MK8 Deluxe Purple Drift Boost ?
03/11/17 at 07:07:25

In a very recent youtube video showing an overview of MK8 Deluxe, there is a very short clip of Waluigi doing a drift and having the orange sparks turn into purple ones.
To me this suggests they could be adding a THIRD drift boost for even more speed.
The race is set to 200cc but I don't see why this third drift boost would be secluded to the fastest game mode.
If this is true, MK8 Deluxe will need separate charts for sure. Personally I thought they always needed this. Would make me consider buying the game..

Check it out and tell me what you think.

I'd definitely advocate for separate charts if this is in 150cc as well. Or even if it is a bike-only thing. There will be other differences between the games as well, such as new karts.

I'm feeling more like this game is an altered version of the original rather than a port with added features. Reminds me of Super Mario World on the SNES versus the GBA "port", which had several important differences in gameplay. No speedrun site would consider speedruns on those two games to be comparable.

I already have separate charts working on the new Players' Page, which I'm working on still. I'm hoping to complete it for the launch of Deluxe. Then, we can see from there if things need to be altered with the PP.

It's far too easy to forget what it's like to be a kid. But one secret to happiness is to be able to pick out links to our childhood in the mundanities of adult life. That's why I love Mario Kart. Whether I'm imagining wading through frosting in Sweet Sweet Canyon to take a bite of that giant donut, or picturing myself, shrunken down, making my way through Waluigi's pinball machine, there's something rejuvenating about the game that provides a nice reminiscence of the halcyon days gone by.

While this is an intriguing addition, I can't really think of too many situations where you would be able to pull off such a mini-turbo and getting the full benefit of it.
However we could also see other minor changes that will affect the gameplay and which vehicles end up becoming the best. After all vehicle stats may have already been modified!
This is the kind of element that grabs my attention at least, as someone who wasn't keen on buying this version.

Same. The game was a definite NO buy from me until I saw this. If all the vehicle stats are changed, controller advantages are taken out, a triple drift boost added, and a 200c TT is added, then I feel like I need to buy this game for sure.
Really wanted to put off buying the Switch until at least Super Mario Odyssey came out though.

Also I hope that the extra drift boost is not exclusive to bikes as Jazzy said.

Honestly, bikes kind of deserved to have a bone thrown their way, as they were useless in TTs and hardly used online. Nonetheless I'd rather they buff them by improving their stats rather than giving them an exclusive mechanic (we all know what happened with MKW Tongue

).

"The game also introduces "Smart Steering" and "Auto-accelerate" for beginners, the former makes driving and staying on the track easier, the latter makes the vehicle automatically accelerate.[6][7] The statistics of the parts and drivers have also been changed,[7] Time Trials in the 200cc engine class have been added[8] and there is also a 3rd level of Mini-Turbo, denoted by purple sparks that appear after the orange sparks.[9]"

"200cc returns as the fastest engine class in Mario Kart 8: Deluxe. Originally, this mode was dominated by expert racers. However, they have made one slight change in the 200cc Mode which is the ability to break while drifting. Being able to slow down will add more control and precision for the users during the high speed race. Also, you will be able to do Time Trial in the 200cc Mode, helping you become a master of the track!"
