It does seem early, but we're having the end of Mario Kart Tour, the physical version of the DLC, and a tournament - all in the same week. That's a lot for a "random" week in October.

I expected it to be later, mostly because Wave 3 was in late November/early December if I remember correctly. But it had Merry Mountain to tie it into Christmas. They had to pace the waves over two years.
...but now it's whatever courses are left, they can release it whenever. I can't see them being pressed for time if they're adding even more characters.

@WoomyNNYes Wave 4 had a different setup:

  • February 8th - Direct announced Yoshi's Island for wave 4
  • February 14th - Switch news section starts covering previously released tracks starting with wave 2's Wii Mushroom Gorge
  • February 18th - Sky High Sundae
  • February 21st - Tour London Loop
  • February 25th - GBA Boo Lake
  • February 28th - Tour Berlin Byways
  • March 2nd - Full Wave 4 trailer released with March 9th release date

So pretty much they covered 3 wave 3 tracks before the full wave 4 trailer at a rate of 2 tracks per week. If they were to use that approach with the wave 5 tracks and Tour Athens Dash appeared tomorrow, it would line up with a wave 6 trailer next week.

Not daisy circuit I am in the minority when I say I genuinely don’t like daisy. She is as much a recolor as pink gold peach. I would of preferred toads factory.

The BCP is just Tour ports, and Toad's Factory was never remade in Tour. So unless it's added sometime in the next few weeks, Toad's Factory doesn't have a chance of making it in. Maybe in MK9.

Damn, it's been revealed that the Japan physical version only has waves 1-5 on the cart. Wave 6 is a download so it can release whenever.

Kind of defeats the purpose of it but I'm not surprised

The wait continues! Which is fine, I kind of prefer the hype. I can get bored of the new cups within a weekend.

@Grumblevolcano Told ya there's no BCP 2 coming. I suspect Nintendo is now solely focused on the long awaited successor to MK 8. Will probably release a year or two after the Switch 2(or whatever it's gonna be called) launches.
