Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Wave 3 takes off on December 7th

The next selection of eight reworked Mario Kart courses are officially slated to hit Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch in the near future as part of the Booster Course Pass Wave 3 content update.

Officially launching on December 7th, either a la carte (karte?) or as part of the paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Wave 3 is broken into a duo of Cups and will include a set of courses ranging from Mario Kart Game Boy Advance’s Boo Lake to mobile Mario Kart Tour’s Merry Mountain, and several others.  This wave will put the planned set of booster courses at 50% (24 of 48), with obviously many more to come.
