Switch Online Addition - 8 Tracks added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pack (DLC) (final wave 6)

The final wave 6 will be available with 8 new courses & 4 new characters from 9th November.

The courses are included in the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass so if you are subscribed to that and own Mario Kart 8 you can play wave 3 from 9th November.

The other way to play the new courses is to purchase the pack separately which will entitle you to all of the courses as they are released and will be yours to keep.

Wave 6 adds new cups to the game in the Acorn Cup and the Spiny Cup, which together add eight more courses to the rotation. These courses come from Mario Kart games from the SNES, GameCube, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and the mobile-exclusive game, Mario Kart Tour. Here's what to expect in each:

Acorn Cup:

Rome Avanti (from Mario Kart Tour)
DK Mountain (from Mario Kart: Double Dash)
Daisy Circuit (from Mario Kart Wii)
Pirahna Plant Cove (new)

Spiny Cup:

Madrid Drive (from Mario Kart Tour)
Rosalina's Ice World (from Mario Kart 7)
Bowser Castle 3 (from Super Mario Kart)
Rainbow Road (from Mario Kart Wii)

Alongside these new courses, Wave 6 includes three new racers in Funky Kong, who debuted in Mario Kart Wii, and Pauline and Peachette from Mario Kart Tour. Elsewhere in Wave 6, players will receive 16 additional Mii Racing Suits, with a bonus Daisy Racing Suit unlockable by scanning any Daisy Amiibo. Plus, this final DLC adds a new Music Player feature to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which allows you to listen to music from each course.

    Important to reflect on the backstory and reality though. Release MK8 on Wii U 9 years ago, worse MK game for years, needs fixed. Update and fix major issues and release on next console Switch with endless updates. Many years later, still on same MK game. We shouldn't even be here. I mean 3 years later after release of a dreadful MK8 game could have been a new MK game to move on. Can stretch to 5 years to give some Covid consideration. Its not good enough. This is really now how MK should be.
