The next wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC is set to release this week, and when it does, the Nintendo Switch game will receive eight new tracks and a new driver in the form of Birdo. Nintendo has already indicated that more drivers will be added in the future, and it seems many may have been revealed thanks to a file leak shared on Twitter by user @teebeeYT. If the list is accurate, several drivers from Mario Kart Tour will be added in the future, including some fan favorite characters. The full list includes:

King Bob-omb
Petey Piranha
Hammer Bro
Chargin Chuck
Monty Mole
Diddy Kong
Dixie Kong
Funky Kong
SNES Mario
Kamek
Pauline
Nabbit

Over the last year, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has been steadily adding new content, much of which debuted in Mario Kart Tour. The mobile Mario Kart game had a number of exclusive tracks that had never appeared in a console game before, and that goes for drivers, as well. It would make a lot of sense for Nintendo to add some of these characters to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but readers should keep in mind that this is just a rumor for now, and this should be taken this with a grain of salt until we get an official announcement.
