherbet Land N64. The music and general theme of the stage is the best in the game IMO, so WHYYYYY? It's just.....boring. I wanted some boat, iceberg, underwater or cave sections. Instead we just got Rainbow Road's final segment but longer and even more dull Dragon Driftway also disappointed me but not as much as this. The scenery of those 2 tracks is gorgeous but they could have been ugly for all I care considering it's the fun and course design itself that matters most. Only reason I prefer it over Ice Ice outpost is because it has a bit more variety (at least you enter a house at the beginning and there's that small segment with those humps in the road). Unless you take the shortcut, Ice Ice Outpost is by far the dullest course of the game. I'll even say SNES Rainbow Road had better track design simply because at least that game's boring track is JUSTIFIED. It's so sad. I had soooooo high hopes for Ice Outpost and would definitely been my favourite course if it had at least had AVERAGELY good design (only other Nitro track in-game with a equally boring track is Mario Kart Stadium, but that course is supposed to be the easiest in the game). ____________________ Former SMG2.5 Advertiser and one-time Level Designer/Artist - So Apparently Norway is rich while Denmark and Sweden are happy.

I haven't played it yet (On Saturday I will) even though I downloaded it already (I preordered it way in advance). I haven't read the posts above so I haven't been spoiled like Anthe. (I read his post) So excited! |

I didn't read them as well. Just like tiny bits. Still.
I'm too tired to go turn on my Wii U right now. Not that I have time either. ____________________ |

This DLC was AWESOME. I was almost more hyped for this than when the game itself came out! I love all the tracks with Mute City being my favorite and Ice Ice Outpost being my least favorite. ____________________ You can tell I'm testing new avatars.

I have now played the DLC. Here are my thoughts (Note that I do love all the tracks):
I like Yoshi Curcuit as I think it is fun with the turns and I love Yoshi. Excitebike Arena is pretty fun as I like the jumps. Dragon Driftway is amazing as I like the course design, the music, and the graphics! Also yey Gobblegut! Mute City is amazingly fun to play on and I really like how fast pace it is. Wario's Gold Mine... I don't like how they got rid of the huge jump but other than that it is great! Rainbow Road... Meh. I don't like the background, it just feels sort of out of place. I can't really say why I don't like it that much but I do like the thwomp mechanic. (I have never played MK7 so I don't know if it was there as well) This track is alright and is fun, but my least favorite in the pack. Ice Ice Outpost is a track that at first I didn't like, but now I like it! I love the shortcuts and being able to switch between lanes. What I don't like though is the metal track... I am a huge fan of ice/snow levels in video games and it is kind of a letdown when the track is made of metal and the ice is only in the shortcuts. I feel like if the lanes were made of ice then everyone would like this track way more. So I do like this track a lot! Hyrule Curcit is cool with all the touches like the coins being rupees, the enemies, and the Zelda music. I love the puzzle type shortcut as it unique. Great track in my opinion! The new karts are great, but the Master Cycle is the best one! Or maybe the Blue Falcon, I need to try that one out. Characters... You know I actually don't hate Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach that much anymore, but they should of been costumes. Link is great though! Here is my list of the DLC tracks from least favorite to favorite: 8. Rainbow Road 7. Wario's Gold Mine 6. Excitebike Arena 5. Yoshi's Circuit 4. Ice Ice Outpost 3. Hyrule Circuit 2. Mute City 1. Dragon Driftway Also we need to bring Back the MK8 tourney, but now we need to include the DLC tracks! |

Posted by Gmanextreme9 Yeah, I didn't like Ice Ice Outpost either. The music is cool but otherwise it's just a bland track with no ice elements, just two roads. Would've rather had GBA RIBBON ROAD NINTENDO, but lol, i'm cool about it. |

Well, I would like if they remake more GBA and 3DS tracks. Or they could remake N64 Wario Stadium. Youtube | Github | Neo Mario Galaxy | Super Mario Galaxy & Super Mario 3D Land Modding |

I hope Waluigi's Pinball will be a dlc track. It already defied gravity!
So did warios goldmine. And also... WE ACTUALLY NEED REAL CHARACTERS NOT STUPID COSTUMES, AND 3rd, PERSONS :sob: dry bones, bowser jr, birdo, waluigi, King Boo, etc. Come on! MKWii's roster was the best. |

Posted by MPG IK how you feel. My mom is a pro at hiding stuff then forgetting where she put them after 1 hour or so. I almost lost my first 3DS and Wii Remote because of that (luckily, she's not the best hider in the world) ._. IMO If a parent takes your stuff and loses it then it's their responsibility and you should have all right to demand a new one from her (or her finding your old one). I know it's not actually a "right" since you're her kid, but still Anyway I dislike how whenever I play online, over half people playing (that own the DLC) play as Link. WE GET IT! YOU LIKE ZELDA! STOP ACTING LIKE A 10-YEAR OLD! It's never fun racing when everyone plays the same character because that takes away some of the interaction (if most players play different chars I actually notice them and remember them). I'm just not bothering to care about which of the 9 Links is currently behind or in front of me. You might as well be CPUs to me. Imagine a real life Ferrari Race where everyone was Michael Schumacher. Suddenly he lost all his attention and is now a generic guy nobody cares about. srsly. Stop ONLY choosing the DLC people when playing online. Offline is okay and I abuse Link when offline, but online no. Have some creativity. Play your main that's part of the base game. It's not fun seeing everyone play Tanooki Mario, Link or whatevs. It doesn't make anyone think you're cool and just annoys people. ____________________ Former SMG2.5 Advertiser and one-time Level Designer/Artist - So Apparently Norway is rich while Denmark and Sweden are happy.

When I'm online I'm Yoshi (Sometimes a different color) on the Yoshi bike. I also hate when everyone is Link. |
