With only five available character slots in the current Booster Course Pass, it appears that not all these characters will be added unless another form of DLC is announced at a later time. Bond's enemies also responded to his presence with comparatively sophisticated AI: some might return fire toward the character, while others would scatter. This seemingly disputes a previous Mario Kart 8 Deluxe character leak which listed 14 different characters as DLC including Dixie Kong, King Bob-omb, Pauline, and Kamek.

There are now five empty character slots underneath Birdo, confirming that at least five new characters will be added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With today's release of Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass, the updated character select screen has given some insight into these new characters. RELATED: Mario Kart 8 Fan Creates Playable Custom Track Based on Zelda: Ocarina of Time After the most recent Nintendo Direct showed that Birdo would be coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe alongside a new course based on Yoshi's Island, fans had more reason than ever to be excited about the prospect of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe getting more characters from previous Mario Kart games or brand new characters altogether. Ever since Birdo was announced as a new character last month, many have speculated what other new characters, if any, would be coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.Īfter nearly four years of fans wondering if more courses and characters would be added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Booster Course Pass was announced to be bringing 48 courses to the game across six waves.
