Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 6 Arrives This Holiday as the 'Final Wave of DLC'

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Wave 6, which will serve as the “final wave of DLC” for the beloved racing game, will be released this holiday and will add Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline, Peachette, and Daisy Circuit from Mario Kart Wii.

While we didn’t get an actual release date, Nintendo did share an extended look at all the content that will be part of this final wave. Oh, and it’s important to note that Diddy Kong is from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Funky Kong is from Mario Kart Wii, and Pauline and Peachette are from Mario Kart Tour.

Each wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass includes eight courses, so we know others will join Daisy Circuit from Mario Kart Wii. We will surely learn more as we get closer to the holiday season.

This new content is available to all players who have purchased the $24.99 Booster Course Pass in addition to those who are subscribed to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

Wave 5 added Petey Piranha, Wiggler, and Kamek alongside such courses as Mario Kart Super Circuit’s Sunset Wilds, Mario Kart Tour’s Athens Dash, and Mario Kart Wii’s Moonview Highway.
