Accessing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 3 Legally and Ethically

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an avid Mario Kart fan and gaming content creator, I‘m thrilled for the release of Wave 3 on December 7th, 2022! Many fans are wondering about accessing the new tracks. While I cannot condone illegal downloading, here is what you need to know about getting Wave 3 ethically.

How to Download Wave 3

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership ($49.99 annually), the Wave 3 DLC will automatically become available to you as part of the subscription on December 7th. Simply update Mario Kart 8 Deluxe via the eShop once the tracks launch.

You can also purchase the Booster Course Pass one-time DLC for $24.99. On or after December 7th, open the eShop, go to your Library, select Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, choose Nintendo Switch Online, and redownload the Booster Course Pass to access Wave 3.

Why Support Official Releases?

As an advocate for supporting developers and respecting intellectual property, I only recommend accessing content through legal means. When we circumvent official channels, artists and programmers miss out on compensation for their creativity and hard work. I believe strongly in rewarding quality work so studios feel empowered to take risks and create excellent gaming experiences. ¡Piracy only serves to limit innovation.

My History With Mario Kart

The Mario Kart franchise has delighted me since childhood when I first discovered Super Mario Kart on the SNES. I‘ve logged countless exhilarating hours power-sliding around tracks, battling for first through Spiny Shell explosions of chaos. Wave 3 rekindles those memories for me as a lifelong fan. Having previewed the courses early as press, I can confirm seasoned players and newcomers alike will be awestruck. Reconnecting with classic stages like Peach Gardens and Waluigi Pinball makes this one of the most nostalgic Mario Kart releases yet! I cannot wait to cover every detail and strategy as media.

Expert Predictions and Hot Takes

  • With 48 remastered courses slated for the Booster Course Pass ($25 total), Nintendo is providing massive value. I anticipate sales equaling or exceeding Mario Kart 8 Deluxe‘s staggering 38+ million copies sold when counting bundles.

  • Online play will surge when Wave 3 drops. For a limited time, all players can access courses they haven‘t purchased through multiplayer – ingenious marketing to hook new buyers!

  • We are witnessing a Mario Kart renaissance. This DLC lengthens an already unmatched multiplayer lifespan. Combined with the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe player base, upcoming courses should stay competition-viable for 3-5+ years locally and online.

  • Will this be the final Mario Kart for Switch? I theorize one more title using a new engine before next-gen. Tour‘s success on mobile proves the IP‘s monumental earning potential. Soon 800+ courses could be seamlessly integrated between platforms and services!

Let‘s tear up the track legally on December 7th! Leave your thoughts in the comments, and follow me for expert Mario Kart coverage and ethical gaming perspectives. Thanks for reading!
