MARIO KART 8 DELUXE: NEW PLAYABLE TRACKS EVEN WITHOUT DLC
During the last Nintendo Direct, the announcement of the arrival of 48 historic tracks to Mario Kart 8: Deluxe took fans of the Nintendo-branded racing saga by surprise. As you already know, the amount of content will be offered in stages, through various DLCs whose release will end generically "at the end of 2023". Here is the full list of tracks that will be part of Pack 1 of Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, which will be released on March 18, 2022:
Golden Shot Trophy
Paris Promenade: From Mario Kart Tour
Toad Circuit: From Mario Kart 7
Chococanyon: From Mario Kart 64
Exit Coconut: From Mario Kart Wii
Lucky Cat Trophy
Tokyo Neon: From Mario Kart Tour
Mushroom Hills: from Mario Kart DS
Cloud Garden: from Mario Kart: Super Circuit

In addition to the list of tracks that will be coming to the game via DLC, Nintendo has also provided a piece of information that the community will surely appreciate. It states that "the tracks in Pack 1 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Extra Pass will be playable locally and online starting March 18 in Friends and Opponents mode, even if only one player has the Extra Pass or has access to it through a Nintendo Switch Online + Extra Pass subscription." Starting March 22, Pack 1 routes will also appear in the random selection of global or regional races against online opponents."
