Theuniverse from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

We find the universe of Mario Kart with pleasure as always. This title remains a must of the genre and will appeal to young and old as it is "fun" and each time offers a more colorful and enriched universe than ever. We find a universe specific to the series with content enriched by 48 races crazy in hectic settings like the rainbow circuit, the amusement park or the more childlike universe of a miniature circuit in XXL room.

The principle is to finish 1st in a race bringing together 12 pilots. To pass the competitors, you will need to to send all kinds of objects ((red, green or blue turtle, banana, bomb …) for slow their runs and activate other elements such as mushrooms to have a boost shot or the star to be invincible and trip your opponents. The circuits are diverse and allow to accelerate thanks to accelerometers, to jump to dizzying heights (sometimes while flying) to land again with a parasailing. The track moves in all directions both in height and on the sides and from many obstacles like the spicy flowers will make your job more complicated.

The characters 

They are at number of 12 and bring together main protagonists from the Nintendo series such as Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Link, Princess Peach as well as Mii.This time King Boo is present as well as the characters from Splatoon. They each have specific features and each have their own own karts which is more or less efficient like the speed, acceleration, grip, the weight and the maneuverability ((press + to see the performances according to the characters and the kart options chosen).

The piranha plant allows you to speed up and bite your opponents

The items or objects 

You will need them throw on your opponents for slow their runs. You will find the famous, turtles and bananas specific to the series but also new features such as the Boo, (kind of ghost) that will make you invisible and allow you to pass through the objects that stand in your way, or the feather which will allow you to make a leap in the air to dodge your competitors or any object that stands in your way. Another novelty, the possibility of storing 2 items at the same time for even more clash with other players.

The difficulty levels 

For the beginners as for them more competitive among you, know that 4 levels of competitions are available ranging from the simplest, 50cm3 to the most competitive 200cm3, but there you have to handle the game with an important dexterity if you want to finish in the first. For more spice a new kind has been added the mirror ((accessible from the start on Switch) which allows you to reverse the right and left sides of each race, for what thought they knew the races perfectly, here you are with the brain completely turned upside down !

By the way, this time an automatic mode was included so that the kart follows the road without leaving the track, it will greatly help beginners although the handling is done with some ease.

Balloon battle mode

The game modes 

Battle mode, this time no race but noise at all costs with 5 modes whose :

  • The mode balloon battle or you must hit your opponents as much as possible without being hit yourself, at the risk of seeing you amputate 1 balloon and watch your game end (when you run out).

  • The parts battle or you will have to pick up the largest number of coins within a given time.

  • The sun mode or you will have to be the last to get the famous "shine".

  • The bob-bomb mode or it’s hard to navigate.

  • And a whole new mode, that of stalking on the track or 2 teams of 6 players each have to compete. One of the teams, the police must touch the thieves, the game stops when they are all captured (knowing that when a player is hit and he goes to jail, these makeshift companions can help him by freeing him).

Time trial mode, allows more competitors to train only on circuits trying to get across the finish line as quickly as possible. When you beat a record and want to try the adventure again, know that a double yourself as a ghost will materialize on the track reproducing your previous route with accuracy.

VS mode or you find yourself one-on-one in multiplayer games.

rainbow circuit

Mario Kart 8, a full version ?

Mario kart 8 yes but Deluxe, this version in addition to the original version incorporates the DLC additional, ie content that was previously paid for, bringing the number of circuits available to 48, the only problem is that no circuit has been added, which is disappointing for the former owners of the title released on Wii U.

The multiplayer from Mario kart 8

There are many possibilities, but you can up to 12 players in line with 1 player per console and per screen.

For the online fashion :

  • maximum of 2 players on a television with a screen split into 2 divisions.

  • maximum of 2 players on a detached Switch and Joy-Con tablet.

For the offline mode :

  • maximum of 4 players on 1 screen split into 4 divisions

  • maximum of 4 players on the Switch tablet with a screen divided into 4 divisions and 4 detached Joy-Con.

For the local network mode:

  • maximum one player per console, with Joy-Con attached to the edge of the tablet Switch and maximum 8 players on the same game to play wireless LAN, i.e. with people in the same room.

  • maximum of 8 players on a game of 2 players per tablet, i.e. 4 consoles in total and 4 Mario Kart games.

However for the game for two on the Switch tablet you will not be able to play two games on the console screen with one using the pro controller and the other using the joy-Con. To play on the console screen you will each need to use a Joy-Con.

360 ° delirious universe and richness of colorimetry

 Graphics and Gameplay 

The universe is rich in color and everything is done to provide a good dose of dynamism,. The image refresh rate goes from 59 fps at 60. Loading times are reduced by 6 seconds at the start of a race. There is an improvement in the texture filtering. But Nintendo could still have gone further in smoothing the image thanks to a graphics card more powerful than its old console.

The gameplay when it allows him to move, slip and D'send your items with ease, the buttons are easy to access and the grip relatively adaptable to beginners even if a few races will be necessary for the neophytes to handle your Joy-Cons with ease.In 150 and 200 CC, don't forget to slip if you want to have a chance to finish first in the ranking by pressing zl + then give shots in the desired direction (allows to have a boost)
