3. Content of Booster Course Wave 1
Wave 1 introduced eight tracks, organized into two “cups” of four courses each. A notable design shift from the base game is the more stylized, less realistic art direction, with tracks retaining the gameplay mechanics of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (anti-gravity, gliding, underwater driving) but with simplified background details due to performance optimizations.
