Mario Circuit from Mario Kart DS is perhaps the least exciting addition, as it’s very similar to other courses from the series that are based around Peach’s Castle. The Boomerang Cup starts with Bangkok Rush, which is another fun city romp, starting with you jumping over river boats and then dashing into a hotel multi-storey carpark before jumping down onto a sea of market stalls whose rooftops work like trampolines. There’s lots of other neat details too, including unique coins for just this course and a fantastic new music track.

From March 22nd, courses from wave 1 will also appear in the Random selection when playing Global or Regional races with anyone online.The course isn’t just fan service though as it uses some of the unique elements of the game to create unusual features such as a floating ? cloud which is tricky to hit when you’re in the air, but which manifests a special track if you do, that then gives you the chance to jump through the flower ring that always ended levels in the original game.
