The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass is a DLC expansion pack for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, announced during a Nintendo Direct held on February 9, 2022. The pack includes 12 additional cups, for a total of 48 additional courses (bringing the total number of courses to 96), most of which are remastered versions of courses from other Mario Kart games, including Mario Kart Tour. The courses are based on their designs from Mario Kart Tour, with the exceptions of DS Shroom Ridge and GBA Snow Land, which are currently absent from said game. However, the courses have received visual improvements and new music arrangements compared to Mario Kart Tour. The pack marks the longest gap between the original release of a Mario game and the release of its DLC, releasing nearly five years after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe did. The pack also makes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe the first Mario Kart game to feature classic courses from games following the original game's release, with Mario Kart Tour and its reappearing courses debuting after 8 Deluxe was initially released.

The pack is set to be released in six waves by the end of 2023. It can be purchased on its own, but is also included in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.[1] The first wave of the DLC was made available to pre-load on March 15, 2022, and was released on March 18, 2022. The second wave was released on August 4, 2022. If the player has purchased the Booster Course Pass or currently has a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, a small icon of a Super Star can be seen next to the version number on the game's title screen.

Courses

Each of the six waves features two cups, each with four courses, for eight courses per wave.[1] As of the second wave, there is one course each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 7, two courses each from Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart DS, and Mario Kart Wii, five courses from Mario Kart Tour, no courses from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and one brand new course. Excluding the Tour courses, DS Shroom Ridge and GBA Snow Land are currently the only courses in the Booster Course Pass that have not previously appeared as classic courses, while Sky-High Sundae is currently the only course to make its series debut in the pass.

Trivia

A leak for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass, featuring several unreleased courses, including T variants.
The datamined image
  • The pass was once erroneously referred to as the "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pack" on the official North American webpage.[13] This error has since been corrected.
  • The courses shown in the key artwork use official screenshots and in-game course icons from Mario Kart Tour. Some screenshots of the courses show Paris Promenade and Paris Promenade 3 with barrier fences from that game. The artwork also features an official screenshot of the ninja Shy Guys in Ninja Hideaway, which originated from the Ninja Tour's in-game preview.
    • An alternate version of this key artwork has been discovered via datamine and shows several currently unreleased courses. This banner also uses official screenshots and in-game course thumbnails from Mario Kart Tour, including thumbnails for T and R/T variants. Several tracks included in Wave 2 appear in this banner, including Tour New York Minute and Sky-High Sundae, though the SNES Mario Circuit art used within it is not that of SNES Mario Circuit 3.
    • Some promotional material for Wave 1, primarily the infographic showing all the courses in the wave, also used Tour screenshots. However, Wave 2 used in-game screenshots from 8 Deluxe for every course in both waves.
    • Another datamine for the game reveals prefixes for upcoming courses. The courses without prefixes are likely either new courses or courses from Mario Kart Tour that are not based on real locations.[14]
  • Upon the release of Wave 2, the course icons for the Wave 1 courses were adjusted to be slightly brighter than when they first came out. Additionally, the final car section in Wii Coconut Mall was slightly adjusted, making the cars move sporadically in random directions.
  • The generic course icons used in place of future waves of the DLC also become mirrored like the normal course icons when playing in Mirror Mode.
