Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launched on Nintendo Switch in April 2017, just one month after the console’s release. After establishing itself as a system-selling sales behemoth, Nintendo began supporting the title with a wave of DLC, dubbed the Booster Course Pass. After years of updates, each of which expanded the game’s track and character rosters, the final DLC will mark the end of an era for the game.
Wave 6 sends the game off with a bang. It brings the new Acorn and Spiny Cups, both of which contain four new tracks each. The list of returning courses includes fan favorites like DK Mountain from Mario Kart: Double Dash and the Wii’s Daisy Circuit. Most exciting is that it brings Mario Kart Wii’s version of Rainbow Road, a long-requested track that many fans consider the best variant of the course. Here’s the full list of tracks coming with Wave 6.
Acorn Cup
- Tour Rome Avanti (Mario Kart Tour)
- DK Mountain (Mario Kart: Double Dash)
- Daisy Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)
- Piranha Plant Cove (Mario Kart Tour)
Spiny Cup
- Tour Madrid Drive (Mario Kart Tour)
- Rosalina’s Ice World (Mario Kart 7)
- Bowser Castle 3 (Super Mario Kart)
- Rainbow Road (Mario Kart Wii)
In addition to the eight courses, Wave 6 also brings Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Peachette, and Paulina as new racers. The update adds 16 new Mii suits as well, including a Daisy racing suit that can be obtained by scanning a Daisy amiibo.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 6 launches on November 9. The full suite of DLCs can be purchased for $25 or accessed for no extra charge with a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
