Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC - Booster Course Pass Price, Wave 2 Release Date, and More

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is already packed with some of the series' best courses, and even more are on the way. Nintendo will be releasing dozens of additional tracks for the Switch racing game as part of the Booster Course Pass, six waves of DLC coming through the end of 2023. Here's everything you need to know about the pass, including how much it costs, how to download it, and what courses are included in Wave 2.

How much is the Booster Course Pass?

There are two ways to get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass. The first is to purchase it outright from the Nintendo eShop for $25. After buying the pass, you'll get access to each wave of courses as they're released.

Alternatively, you can download the Booster Course Pass for free if you're a Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack subscriber. You'll be able to enjoy the DLC as long as you have an active membership. If your subscription lapses, however, you'll lose access until you renew or buy the pass.

An individual Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack membership costs $50 per year, while an annual family plan membership costs $80. The latter covers up to eight Nintendo Accounts across multiple Switch systems. In addition to the Booster Course Pass, subscribers have access to various other perks, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Happy Home Paradise DLC, Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion DLC, and a library of classic Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games.

How many courses are being added?

The Booster Course Pass is adding a whopping 48 additional tracks to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. These courses are taken from across the entire Mario Kart series and will be released eight at a time in six waves through the end of 2023. You cannot purchase the waves individually.
