Mario kart 8 excitebike track zip#
Even putting their glorious reintroduction to HD aside, the implementation of Mario Kart 8‘s mechanics may as well have transformed them into entirely new tracks! N64 Toad’s Turnpike is the best example: racers now boost off cars, zip along anti-gravity walls and glide over overpasses down to the finish line. Out of all the retro tracks, the Mario Kart 64 courses were probably revamped the most. Ignoring it isn’t an option, lest you wish to lose coins and precious, precious time. Surrounded by anti-gravity paths that speed along the walls, this animatronic-like behemoth preys upon one road at a time, so you only have a split second to appropriately change course. Mario Kart 8 knows anti-gravity can’t always steal the show, so courses occasionally divert attention to certain hazards case in point, a giant lava-powered Bowser statue that punches away at intruders. 3? They’re back! Be it boulders, lava geysers, fire bars and a giant swinging flail, the King of Koopas’ lair has never been deadlier. Like Thwomp Ruins, this too activates new hazards as the race progresses for example, remember those laser-spewing Bowser Statues from Super Mario Bros. This nefarious track melds show-stopping traps and constant, yet subtle use of anti-gravity to create the best Bowser’s Castle to hit Mario Kart yet. And who can’t help but get nostalgic when the GameCube Animal Crossing theme plays in the spring version? 11. Rider!) if you drive up to him? Drifting balloons hold item boxes just like the present-bearing ones from the original series, and hitting rocks makes Bells come out (which, by the way, replace Coins here). Slider plays some of his iconic hits (Go K.K. Seeing all the familiar villagers cheering you on is neat, but did you know K.K. It’s really the number of references that make Animal Crossing a winner, however. Resetti will pop out as a hazard in all the seasons but winter, where the slippery ground reduces traction. Each season comes with its own differences: for example, the screeching Mr. Just like in the source material, the Animal Crossing track shifts into four different seasons upon each race: spring, summer, fall, and winter. While Animal Crossing is admittedly my favorite of the four cameo Nintendo franchises, I consider its respective track the best more so out of the ambition in regards to detail.
KitGuru Says: I'm not usually one for DLC, but eight new tracks for MK8 has me quite stoked.Sorry to kill the suspense, but this is the only crossover track that made the list (sorry, Zelda, F-Zero and Excitebike fans!). There's also some hints at potential tracks in there too, with a F-Zero themed track, as well as what looks like Wario's Gold Mine from the Wii version pictured on the right.Įach DLC pack costs £7 each, though you can buy them both together for £11. The only other hint we have about the Karts in the new DLC packs is this other image from the product page, which shows the Blue Falcon kart: One of the bonuses for buying both this and next year's DLC offering, is that you can customise the colours of Yoshi and Shy guy in up to eight different ways. This is the B-Dasher kart from previous Mario games, being driven by a red skinned Yoshi. However Nintendo hasn't spilled much on what the new tracks or karts will be about, until now. The first DLC offering, which will add Link of Zelda fame, Tanooki (the raccoon suit) Mario and Cat Peach, as well as eight new tracks, is set to release in November this year, with the second arriving by May 2015. If like many fans of Nintendo's recently(ish) released kart racer, Mario Kart 8, you're excited for the upcoming DLC offerings that are bringing extra characters, tracks and vehicles to the game, then get your bib ready as Nintendo has decided to whet your appetite with a screengrab of one of the new karts in action, along with a custom Yoshi colouring.
