Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe promises a unique and entertaining experience.

Maneuvering through water-filled pipes, dodging soap bubbles, and navigating around slippery tiles, players will face exciting challenges as they strive for victory.

Joining the ever-expanding roster of playable characters are three familiar faces. Petey Piranha, known for his appearance in Mario Kart: Double Dash, is making a return. Wiggler, the lovable caterpillar who debuted in Mario Kart 7, will also be hitting the track. Finally, Kamek, the mischievous Magikoopa seen in Mario Kart Tour, will make a grand entrance.
