Share

Nintendo has announced that the next DLC courses for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are coming very soon. Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass, containing eight courses and a new DLC character, arrives March 9.

The new courses include Amsterdam Drift, Riverside Park, DK Summit, Yoshi’s Island, Bangkok Rush, Mario Circuit, Waluigi Stadium, and Singapore Speedway. These are all courses from past Mario Kart titles, except for Yoshi’s Island, which is a brand-new track. Players can race these tracks in the new Fruit Cup and Boomerang Cup. Wave 4 also adds a new character, Birdo, to the roster.

The Booster Course Pass costs $25 and includes 48 DLC courses in all. Alternatively, you can subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack ($50/year) to get the Booster Course Pass and a range of other benefits.

Three DLC waves, including 24 courses, have been released so far for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Including Wave 4, there are three more waves to come, doubling the course list from 24 to 48 before the DLC campaign wraps up. After that, fans may have to wait until Mario Kart 9 for more courses.

In other news, Nintendo just announced a new Switch bundle that includes your choice of a free Mario game. This “Choose One” bundle launches March 10–which is Mario Day–for $300.
