Today marks one year since the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe released to the general public. Initially met with mass criticism from fans, it has progressively received more praise as more waves released. An interesting purpose of the pass is to preserve every nitro from Mario Kart 9, better known as Mario Kart Tour. Cope.
Anyways, what are your personal opinions on the Booster Course Pass at the moment now that we're one year in? Predictions maybe?

Technically, it's the ONLY anniversary, but otherwise...
The Pass has been pretty good, even back in Wave 1. Dropping out of Tour hurt a lot of people's experiences with the tracks. Those who at least followed/played Tour already had a general idea of what was coming every single time, it was harder to feel outright "disappointed".
The datamines did end up spoiling the remainder of Waves 2,3 & 4. A bit upset about that, but it forced the so called "predictions" to die out nice and quick, rather than letting them reach Smash Bros. levels of "What the Fuck?" It's a bit late for the characters to be added, personally, but the Tour preservation was lacking in that area as well, so it's certainly welcome. Some of the first 16 tracks were jarring to look at, but most of them were beyond saving by a simple GFX update. The music is at least just as great as base game, no more stupid MIDI.
The rebalance was super random, and isn't a Tour thing. Everything else: Tracks, Custom Items, Characters, Quick Item Respawn, Trick off everything, Lightning doesn't Stop Gliding---All very Tour things, yet this one, somehow, wasn't. It still bugs me to this day.
As for predictions, there still isn't much wiggle room. But I have a couple I'm expecting to see.
Wave 5
Feather Cup
Tour Madrid Track
Wii Koopa Cape
GBA Sunset Wilds
Tour Bathroom Track
Cherry Cup
Tour Los Angeles Laps
SNES Choco Island 1/2
GCN Daisy Cruiser
Tour Athens Track
Characters: Pauline and Kamek for New York Minute and Yoshi's Island
Other: Quicker Item Respawn, Character Alts
Wave 6
Acorn Cup
Tour Rio Track
GCN Mushroom Bridge
DS Airship Fortress
Tour Piranha Plant Cove
Spiny Cup
Tour Vancouver Velocity
GCN Dino Dino Jungle
Tour Sinister Track(World Bowser, Bowser's Castle, Dark Land etc.)
Wii Rainbow Road
Characters: Petey Piranha, Funky Kong and Diddy Kong for Piranha Plant Cove, Wii Rainbow Road & Dino Dino Jungle
Other: Ton of alts, and something special. Not sure this far out, but they must have a massive surprise for the end. And no, it's not a Second Pass. Just saying this in Advance.

Tour Sinister Track? Why Do You Think That? Which Filename Says ST Or Something?

Tour Sinister Track? Why Do You Think That? Which Filename Says ST Or Something?
None. But it's the second to last track in the whole game. The only thing that precedes a Rainbow Road is usually a Bowser Track. And we haven't had a single one so far in this Pass, which is really weird, so I thought it'd make some sense. They wouldn't add one if they have a Tour track that does similar things. That's why Daisy Hills, Cheep Cheep Lagoon, Shy Guy Bazaar etc. aren't in. They already have something similar getting in; it'd be awful if you have identical tracks coming into your DLC.

Happy birthday to the Booster Course Pass ! 
it has come pretty far now, it's been a journey that improved as time progressed. The datamines kinda ruined it for me. The fact that people are getting profit of the slightest leak and are speculating 24/7 never fails to annoy me. Just let the surprise be and shut up. I wouldn't be mad if they didn't shove that in your face everytime, but it's annoying. I personally don't know what can make its appearance. But if I had to make predictions to join everyone... Piranha Plant Cove may appear at some point, but I'm not sure about that. Dry Dry Ruins too, it's literally a fan favorite from Wii. So far we've been getting a pretty similar scheme, at least 2 Tour city tracks and either a new track or a Tour nitro non-city track, a random DS track, a random track, a complete GBA overhaul in terms of everything, and a Wii fan favorite. (Bro, we literally got Coconut Mall, Mushroom Gorge, Maple Treeway and DK Summit.) So for me Dry Dry Ruins really has chances of appearing. I'm also pretty sure there will be a GCN track this time, they at least have to do one per wave from this point. Honestly I can also see a beach track coming for some reason. But anyways... we will probably figure out in 4 months..

Their criticism is actually baseless, they shouldn't say what grass should look like since they've never seen it irl

Happy 3DS Toad Circuit plastic textures day 
On a serious note, the BCP is better than the base game. I suppose the initial criticism was fair, but now we've got tons of masterpieces and more to come.

My predictions:
Wave 5:
Feather Cup:
Tour Vancouver Velocity
Wii Koopa Cape
GBA Sunset Wilds
Tour Los Angeles Laps
Double Cherry Cup:
Tour Athens Avenue (mobAT)
GCN Daisy Cruiser
SNES Vanilla Lake 2
Piranha Plant Cove
Wave 6:
Super Acorn Cup:
Tour Madrid Motorways (mobMD)
Wii Dry Dry Ruins
??? (Unreleased Tour non-city Nitro)
??? (Unreleased Tour non-city Nitro)
Blue Shell Cup:
Tour ??? (Unknown city track)
GCN DK Mountain
??? (Unreleased Tour non-city Nitro)
Wii Rainbow Road
(yes, there are Tour datamines for the non-city nitros, but predicting which acronyms go with which waves would be pointless lol)
The acronyms themselves are mobBR and mobDK, and the datamining community seems to have agreed that mobBR is a bathroom course for some reason, and mobDK may or may not be related to Donkey Kong
also yes I included one more Wii track than the prefix leak would expect, but I think that Wii Dry Dry Ruins will be shoehorned in in place of GCN Dino Dino Jungle
also also there are Tour datamines for Wii Daisy Circuit, which complicates things further, but I chose to ignore Daisy Circuit because who likes it anyways (and I'm already adding in one extra Wii track, there wouldn't be 2 extras, plus we need both GCN Daisy Cruiser and GCN DK Mountain)
also also also GBA Yoshi Desert is leaked for Tour, but Sunset Wilds was in the banner leak, so Sunset Wilds is more likely
3/23/23 edit: changed SNES Ghost Valley 2 to SNES Vanilla Lake 2, because Vanilla Lake was in the banner leak, and also moved Piranha Plant Cove to Wave 5 because it's already out, the unreleased tracks will come out later than the already released in Tour tracks
TL;DR We need a Wave 7 lmao
Wave 5:
Feather Cup:
Tour Vancouver Velocity
Wii Koopa Cape
GBA Sunset Wilds
Tour Los Angeles Laps
Double Cherry Cup:
Tour Athens Avenue (mobAT)
GCN Daisy Cruiser
SNES Vanilla Lake 2
Piranha Plant Cove
