Mario Kart 8DX+

Mario Kart 8DX+ (8 Deluxe Plus) is an Overhaul-Upgrade of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, meaning it's essentially Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version 10.0.0. Due to the success of the Booster Course Pass despite criticism of the Booster Course tracks having Mario Kart Tour graphics which ARE out of place, demand skyrocketed for more content along the way seeing there is no chance of a hypothetical Mario Kart 9. With that being said, MK8DX+ IS in fact the Overhaul-Upgrade of the game with additional content such as Revamped Roster of racers, returning karts from previous titles and 12 New 8DX+ exclusive tracks, and a new difficulty setting: Expert mode, where ALL the circular circuit tracks became 5 laps (Exceptions being Rainbow Road N64 which is 3 laps, the 7 lap Baby Park, and the Point A -> Point B tracks like Mount Wario and Big Blue).
New racers from Mario games and Crossover Nintendo franchises, as well as Third Party franchises are coming to the game as part of a Special Mario Kart invitation, as well as a Career mode where the racers fight to earn the Grandest Kart trophy of all time, which is a statue of themselves made of Diamond and Gold. With the success of the base game 8DX and its booster course pass, the 8DX+ Overhaul-Upgrade boosts the success to Double the amount, further distancing the gap away from Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate by sales. MK8DX+ also made a crossover with Nexon's hit racing game franchise: CrazyRacing KartRider, with the main characters Dao and Diz invited, which somehow caused controversy involving the Mr. Driller franchise for some reason, apparently.
= Racers =
There are 80 racers in the game. While many of them have Character Skills, some unfortunately have none. There are 2 Categories: Vanilla Drivers (Mario characters) and Extra Drivers (From other Nintendo Franchises and the selected few Third Parties just because Nintendo wanted to go crazy somehow)

= Free-Play Mode =
Free-Play Mode is a New game mode in the game, where you just drive around an open world map for a joyride, usually when bored from the races or to take a break. And facilitating this mode is one big map that is accessible both in Free Play mode and Career Mode: Crossroad Tours (See below).
== Open-World Map: Kart City ==
Kart City is the Freely Explorable Open World map in both Free Play Mode and Career Mode: Crossroad Tours. Learning from the Forza Horizon series and Test Drive Unlimited series, Nintendo presents the greatest Kart Racing Playground for the many worlds to see.
= Career Mode: Crossroad Tours =
Crossroad Tours is the story of Mario Kart 8DX+. In this story, Toadsworth hosts a Kart Racing event in Kart City and presents the winner a Statue made out of Diamond, Platinum and Gold. Unlike the standard modes, Career Mode has a set of different race tracks you don't normally find in any of the same race tracks in the Grand Prix, separating Standard Mode and Career Mode. Each race has 5 stars to complete: The first 3 are the usual Top-3 finishes, but the other 2 stars are SPECIFIC missions. The first 8 chapters can be used by ANY character for just one race, but the final chapter: Chapter 9 (Endless Possibilities) requires all characters to be used for Racer Mastery in order to get to the finals, racing against the multiverse's most NOTORIOUS racers to have ever existed.

* Sugar Rush Speedway (Series) and KartRider (Series) are the ONLY 2 3rd Party games to receive 3 Grand Prix Cups with each franchise having 15 tracks.
*The Final boss race is the Number One most difficult race in the game due to how fast Grande Toro Gigante, G.U.N. Military Super-Road Train and Demon Train are and almost impossible they are to overtake without using a Speedy type Kart, and you would be lucky if you have Speedy type racers (Like Sonic, Arle, Vanellope, Taffyta, Dao and Diz) AND Speedy type Karts.
*The crossover with KartRider causes Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Bowser to make an appearance in KartRider Rush+ and the Nintendo Switch release of KartRider Drift. Surprisingly, the Inklings and Octolings followed suit in a Splatoon 3 Splatfest where the theme is Mario Kart (Shiver), Sugar Rush Speedway (Frye) and KartRider (Big Man), with Sugar Rush Speedway being the winner of the Splatfest with KartRider being Second, with the results being that Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Inklings and Octolings showed up as Guest Racers in the Nintendo Switch version of Sugar Rush Speedway 8: Sweet Celebration and KartRider Drift, as well as KartRider Rush+ as a limited event.
*The Wangan Highway is a 1:1 Full Scale race track taking place on the Wangan Highway in Tokyo, Japan. It's the longest Namco track in the game and is essentially a Mario Kart Endurance Race due to being 3 laps long. The race starts at Haneda Airport, goes Eastbound to New Belt Line, goes Northbound to C1 Loop, goes Westbound to Yokohane and Yokohama, goes Southbound through Minato-Mirai, and goes Eastbound back on the Wangan Highway back to Haneda Airport where the Starting/Finish Line is at.
== Tropes ==
=== Knight Of Cerebus ===
Played straight with Amitie, which is fucking rare for this to be portrayed by a playable protagonist, let alone someone who is a cheerful ditz. Her portrayal in this game is DEAD SERIOUS, best shown to the change of tone and music when players choose her on the driver select screen. The gameplay with Amitie as the player driver is also drastically changed, such as using music tracks sounding similar to the NFS: Carbon In-Race soundtracks, and Amitie's only Power-Up is Nitrous. Her expressions are all Serious (Albeit Neutral), and se doesn't even do tricks. And when a Power-Up Item hits her, she is treated with a FATAL WRECK rather than being stunned and annoyed. To make things more interesting, she DOESN'T Talk, making her the Mario-Kart!Puyo-Puyo version of Teardrop which is quite a smart move by Nintendo to not expose her cheerful demeanor. Ironically, Ringo who is the Puyo Puyo version of Shadow the Hedgehog is NOT the one treated like this.
== Controversies ==
* Mario Kart 8DX+ is controversial with the announcement of completely overhauling Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and at first, fans were extremely skeptical. However when the upgrade was completed, the game became fresh as new, with additional characters, some being characters who were previously modded into the game just for fun. This controversy was pretty much over when overhaul was essentially complete, and with the new additions and roster clean-up (Such as transforming the Mario clones, Peach clones and the 4 other babies into Alternate costumes (Or alternate characters for Baby Mario)
* the race against Grande Toro Gigante, G.U.N. Military Truck and Demon Train is the most CONTROVERSIALLY IMPOSSIBLE Final boss race to defeat, and not only that, but Amitie is related to the Final Boss.
* Amitie's inclusion left game fans in UTTER SHOCK AND DISBELIEF because in the trailers, only Arle and Ringo were shown. It's also IRONICALLY convenient that Amitie finally showing up AT THE FINAL BOSS RACE, which was the INFAMOUS race against Grande Toro Gigante, G.U.N. Military Truck and Demon Train, the race that NONE of the other characters, NOT EVEN the Top 5 overpowered racers: Funky Kong, Sonic, Arle, Vanellope and Taffyta are able to defeat him. And the most INFURIATING PART IS, that you had to attempt the final boss race with ALL THE 79 PLAYABLE CHARACTERS (Plus ALTERNATES) and STILL LOSE, but this is where the controversy gets more interesting. Turns out Amitie's Last Minute inclusion was set up by Nintendo as an apology for the EXTREMELY horrendous flanderiziation of Amitie in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (As Amitie was too cheerful in Smash Bros, as in, her personality regressed into her early Puyo Puyo Fever personality, angering fans who have long accepted her Character Growth in the recent Puyo Puyo titles (Such as being far more aggressive and intelligent, a far roar than the cheerful ditzy blonde she first debuted)
