I've been an enthusiastic Kart racer for most of my life. The Nintendo 64 was my first console, and I can't even begin to estimate how much time I've spent speeding around tracks as Mario, Luigi, and the gang. When Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was released for the Nintendo Switch, I knew I had to have it. The game combines classic elements from the series with new features that make it a must-play for any Switch owner.
Every console has its must-play title, and for Switch owners, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is that game. But if you don't own Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or are new to the series, let me give you a brief overview. The game features a variety of characters from the Mario universe, each with their own unique abilities and stats. Players can race on a variety of tracks, from classics like Rainbow Road to new additions like the Splatoon-themed track. With the ability to play with up to 12 players online or locally, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe offers endless fun and competition.
Take a drive down the winding paths of Moo Moo Meadows, a course in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game that has been fittingly named. The track features rolling hills, grazing cows, and plenty of twists and turns to keep players on their toes. As you race around the track, be on the lookout for power-ups like the infamous blue shell or the coveted golden mushroom, which can give you a speed boost when you need it most.
