Start your engines, because Nintendo is rolling out more Mario Kart 8 Deluxe content in time for Christmas. The 48-track Booster Course Pass unleashes Wave 3 in December, adding eight new courses to the game’s lineup. These include a number of favorites, including Maple Treeway from Mario Kart Wii and the version of Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 7.
Unfortunately, what the upcoming Booster Course Pack update won't have are any all-new tracks. The first two waves included one original course each – Ninja Hideaway in Wave 1 and Sky-High Sundae in Wave 2. The lack of any new tracks is disappointing, but again, the selection of classics is pretty solid, and it seems like the visuals may have been upgraded a bit following criticism of the first two waves. But hey, enough of my preamble! Check out the new course for yourself, below.
I know Mario Kart 8 is older than old at this point, but man, the latest courses still look fun! Here are some official descriptions of the upcoming tracks…
