Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been around the block a few times by this point, but how is the game holding up now that its Booster Course DLC tracks<\/a> have all been delivered?<\/p>\n

Long-term followers of the Mario games and all their spin-offs<\/a> will remember that Mario Kart 8 actually predates the Nintendo Switch console, with the non-Deluxe version originally launching on the Wii U in 2014.<\/p>\n
