Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Wave 2 Includes a Brand New Track [IGN]

When Nintendo announced the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, the company stated the pass would focus on remasters of courses from old games. However, Wave 2 of the pack contains a delicious twist to the Pass’s formula: an entirely new course.

Today, Nintendo shared a trailer for Wave 2, which is slated to release on August 4. Fans were quick to notice the track Sky-High Sundae, an entirely new addition to the Mario Kart franchise. The ice cream-themed track will be the first original course to be added to the Booster Course Pass.

The pack also brings back a few fan favorites, including Waluigi Pinball and Mushroom Gorge, through the Turnip Cup and Propellor Cup. Here’s the full list of what Wave 2 will bring to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:

• Sky High Sundae
• Kalimari Desert (N64)
• Mario Circuit 3 (SNES)
• Mushroom Gorge (Wii)
• Sydney Sprint (Tour)
• Waluigi Pinball (DS)
• Snow Land (GBA)
• New York Minute (Tour)

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass was first announced during February’s Nintendo Direct. While players need to purchase the pass or own the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack to play these courses in singleplayer, they’re free to use in the multiplayer rotation.

There are four more Waves set to release between now and the end of 2023, and by then, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will contain over half of all the tracks ever made for the series.
