The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, sometimes formatted as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Booster Course Pass on Nintendo's Oceanian website,^[17]^[18] is a DLC expansion pack for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. First announced during the Nintendo Direct on February 9, 2022, the pack includes twelve additional cups, for a total of 48 additional courses (bringing the total number of courses in the game to 96), most of which are remastered versions of courses from other Mario Kart games, including Mario Kart Tour. The courses are based on their designs from Mario Kart Tour, but with significant visual improvements and new music arrangements. The pass was released in six waves, with each wave containing eight total courses (divided into two cups of four courses each). 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 games of the Mario Kart series. The pack marks the longest gap between the original release of a 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 Online + Expansion Pack subscription,^[19] as well as in the digital-exclusive Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle (Game + Booster Course Pass).^[20] In Hong Kong, activation codes for the Booster Course Pass are additionally distributed in physical Nintendo Switch game cases, though buyers must own a copy of the base game to be able to use a code.^[21] If the player has purchased the Booster Course Pass or currently has a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, a small icon of a Super Star can be seen next to the version number on the game's title screen. The first wave of the DLC was made available to pre-load on March 15, 2022, and was released in most regions on March 18, 2022, while the final wave was released on November 9, 2023.

The courses shown in the key artwork use official screenshots and in-game course icons from Mario Kart Tour. Some screenshots of the courses show Paris Promenade and Paris Promenade 3 with barrier fences from that game, as well as an official screenshot of the ninja Shy Guys in Ninja Hideaway, which originated from the 2021 Ninja Tour's in-game preview. Prior to Wave 1's release, the infographic showing all of the known courses across all six waves also used Mario Kart Tour screenshots. However, in the launch trailer for Wave 1 posted following its release, the infographic was updated to use in-game screenshots from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for all courses, which the release trailers for future waves, as well as the version of the infographic added to the game's menu in version 2.3.0 (upon the release of Wave 4), would follow as well.

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 Wii Coconut Mall was adjusted, making the cars serve as hazards and move sporadically in random directions (except for Time Trials, in which they remain stationary as they were originally). With Wave 6, an additional end credits sequence was added, listing the staff members who worked on the pass.

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, and a bundle that includes the Booster Course Pass download code and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe pins, cards, and stickers (without the game) in Europe and Oceania, both of which released on October 6, 2023.^[22]^[23]^[24]

Content[edit]

Courses[edit]

Each of the six waves features two cups, each with four courses, for eight courses per wave.^[19] In total, there are two courses each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, three courses from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, four courses each from Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7, five courses from Mario Kart: Super Circuit, eight courses from Mario Kart Wii, seventeen courses from Mario Kart Tour, and three new courses. Excluding the Mario Kart Tour courses, DS Shroom Ridge and GBA Snow Land are the only courses to make their first classic course appearances in the Booster Course Pass.

Ninja Hideaway, Merry Mountain, and Piranha Plant Cove lack the "Tour" prefix, despite 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. Piranha Plant Pipeline is the only new course introduced in Mario Kart Tour to not be included in the DLC.

In Time Trials, the countries of several of the 150cc staff ghosts for Mario Kart Tour's city courses match the cities' respective countries: Tour Paris Promenade, Tour Tokyo Blur, Tour New York Minute and Tour Los Angeles Laps, Tour London Loop, Tour Berlin Byways, Tour Amsterdam Drift, Tour Rome Avanti, and Tour Madrid Drive's staff ghosts are French, Japanese, American, British, German, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish respectively. The other city courses have Japanese, American, or Spanish staff ghosts, as there are no staff ghosts in the game corresponding to the countries of those cities.

In the British English version of the game, 3DS Rock Rock Mountain and Wii DK Summit are known as 3DS Alpine Pass and Wii DK's Snowboard Cross respectively, as was the case in the British English versions of their original appearances. However, most courses that had different names between European French and Canadian French in previous games instead use their European French names in both versions, with the exceptions of DS Waluigi Pinball, Tour Amsterdam Drift, and 3DS Rosalina's Ice World.

