Work was slow today so naturally my mind drifted to Mario Kart. I’ve always loved the Mario Kart games, but for my money Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the new gold standard for the entire kart-racing genre. It just FEELS SO GOOD to drive these goofy little contraptions around and blow up your friends in psychedelic cartoon worlds.

Booster Course Pack Wave 5 just dropped this week and I’m loving this shit. Squeaky Clean Sprint?! KAMEK?!

This unholy union?!

Of course as awesome as this stuff is, I can’t help but think about that one last wave of goodies we’re getting at the end of the year. At the very least we know we’re getting two new drivers and 8 new-old courses (with 1 or 2 possibly being brand new), but at this point Nintendo hasn’t announced any specifics.

It’s fun to guess and speculate though! Since we’re only guaranteed 2 new drivers (and there’s a smaller pool to pull from), I started there.
