Well folks, I'm now starting to have a feeling that my speculations may end up being wrong.

As of July 28th, we finally got our first look into Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass. Here are links to Nintendo's trailer for the Wave, plus gameplay footage & the music for each track.

This next wave, coming August 4th, will add the following tracks to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. 

Turnip Cup:
- Tour New York Minute (Mario Kart Tour)

- SNES Mario Circuit 3 (Super Mario Kart)

- N64 Kalimari Desert (Mario Kart 64)

- DS Waluigi Pinball (Mario Kart DS)

Propeller Cup:
- Tour Sydney Sprint (Mario Kart Tour)

- GBA Snow Land (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)

- Wii Mushroom Gorge (Mario Kart Wii)

- Sky-High Sundae (A New Anti-Gravity track, but most likely was supposed to be for Mario Kart Tour, despite not having the "Tour" label; could be wrong on that, though)

As much as I am surprised & excited to see those tracks coming soon, I am still not pleased that no new characters like Pauline, vehicles like Wild Wing, wheels, gliders, power-ups like Ice Flower & Mega Mushroom, & other content are still not being added into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

This is very troubling because should Mario Kart Tour ever discontinue like Dr. Mario World did, all of its content will be gone UNLESS Nintendo does the best & wisest thing by preserving most or all of Tour's content (specifically the characters, vehicles, wheels, gliders, power-ups, & even character alternates like Party Time Pauline) into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

But worst of all, I now have the bad feeling that Wave 2 for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course pass will all that we'll be having for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe during Mario Kart's 30th Anniversary this August, and nothing else...

...UNLESS Nintendo does the right thing by changing they're minds & rightfully adding characters, vehicle, wheels, gliders, power-ups, & other content (especially from Mario Kart Tour) into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe during that month, sometime during the remainder of this year, or even during next year - 2023.

But I cannot do this alone. I need your help as well. You can do so by...

A.) Signing & sharing my petition (40 signers so far): https://www.change.org/p/more-dlc-racers-and-vehicles-for-mario-kart-8-deluxe

B.) Spreading the word to everyone about how Nintendo needs to add more characters, vehicles, wheels, gliders, power-ups, & other content (especially from Mario Kart Tour) into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe; using any form of communication and/or social media you can.

And C.) Talk about said desires to Nintendo themselves via their Support Page / Customer Service in the "Contact Us" menu of their Website. Whatever method the website offers to you that you want to use is up to you.

And even if nothing else besides Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass happens in August, aka: the month of Mario Kart's 30th Anniversary, the Booster Course Pass' got until the end of 2023 to be finished, so until that times, we must never give up on our goal to tell Nintendo that characters, vehicles, wheels, gliders, power-ups, & other content, especially from Mario Kart Tour, needs to be added into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. All that content, combined with the Booster Course Pass, will rightfully cement Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's title as the "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" of the Mario Kart Series.

Good luck, keep racing, and help me spread the word in any way you can.