Wave 1 Released on March 18, 2022 September 26, 2022		Wave 2 Released on August 4, 2022 September 26, 2022		Wave 3 Released on December 7, 2022 December 21, 2022

Characters[edit]

Character selection from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe including Gold Mario. Featuring the Breath of the Wild variant of Link from the Ver. 1.6.0 update, Birdo from the Ver. 2.3.0 update, Petey Piranha, Wiggler, and Kamek from the Ver. 2.4.0 update, and Peachette, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, and Pauline from the Ver. 3.0.0 update.

The Booster Course Pass adds Birdo, Petey Piranha, Wiggler, Kamek, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline, and Peachette to the game.

Starting in Wave 4, eight additional playable characters were also added in the Booster Course Pass in addition to the courses.^[25]^[26] All of these characters reuse their character models, icons (except for Funky Kong), and some animations from Mario Kart Tour, along with several new animations such as tricks for bikes and ATVs, as well as losing animations. With Birdo's inclusion in Wave 4 and Diddy Kong and Funky Kong's inclusion in Wave 6, all playable characters from Mario Kart Wii are now included in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Wave 4[edit]

Birdo - Birdo returns from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart Tour as the sole playable character included in Wave 4. Similarly to Yoshi and Shy Guy, Birdo has nine different colors. She is a mediumweight driver and has identical statistics to Peach, Daisy, and Yoshi. Birdo's alternate colors are named after the Mario Kart Tour variants, taking the form of "Birdo (color)" as opposed to "color Birdo", which Yoshi and Shy Guy's color variations use. Birdo's horn sound resembles the sound she makes when spitting out an egg in Super Mario Bros. 2.
- Alternate colors:

Wave 5[edit]

Petey Piranha - Petey Piranha returns from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Tour as one of three new drivers in Wave 5. He is a heavyweight driver and has almost the same statistics as Metal Mario / Gold Mario and Pink Gold Peach, except for using the large vehicle size instead of medium, and with an Invincibility statistic additionally increased by a value of 0.75 (3 points).
Wiggler - Wiggler returns from Mario Kart 7 as one of three new drivers in Wave 5. It is a heavyweight driver and has identical statistics to Waluigi, Donkey Kong, and Roy, except for using the medium vehicle size instead of large. Its release in Wave 5 was hours before its introduction to Mario Kart Tour in the Pipe Tour. Its horn sounds like a train whistle, the same type of sound Wiggler makes when it gets angry.
Kamek - Kamek returns from Mario Kart Tour as one of three new drivers in Wave 5. He is a mediumweight driver and has identical statistics to Luigi and Iggy. His horn sound resembles his speech in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Kamek was originally intended to appear as a racer in the original Mario Kart 8, but was scrapped during development.

Wave 6[edit]

Diddy Kong - Diddy Kong returns from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart Tour as one of four new drivers in Wave 6. He is a mediumweight driver and has identical statistics to Cat Peach, Inkling Girl, and female Villager.^[27]
Funky Kong - Funky Kong returns from Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart Tour as one of four new drivers in Wave 6. He is a heavyweight driver and has identical statistics to Wario, Dry Bowser, and heavyweight Miis.^[27] He is the only Booster Course Pass character who does not reuse his icon from Mario Kart Tour.
Pauline - Pauline returns from Mario Kart Tour as one of four new drivers in Wave 6. She is a heavyweight driver and has identical statistics to Rosalina, King Boo, and Link.^[27] She has a unique outfit for when she is using a bike or ATV. Her horn sound is based on the stage clear jingle from Donkey Kong.
Peachette - Peachette returns from Mario Kart Tour as one of four new drivers in Wave 6. She is a mediumweight driver and has identical statistics to Peach, Daisy, Birdo, and Yoshi.^[27] She has a unique outfit for when she is using a bike or ATV. Her horn sound is a combination of Toadette's and Peach's horn sounds.

