- After several years on the market, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe received a Booster Course Pass expansion comprised of waves of content.
- Players who own Mario Kart 8 Deluxe can purchase the Booster Course Pass or receive access through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service.
- The second wave of content releases on August 4, 2022.
Mario Kart 8 initially released on the Nintendo Wii U, with two DLC packs available for purchase. After the release of the Nintendo Switch, the game received a port in the form of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which featured all the DLC from the Wii U version as well as an updated battle mode.
Players would agree that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the definitive way to play the game, but few expected an entire Booster Course Pass expansion to be announced for the beloved racing game.
With six waves of content planned featuring eight courses each, the Booster Course Pass will double the game's content, making it a worthy buy for Mario Kart fans. Nintendo recently announced in a tweet that the second wave of content was on the way, with the Turnip and Propeller Cups.
