Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 4 Out Today, New Characters On The Way -

The Booster Course Pass Wave 4 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is out today and brings with it two new cups with eight new tracks, a new character in the form of Birdo (and 9 colour variants) and a number of small fixes as well. That isn’t all though as the character select screen now has five new spaces for more characters to be added at a later date. This isn’t speculation either as Nintendo themselves have now confirmed that more characters will indeed be added in the future.

You can find out about what exactly is included in Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass in the official press release from Nintendo below. We also have gameplay of the new cups and circuits on Grand Prix 150 cc which can be seen in the embedded video.
