History WMG / MarioKart8

And two of the characters revealed for Wave 6 will take their place on the character select screen to prevent the CSS from looking tacky with an imcomplete row.

** Jossed, it was DK Mountain that got included instead.

[[WMG: There will be a fictionalized UsefulNotes/NaziGermany stage.]]
* Since there is a DLC kart based on a Nazi-era race car, why not?
** Wouldn't that be a little...out of place in a Mario game? Even when you consider the crossover stages?

[[WMG: Mushroom City will return in the Booster Course Pass over Mushroom Bridge]]
With the addition of GCN Mushroom Bridge to ''Tour'' recently, it stands to reason that it'd be a leading candidate for the Booster Course Pass, alongside the commonly speculated GCN Daisy Cruiser and either GCN DK Mountain or GCN Dino Dino Jungle. However, with the way IDs work in ''Tour'', the ID gap previously including Mushroom Bridge shrank down. Based on the gap's growth patterns, there are another 2 courses still remaining within it, and the gap also follows Mushroom Bridge, instead of one course preceding it alphabetically and the other being GCN Waluigi Stadium. Based on assets present in the files of ''Tour'', GCN Peach Beach and GCN Sherbet Land can be ruled out, as they lack Cataquacks and Freezies respectively. Additionally, it is unclear if GCN Rainbow Road can return, as it would require it to reuse the cannon from Wii Rainbow Road, and for its falling Stars to be removed or exist in a capacity that would not make them a unique asset. Thus, it can be assumed that the extra course in question is either Mushroom City or Wario Colosseum - and seeing as Waluigi Stadium was added to the pass and not Wario Colosseum, this makes Mushroom City the most likely candidate. And given that Mushroom City is a more compelling and distinctly designed course, and one that has not yet returned, it very well may appear in the Booster Course Pass, in addition to being a prime candidate for inclusion in ''Tour''.

But it'll be the one from ''Film/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie''.
