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.

Between the announcements of Hades II, a Bayonetta prequel, a new Hellboy game and more, The Game Awards 2022 was filled with surprise reveals for the Switch! In this special episode of Nintendo Everything Refresh, join your hosts Nick, Nicolas and Dennis as they discuss the show in detail – not just the game reveals, but of course the awards themselves too! They’ll also break down other big news from last week, including Call of Duty’s return to Nintendo platforms.

Dragon Quest Monsters new game

Dragon Quest Treasures producer Taichi Inuzuka spoke to Japanese magazine Famitsu in this week’s issue about the origins of the game as well as the future of the Dragon Quest Monsters series.

Inuzuka described the new title as a “reboot” of sorts after feeling that Square Enix “put in everything we could think of” for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional. The team became interested in the concept of using an open-world and went from there. Some fans will be happy to hear assurance from Inuzuka that Dragon Quest Treasures doesn’t mean the Dragon Quest Monsters series is over.

The Game Awards 2022 are officially in the books, and we want to know what you thought about the show.
