The biggest miss from 2014's amazing Mario Kart 8 on Wii U was its low-effort take on battle mode. Instead of the tightly designed battle arenas from the now classic Mario Kart games, Nintendo opted to recycle the standard circuit tracks and basically just added three balloons. The result was one of the weakest battle modes in series history.
While it's mostly a redo of the Wii U game's tracks and races, with some extra characters and vehicles like Bowser Jr. and Splatoon's Inklings, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch sets out to provide the Battle Mode experience we all wanted in the first time around.
For starters, all eight battle mode stages are either custom-designed for the Switch version or updates of returning favorites from prior Mario Kart games with some neat changes. Fans with fond memories of Super Mario Kart will be happy to see Battle Course 1 return, complete with the color-coded guard rails, but Nintendo wisely updated the layout to include some new tricks: You can now drive on top of the dividers for a quick escape from turtle shells and the edges are lined with ramps, three of which feature Boost Pads that launch players into the center area.
