The Mario Kart series – including all titles discussed above – is the copyright of Nintendo. The Booster Course Pass will add more racetracks in three “waves” across 2023. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the Booster Course Pass are out now for Nintendo Switch. What better way to celebrate Mario Kart’s thirtieth anniversary? ![]() I certainly had a good time going back to replay some of these tracks or just looking at gameplay videos. So I hope this was a bit of fun some fantasy racetrack additions from a long-time Mario Kart fan. The track Merry Mountain in particular is just what I want to see at this time of year, and it’s been a blast racing through that Christmassy village! London – the place where I was born! – also features in Wave 3 as one of the more interesting (and longest) city tracks shown off so far, and it’s been a blast to replay racetracks like Maple Treeway too. I’ve been having a good time with Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass. With all of that out of the way, let’s begin! Finally, all of this is just the subjective take of one person! If I don’t include your favourite racetrack, or include a track you absolutely hate, that’s just the way it goes! For obvious reasons, I haven’t picked any tracks that are already part of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or the Booster Course Pass! And as always, my usual caveats apply: I have no “insider information,” and I’m not trying to claim that any of these racetracks will be part of the Booster Course Pass in future. I haven’t invented any brand-new racetracks this time around these are all tracks that have appeared in one or more Mario Kart titles. I’ve tried to pick tracks from different entries in the series, some of which I’m more familiar with than others. Racetracks like Kalimari Desert, from the Nintendo 64, and Coconut Mall, from the Wii, have been included in the Booster Course Pass already, and would likely have made a list like this if I’d made it a few months ago! But there are still plenty of racetracks from past iterations of Mario Kart that I’d love to see updated – so that’s what we’re going to look at today! For the money, I reckon the Booster Course Pass is pretty good value – or at least it will be when all of the tracks are ready! Only half of the new racetracks have been released at time of writing, so your mileage may vary on how much value for money you think you’re getting!Īs I said when I reviewed the Booster Course Pass, several of my favourites from past editions of the series have already been added. Let’s set Mario Kart 9 and its associated disappointment to one side for now and focus on the Booster Course Pass. But Nintendo disagreed, and instead what we’ve had this year has been the Booster Course Pass – downloadable content for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that’s slowly adding extra tracks to the game in “waves” of eight at a time. That game most likely won’t arrive until the Nintendo Switch’s successor console is released, which is a shame if you ask me! 2022 has been the Mario Kart series’ thirtieth anniversary, and with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe being just an extended port of a Wii U game released back in 2014, I felt that the time was right for a brand-new entry in the series. It’s official: I’ve given up on seeing Mario Kart 9 any time soon. ![]()
