Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 2 DLC comes out next week

It’s been a while since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe got some new tracks, but that’s about to change. If you own the Booster Course Pass, that is. 

On Thursday, Nintendo announced that the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 2 DLC will be available on Aug. 4, 2022. Two new cups are part of Wave 2, containing four tracks each. Most of which are re-releases from classic titles like Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart Tour, and more. We’ll list all eight tracks below.

Turnip Cup

  • Tour New York Minute 
  • SNES Mario Circuit 3 
  • N64 Kalimari Desert 
  • DS Waluigi Pinball 

Propeller Cup

  • Tour Sydney Sprint 
  • GBA Snow Land 
  • Wii Mushroom Gorge 
  • Sky-High Sundae

The only brand-new track is Sky-High Sundae. It looks pretty delicious in the Wave 2 DLC trailer, which you can check out below.

There’s also a high-quality YouTube mirror available here. Have to say, seeing Mushroom Gorge again is giving me nightmarish blue shell flashbacks.

Earlier this year, Nintendo made the announcement that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would receive 48 new courses. The first eight came out in March 2022, while we’re only just getting the second wave next week.

Remember, accessing all these means you’ll have to buy the Booster Course Pass, which costs $25 on the eShop. However, anyone with a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription gets all of the DLC automatically.
