Nintendo released the teaser video for the second DLC pack of Mario Kart 8, a week ahead of the DLC's scheduled release.

Both Nintendo of UK and Nintendo of Japan released their versions of the teaser video, showing what players should look forward to in terms of new karts and tracks for the game.

The video from the British arm of the game company showed the upcoming courses that will be included in the DLC, divided into two cups. It includes the Baby Park from Mario Kart: Double Dash (GameCube), Cheese Land from Mario Kart: Super Circuit (GBA), Ribbon Road from Mario Kart: Super Circuit (GBA), and Koopa City from Mario Kart 7 (3DS) for the Retro cup. On the other hand, the new cup contains four different track such as Wild Woods, Super Bell Subway, F-Zero's Big Blue as well as Animal Crossing.

Meanwhile, the Japanese video showed an extended look at Baby Park, which is one of the courses taken from Double Dash of GameCube. Though this particular track seemed to be a little show, but it requires players to use their drifting skills more. It will also have several laps that make it quite competitive.

Also, the soon to be released Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack Two will feature three new characters and their equivalent custom vehicles. One of them is the forever smiling Isabelle, the fierce-looking Animal Crossing Villager, as well as the exceptional Dry Bowser, who can breathe fire when doing stunts.

Yet one of the possible highlights of the new Mario Kart 8 DLC is its 200cc mode.

The new mode is 50cc faster compared to the previous maximum speed allowed in the series. According to Nintendo, players who will use this new mode should be highly skilled in breaking to avoid gameplay crashes.

The Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack Two is scheduled to come out on April 23 for free.