Mii Racing Suits[edit]

The eighteen Mii Racing Suits added in the Wave 6 update

As part of the Wave 6 update, eighteen Mii Racing Suits from Mario Kart Tour were added. Seventeen of these suits are available for players with the Booster Course Pass. The other suit, which is the Daisy Mii Racing Suit, is unlocked by scanning Daisy's amiibo, and is available to be scanned in regardless of whether or not the player owns the Booster Course Pass. The seventeen suits in the Booster Course Pass have unique trick animations while in anti-gravity mode, some of which are taken from Mario Kart Tour, while some are original. Like amiibo suits, these do not affect any statistics. The Wave 6 update also modified the Mii icon on the character select screen to no longer include the amiibo logo, as it looked in the original Mario Kart 8 before the introduction of amiibo support. The seventeen suits available in the Booster Course Pass are listed below:

DLC Suits
? Block Suit	Castle Suit	Toadette Suit	Dry Bowser Suit	Chain Chomp Suit	Cheep Cheep Suit

Dolphin Suit	Pokey Suit	Blooper Suit	Koopa Clown Car Suit	Para-Biddybud Suit	Ice Cream Suit

Internal content[edit]

Internal key artwork

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, GCN Waluigi Stadium, Wii DK Summit, GBA Sunset Wilds, Wii Koopa Cape, and several Tour city courses (notably including Tour Amsterdam Drift and Tour Bangkok Rush before their official reveals for Mario Kart Tour^[28]), though the SNES Mario Circuit art used within it is that of SNES Mario Circuit 1 and RMX Mario Circuit 1, rather than 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).^[29] 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, Wii Maple Treeway appearing in place of GCN Waluigi Stadium in Wave 3, and Wii Moonview Highway appearing in place of SNES Bowser Castle 3 in Wave 5. Additionally, while the third slot of the Acorn Cup did not have a prefix in the data, Wii Moonview Highway's codename (Cnsw_63) assigns it to that placement, indicating that this slot may have been intended for either Piranha Plant Pipeline, which was the only Tour course to not be added as part of the Booster Course Pass, or a non-city Tour course that was never finished (as its own internal data indicates two non-city courses were in development, but later scrapped). Wave 6 also originally featured a second blank course slot and a fourth GCN slot; however, the final wave instead included Wii Daisy Circuit and 3DS Rosalina's Ice World, neither of which would have been possible inclusions with the original prefix leak (as Wii Rainbow Road's spot lines up with the exact spot from said datamine and matches Wave 3 ending with 3DS Rainbow Road).

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 GBA Sunset Wilds, GCN Waluigi Stadium, all of Mario Kart Tour's new courses up to Tour Bangkok Rush, and every course that would go on to be featured in Wave 3.^[30] 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.^[31] These filenames indicate that several courses were moved between waves before their release, such as GCN Waluigi Stadium and Wii Maple Treeway originally being planned for Waves 3 and 6 respectively, Tour Los Angeles Laps and Tour Bangkok Rush originally being planned for Waves 4 and 5 respectively, and Tour Madrid Drive's and Tour Athens Dash's spots being swapped.

Staff[edit]

Main article: List of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass staff

A credits sequence for the Booster Course Pass was added upon Wave 6's release. If the player has the Booster Course Pass, this credits sequence first plays upon completing all of its cups in at least third place in Grand Prix mode, then subsequently plays whenever the player completes the Moon Cup or Spiny Cup in at least third place. If the player does not have the Booster Course Pass, this credits sequence first plays upon completing any cup in Grand Prix mode in at least third place after racing in the Booster Course Pass's courses in online or wireless multiplayer at least 100 times, then subsequently plays whenever the player completes the Bell Cup in at least third place.^[32] The credits feature a downward scrolling sequence with many labels and stickers of various sponsors along with photos showing footage from the trailers that advertised the pass, as well as silhouettes of objects corresponding to the courses being shown, ending with a photoMedia:MK8DXThankYouEndScreen.jpg of the Lakitu referee and most of the playable characters (excluding Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, the playable Lakitu, Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach, the Inklings, the Villagers, Isabelle, Link, and Miis, as well as all character variants) posing together on N64 Rainbow Road with the text "THANK YOU!" at the bottom. The music begins with an arrangement of the credits theme from Super Mario Kart, followed by a medley of several course themes (in order of appearance: Tour Tokyo Blur, Ninja Hideaway, Tour Berlin Byways, Tour Singapore Speedway, Tour Vancouver Velocity, Tour Los Angeles Laps, Tour Madrid Drive, and Sky-High Sundae), then returns to the Super Mario Kart credits theme before ending.

