Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass: Funky Kong, Pauline, and more join the race! Hero

It's been a long race to the finish line, but we've finally crossed it, y'all.

The sixth and final wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC* for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game is out now. Eight courses and four characters have now been added, which means that the DLC is finally complete with a grand total of 48 additional courses and eight characters. That means that if you play all 48 additional courses from start to finish... you will have played a total of 48 courses!

(We really need to work on our fun facts.)
