We thought this day would never come, but it\u2019s very nice to be proven wrong sometimes \u2013 a Mario Kart 8 DLC release date is on the horizon, with a whopping 48 tracks due to be added to the beloved Nintendo Switch game.<\/p>\n
The original Mario Kart 8 release date occurred all the way back in May 2014 on the Wii U, with the Nintendo Switch \u2018Deluxe\u2019 version going on to launch in April 2017. And now, years later, Nintendo has finally responded to the fandom\u2019s hunger for more courses to be added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.<\/p>\n
The Mario Kart 8 DLC is going by the name Booster Course Pass, and you\u2019ll be able to buy this in a couple of different ways: you could purchase the pass as a standalone expansion, or you could get it included with a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass. Keep on reading to learn more!<\/p>\n
The Mario Kart 8 DLC release date will take place on 18th March 2022<\/strong> \u2013 that\u2019s the date on which \u2018Wave 1\u2019 of this update will roll out, bringing eight new tracks into the game.<\/p>\n There will be six \u2018Waves\u2019 to this DLC in total, with each one delivering another eight tracks to the fans, but we don\u2019t know the release dates for Wave 2, Wave 3, Wave 4, Wave 5 or Wave 6 just yet. We\u2019ll be sure to update you when we do.<\/p>\n Of the 48 courses that will eventually launch as part of this Mario Kart 8 DLC, the following eight tracks have already been confirmed! These eight remastered courses will all be included in Wave 1:<\/p>\n Golden Dash Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucky Cat Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n None of this Mario Kart 8 DLC is free, it\u2019s worth noting. You\u2019ll need to own the base game and pay an extra course to access the DLC content.<\/p>\n The Mario Kart 8 DLC price can be paid in two ways, and the amount differs depending on your preference. You can either buy the Booster Course Pass on its own, or you can get it included in a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass membership:<\/p>\n The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass also includes a library of N64 games, a library of Sega Mega Drive games, and the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise DLC<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you just can\u2019t wait for the Mario Kart 8 DLC release date on 18th March, take a look at the Mario Kart 8 DLC trailer below to whet your appetite for Wave 1 and all the goodies that will follow!<\/p>\nMario Kart 8 DLC courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n
