Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has a massive 96 courses to play.

Wave 6 is coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and it will add eight more courses to the popular racer in two new cups.

The first new cup is the Acorn Cup and includes two new courses from the mobile game Mario Kart Tour.

Rome Avanti, and Piranha Plant Cover come from the mobile game, which are usually the weaker courses from the waves.

However, it does include one of the most popular courses from the entire series, DK Mountain from Mario Kart Double Dash.
