** Some of the new courses include Wario's Mine, F-Zero, Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing courses, and an ''[[VideoGame/{{Excite}} Excite Bike]]'' course.
*** Hey look, Yoshi's Circuit returns as a track!
*** That Excite Bike course doesn't look very interesting, it doesn't even feature anti-gravity... What? The ramp and speed boost placements change every time you load the course? Intriguing...

** Mega Man, Sonic, and Pac-Man have racing suits in the second round of amiibo support. Mega Man's suit in particular got much rejoicing, as it shows Nintendo still cares about him.

Added DiffLines:

* In general, most of the earlier classic courses present in the game originated in either ''VideoGame/SuperMarioKart'' or ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'', with the only classic courses not from either game already being present in ''7'' or ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'', resulting in many people bemoaning a lack of variety in the courses featured. As such, the inclusion of courses not present in those games, such as [[VideoGame/MarioKartSuperCircuit Riverside Park, Cheep-Cheep Island, Sunset Wilds]], [[VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash DK Mountain]], [[VideoGame/MarioKartDS Peach Gardens]], [[VideoGame/MarioKartWii DK Summit, and Rainbow Road]] usually happens to lots of fanfare from the playerbase.

* An UpdatedRerelease known as ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' has been announced for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. Alright, what's it got besides all the DLC? WHOA, they fixed the Battle Mode so that it's more like how it used to be? SNES Battle Course 1 and GCN Luigi’s Mansion return as Battle Courses? [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld The Cape Feather]] and Boo are back as items?! King Boo, Bowser Jr. and Dry Bones are playable characters?! How do you top all that? By throwing in '''THE [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} INKLINGS AND]] [[VideoGame/Splatoon2 URCHIN UNDERPASS]], THAT'S HOW!''' That said, [[BonusFeatureFailure Gold Mario]] being the only unlockable character wasn't as well-received.
