With many hoping that a new entry in the Mario Kart series would be on the cards, it seems Nintendo are not ready to put Mario Kart 8 Deluxe behind them yet. The Nintendo Direct for February 2022 treated viewers with the announcement of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass. It is DLC that includes 48 tracks from the Mario Kart series and will be distributed through six waves of eight courses over the course of the next two years (until 2023).
The Booster Course Pass will cost players $24.99 but those who have the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will receive the contend for free providing they maintain an active subscription. The first wave will be available to download on March 18th.
As well as a new trailer that highlights some of the new circuits that will be available in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pack, some new screenshots we shared as well. We have rounded them up and put them into a gallery so you can view them at your own leisure. Just click on any image below to enlarge it.
