Yes, it was datamined within Tour.Was this Yoshi's Island course rumored for Tour? I did not expect a new course to debut in MK8D, let alone a character!

Yep. It'll likely be a Sky High Sundae situation with them coming to 8 and Tour around the same time.
I guess Birdo is the only one for Wave 4, but 5 will get a ton of characters.According to Reddit, this on the Japanese website says "Wave 5 will add more characters from past Mario Kart games" or something to that effect
I cannot read Japanese, I'm just going by reddit. It could be alllll wrong and say nothing like that lol
Looks like future waves will have more character(s), plural
On an aside I always get a laugh out of Nintendo when they use freaking GCN era renders for PR lol. To this day, still using renders of characters from like 20 years ago. Birdo has new art since! Use it! Unless using Double Dash art was intentional
DIDDY KONG TO COINCIDE WITH A NEW DK YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRSTAccording to Reddit, this on the Japanese website says "Wave 5 will add more characters from past Mario Kart games" or something to that effect

Happy to have Birdo back, gives me hope they'll add even more.
As some wishful thinking though, I'd love if the reason they only presented this course means that more characters come with more track announcements for wave 4. I'd love even more veteran characters back sooner. Gimme Lakitu and Diddy!
I think the absolute shoe ins at this point are Petey and Pauline. Petey is getting his own home course and Pauline is a rising star in Mario. The Petey situation is so weird to me because a week ago I'd be "ehhh... Diddy first" but then the big man gets his own course which has a giant temple in his honor and he just seems guaranteed nowNow the debate begins over whether returning characters means only characters from the console Mario Karts or if that includes Tour or if that means all Mario Karts including the Arcade games
I'm in the middle, I don't see them not including Pauline and I definitely don't see them including Pac-Man as a racer.
Tour is considered a past game in MK8D, so I think it counts.Now the debate begins over whether returning characters means only characters from the console Mario Karts or if that includes Tour or if that means all Mario Karts including the Arcade games

My bad lmao, running on like 2 hours of sleep here. I meant Wiggler.
Petey is happening, his stage is coming back.5 more
diddy
dixie
funky
pauline
would be my top priorities
pixel dk jr or petey for the 5th slot?
The other track rumoured from the Tour files alongside Yoshi's Island was a DK themed track, sooo..Oh they gotta be saving Diddy and the other Kongs for a later update.
They just gotta.
Ah, cool. I hope we get at least 2 characters per wave from here on out.Yep. It'll likely be a Sky High Sundae situation with them coming to 8 and Tour around the same time.
Let's fucking go!Just to hammer in that Petey is absolutely being added lol
The latest course added to Tour is literally built around a giant temple dedicated to Petey with Petey statues all over and a massive engraving of his fat head at the top of the pyramid. This course is 100% getting into 8DX, with him and his fat head included
He's also treated like a KING in Tour, with excellent course coverage and an amazing item
Whoever they got making new Mario Kart content over there absolutely loves Petey
Considering this was just a tease, I wouldn't even be surprised to see another one or two besides birdo in Wave 4. Unless they specifically say they're the only one.According to Reddit, this on the Japanese website says "Wave 5 will add more characters from past Mario Kart games" or something to that effect

It will eventually. It'll probably be added to the game in 2 months or so, to line up with the next wave.
Why would there be? Has there been a suggestion they might?I wonder if this means that Pauline & Diddy will be added to later waves.
Yes, dataminers found clues for a YI track months ago. Tour version will very likely launch in the tour starting 4th of April because they have a history of substituting Yoshi with Jesus' crucifixion or something.
don't give me hopeā¦ he's my most wanted of the tour additionsJust to hammer in that Petey is absolutely being added lol

lol noNow can they sell the base game at least 50% off? I already paid full price plus the DLC on the Wii U, not about to pay all of that again just for the DLCs
I hope they eventually release this as an Ultimate Everything Edition on the Switch successor. I'd really like to have all of it on one kart/disc whatever is next with improved image quality.
Nintendo's GTA5. I am still rocking my Wii U version š
yes. you can't select them as your choice for matchmaking but other people can.Question - I only play MK8 online as I don't find it enjoyable single player. If I play online will the new maps have a chance of showing up if I don't own the DLC?
