Mario Kart 8 DLC Race Tracks Are Accessible For Free, Sort Of
If you’re not planning to buy the Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8, don’t worry. You’re not completely out of luck. The new premium tracks will be randomly available for players playing Global or Regional races online. If one of your friends owns a copy of the DLC, you don’t have to purchase it when you’re playing with them in a group either.
As originally reported by Eurogamer, the first wave of premium courses will be available for Random selection when playing Global or Regional races online, starting March 22. Alternatively, you can play them as soon as March 18 by playing in Friends and Rivals races with someone who already purchased the DLC. So someone still needs to buy the DLC, or you’d need to pay for the Nintendo Switch Online bundle. But that’s still cheaper than everyone in your local Mario Kart meetup purchasing the DLC for themselves.
This information has been detailed in the U.K. version of Nintendo’s website, but it is not available on the U.S. website. Kotaku reached out to Nintendo for clarification, but it did not respond at the time of publication.

The newest Mario Kart 8 DLC was announced at the Nintendo Direct on February 9. The DLC consists of remasters of race courses from older Mario Kart games, and Nintendo intends to release them within six waves each made up of eight courses. The first of which will be available March 18, and the full collection of the promised 48 tracks will be released by the end of 2023. Players who have the expanded version of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription can access all the DLC as soon as they are released. Otherwise, you can buy the pack separately for $24.99
Google made a more accessible icon for Chrome
If you recently downloaded the latest Canary release of Google Chrome, you may have noticed the icon is different. The change marks the first time in eight years that Google has redesigned the symbol representing its iconic web browser. At first glance, it doesn’t look that different, but there’s more to the refresh than meets the eye. In a Twitter thread spotted by , Google designer Elvin Hu details the thought process that went into the redesign.
If you look carefully, you’ll notice Google removed the shadows that were part of the icon, opting for a more flat design that’s in line with the company’s other products. It also changed the proportions of the symbol while brightening up the individual colors that make it up. But the most impactful change the company introduced is that it added subtle gradients to the green and red segments of the icon. Hu says the company found that certain shades of those two colors produced an “unpleasant color vibration” when placed next to one another. You can see a more apparent example of the phenomenon Hu talks about on this . Either way, the result of the change is an icon that is “more accessible.”
Depending on where you use Chrome, you’ll see additional subtle changes. That’s because Hu says Google spent time customizing the icon to make it more at home in every operating system where you can download Chrome. On macOS, for instance, the symbol will look more three-dimensional. On iOS, meanwhile, there will be a special blueprint version of the icon tied to the beta release of the software. According to Hu, we’ll see the refreshed icon roll out over the next few months.
