What paid Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC added 48 race tracks?

What paid Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC added 48 race tracks? The Booster Course Pass did. Announced in February 2022, this paid expansion added 48 courses to the Nintendo Switch version of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The content arrived in six waves, with each wave providing eight tracks divided between two cups.

Most of the courses are remastered versions from earlier Mario Kart games, including tracks originally seen in Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart Tour. The pass also included original courses such as Sky-High Sundae, Yoshi’s Island, and Squeaky Clean Sprint.

The first wave launched on March 18, 2022, and the sixth and final wave arrived on November 9, 2023. The complete pass therefore expanded the game’s course lineup by 50 percent relative to its original 96-course total when counting the base game and earlier Wii U DLC together.

A frequent confusion is Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Subscribers could access the Booster Course Pass without buying it separately, but the subscription is not the DLC’s name. “Expansion Pass” is the service tier; “Booster Course Pass” is the Mario Kart add-on.