Trivia[edit]

The official North American webpage for the pass has had numerous errors over time:
- The pass was once briefly referred to as the "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pack" on the site.^[33]
- DS Shroom Ridge was once briefly labeled as a 3DS course instead of DS.^[34]
- Following the full reveal of Wave 3 and until its release, the website erroneously stated that Wave 3 would be available on December 7, 2023 rather than 2022.^[35]
  - Similarly, the British Nintendo eShop page for the Booster Course Pass erroneously states that Wave 3 released on December 8 rather than December 7.^[36]
- Nintendo of America's official Twitter account once erroneously used the British English name for Wii DK Summit in a tweet before deleting it and replacing it with the American English name.^[37]
- Wii Rainbow Road used an image of 3DS Rainbow Road instead, and SNES Bowser Castle 3 was incorrectly listed as "Bowser's Castle 3".^[38] Both errors have since been fixed on all versions of the webpage.^[39]
The trailers for the first three waves of the Booster Course Pass feature a voiceover in the North American versions (performed by voice actress Luci Christian^[40]), which is absent from the versions for other regions. The reveal trailers for later waves lack voiceovers in all regions.
The minimaps for all Wave 6 courses are darker in color compared to the rest of the courses in the Booster Course Pass. Wii Rainbow Road's minimap sprite also lacks the drop shadow that all other minimaps in the game have.

-The '''''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass''' is a DLC expansion pack for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', announced during a Nintendo Direct held on February 9, 2022. The pack includes 12 additional [[cup]]s, for a total of 48 additional courses (bringing the total number of courses to 96), all 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'', with the exceptions of {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}} and {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, which are currently absent from said game. The pack marks the longest gap between the original release of a ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' game and the release of its DLC, releasing nearly five years after ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' did. Notably, the pack also makes ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' the first ''Mario Kart'' game to have retro course from after the original game's release, with ''Mario Kart Tour'' and its reappearing tracks being two younger than ''Deluxe''.

First announced during the Nintendo Direct on February 9, 2022, 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 significant visual improvements and new music arrangements. The pass was released in six waves, with each wave containing eight total courses (divided into two cups of four courses each). 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 games of the ''Mario Kart'' series. 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 Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] subscription,<ref name=FirstTrailer>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Nintendo of America|date=February 9, 2022|url=youtu.be/1uZDbDoDAq4|title=''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' - Booster Course Pass DLC - Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 9, 2022}}</ref> as well as in the digital-exclusive ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle (Game + Booster Course Pass)''.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|url=www.nintendo.com/store/products/mario-kart-8-deluxe-bundle-game-plus-booster-course-pass-switch|title=Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe Bundle (Game + Booster Course Pass)|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=January 31, 2023|archive=web.archive.org/web/20230128063850/https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/mario-kart-8-deluxe-bundle-game-plus-booster-course-pass-switch}}</ref> In Hong Kong, activation codes for the ''Booster Course Pass'' are additionally distributed in physical [[Nintendo Switch]] game cases, though buyers must own a copy of the base game to be able to use a code.<ref>{{cite|language=zh-hant|author=Nintendo.hk|date=July 15, 2022|url=www.facebook.com/Nintendo.hk/photos/3164757967073998|title=【香港資訊】 《瑪利歐賽車8 豪華版 新增賽道通行證》的盒裝版於本日發售！ 內附《瑪利歐賽車8 豪華版 新增賽道通行證》下載序號的卡片 ※要遊玩此新增內容，需要《瑪利歐賽車8 豪華版》本篇的遊戲軟體（另售）。 官方網頁 |publisher=Facebook|accessdate=February 22, 2023|archive=archive.today/2023.02.23-002659/https://www.facebook.com/Nintendo.hk/photos/3164757967073998/}}</ref> If the player has purchased the ''Booster Course Pass'' or currently has a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, a small icon of a [[Super Star]] can be seen next to the version number on the game's title screen. The first wave of the DLC was made available to pre-load on March 15, 2022, and was released in most regions on March 18, 2022, while the final wave was released on November 9, 2023.
+The courses shown in the key artwork use official screenshots and in-game course icons from ''Mario Kart Tour''. Some screenshots of the courses show [[Tour Paris Promenade|Paris Promenade]] and Paris Promenade 3 with barrier fences from that game, as well as an official screenshot of the ninja [[Shy Guy]]s in [[Ninja Hideaway]], which originated from the [[Ninja Tour (2021)|2021 Ninja Tour]]'s [[:File:MKT Ninja Hideaway Scene 2.jpg|in-game preview]]. Prior to Wave 1's release, the infographic showing all of the known courses across all six waves also used ''Mario Kart Tour'' screenshots. However, in the launch trailer for Wave 1 posted following its release, the infographic was updated to use in-game screenshots from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' for all courses, which the release trailers for future waves, as well as the version of the infographic added to the game's menu in version 2.3.0 (upon the release of Wave 4), would follow as well.
+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). With Wave 6, an additional end credits sequence was added, listing the staff members who worked on the pass.
+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, and a bundle that includes the ''Booster Course Pass'' download code and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' pins, cards, and stickers (without the game) in Europe and Oceania, both of which released on October 6, 2023.<ref>{{cite|language=ja|author=Nintendo 公式チャンネル|date=September 14, 2023|url=youtu.be/Qhab-mPaZI0?t=2041|timestamp=34:01|title=Nintendo Direct 2023.9.14|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 31, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-gb|author=Nintendo UK|date=September 14, 2023|timestamp=1:01:56|url=www.youtube.com/live/bkdhiquZ2Qw?t=3716|title=Nintendo Direct – 14/09/2023|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=September 15, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-au|author=NintendoAU|date=September 15, 2023|url=www.youtube.com/live/9C8o_77V16w?t=3568|timestamp=59:28|title=Nintendo Direct – 15/09/2023|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=September 15, 2023}}</ref>

