Nintendo revealed during its February 2022 Direct that Mario Kart 8 will be receiving a huge DLC update with the Booster Course Pass. Some Nintendo fans are probably disappointed that the announcement wasn’t Mario Kart 9, but 8 has been one of the bestselling Switch games of all time, so it’s not surprising that a new game isn’t coming out just yet. Fans should still be excited, however, as the Booster Pass is adding 48 remastered courses from Super Nintendo, GameBoy Advance, Gamecube, N64, DS, Wii, 3DS, and Mario Kart Tour versions of the game. That’s more than enough new content to keep fans going until Mario Kart 9 is announced. Here, you’ll be able to find all the information about the Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pass release date, price, how it will work, and the best place to buy. The second wave of eight courses in the Booster Course Pass was released on Thursday the 4th of August and included courses such as Mushroom Gorge from Mario Kart Wii and Waluigi Pinball from Mario Kart DS. The two cups are called Turnip Cup and Propeller cup. The first wave of eight courses was released in March 2022 and featured the beloved Choco Mountain course from Mariokart 64, and Coconut Hall from Mario Kart Wii, in two cups called Golden Dash Cup and Lucky Cat Cup. The subsequent waves are expected to launch periodically up until the end of 2023.

However, you don’t actually need to buy the Booster Pass to play the courses online. If you are playing with a friend who owns the Booster Pass, you can play with them on those courses even if you don’t own it, and the same applies to global online play. The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass is also being included in the Switch Online Expansion Pack making it even better value for money than when it first launched. The expansion pack already includes the Animal Crossing New Horizon: Happy Home Paradise DLC plus the N64 and Sega game collections so you’ll be getting even more bang for your buck for the same price as before. If you already have access to the expansion pack, then you’ll get access to the Booster Course pack! If you’re not already a NSO member and would prefer to access the Booster Course Pass via the expansion pack, you can buy it bought with a 12-month NSO membership for £34.99 but if you have family and friends to split the cost, the family membership for £59.99 could work out to be better value as it can be used across 8 different Switch accounts - and they don’t have to be on the same console. There’s also the option to add the expansion pack to an already active NSO membership via your Nintendo Switch account for a subsidised amount.
