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.