+===Courses===
+Each of the six waves features two cups, each with four courses, for eight courses per wave.<ref name=FirstTrailer/> In total, there are two courses each from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', three courses from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', four courses each from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', five courses from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', eight courses from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', seventeen 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 first classic course appearances in the ''Booster Course Pass''.
+[[Ninja Hideaway]], [[Merry Mountain]], and [[Piranha Plant Cove]] lack the "Tour" prefix, despite 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. [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]] is the only new course introduced in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not be included in the DLC.
-The pack is set to be released in six waves by the end of 2023, with the first releasing on March 18, 2022. It can be purchased on its own, but is also included in the [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] membership.<ref name=FirstTrailer>Nintendo (February 9, 2022).

+In Time Trials, the countries of several of the 150cc staff ghosts for ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s city courses match the cities' respective countries: {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}}, {{classic-link|Tour|New York Minute}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Los Angeles Laps}}, {{classic-link|Tour|London Loop}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Rome Avanti}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Madrid Drive}}'s staff ghosts are French, Japanese, American, British, German, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish respectively. The other city courses have Japanese, American, or Spanish staff ghosts, as there are no staff ghosts in the game corresponding to the countries of those cities.
-==Pricing==
+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, most courses that had different names between European French and Canadian French in previous games instead use their European French names in both versions, with the exceptions of {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, {{classic|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}}.

