One of the most interesting things to note from this list is that alarge amount of the courses are from the mobile gameMario Kart Tour. This could be because many of the courses translate to regularMario Kart 8 Deluxegameplay, or to further promote the game and encourage more players to check it out. These upcoming courses join the eight that were included in the first wave:
The courses included in the first wave are from a large variety of games, with two from handheld games, two from console games includingCoconut Mall fromMario Kart Wii, three fromMario Kart Tour, as well as a brand new original course that has never been seen in a previous game. This could indicate that at least one original course will be included in each of the waves, giving a potential total of six original courses. Adding the recently released and leaked courses together means that 21 of them are currently known which also means that 27 courses have yet to be revealed or leaked.
