Man, I don’t think ANYONE saw this thing coming when it was first announced.
So it’s basically 48 tracks ported right over from Tour, meaning that the graphics aren’t all there, but I never found it as bad as people said it was, they at least put in the effort of tweaking the lighting some. The track selection is, honestly, pretty good! Didn’t get everything I personally wanted (Mushroom City, please come home) but I think it’s a mostly decent selection all around.
Except they didn’t bring back Figure 8 Circuit. They had a second chance to do the funniest thing ever and they missed it. Fair enough, now I never want to see that track again as long as I live.
Also weird that they skipped on exactly one Tour original track. I think I could’ve slept just fine knowing SNES Mario Circuit 2 didn’t get ported over.
Oh yeah, and we also got new characters in the back half! Diddy bros, we are so back.
So overall, $25 for 48 new (to this game) tracks, 8 new characters, about a zillion Mii costumes and a sound test is a great deal in my eyes, shoots some life into a game that is somehow almost a decade old and reminds me that time is crumbling all around us. How’d that happen?
Now that that’s over I want 9 on my desk by 2026. And Kirby better be in it this time, I still feel ripped off.