+====Wave 4====
+*[[File:MK8D Birdo Icon.png|link=Birdo|32x32px]] '''[[Birdo]]''' - Birdo returns from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', ''Mario Kart Wii'', and ''Mario Kart Tour'' as the sole playable character included in Wave 4. Similarly to [[Yoshi]] and [[Shy Guy]], Birdo has nine different colors. She is a mediumweight driver and has identical statistics to [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and Yoshi. Birdo's alternate colors are named after the ''Mario Kart Tour'' variants, taking the form of "Birdo (''color'')" as opposed to "''color'' Birdo", which Yoshi and Shy Guy's color variations use. Birdo's horn sound resembles the sound she makes when spitting out an [[Birdo's Egg|egg]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
+**Alternate colors: [[File:MK8D Birdo Light-Blue Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (Light Blue)|32x32px]][[File:MK8D Birdo Black Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (Black)|32x32px]][[File:MK8D Birdo Red Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (Red)|32x32px]][[File:MK8D Birdo Yellow Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (Yellow)|32x32px]][[File:MK8D Birdo White Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (White)|32x32px]][[File:MK8D Birdo Blue Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (Blue)|32x32px]][[File:MK8D Birdo Green Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (Green)|32x32px]][[File:MK8D Birdo Orange Icon.png|link=Birdo|Birdo (Orange)|32x32px]]
+====Wave 5====
+*[[File:MK8DX Petey Piranha Icon.png|link=Petey Piranha|32x32px]] '''[[Petey Piranha]]''' - Petey Piranha returns from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart Tour'' as one of three new drivers in Wave 5. He is a heavyweight driver and has almost the same statistics as [[Metal Mario]] / [[Gold Mario]] and [[Pink Gold Peach]], except for using the large vehicle size instead of medium, and with an Invincibility statistic additionally increased by a value of 0.75 (3 points).
+*[[File:MK8DX Wiggler Icon.png|link=Wiggler|32x32px]] '''[[Wiggler]]''' - Wiggler returns from ''Mario Kart 7'' as one of three new drivers in Wave 5. It is a heavyweight driver and has identical statistics to [[Waluigi]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Roy]], except for using the medium vehicle size instead of large. Its release in Wave 5 was hours before its introduction to ''Mario Kart Tour'' in the [[Pipe Tour]]. Its horn sounds like a train whistle, the same type of sound Wiggler makes when it gets angry.
+*[[File:MK8DX Kamek Icon.png|link=Kamek|32x32px]] '''[[Kamek]]''' - Kamek returns from ''Mario Kart Tour'' as one of three new drivers in Wave 5. He is a mediumweight driver and has identical statistics to [[Luigi]] and [[Iggy]]. His horn sound resembles his speech in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Kamek was originally intended to appear as a racer in the original ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', but was [[List of Mario Kart 8 pre-release and unused content|scrapped during development]].

+===Mii Racing Suits===
+[[File:MK8DBoosterPassMiiRacingSuits.jpg|thumb|left|The eighteen Mii Racing Suits added in the Wave 6 update]]
+As part of the Wave 6 update, eighteen [[Mii]] Racing Suits from ''Mario Kart Tour'' were added. Seventeen of these suits are available for players with the ''Booster Course Pass''. The other suit, which is the [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] Mii Racing Suit, is unlocked by scanning Daisy's [[amiibo]], and is available to be scanned in regardless of whether or not the player owns the ''Booster Course Pass''. The seventeen suits in the ''Booster Course Pass'' have unique trick animations while in anti-gravity mode, some of which are taken from ''Mario Kart Tour'', while some are original. Like amiibo suits, these do not affect any statistics. The Wave 6 update also modified the Mii icon on the character select screen to no longer include the amiibo logo, as it looked in the original ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' before the introduction of amiibo support. The seventeen suits available in the ''Booster Course Pass'' are listed below:

+[[File:MK8DX BCP Leak.jpg|thumb|300px|Internal key artwork]]
+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>{{file 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}} and [[RMX 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>{{cite|url=x.com/fishguy6564/status/1504594255020535816|date=March 17, 2022|publisher=X|language=en|title=Here is a showcase of all the cups with potential prefixes. We have not confirmed if it is grabbing this information from garbage data.|author=Fishguy6564|accessdate=September 20, 2024}}</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 {{classic-link|SNES|Bowser Castle 3}} 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 intended for either [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]], which was the only ''Tour'' course to not be added as part of the ''Booster Course Pass'', or a non-city ''Tour'' course that was never finished (as its own internal data indicates two non-city courses were in development, but later scrapped). Wave 6 also originally featured a second blank course slot and a fourth GCN slot; however, the final wave instead included {{classic-link|Wii|Daisy Circuit}} and {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}}, neither of which would have been possible inclusions with the original prefix leak (as {{classic-link|Wii|Rainbow Road}}'s spot lines up with the exact spot from said datamine and matches Wave 3 ending with {{classic-link|3DS|Rainbow Road}}).
+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>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=JthHtyww3r0|author=BL|title=<nowiki>[SPOILERS]</nowiki> MK8D BOOSTER COURSE PASS MUSIC LEAK |publisher=YouTube|language=en|date=August 4, 2022|accessdate=September 20, 2024}}</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>{{cite|language=en|publisher=X|url=x.com/fishguy6564/status/1600536694528385024|title=On another note, all previous music prefetches that were leaked in the previous wave were removed. Unfortunately, no new prefetches were left in the game.|accessdarte=September 20, 2024|date=December 7, 2022}}</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, {{classic-link|Tour|Los Angeles Laps}} and {{classic|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} originally being planned for Waves 4 and 5 respectively, and {{Classic-link|Tour|Madrid Drive}}'s and {{Classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}}'s spots being swapped.

