Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update Includes a Brand New Track

When Nintendo announced the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, the company stated the pass would focus on remasters of courses from old games. However, Wave 2 of the pack contains a delicious twist to the Pass’s formula: an entirely new course.

Today, Nintendo shared a trailer for Wave 2, which is slated to release on August 4. Fans were quick to notice the track Sky-High Sundae, an entirely new addition to the Mario Kart franchise. The ice cream-themed track will be the first original course to be added to the Booster Course Pass.

The pack also brings back a few fan favorites, including Waluigi Pinball and Mushroom Gorge, through the Turnip Cup and Propellor Cup. Here’s the full list of what Wave 2 will bring to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:

Sky High Sundae
Kalimari Desert (N64)
Mario Circuit 3 (SNES)
Mushroom Gorge (Wii)
Sydney Sprint (Tour)
Waluigi Pinball (DS)
Snow Land (GBA)
New York Minute (Tour)

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass was first announced during February’s Nintendo Direct. While players need to purchase the pass or own the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack to play these courses in singleplayer, they’re free to use in the multiplayer rotation.RELATED: The Comet Is Coming Album

There are four more Waves set to release between now and the end of 2023, and by then, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will contain over half of all the tracks ever made for the series.
