The second wave of the booster route pass for the fun racer Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has just gone live. The new update not only includes eight new routes, there was also a small innovation for one of the routes from the first wave, which should make many fans happy and at the same time cause a lot of frustration.

Everything about the booster route pass

By the end of 2023 we will get a total of 48 tracks for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the booster track pass.

You can also get all the information about the booster pass in our overview and Tobi’s test of the first DLC wave can be found here.

What do you think of the innovation on the coconut promenade? Is it exactly what you want, or is it too much of a good thing?
