The first batch of DLC racing tracks forMario Kary 8 Deluxehave released today, March 18, and dataminers have already uncovered what appears to be a host of unannounced tracks — including another Rainbow Road — within the game files. Mario Kart 8's Booster Course Pass DLC was announced during the February Nintendo Direct, and will consist of a total of 48 remastered tracks released in waves.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the Nintendo Switch's best-selling game, but it's taken a while for the title to receive a significant new content update. The game is a repackaged and upgraded version of the Wii U's Mario Kart 8, and launched on Switch back in 2017. Nintendo may have been somewhat slow in releasing DLC for the kart racer, but the new Booster Course Pass should please longstanding fans of the franchise. The tracks included in the DLC pay homage to prior games in the series, with remastered versions of courses like Choco Mountain (Mario Kart 64), Toad Circuit (Mario Kart 7), and Sky Garden (Mario Kart: Super Circuit). Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's DLC is now available for purchase, but also comes included with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription service.
