The Complete Set of Tracks
It should come as no surprise to many players that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be the definitive Mario Kart 8 experience when it releases in April. That means that alongside the new characters, and additional vehicles, Deluxe will also include all of Mario Kart 8’s 48 tracks that both shipped with the game and released via the two DLC packs.
That means you’ll have 12 different Grand Prix’s to take part in right from the get go which should keep players busy for plenty of time if you’re making your way through the different CC categories, too. Of course, some players may be a little disappointed to find that there are no new tracks included in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but that’s not to say that Nintendo couldn’t do that at a later date via DLC. While nothing has been confirmed on that front as of yet, it’s certainly possible, especially after the success of Mario Kart 8’s two DLC packs.
