Welcome to Mario Kart! Population: Growing! It certainly has, as Animal Crossing becomes the next series to cross over into the world of kart racing. Nintendo have once again shown their passion, as these new characters, karts, and tracks have once again amazed.
Joining the action are the Villager (both male and female!), Isabelle, and the terrifying Dry Bowser. Animal Crossing’s representatives are some of the cutest characters with the particle effect expressions they make while performing tricks. Isabelle, for example, has heart and musical note effects. It’s hard to hate on that.

"With Mario Kart 8’s first pair of downloadable add-ons now available, Nintendo has set a benchmark for what DLC should achieve. It allows the developers to keep the game alive, without costing players too much, or making them feel that this content was held back from the game’s initial launch."
rustyshell.com: It might look fantastic, but the Mario Kart 8 version of Baby Park is missing the ridiculousness that made the original track so great.

Last week, Nintendo released a new DLC pack for Mario Kart 8, finally giving the latest game in the series the title of the most content-packed Mario Kart in history. In this new pack we welcome back some old characters and courses while also finding an equal amount of new content including intruders from Animal Crossing, Villager and Isabelle, and another F-Zero tribute. Dry Bowser, who previously appeared in Mario Kart Wii as the most difficult to obtain racer, is now back in the game and much easier to obtain. So fasten your seatbelts, fire up your Wii U and break out your copy of Mario Kart 8 because it’s time for another lap.
