Mario Kart 8 leak reveals almost all future DLC racetracks
The second wave of the Track Booster Pass DLC just went live with the new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update. However, resourceful fans have already found references to almost all upcoming DLC tracks in the game’s code.
These are the possible upcoming DLC tracks for MK8
Although the games themselves are not found in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe code, the new update 2.1.0 seems to have included music preview files for upcoming DLC tracks in the game. These are usually used to start a song in advance while the game loads the full track in the background.
Twitter user Fishguy6564 broke down which tracks go with which routes:

The routes marked with a question mark are still unknown, these could be completely new routes. This would align with an older leak by Fishguy6564, who had already correctly predicted the new Ice Cream Escapade route.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe introduces the second wave of the Booster Track Pass
How likely is that? These are of course not officially confirmed leaks, so enjoy the whole thing with caution. But Fishguy6564 has been right in the past. Thus, the user correctly predicted the names of the upcoming cups and the original platforms of the second wave DLC tracks.
Everything you need to know about the route pass
The Booster Track Pass is a paid DLC that brings remastered tracks from old parts of the Mario Kart series and all-new tracks to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
- Price: 24.99 euros; also included in the Switch Online Expansion Pass
- So far two waves are available, four more waves will follow by the end of 2023
The pass can be purchased separately and is also part of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass. You need the main game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to play the DLC, it is not a standalone expansion. All information about the route pass is available in the GamePro overview.
