More playable characters are added to the roster: [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Dry Bones]], [[King Boo]], [[Gold Mario]], and [[Birdo]], who return from previous games, as well as the girl and boy [[Inkling]]s from ''[[inkipedia:Splatoon|Splatoon]]''. Other additional content includes new racing suits for Miis unlocked via amiibo, a simpler steering option, and additional kart parts for customization. New courses are being added as part of [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC expansion pack.
