Back towards the beginning of February, Nintendo unveiled that the fourth wave of content for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe‘s DLC, the Booster Course Pass, was coming in the Spring. With that announcement, we learned that both the Yoshi Island and Birdo would be added as a new course and character, respectively.
On Thursday, the full details behind the next wave of content was released, including a release date – 9th March – as well as the eight courses coming in the two new cups to the title with the Fruit Cup and the Boomerang Cup.
Just in time for what is unofficially Mario Day… We put the number after the month here in the States, so it reads Mar10… get it?
Three Mario Kart Tour tracks and individual returns from titles like Super Circuit, MK Wii, Double Dash and MK DS are included in the track lineup. There’s also the new Yoshi’s Island track that was unveiled last month.
Also, Birdo joins as a playable character in the Medium weight class with multiple color options to choose from.
FRUIT CUP TRACK LIST
- Amsterdam Drift – Mario Kart Tour
- Riverside Park – Mario Kart Super Circuit GBA
- DK Summit – Mario Kart Wii
- Yoshi’s Island – NEW
BOOMERANG CUP TRACK LIST

The Booster Course Pass has released half of the six projected waves so far. Wave 1 released back on 18th March, Wave 2 was released on 4th August and Wave 3 was launched on 7th December. The sixth and final wave is set to release in December 2023.
The entire DLC comes in one piece and will set you back about £22.49/€24.99/$24.99. It is also included as a perk for those who have an active Nintendo Switch Online and Expansion Pack Membership.
