Nintendo confirms that more returning characters will come to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in future waves

Neatly tucked away in Nintendo’s recent press release is a little nugget of information which will surely please Mario Kart 8 Deluxe owners. Yesterday we found out that Birdo, who first appeared in the GameCube Mario Kart game, Mario Kart: Double Dash, will be arriving in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of Booster Course Pass Wave Four, which is due out this spring. Birdo is the first new character to be introduced in the Booster Course Pass and it turns out that she won’t be the last. The official press release mentions that “returning characters from the Mario Kart series will be added in future waves.” The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass is available now as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription or you can purchase it separately via the Nintendo eShop.
