Did someone order a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Trailer for Wave 6?! I sure hope so! Because we're live on my petition's latest update since the Halloween edition not too long ago to do just that!
Here is the long-awaited & largely-anticipated trailer for Wave 6, here at last: https://youtu.be/0-kASUEEXn8
Just when the Spooky Season has ended and I have posted my last update on Halloween (or early November 1st, according to the Change website itself), I woke up to see that the Wave 6 trailer had finally dropped on November 1st of 2023, and is said to be coming next Thursday on November 9th of 2023 (just in between the releases of Warioware: Move It! on November 3rd, and the Switch remake of Super Mario RPG, fully known as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, on November 17th).
As Zazu from The Lion King (one of my favorite movie & tv franchises, by the way) would say it best, "Impeccable timing, your majesty."
Anyway, Wave 6, coming on November 9th of 2023 (or November 8th, since Wave 4 & 5 released a bit earlier in some regions like some parts of United States of America), will consist of the following courses.
Rounding up the Booster Course Pass as a whole, we have...
Starting off the races in Wave 6 along with the drivers' engines, we have the Acorn Cup, consisting off...
- Tour Rome Avanti
- GCN DK Mountain
- Wii Daisy Circuit
- Pirahna Plant Cove (from Mario Kart Tour)
And rounding out Wave 6 as the entire Booster Course Pass as a whole, we have the final BCP Grand Prix - the Spiny Cup, and the following courses for it...
- Tour Madrid Drive (some expected to be in Acorn Cup, and Rome Avanti in Spiny Cup; but considering the museum of Mario Paintings, I think Madrid Drive makes for a good final City Course to kick off the Spiny Cup)
- 3DS Rosalina's Ice World (much to the surprise of all, and to the dismay of those wanting some other track like either DS Airship Fortress or even Mario Kart Tour's own Pirahna Plant Pipeline; I do apologize for you, my friends)
- SNES Bowser Castle 3 (the track that got the major overhaul in Tour, and now with Anti-Gravity mechanics and a rockin' heavy metal remix of its theme to boot)
- Wii Rainbow Road (all 100% in Anti-Gravity)
Very interesting yet exciting choices.
Rosalina's Ice World was the course the caught me off guard when it came to Wave 6.
Many were expecting Pirahna Plant Pipeline from Mario Kart Tour to be included in the Booster Course Pass, mainly to be preserved. But it looks like Pirahna Plant Pipeline is gonna be left behind in Mario Kart Tour.
We also got a sneak peak of what Pauline and Peachette wpuld look like in Motorsports Outfits when riding Bikes & ATVs; and they both look unique from Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina's motorsports outfits.
We also got some additional information regarding Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, courtesy of GameXplain's latest video.

Now that we know when Wave 6 comes, we'll be racing into those courses & with those new characters sooner than we all think.
The Booster Course Pass may soon be over, but until we get a new Mario Kart installment (likely for the next Nintendo Console), we can still express our desores on what else could be added into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, such as...
Even more new characters such as Dixie Kong, Nabbit, Hammer Bro (with Fire Bro, Boomerang Bro, and Ice Bro as Variants), King Bob-omb, Chargin' Chuck, Monty Mole, Poochy, etc.
Additional like Wild Wing, Flame Flyer, Royale, B-Dasher Mk. II, Poltergust 4000, Streamliner, Super Pipe Frame (prototype found unused in Wii U Mario Kart 8's files; desugn from Mario Kart 64 to Mario Kart 7), etc.
Additional wheels & gliders.
Additional Power-Ups like Mega Mushroon, Ice Flower, etc.
More Battle Maps like GCN Cookie Land, DS Twilight House, New York Minute B, Paris Promenade B, etc.
Additonal modes / features like a Mirrored 200cc Mode, Reverse Mode, etc.
And more.
So unless we get any updates for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe beyond the Booster Course Pass, OR unless we get the next Mario Kart installment (likely on the next Nintendo Console) with no new additions to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at all, this petition will remain open until further notice.
But all in all, I am happy that we'll be getting Wave 6 in about a week, so that we'll race in its courses & play as its new characters, especially the 1up Girl - Pauline.
Goodbye for now everyone, and keep on racing!
