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

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.)

How do I get the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass?

There are two ways to get access.

1) Folks who have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Packmembership** already have access to this content—there is no additional cost on top of the membership price.

Members also get access to a selection of Nintendo 64™, SEGA Genesis™, and Game Boy™ Advance games, access to the Animal Crossing™: New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise DLC* and Splatoon™ 2: Octo Expansion*, and all the benefits of a Nintendo Switch Online membership (online play, access to a library of classic Super NES™, NES™, and Game Boy games, access to the Save Data Cloud, exclusive games, and more).

You can learn more about Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack by finding the Nintendo Switch Online icon on your HOME Menu (it’s the red icon at the far left).

2) Non-members can access the courses by purchasing the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC separately. If you don’t have the base game yet, you can also buy the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle (Game + Booster Course Pass).

OK, that about sums it up. But before we head out, we’d also like to thank all the fans who have taken this ride with us from start to finish—we hope you enjoyed this content. And, of course, a big welcome to all the newcomers.
