Rumor: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 2 Datamine may reveal future DLC tracks

Well, it looks like there might be else leak for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Tour Ticket.

After the latest release of Wave 2, it seems that data experts have been able to identify the new courses with the help of “music preview files” included in the latest Update version 2.1.0.

Nintendo accidentally left too many music preview files in the 2.1.0 update, allowing us to select several unreleased courses!

What is a Music Preview File? Since loading a full music file from the ROM may take some time, a separate “prefetch” file is created from the first ~1s which can be preloaded into memory. This prefetch runs while the full file is loaded.

Unfortunately for Nintendo, while they deleted the entire songs of the unreleased courses from the ROM, they accidentally left some prefetch files. (It is stored in a separate place.)

It is possible to select multiple courses based on their first ~1s of music!
