The first wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass brings a healthy dose of revamped nostaligia with an excellent transition to HD for many tracks previously only available on handheld devices, like Mario Kart Tour. The price seems steep at first, but that’s because you’re paying upfront for 48 tracks, to be released over the next 18 months. It’s definitely worth picking the pass up now and enjoying each release as they come!

Critic reviews
- For me, though, the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pack has been a wonderful reminder of how much I love this game. That on its own makes it well worth the price of admission, especially when it promises to keep giving me reasons to come back for most of the next two years. Hopefully, I’ll see you on the track.
- 7.0Overall, I think these eight tracks are really effective in preparing players for what to expect with the Booster Course Pass. Some are old favorites, others are finally getting a chance to be played the proper way. They may not feature the same radiant art style as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s core tracklist, but they look good. And some, dare I say, even look great.
- 7.0Overall, Wave 1 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass is enjoyable and gives a modern classic a thrilling new spark of life. After blasting through the race classes, it's likely the itch will be back and we'll be back in the online lobbies once again, eagerly awaiting the five further waves to come between now and the end of 2023. That's the key takeaway we took early on while sampling the Booster Course Pass — you can't go far wrong with 'more Mario Kart'.
- 7.0The lack of anti-grav and some questionable graphical decisions also mount up to disappointment and it is interesting to see if Nintendo are going to address this with the remaining 40 courses. However, in the grand scheme of things it is great to have new courses to race on and is certainly thoroughly recommended for all Mario Kart fans.
- 8.0Pierwszy zestaw tras z Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass jest dobrym przykładem, jak Japończycy mogą dobrze i bezpiecznie rozwijać sprzedażowy hit. Firma na pewno nie narzeka na brak zainteresowania i oby to był tylko wstęp do pełnej kontynuacji.
