The next wave of downloadable tracks for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is almost here. Nintendo announced that Wave 3 of its "Booster Course Pass DLC" will be available on December 7th, bringing eight new tracks to the racer.

The tracks are divided into two cups, and each is an updated version of one previously found in previous Mario Kart games.

Meanwhile, Moon Cup includes Tour Berlin Byways (Mario Kart Tour), Peach Garden (DS), Merry Mountain (Mario Kart Tour) and the 3DS iteration of the iconic Rainbow Road.

Nintendo says the final three batches of courses will be out before the end of 2023. They're available for $24.99 for the entire Thing collection or as part of the Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription tier.
