A quick, but important note for our weekly listeners: in this episode, we mentioned our hopes to return to weekly episodes, but since recording this episode we have learned of circumstances with our production team that will reduce the number of episodes we can produce. It's likely that the show will take a brief hiatus of 4-5 weeks until when and if these issues are resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to resume the show as soon as we are able!

As life races by at the speed of a Blue Shell, it's important that we all take the time to enjoy some good old-fashioned vroomin' from time to time. Fortunately, in this week's episode of Nintendo Everything Refresh we finally get to take a deeper look at the next round of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, which is bringing back some classic tracks that have at least one of us unreasonably excited. Nick and rising co-host Dawn will also discuss what the heck is going on with Pokemon Sleep, nerd out about the newest Sakurai deep-dive on Kid Icarus Uprising's development, and much more!
