Where has that time gone? If you&#8217;ve been playing it since the early days, you&#8217;ve probably raced on every track and won just about every cup numerous times over by now. And while you might be thinking it&#8217;s time to hang up those racing gloves until the next instalment, there&#8217;s a new good reason why it&#8217;ll be worth taking Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for another spin&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo revealed during its February 2022 Direct that Mario Kart 8 will be receiving a huge DLC update with the Booster Course Pass. Some Nintendo fans are probably disappointed that the announcement wasn&#8217;t Mario Kart 9, but 8 has been one of the bestselling Switch games of all time, so it&#8217;s not surprising that a new game isn&#8217;t coming out just yet. Fans should still be excited, however, as the Booster Pass is going to add 48 remastered courses from Super Nintendo, GameBoy Advance, Gamecube, N64, DS, Wii, 3DS, and Mario Kart Tour versions of the game. That&#8217;s more than enough new content to keep fans going until Mario Kart 9 is announced.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/mario-kart-8-deluxe-booster-course-pass\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/mario-kart-8-deluxe-booster-course-pass\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mario Kart 8 came out on Wii U all the way back in 2014 and re-launched almost five years ago on Nintendo Switch.
