Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

This welcome update of Nintendo’s peerless arcade racer fixes its one major problem, with five battle modes and eight new arenas replacing the original’s awkwardly repurposed circuits. From the exhilarating Shine Thief to the cops-and-robbers pursuits of new mode Renegade Roundup, it’s a consistent joy, with blisteringly fast 200cc time trials adding value for solo drivers.
