Mario Kart 8 DLC Set To Excite Fans As Nintendo Make a Welcome Change

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the game that keeps on giving. While many hoped to get an update on the next Mario Kart iteration from the February Nintendo Direct event, what they got instead was a new DLC for MK8 Deluxe! The Course Booster Pass will reignite this beloved title with retro courses from across the franchise’s vast catalog. And if you thought it couldn’t get any better, get ready to be surprised.

YouTube channel SwitchForce recently released a video that mentions a key detail about these tracks. And if you’re a true Mario Kart fan, you wouldn’t want to miss this.

Nintendo adds a spectacular feature to the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC!

The Japanese video games giant surprised fans worldwide when they announced the Course Booster Pass. This colossal DLC includes a whopping 48 new courses for the racing title. Doubling the current number of available tracks. The stellar move not only extends the life of the game but brings it closer to being the ultimate Mario Kart.

However, Nintendo plans on one-upping your expectations even further. Zach from SwitchForce notes:

“We now know that [in] these courses, you can pick your path.”

This revelation means not only does the upcoming DLC expand the base game, but actually elevates it.

Having the choice to choose your own path means the game isn’t forcing you to follow a linear route set for you. Instead, players have the freedom to experiment and enjoy the game in whatever manner suits them best.

Zach adds that according to a recent Nintendo press release, the upcoming courses are an amalgamation of different variants from Mario Kart Tour. So tracks like Tokyo Blue, Paris Promenade, and Ninja Hideaway will offer options to the player to choose their own path. This confirms Nintendo modified the courses to be bigger and better.

Accordingly, fans could now blaze down any route of their choosing on one giant map instead of having to select different versions of the same map like Mario Kart Tour.

It seems Nintendo plans on shaking up the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe formula, instead of simply stuffing it full of more courses. This is good news for fans who get to experience an exciting new feature in their 5-year-old game.
