More characters heading to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Who would you like to see?
Looks like Nintendo isn’t done with the roster for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!
Following the game’s update to Version 2.3.0, the character select screen has received a revamp. As you can see above, there are 5 question marks on the screen, which certainly indicates that some more familiar faces will be making their way to the game before the Booster Course Pass is complete.
What we’re not sure of is if there will be 4 or 5 more characters, as that final option could always be a randomizer. Regardless, this screen makes it clear as day that a few more racers are going to be joining the fun.

Diddy Kong (I constantly forget he’s not in already!)
Dixie Kong
Funky Kong
Pauline
Hammer Bro
Monty Mole
Nabbit
Peachette (please, God no)
Petey Piranha
King Bob-omb
Chargin’ Chuck
…and a buttload of costume variants
It’ll probably be among those—which, to be fair, has plenty of great picks. You’ll get your due someday, Kamek.

14d agoSteady on with the predictions. The trailer said it’d be returning characters. So characters that have already been in previous Mario Kart games. So characters like Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, ROB, Wiggler, etc.
