Just when Nintendo fans felt they might have mastered every Mario Kart course, 48 new tracks have been announced.
Mario Kart 8 is an insanely popular racing game on the Nintendo Switch. It has over 43 million copies sold thus far. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a remake of Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U, and the refreshed classic is now getting 48 additional tracks taken from previous games in the Mario Kart series in the form of the Booster Course Pass DLC.
