The pack includes twelve additional [[cup]]s, for a total of 48 additional courses (bringing the total number of courses in the game to 96), most of which are [[Classic course|remastered versions]] of courses from other ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games, including ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. The courses are based on their designs from ''Mario Kart Tour'', but with visual improvements and new music arrangements. In addition to the courses, starting with Wave 4's release, the pass also features eight additional playable characters for the game, which also return from other ''Mario Kart'' games. The pass is being released through six waves, with each wave containing eight total courses (divided into two cups of four courses each). All waves are set to be released by the end of 2023. The pack marks the longest gap between the original release of a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game and the release of its DLC, with the first wave releasing nearly five years after ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' did. The pack also makes ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' the first ''Mario Kart'' game to feature classic courses from games following the original game's release, with ''Mario Kart Tour'' and its reappearing courses debuting after ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' was initially released.

The ''Booster Course Pass'' can be purchased on its own, but it is also included in a [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] subscription,<ref name=FirstTrailer>Nintendo (February 9, 2022).

Several minor adjustments to the courses in Wave 1 were made upon the release of Wave 2, such as their course icons being slightly brighter, and the sand and dirt on some courses now leaving tire marks. Additionally, the final car section in {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}} was adjusted, making the [[Car (obstacle)|car]]s serve as hazards and move sporadically in random directions (except for Time Trials, in which they remain stationary as they were originally).

In the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced a bundle that includes the base ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' game and a download code for the ''Booster Course Pass'' in Japan<ref>{{media link|-MK8D BCP bundle Jpbox art.jpeg|}}</ref> and a bundle that includes the ''Booster Course Pass'' download code and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' pins, cards, and stickers (no game included) in Europe and Oceania, both of which released on October 6, 2023.<ref>Nintendo UK (September 14, 2023).

Each of the six waves features two cups, each with four courses, for eight courses per wave.<ref name=FirstTrailer/> As of the sixth wave, there is one course from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', two courses each from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', three courses from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', four courses from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', five courses from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', seven courses from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', fourteen courses from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and three [[new course]]s. Excluding the ''Mario Kart Tour'' courses, {{classic|DS|Shroom Ridge}} and {{classic|GBA|Snow Land}} are the only courses to make their classic course debuts in the ''Booster Course Pass''.

[[Ninja Hideaway]] and [[Merry Mountain]] lack the "Tour" prefix, despite both debuting in ''Mario Kart Tour''. In the Tencent release of the DLC in mainland China, all courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' lack the "Tour" prefix, likely due to ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s unavailability from app distribution platforms in mainland China.

In the British English version of the game, {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}} and {{classic-link|Wii|DK Summit}} are known as {{classic|3DS|Alpine Pass}} and {{classic|Wii|DK's Snowboard Cross}} respectively, as was the case in the British English versions of their original appearances. However, courses that had different names between European French and Canadian French in previous games instead use their European French names in both versions.

In addition to the courses listed below, {{classic-link|Wii|Daisy Circuit}} is included among courses in the sixth wave.

An alternate version of the key artwork exists in the game's files as of version 2.0.0, showing several courses that were unreleased at the time of the update's release. As with the official artwork, this banner uses official screenshots and in-game course icons from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', including icons for trick and reverse/trick variants. Several courses included in the pass appeared in this banner before their official announcements, including [[Sky-High Sundae]], {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}, {{classic-link|Wii|DK Summit}}, {{classic-link|GBA|Sunset Wilds}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, and several ''Tour'' city courses (notably including {{classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} before their official reveals for ''Mario Kart Tour''<ref>{{media link|MK8D Booster Course Pass Banner Amsterdam and Bangkok.png}}</ref>), though the {{classic|SNES|Mario Circuit}} art used within it is that of {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 1}}, rather than {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, which appears in the pass.

 

In the game's internal data in version 2.0.0, many upcoming course slots were each designated a prefix. Across waves 2-6, "SNES" (denoting a ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' course) was allocated to two courses, "N64" (''[[Mario Kart 64]]'') to one course, "GBA" (''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'') to four courses, "GCN" (''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'') to four, "DS" (''[[Mario Kart DS]]'') to three, "Wii" (''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'') to five, "3DS" (''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') to two, and "Tour" (''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''{{'}}s city courses) to twelve, in addition to seven courses without a prefix (which either denote new courses or ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s  non-city courses).<ref>[https://twitter.com/fishguy6564/status/1504594255020535816]</ref> The prefixes, which matched the courses in Wave 2, were removed in version 2.1.0 with that wave's release; however, the lineups of later were slightly different, with several prefixes changing positions within the respective waves, {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} appearing in place of {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} in Wave 3, and {{classic-link|Wii|Moonview Highway}} appearing in place of a planned SNES course in Wave 5. Additionally, while the third slot of the [[Acorn Cup]] did not have a prefix in the data, {{classic|Wii|Moonview Highway}}'s codename (Cnsw_63) assigns it to that placement, indicating that this slot may have been undecided.

In version 2.1.0, brief snippets of the first seconds of the music for many then-unreleased courses were added to the game's files, including {{classic|GBA|Sunset Wilds}}, {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}, all of ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s [[new course]]s up to {{classic|Tour|Bangkok Rush}}, and every course that would go on to be featured in Wave 3.<ref>[https://youtu.be/JthHtyww3r0]</ref> The filenames of these music snippets all corresponded to the course order dictated by the then-removed unused prefixes; the snippets were removed with Wave 3's release in version 2.2.0.<ref>[https://twitter.com/fishguy6564/status/1600536694528385024]</ref> These filenames indicate that several courses were moved between waves before their release, such as {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} and {{classic|Wii|Maple Treeway}} originally being planned for Waves 3 and 6 respectively, and {{classic-link|Tour|Los Angeles Laps}} and {{classic|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} originally being planned for Waves 4 and 5 respectively.
