Amazing! I love the new track and music. I love Yoshi’s island. This is a pretty cool track.

Yoshi’s Island on SNES was my first game as a kid so this was a VERY pleasant surprise.

The original Yoshi’s Island is one of my favorite games and this looks awesome. Love the red track appearing when you hit the ? cloud with the old sound effect for the red platform appearing.

I thought it was four tracks per wave??? One track this wave?

God I wish they would go back and put as much effort and creativity into more updates for Animal Crossing New Horizons as they have with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
For some reason they left this out of the NA Direct, but other regions confirmed Wave 4 has 1 character (Birdo).

Does it really rub no one the wrong way that they are releasing DLC for a 9 year old game mario kart game? A new title is long overdue.

Missed opportunity not adding Kamek in WITH the Yoshi’s Island track.

Yasss!! Birdo was my main in Mario Kart Wii so this makes me ecstatic! It was honestly weird having tracks like Royal Raceway and Sidney Sprint with references to her, but no playable Birdo. Her coming with all the Tour color variants is super cool too!
This most probably means we’re getting more characters too, it would be weird for them to just add Birdo and be done with it and also the CS screen would look all weird with a character just hanging by herself. I believe like most people we’re getting 6 characters in total (Birdo, Diddy, Funky and Petey Piranha from older games, and Pauline and Kamek/Nabbit as newcomers). I wish we got most of the Tour newcomers (Dixie, King Bob-Omb, Monty Mole, Hammer Bro…) buuut I don’t think it’ll happen.
And finally that Yoshi’s Island track is definitely going to be top tier, it looks INCREDIBLE! Wave 4 is going to be the best so far (cuz it’s also gonna have Daisy’s Cruiser so that makes it top tier).

Birdo is actually tuff.

All we need is Paulina, and we have the girl power we need.

Are they going to be milking Mario Kart 8 until the next Nintendo console is out?

Characters confirmed, as suspected.
There’s a certain post of mine I feel I need to update now.
Characters are happening now? [Bring him back, Nintendo!](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/444/456/976.jpg_large)
