Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been revealed as the most stressful game ever. On average it raises the player's heart rate by 32%!

I have this game with all DLCs and me and the wife have a lot of fun with it. Anyone else play?

I do not play it often by myself but I regularly play it when I'm with friends. With the DLCs too :)
Though personally I'm a little more of a Mario Party guy.

Mind you or me sharing your friend code?

Yay! What's your favourite course/kart/character combination? :happy:

Tbh I don't play the game online at all, just me and my wife play together against AI every so often.

I can't really pick a favourite track. I like some better than others but I do not have blatant favourites.

I don't have a particular favourite kart setup when racing with friends, usually I randomize it a little as I keep beating them no matter what XD
When racing seriously (Grand Prix mode), I tend to focus more on Acceleration and Grip.

As for characters... commonly I go with Yoshi or Dry Bones.

Same here with tracks. The only one I don't like is the Highway one in the original game.

My favourite character is Waluigi in a standard kart, but I change from time to time. My wife never changes her character or kart and it and winds me up :mrgreen:

Best track for me is the revamped Yoshi Valley. Great track with multiple routes. Only thing that marks it down for me is that the original on the N64 masked the running order by putting question marks on the leaderboard and hiding your position. The new version doesn't do that, which means it loses an edge of tension it used to have!
