Mario Kart 8’s new Birdo and Yoshi’s Island DLC arrive next week
The next wave of courses — and a new character — coming to Mario Kart8 Deluxe will hit Nintendo Switch on March 9, Nintendo announced Thursday. (That’s Mario Day Eve, by the way.) Wave 4 of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass DLC will include a brand-new course, Yoshi’s Island, and a returning character, Birdo.
Nintendo also announced the rest of the courses coming in Booster Course Pass wave 4, which include remastered tracks from Mario Kart games Super Circuit, Double Dash!!, Tour, and more. Here’s the full list of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass wave 4 DLC, with descriptions from Nintendo.
As Nintendo previously announced, Birdo is just the first of multiple new racers coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. No hints just yet about who’s next.
The previous wave of courses dropped in December, bringing classic Mario Kart tracks like Maple Treeway from Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7’s Rainbow Road to the Switch game. Two more waves of DLC are planned.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass costs $24.99 and can be purchased from the Nintendo eShop. The pass also comes included in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack which costs $49.99 a year for an individual, or $79.99 a year for a family plan.
