@WaterKirby1964

SNES - Donut Plains 3 (though I prefer the MK8 remake)
N64 - Bowser's Castle
GBA - Snow Land
GCN - Wario Colosseum
DS - DK Pass
Wii - DK's Snowboard Cross
3DS - Wario's Galleon
8 - Big Blue
Tour (only via BCP as I don't play the mobile game) - Sydney Sprint

@WaterKirby1964 This is a very tough one for me, as there's a ton of great courses from the series, but here goes nothing.

SNES: Mario Circuit 3
64: Royal Raceway
Super Circuit: Cheep Cheep Island
Double Dash: Daisy Cruiser
DS: Peach Gardens
Wii: Coconut Mall
7: Music Park
8: Dolphin Shoals
8 (DLC): Wild Woods
Tour (via BCP): New York Minute

So what courses were leaked for Wave 3? 🤔

@TowaHerschel7 The only wave 3 courses we know of are Merry Mountain and Peach Gardens.

@MarioLover92 I'm pretty sure others were leaked by dataminers.

@TowaHerschel7 Right, I am aware of the leaks, but I'd really rather wait for an official reveal trailer. I haven't looked at any leaked courses because I don't want to be potentially spoiled for the next wave.

@TowaHerschel7 Here is the leaked Wave 3:

London Loop (from Mario Kart Tour)
Peach Gardens (from Mario Kart DS)
Boo Lake or Broken Pier (from Mario Kart Super Circuit)
Rock Rock Mountain (from Mario Kart 7)
Berlin Byways (from Mario Kart Tour)
Waluigi Stadium (from Mario Kart Double Dash)
Merry Mountain (from Mario Kart Tour)
Rainbow Road (from Mario Kart 7)

It should also be noted that this leak happened way before Peach Gardens and Merry Mountain were officially announced. So this is very likely to be legit.

Awesome choices. Here are my favorite courses from each Mario Kart game:

SNES: Rainbow Road
N64: Choco Mountain
GBA: Snow Land
GCN: Daisy Cruiser
DS: Peach Gardens
Wii: Maple Treeway
3DS: Toad Circuit
8 Deluxe: Toad Harbor
Tour: Sydney Sprint

I hope we get Mushroom City from Double Dash.

GBA Boo Lake and DS Twilight House are confirmed for Tour:

Yep... this definitely confirms the rest of Wave 3

Lol yeah, that uh kinda sucks that it's gonna be that many Tour Tracks but eh whatever, they're new tracks regardless

I saw videos on Youtube of the full GBA Boo Lake in Tour and there's only a very slight simplification in the track design, nothing major like GBA Sky Garden. A very good remaster, would be cool if it appeared in the Booster Course Pass.

There's server maintenance in an hour!

Here we go again, I guess I'm staying up late in case wave 3 is shadow dropped.

@Grumblevolcano Do you think it’s a little early to be considered “Holiday season”? I would put money on around mid-November. I guess to me it just feels a bit early.

@StarPoint It is too early for holiday season (November 1st is considered the start) but oddly enough there's nothing happening for Halloween with Splatoon 3 (no Splatoween, no Big Run) so I was thinking maybe wave 3 may have moved forward a bit to fill the gap left on the multiplayer side of things.

@Grumblevolcano would be nice if it was maintenance for shadow drop of wave 3, but my speculation it's just prep for wave 3 when it comes in future that they won't need extra maintenance at that point or won't need big one instead.

@SViper Yeah, maintenance is over and nothing. That said, I did look back in this thread and there was maintenance a week before wave 2's launch. Given there's also Switch Sports maintenance and then on November 7th there's 9 hour eshop maintenance where you can't visit the eshop or download anything, it feels like next week could have a Direct.

I'd say December is best for Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass to be released
