15 more racetracks for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have been identified thanks to leaked music snippets that are barely a second long.
Even though we just got the second wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, fans are eager to know which racetracks from previous Mario Kart games are coming in future updates. Annoyingly for Nintendo, they might just have figured most of them out.
As per usual, this is thanks to dataminers, who dived into the latest update and found multiple files containing pieces of music from racetracks that have yet to be added. Well, sort of.
The files don’t contain the music themselves but short previews, also known as prefetch files. These prefetch files contain a very short snippet of the music that can be played in advance as the full music track loads.
Even though the files are unnamed, and each piece of music lasts barely a second, die-hard Nintendo fans have been able to narrow down which tracks are associated with those pieces of music.
There are 32 racetracks to be added in future waves (four tracks across eight cups) and at least 15 of them have now been identified. Unsurprisingly, about half of them are from the Mario Kart Tour mobile game, with Nintendo clearly eager to get more people to play it (don’t, it’s awful).
That said, two of the music previews are each associated with two different racetracks so they’re harder to pin down. The first is played on both Boo Lake and Broken Pier from Mario Kart: Super Circuit on the Game Boy Advance, while the second is shared across Waluigi Stadium and Wario Colosseum in the GameCube’s Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The remaining 13 are:
