Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Besides, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe really ****** up the stat balancing for the characters, as you literally have to go all Metal Mario or Pink Gold Peach for the best possible stat totals.

I haven't checked the MK8D stats in a while cause I stopped caring but

Doesn't the DK weight class have similar stats but more speed? Aren't they better?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe seems poinless to me. It is basically the DLCs on Mario Kart 8 but you don't need to buy them but you need the game and a Nintendo Switch which you are better of buying the DLCs.

New Battle Mode
New characters
New vehicle pieces
Cheaper than the original game with DLC

Seems better off buying the original to me.

Toad-Party means if you already have the Wii U version. Clearly, if you have neither, you'd wanna buy MK8D, but if you already have MK8, then you might not want to buy MK8D

Have you even played the new version? Metal Mario + Pink Gold Peach are good, but not that good.

I don't have the money to even buy a Nintendo Switch system right now. And practically every retail store that has a Nintendo Switch display does not let you play game demos.

With that said, I just have no reason to be getting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, since you're not getting anything new with the GP cups; it literally reuses every single track from the original game.

I want it because of Battle mode and for King Boo and Dry Bones. I never worried about stats.

Me neither, especially because I haven't played the original, so I basically just go with everything that has acceleration and good drifting.
 
I got 3 stars in 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and Mirror modes and started trying for 3 stars in 200cc. I got through the Mushroom Cup with relative ease. I had trouble in the Flower Cup, but I only had to restart twice (I think). I then went through the Star Cup painfully, having to restart 3 or 4 times. Then in the Special Cup, I agonizingly went though 5 or 6 tries, and gave up. I even switched out my combination for something with lower speed and higher acceleration, but to no avail. Rainbow Road was too much. But some day, I will unlock that Gold Mario.
 
Cheese Land is the most infuriating track for me to race on.

Rainbow Road Wii U does have two pretty brutal turns, the first left turn and the last turn before the finishing line are prime offenders.

Neo Bowser City is all right. Not hard and actually pretty fun for me to race on.
