Mercedes was only the beginning!

I’ts just been announced that Mario Kart 8 will be receiving more tracks, characters, and karts by way of DLC! Characters from outside the Super Mario universe will be joining for the first time ever!

There will be two DLC packs, both are set to retail for £7. That’s currently about $12 for us outside of Europe. There is no price set in stone, so don’t quote me on that!

Super Bike Bros anyone?

Pack one will release November of this year, it comes with Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, and Link. The second pack releases in May of 2015, that one comes with Villager, Isabelle, and Dry Bones Bowser.

Both packs come with an additional 4 vehicles and 8 courses each! Also, as a bonus for buying both packs, players will receive 8 different color Yoshis and Shy Guys that can be used immediately.

Ridin’ dirty all over again.

Oh, I almost forgot! Captain Falcon couldn’t make it this time around. However, the Blue Falcon kart will be made available in the first add on pack!
