MARIO KART 8 DELUXE BOOSTER COURSE PASS

Thanks to Nintendo for gearing me up for MARIO KART 8 DELUXE by providing me with the video game, its Booster Course Pass DLC and a racing jacket to show off my being a Nintendo Dad. A bunch of dad bloggers including myself got together courtesy of Nintendo to play with the Booster Course Pass DLC in an online Grand Prix. It was a crash course for me in learning to play the game! 

The Booster Course Pass opens up 48 more courses beyond what are available on the base Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game for Nintendo Switch as a paid DLC. It also unlocks new playable characters to race with and 16 new Mii racing suits for customizing character appearances.

What is a DLC? Downloadable content that can expand upon the storylines and challenges of an already released video game. DLC normally involve purchasing a subscription for future updates to a video game or just buying an update outright like the case in the Booster Course Pass for MARIO KART 8 DELUXE. Sometimes DLC are also made available for free too as a perk for having a membership in a paid online service like Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

Highlights of the Booster Course Pass DLC include the Yoshi’s Island course—inspired by the Super Mario World™ 2: Yoshi’s Island™ game—and returning favorites like DS Waluigi Pinball, GCN Daisy Cruiser, Wii DK Summit, and Wii Rainbow Road. Whether you're coasting through the flowery hills or clinging to the rainbow edges, you're in for a wild ride! 

By downloading the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC, you can unlock 8 more characters to use in all modes! Birdo, Petey Piranha, Kamek, Wiggler, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline, and Peachette are all ready to race to the finish.

   

The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC costs $24.99 and requires ownership of the MARIO KART 8 DELUXE video game to utilize its features. Racers who have an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership though have access to all of the DLC courses, characters, and Mii racing suits at no additional cost while their membership is active.

With MARIO KART 8 DELUXE burn rubber across Mushroom Kingdom raceways—underwater, in the sky, upside-down in zero-g, and past the finish—for the win! Get revved up for local multiplayer, online in-game tournaments, a revamped battle mode, and more! Are you ready to race?!
