Mario Kart 8 DLC Wave 5 Adds Petey Piranha, Kamek, And Wiggler This Summer
Mario Kart 8 is getting more tracks soon, as revealed in the June Nintendo Direct. This new Wave will include eight new tracks and three new characters.
Revealed during the Nintendo Direct, Wave 5 of the Mario Kart 8 DLC Booster Pack is coming later this summer, adding three new characters and a brand new track. The three new characters are Petey Piranha, Wiggler, and Kamek, all of whom have been playable in a previous Mario Kart title, are being added to the roster. Based on the remaining number of question marks on the character select screen, Nintendo is saving two more characters for the final DLC wave.
While Nintendo didn't reveal all of the tracks being added in Wave 5, it did reveal a new original track called Squeaky Clean Sprint, which sees racers zoom around an oversized bathroom track. This track is similar to the Yoshi's Island track released in the previous wave in that it is a completely original track for Mario Kart 8 and not just a remake of a classic map. No exact date was given for Wave 5, but Nintendo said it's coming this summer, so you can expect it relatively soon.
