The Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will enter the fifth of its six waves this Summer of 2023. On Wednesday (21st June) during a Nintendo Direct stream, select details about the next section of the DLC were provided.

While we don’t yet know the full scope of the upcoming Wave 5 of the DLC, we do know there will be new content coming in the form of three characters and a brand new Mario Kart circuit.

Squeaky Clean Sprint is the new course, and the setting seems to be some sort of washroom where the characters are all shrunken down.

This is, of course, just one of eight courses that will be included in the DLC, but the other seven, which likely will be ported from previous titles, are still to be announced.
