Nintendo has announced the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Set, which is a new retail release for the game. Fans can pick it up on October 6, 2023.
This is another odd release from Nintendo as it’s not a true physical release. It seems the original Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game is included, but the Booster Course Pass will be a download content. On the bright side, you’ll get a few physical goodies here – namely a set of four pins, set of five art cards (double sided) and set of ten sticker sheets.
