Mario Kart 8 Booster Course's fourth wave smashes upon Switch

Start your engines; the fourth wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course pass is now available, with eight circuits to test and the return of the iconic Birdo. Though it's nearly unbelievable that there are two more waves left, let's see what wave number four has in store.

The greatest news, of course, is that Birdo—who has an incredible nine color options—is finally returning to the game as a driver! After a lengthy absence, Birdo has returned to their rightful place on our rosters.

Along with a brand-new course called Yoshi's Island, the eight courses in the fourth wave of DLC include titles from the GameCube, Wii, and GameBoy Advance eras. These are separated into two categories: the Boomerang Cup and the Fruit Cup.

Let's examine the Fruit Cup first. This part comprises the following stages: Yoshi's Island, GBA Riverside Park, Tour Amsterdam Drift, and Wii DK Summit. This music, which includes flying sections over the clouds, was influenced by Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, which debuted on the SNES.

Tour Bangkok Rush, DS Mario Circuit, GCN Waluigi Stadium, and Tour Singapore Speedway are the entrants for the Boomerang Cup. We can traverse the globe in all these Mario Kart Tour levels, so who needs a summer vacation?

As long as you possess Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack subscription, or the Booster Course pass, you may play the fourth wave of the pass right now.
