Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: How Many DLC Characters Will Join the Exciting Races?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the game's fourth wave of the Booster Course Pass – and the announcement of a brand new character, Birdo. Speculation has been rife as to how many more characters, if any, would be available as part of the DLC, and the latest update has given fans an indication as to how many new characters will be available.

The updated character select screen now includes five empty slots beneath Birdo, confirming that at least five more characters will be added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This news has been welcomed by fans of the game, who had previously speculated on the potential availability of characters, including Dixie Kong, King Bob-omb, Pauline, and Kamek. However, not all of these characters will be available unless another form of DLC is released.

Since the Booster Course Pass announcement, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe players have been excited by the prospect of additional characters and courses being added to the game. This latest update has given fans more reason to be hopeful, and speculation has been rife over who the five new characters may be. Popular requests have included the likes of Funky Kong, R.O.B., Petey Piranha, and Diddy Kong, all of whom appeared in previous Mario Kart games. 

Including more characters and courses to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe via the Booster Course Pass represents a significant shift for Nintendo Switch Online and the Expansion Pack, which seek to make the game's content more accessible. The final wave of the Booster Course Pass will be released later this year and will provide players with a range of characters and courses, and with the fifth wave already confirmed to include five new characters, fans of the game will soon have the chance to experience a host of new characters and courses.

In conclusion, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Booster Course Pass and the chance to add more characters and courses to the game. The release of the fourth wave of the Booster Course Pass has given fans a glimpse at the number of new characters that will be added. With the final wave soon to be released, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe players can look forward to experiencing a range of new characters and courses, and the anticipation over the fifth wave is sure to continue to build.
