A new trailer for Wave 2 of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course was just released. The footage revealed all eight exciting courses being added to the game. The trailer also showed that fans can expect to begin racing on the new tracks next week. The original Mario Kart 8 premiered on the Wii U in 2014, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2017. Since then, the game has remained one of the most popular titles on the console. The Booster Course serves to provide fans with more enjoyment by bringing back older courses from the series.
The DLC was announced early in 2022 and is broken up into six waves. There are a total of 48 courses, with each wave containing eight tracks. Wave 1 of the Booster Course came out on March 18, 2022. The DLC will be released slowly over time until the end of 2023. This means that fans should not expect to see Mario Kart 9 at least for another year.
In wave two of the Booster Course , there will be the Turnip Cup and the Propeller Cup. The Turnip Cup includes New York Minute from Mario Kart Tour, Mario Circuit 3 from Super Mario Kart on the SNES, Kalimari Desert from the N64, and Waluigi Pinball from the DS. The Propeller Cup will feature Sydney Sprint from Mario Kart Tour, Snow Land from the GBA, Mushroom Gorge from Mario Kart Wii, and a brand new course, called Sky-High Sundae. With only 16 tracks revealed so far, there are many more exciting courses left that can be remastered. The eight tracks included in Mario Kart 8's Wave 2 DLC are:
- New York Minute
- Mario Circuit 3
- Kalimari Desert
- Waluigi Pinball
- Syndey Sprint
- Snow Land
- Mushroom Gorge
- Sky-High Sundae
Wave Two Of Mario Kart 8's Booster Course Releases In August
The second wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC is arriving on August 4, 2022. The Booster Course is basically MK9 because Nintendo Switch fans will get 48 additional courses, albeit mostly remastered tracks. This is the same amount as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already. Players can purchase the expansion pack for $24.99. Owners of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion will get access to all 48 courses included with their subscription. This service costs $50 for individuals, which is a $30 increase from the $20 price of the normal NSO. A family hip costs $80 and can be spread across 2-8 people. Along with the Booster Course Pack, fans will have access to a library of games from the Sega Genesis and N64. The service also includes the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC.
Despite fans wishing for a sequel, there has been little news about a new game in the Mario Kart series. The Booster Couse Pack is strategically spread out to keep players satisfied during Mario Kart 9's development. Now is the perfect time to hop back into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or enjoy the title for the first time. Fans can race with their favorite characters on the remastered courses, when wave two of the DLC releases on August 4, 2022.
