Set on a large cruise ship, Daisy Cruiser first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash on the Gamecube. This track takes the characters on a tour of the cruise ship, starting from the deck and going through swimming pools and halls to get to the finish.

The track also has a peaceful background song to go with it, even though it may not match the chaotic nature of the game.

2) Moonview Highway

Moonview Highway is another track returning in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Wave 5 DLC. The track initially appeared in Mario Kart Wii, where it was famous for being notoriously difficult due to NPC vehicles on the highway that you must carefully avoid.

This track takes you on a highway in the nighttime and provides a scenic change from the bright, colorful tracks of the game. The track also features one of the best songs in the game, making the driving experience much more exciting.

3) Squeaky Clean Sprint

Squeaky Clean Sprint is the only original track released in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Wave 5 DLC and features an interesting concept. The track consists of an oversized bathroom making the characters look miniature in comparison.

This track makes the players drive through sinks, bathtubs, and bars of soap to get to the finish line. The map consists of multiple elevated levels featuring many twists and turns, making it one of the most exciting maps to try out in the newest DLC of the game.

2) Athens Dash