 ==Trivia==
-*The Booster Course Pass was in one instance erroneously referred to as the "'''''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pack'''" on the official webpage before the error was corrected.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220209231046/https://mariokart8.nintendo.com/booster-course-pass/ Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — Booster Course Pass for the Nintendo Switch™ system — Official Site]. ''Nintendo''. Archived from the [https://mariokart8.nintendo.com/booster-course-pass/ original] on February 9, 2022. Retrieved February 20, 2022.</ref>
+*The official North American webpage for the pass has had numerous errors over time:
-*The courses shown in the key artwork use official screenshots and in-game course thumbnails from ''Mario Kart Tour''.<ref>The key artwork shows screenshots of Paris Promenade (1) and Paris Promenade 3, despite Paris Promenade (1) is shown in the trailer. Another shown in the key artwork is an official screenshot of the Shy Guy (Ninja) in Ninja Hideaway, which originated from the Ninja Tour [[:File:MKT Ninja Hideaway Scene 2.jpg|in-game preview]] in ''Mario Kart Tour''.</ref>
+**The pass was once briefly referred to as the "'''''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pack'''''" on the site.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20220209231046/https://mariokart8.nintendo.com/booster-course-pass|title=''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe — Booster Course Pass'' for the Nintendo Switch™ system — Official Site|publisher=Nintendo|language=en-us|accessdate=February 20, 2022}}</ref>
+**{{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} was once briefly labeled as a 3DS course instead of DS.<ref>{{file link|MK8D 3DS Shroom Ridge.png}}</ref>
+**Following the full reveal of Wave 3 and until its release, the website erroneously stated that Wave 3 would be available on December 7, 2023 rather than 2022.<ref>{{file link|MK8D BCP NA Wave 3 error.png}}</ref>
+***Similarly, the British [[Nintendo eShop]] page for the ''Booster Course Pass'' erroneously states that Wave 3 released on December 8 rather than December 7.<ref>{{file link|MK8D British eShop BCP error.jpg}}</ref>
+**Nintendo of America's official Twitter account once erroneously used the British English name for {{classic-link|Wii|DK Summit}} in a tweet before deleting it and replacing it with the American English name.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20230309042502/https://twitter.com/awesomelink234/status/1632886068788842496|author=awesomelink234|publisher=X|title=Wait, DK's Snowboard Cross? Are they using the PAL name in the US version too? <nowiki>https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1632878921216655362</nowiki>|date=March 6, 2023|accessdate=September 20, 2024|language=en}}</ref>
+**{{classic-link|Wii|Rainbow Road}} used an image of {{classic-link|3DS|Rainbow Road}} instead, and {{classic-link|SNES|Bowser Castle 3}} was incorrectly listed as "Bowser's Castle 3".<ref>{{file link|Bcpwiirrerror.png}}</ref> Both errors have since been fixed on all versions of the webpage.<ref>{{file link|Bcpwiifixed.png}}</ref>
+*The trailers for the first three waves of the ''Booster Course Pass'' feature a voiceover in the North American versions (performed by voice actress {{wp|Luci Christian}}<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/lucilovesmic/status/1553212133403496449|author=Luci Christian|date=July 29, 2022|title=😊|publisher=X|language=en|accessdate=September 20, 2024}}</ref>), which is absent from the versions for other regions. The reveal trailers for later waves lack voiceovers in all regions.
+*The minimaps for all Wave 6 courses are darker in color compared to the rest of the courses in the ''Booster Course Pass''. {{classic-link|Wii|Rainbow Road}}'s minimap sprite also lacks the drop shadow that all other minimaps in the game have.
