It would've been really cool if, on the Hyrule Circuit track, they replaced the Pirahna Plant item with a Deku Baba. But that might have been a bit too much to do....

So how does the DLC work online? Are you always paired with people who don't have it if you don't have it?

You make a selection. At the bottom of the online screen, there's an option with the '+' sign. Pressing the '+' sign let you select if you want to play online in 32 or 40 tracks mode.

Didn't they actually do that?

No. Coins change to Rupees and Deku Babas replace Piranha Plants as obstacles but the Piranha Plant item stays a Piranha Plant.

I notice the Bullet Bill item shows up more often than before online or is it just me?

Ah yes, I wasn't reading "item"...

I may be a little late to the party, but I just wanted to know what tracks that have already been remade in previous installments would you want to see remade again? For me, both Waluigi Pinball and Airship Fortress from MKDS (Both remade in 7) and DK Jungle Parkway from MK64 (Remade in Wii).

Personally, based on the DLC1, I would say none. I think the most fun courses in the DLC1 are the ones that aren't remakes.

I'm pretty sure there will be a couple of retro tracks. I love Waluigi Pinball, so I wouldn't mind it coming back.

I'd hope none (all unused retro courses) but as that's an unrealistic hope, Wii Mushroom Gorge and GBA Bowser Castle 3.

Any retro course has a chance of returning, not just ones that have already been remade. Look at Wario's Gold Mine.
I personally don't mind what retro courses will be in the 2nd DLC pack, as long as Waluigi Pinball isn't one of them, I find that one rather overrated. Every other track is fair game for me. SNES Bowser Castle would be nice if not for the music remix potential.

The first Ice Ice Outpost shortcut is glitched, view at 15 seconds in with 0.25 speed. You can clearly see I made it but fell through the ice.

So, my friends and I checked out the DLC on Saturday, and triple starred everything by Sunday. Fun times were had. I was not a big fan of the harsh turns of the Yoshi course and Ice Ice Outpost, or the everything of the Hyrule course (could never win on that one). Buuut, Mute City could be a contender for my favorite course in any Mario Kart. It was a nice, faithful recreation and was a ton of fun to play on, particularly the beginning boosters.

I saw you land on the second portion and then your back wheel slid off the side. Yeah, your front wheel clipped through the ice, but this doesn't look like a big glitch. just a minor clipping issue. Now let's talk about that awful camera angle!

Yeah, changing the camera angle is a feature I wish was on MKTV. As I doubt it'll be updated, hopefully if there's an equivalent to MKTV in Smash that there ends up being much more freedom with videos.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I also noticed with the Version 3.0 update that the VR point system has been adjusted again. It doesn't seem punish you as severely for doing poorly in a race now. It's sort of a partial revert to the original system before the 2.0 update happened.
