Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC pass will get Yoshi Island circuit and Birdo this spring

Nintendo is adding a new Yoshi Island track to the paid Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass. The company is also introducing Birdo as a playable character. The additions are part of Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass, due this spring.

Nintendo confirms during his Direct presentation Birdo will be added to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC. It’s the first time Nintendo has added a new playable character as part of that DLC pass. Birdo was previously playable in Mario Kart Double Dash for the GameCube and the Mario Kart games that followed. However, the character was missing from Mario Kart 8.

Just like previous generations, the game will have eight new circuits with Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass, divided over two different cups. The first of these is Yoshi Circuit, as can be seen in a new trailer. This concerns a completely new circuit. It is not known what the other seven circuits will be. In previous waves, in addition to new circuits, circuits from older games were often added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. In previous releases, the game received Coconut Mall, Mushroom Gorge and Waluigi Pinball.
