Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently received its latest wave of DLC from the Booster Course Pass, so now’s a great time to think about the best character and kart builds for those looking to get into the nitty gritty of things.
If you’ve played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online, you’ve likely come across a lot of players using Waluigi with the Wild Wiggler, Rollers, and Paper Glider. Although part of the reason for this might be the humorous contrast of watching Waluigi ride on a caterpillar, the main factor behind this build’s ubiquity is that it is one of the most optimal character and kart combinations in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This naturally leads into the question of why this build is so good, and if there are other builds in the game that might be able to compete with it. This guide will aim to answer both of those questions, first by explaining some of the hidden mechanics that make certain builds more viable than others, and then by providing examples of some of the more competitive builds Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has to offer.
Akupara Games and Henry’s House have prepared a launch trailer for Kardboard Kings. Last week, the store management sim saw its Switch debut.
