Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass if I made it

If I was the sole person designing the Pass and I was limited to Tour's lineup of courses, this is what I'd put. You can probably see a lot of personal bias here lol. I tried to give it a more even spread of Tour courses, putting four each in Waves 1 and 2 instead of letting 2023 exclusively have the quadruple-Tour Waves. I also limited myself to what courses could have gone in which Waves, by looking at Tour's internal render dates and ID gaps to see the earliest they could've technically shown up.

Each of the six waves features two cups, each with four courses, for eight courses per wave. There are two courses each from Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, three courses each from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, four courses from Mario Kart DS, five courses from Mario Kart 7, eight courses from Mario Kart Wii, and 21 courses from Mario Kart Tour. Excluding the Tour courses, GBA Boo Lake, DS Shroom Ridge, and Wii Dry Dry Ruins are the only classic courses in the Booster Course Pass that had not previously appeared as a classic course in another game, while Sky-High Sundae, Yoshi's Island, and Squeaky Clean Sprint are the only courses to make their series debut in the pass.

Courses from Mario Kart Tour not based on real-life cities lack the "Tour" prefix, regardless of whether they made their first appearance in the Booster Course Pass or Tour. In the Tencent release of the DLC in Mainland China, all courses from Mario Kart Tour lack the "Tour" prefix, likely due to Mario Kart Tour's unavailability from app distribution platforms in Mainland China.

In the British English version of the pass, 3DS Rock Rock Mountain and Wii DK Summit are known as 3DS Alpine Pass and Wii DK's Snowboard Cross respectively, as was the case in the British English versions of their original appearances. However, courses that had different names between European French and Canadian French in previous games instead use their European French names in the pass in both versions.
