UPDATE: Higher quality images now available! New images as well! Thanks Vooks!
Players can pre-purchase the upcoming DLC after tomorrow’s update! Each pack will run you $7.99, but the combo pack comes at a cool $11.99. Buying both packs early will get you eight different color skins for both Yoshi and Shy Guy, all of which can be used immediately.
Two DLC packs for Mario Kart 8 have been announced, thanks to a listing on Nintendo’s UK online store. Each pack is set to contain three new characters, eight courses, and four vehicles. Most notably, some of these characters and tracks will revolve around other Nintendo series, like The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing! Take a look at the full store listing after the images:
Each Add On Content pack will contain two new cups, each with four courses, which, in total, increases the number of available courses by 50 percent. The Add On Content packs include classics like Wario’s Gold Mine from Mario Kart Wii, as well as new courses, some taking place in the worlds of The Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing. New vehicles will also arrive with each pack, including the Blue Falcon kart representing the F-Zero franchise in the first AOC pack.
Mario Kart 8 Pack 1 – Released: November 2014
Pack 1 includes:
- 3 Characters: Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Link
- 4 Vehicles
- 8 Courses
Mario Kart 8 Pack 2 – Released: May 2015
Pack 2 includes:

As a bonus for purchasing both packs – as a bundle or separately – you can get eight different-coloured Yoshis and eight different-coloured Shy Guys that can be used right away.

I’ve seen this in youtube, the guy who wrote this deserves 100 AWARDS: “I think there will be more DLC added to the game. At least tracks. Here’s why. When we got our first sneak peak at the DLC cup icons. We seen 4 Cups. The Yoshi Egg Cup (which has been confirmed) and 3 other cups that have not. Being the Shine Sprite Cup, Boo Ghost Cup, and the Blue shell cup. Now is there a possibility that these cups were changed to The Cat bell cup, Triforce Cup, and Animal Crossing Cup? Yes. But here’s another theory. These… Read more »
No Birdo = A sad gamer
I’d love it! But… unless we replace Plessie!
I’d probably replace Bowser Jr. with Birdo tbh, just because we already have enough Koopas in this game 😛
I’d also replace Plessie with Sprixie Princess (which could come with all the versions in a palette swap), just because I love the latter’s design!
But bowser jr is awsome 🙁
But then again, so are most of the other Koopalings 😉
😛 wanna chat on chatzy?
Sprixies are kinda small don’t ya think?
Nintendo just could make them bigger,or the karts smaller lol
What Mariofan3110 said. I mean if they could fit Honey Queen into a kart, then anything’s possible 🙂
You can use a pink yoshi to replace she for now! Even if it is not the same thing …
My gosh If there was a Kirby Cup I would probably die from sheer joy
Boy, would I love these!
Change Plessie, and it’ll be a dream come true
🙂
I agree in everything except for a few things…
– No Birdo: Replace Plessie and put in Birdo!
– For Boo Ghost Cup, get rid of Pokemon Cup and Pikachu and put in either Kamek or Dry Bones!
-I don’t think Star Fox will be in MK8. :/
1- Agree!
2- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO A Another Franchise Character needs to be present so: Get rid of E.Gadd and put Kamek or Dry Bones! 🙂
3- Starfox with his Landmaster :p
I buyed the dlc,i love the yoshi colors!
Bought, not buyed.
Oops.ok
lol tbh i thought it was ‘buyed’ too XD and we both speak the same language
Oh lol
Wario gold mine is back!
The race on the tree makes me remember of Wii Maple Treeway! I love it!
I think thats Faron Woods! I’m not sure but!
Hopefully they make a Donkey Kong dlc pack with Dixie,Diddy,Funky kong and King K.rool. along with a track based on donkey kong tropical freeze!
I totally agree, and they would most likely add Cranky Kong for if they w
are trying to base it on Tropical Freeze . And maybe a Bowser minion pack with Bowser Jr., Kamek, Hammer Bro., Boom Boom, and Pom Pom. It would also come with Bowser’s car from SP3DW.
does anyone know how to add the map? I have the update but on the gamepad there is no map…
Minus or Plus Button i think! Impadude said it somewhere! 😉
minus btton
Did anyone notice the Red Excitebike racer in the background of what seems to be an excitebike track?
Me! Maybe Exitebikers could be obsticles?!
I’d be really cool if the Excitebikers were actually biking along the track as obstacles!
Wouldn’t it be awesome if they brought back Items for specific characters:Tanooki Mario (Leaf),Cat Peach (Cat Bell) etc.
That’s what I was thinking for Tanooki Mario.
Leaf: Always disappears when you more need it.
Just downloaded it! Wanted to share some stats:
Wins – 901
Losses – 653
Balloons Popped – 99
Own Balloons Popped – 71
(Hypes that he’s better than Toblet xD)
Drifts – 14,859 O.o
Saved By Lakitu – 262 (lol)
It’s an “Animal Crossover”!! For some reason, I find that funny.
This isnt even Mario Kart anymore. -.-
If U don’t like it, don’t buy the DLC. Simples.
hey,don’t use my name! people will think it was me that written that
ur rosie, and she’s a guest, so don’t worry!
true,but one time when I was Toadette fangirl, a guest used my name and Luigiguy567 though it was me faking as a guest.
So I prefer someone not using my name. and also, it’s rather ironic a Rosalina fan complain of MK8,since Rosalina and her baby form are playable.
Ikr? I’ll be in chatzy if u want to talk
I’m bored now. I will go to chatzy and you?
I’m there
And of course I lose Gaming Devices for 2-4 weeks….. Y ME GOD??????!!!!!!!!!!
Choose another 7 retro tracks for dlc!
My list :
Neo Bowser City
Ribbon Road
Dk Summit
Bowser castle (GCN)
Shroom Ridge
Ghost Valley 3
Toad Factory
-(N64) Wario Stadium
-(GBA) Sunset Wilds
-(GCN) Bowser’s Castle
-(DS) Rainbow Road
-(Wii) DK Summit
-(3DS) Neo Bowser City
-(3DS) Shy Guy Bazaar
And a bonus to equal 8, (3DS) Rosalina’s Ice World
4 wario tracks I think not, but Sunset Wilds it’s cool!
I don’t see 4???
In total. Mount Wario,Wario stadium(ds),Wario Gold Mine and your Wario stadium(N64)
Yup, that’s what I thought. PS: Wario’s Gold Mine is dlc. :/
Now I got rid of Rosalina’s Ice World because of Wario’s Gold Mine. 😛
I might not be the first one to mention this, but…
I just noticed in the picture with a close-up on Tanooki Mario, Luigi is giving him the infamous death-stare. xD
Dry Bowser too. LOL
Maybe in the future Toad will have alternate colored caps!
Birdo will have too, if she confirmed!
That’s what I thought will happen if there will be more dlc in the future! ;D
Has anyone noticed this Billboard in N64 Royal Raceway with Birdo on it. This may hint her for the Future:
