The tracks are playable locally or in Friends and Rivals races from today. They’ll then be added to the Random pool of courses in Global & Regional online races from March 22.

Today’s tracks in Wave 1, along with their original games they’re from, are as follows:

Golden Dash Cup

  • Paris Promenade (Mario Kart Tour)
  • Toad Circuit (Mario Kart 7)
  • Choco Mountain (Mario Kart 64)
  • Coconut Mall (Mario Kart Wii)

Lucky Cat Cup

  • Tokyo Blur (Mario Kart Tour)
  • Shroom Ridge (Mario Kart DS)
  • Sky Garden (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)
  • Ninja Hideaway (Mario Kart Tour)

There’ll be five more waves after this one, adding a collective 40 more additional courses. Nintendo say all six waves will be out by the end of 2023. The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass is available now from the Nintendo eShop. Alternatively, you can find it included with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.
