A new DLC is coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe this December 7 and it’s going to make racing even more exciting. That’s because the Booster Course Pass Wave 3 will add eight new courses to the game. With this, 24 of the 48 courses in the Booster Course Pass can now be played.
There’s a lot to look forward to in Wave 3. There are the frolicking fields of DS Peach Gardens, for example. Players can also enjoy the frosty merriment that is Merry Mountain, with its seasonal sights and sounds that everyone can take in while cruising around frigid peaks and towering pines of the track.
Wave 3 is also set to feature the Rock Cup and Moon Cup and players can expect to see classic courses that appeared from the Mario Kart series across Wii, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Mario Kart Tour games. Each course can be played locally or online. The Cups are divided into:
