The fact that they’re adding Birdo back is something I never would’ve expected. Everyone was saying they’re only gonna focus on tracks but here we are.
The only ones missing from Mario Kart Wii are Diddy Kong and Funky Kong now.

Is funny how front and center they are making this Yoshis Island course

I’m so happy to see Birdo! Not necessarily for the character herself, but because it opens up the opportunity for more characters in the Booster Course Pass. Fingers crossed for Funky Kong or Dixie Kong!

Can’t wait to see what is in the Wave 4 DLC.

the Yoshi’s Island track for Mario Kart 8D, the game that was released in 2014 and re-released on the Switch, was the best news to come out of this 40 minute direct. We really have gotten so much worse over time (outside of the obviously incoming “but wait” BOTW moment)

Wait there are completely new courses? I thought they were all going to be remakes from older games

The moment the Yoshi Island theme started playing I went crazy. This track looks beautiful and Birdo being added gives me hope for at least two more new characters (Kamek or King Bob-Omb, please).

Just one character? And one stage?

I wonder what the character screen will look like. Where will Birdo go?

the entire MK8D DLC situation is beyond baffling to me
wait 4+ years to announce DLC to an enhanced port of an 8+ year old game and continue to innovate with increasingly interesting and substantial content each subsequent wave. Especially odd considering how especially lucrative and evergreen the title has been on the system over the console’s entire life

It was always bizarre that Birdo wasn’t in in the first place. Glad it’s fixed after years. Diddy Kong next?
JumboMcNasty
ok you added a character now add a battle track or 3 please
Boomshockalocka007
New characters!? Wow. So hyped!
QueenMichaela
This being the only good news from the Direct 😭 I do wonder though, there must be more characters coming because only adding 1 would totally mess up the perfect 7×6 character select screen they currently have. Hoping for Pauline and Dixie to make their console debut!! 🤞

I remember seeing they were adding a new Toir track but this seems like a whole new different track!

I couldn’t care less if they never released another MK game. Keep these new courses coming and I’ll never stop buying them. This is the greatest racing game ever made.

Birdo’s back? I thought the pass was just tracks. Not that I’m whining about more content, though. Besides Diddy, DK jr, Funky, Petey Piranha, Queen Bee, and Wiggler, who else is missing to have the complete roster of all 8 MKs in one game?

Nice character addition and on top of that Nintendo confirmed that Birdo will not be the only character added to the wave.
They never mentioned nothing about QoL or characters besides the courses so these extra addictions are really welcoming.

Pretty cool! Wish this was coming sooner but at least we got a timeframe.

Would be sweet if they added some new karts since everyone just uses the same ones online
