In This Article
Nintendo keeps finding new ways to breathe new life intoMario Kart 8 Deluxe, which launched alongside the Switch console in 2017, and before that had existed in standard form for the Wii U since 2014.
On August 4, the company will add a further eight tracks to the game, the second wave of DLC content that’ll see48 new coursesadded to the iconic kart racing game. The first wave arrived in March.
Gamers will need aSwitch Online + Expansion Packsubscription in order to access the DLC at no extra cost. However, they can also be purchased outright, in bundles from the Nintendo eShop.
The new bundle of tracks are based upon classics from previous releases in the long-running franchise, including from the SNES, Wii, N64, DS, Game Boy Advance and the recent Tour mobile game.
However, there is one brand new course making its debut within this DLC release. The ice-cream based level called Sky-High Sundae, which is “filled with larger-than-life desserts at nearly every turn”, Nintendo says.
Gamers will hope the new tracks inspire a little more excitement than the previous wave, which proved somewhat underwhelming. The tracks are divided into two new cups and the full details are as follows:
Turnip Cup
Propeller Cup
There’ll be six waves of DLC overall, which will eventually double the number of courses available when the game launched in 2017.
