Mario Kart 8 is the most purchased video game on the Nintendo Switch. It is no surprise either because it is easily accessible, it is simple, and it is fun for all ages. Better still, Nintendo announced they're releasing a lot of new content for Mario Kart 8 with waves of DLC. So far the game has received 5 waves of content, with the 6th set to launch very soon, and here's everything we know about that next DLC release.
Latest News & Leaks
Just below we'll keep you updated on all the latest news, leaks, and goings on:
Wave 6 is almost here. Eight additional courses and four new characters come to the final Wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass on November 9.
Whilst we wait twiddling our thumbs, here's some speculation on when we might see Wave 6 release from YouTuber Swiftjar.
TLDR: It's looking like either November 23 or November 30.
During today's Nintendo Direct we got confirmation of our first details for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Couse Pass Wave 6. The new trailer starts at 01:00:47.
The final wave is adding a new track in the form of Daisy Circuit from the Nintendo Wii as well as the following new racers:

With only one more DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass, it's time to start predicting what sort of maps and racers we can expect to see join the game.
According to GameXplain "we can pinpoint quite a lot" thanks to datamines and Tour content.

New Characters Coming With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 6
UPDATE - Wave 6 is confirmed to include Diddy Kong is from Mario Kart: Double Dash, Funky Kong is from Mario Kart Wii, and Pauline and Peachette are from Mario Kart Tour.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 5 is now out, and it added THREE brand new characters to the game in Kamek, Petey Piranha, and Wiggler. This follows the addition of Birdo in Wave 4.
However, as fans noticed, the Wave 4 Update also added five more mystery character slots to the character select screen.
It would suggest we'll see another 2 characters added to the game for the final Wave 6 DLC. For now though, there are no suggestions as to which characters could be added to the game.
