Next week will bring the sixth, and final, Booster Course wave to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, adding more tracks and racers to the roster.
The Booster Course DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch has been amazing. It’s pretty much an entirely new game, and next week (November 9th)will bring about the final wave of new tracks/racers for players to enjoy. This brings the total bonus tracks to 48, doubling the initial size of the game!
This final wave will bring revamped tracks from the SNES, GameCube, 3DS, and even Mario Kart Tour titles:
Acorn Cup
o Tour Rome Avanti – Ciao! Zip around the Eternal City and navigate historic landmarks as you dash beneath the moonlight in this city course from Mario Kart Tour.
o GCN DK Mountain – There’s a rumble in the jungle! Keep your cool as you wind up and down a volcano, dodge falling boulders and speed over swaying bridges in this wild raceway.
o Wii Daisy Circuit – Take the scenic route through a seaside resort at sunset and loop around Princess Daisy and Luigi fountains in this idyllic course originating from Mario Kart Wii, but don’t stop to smell the flowers for too long!
o Piranha Plant Cove – Ride among the reefs and ruins as you discover what lies beneath the waves in an underwater race filled with twists, turns, Thwomps and other obstacles!
Spiny Cup
o Tour Madrid Drive – Take to the streets of Spain in this lively city course inspired by Madrid. Hit the gas but watch out for any pesky soccer balls on the field that may come between you and your goal!
o 3DS Rosalina’s Ice World – Bundle up for an icy excursion and try not to slip up as you weave through icicles, snowy caves and frigid waters in a course that draws inspiration from the Super Mario Galaxy™ game!
o SNES Bowser Castle 3 – Want to prove who really rules the road? Crank up the heat as you drive, drift and glide over pools of lava in Bowser’s signature castle from the Super Mario Kart game.
o Wii Rainbow Road – Race through space and soar among the stars on a twisty, prismatic path. This colorful and dynamic course is known for removing the guardrails, so make sure you stay on track!
Plus, more familiar faces will be added to the roster of racers! The peanut-popping powerhouse Diddy Kong, who made his karting debut in the Mario Kart: Double Dash™!! game, and the bodacious Funky Kong, from the Mario Kart Wii game, are here and ready to peel off from the pack and take first place! But that’s not all – Pauline and Peachette are also heading up to the starting line to reprise their racing roles from the Mario Kart Tour game!
The final Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Wave arrives on November 9, 2023 as part of the Booster Course Pass (on the eShop), or included with a paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.
