Tonight, on the Stevetendo show, we’re jumping off the starting line with more Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass DLC came out and we’re going to give it a proper test drive. This wave adds new courses as well as three new drivers. You’ll be able to dive as Petey Piranha, Wiggler, and Kamek. This will be the first time Kamek is a playable driver. He was supposed to be a playable driver in Mario Kart 64 but was dropped from the roster at the last minute.

One of my favorite Mario Kart courses, Daisy Cruiser, is getting added to the game as well as a brand new course. Squeaky Clean Sprint has players race through a large bathroom so watch out for the rubber ducks! Set to go live at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET, join the show to see how fun the new courses and characters are in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Shackers who want to join in on the fun can head over to the Shacknews Twitch channel, where you can tune into the Stevetendo show every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

If you can't make tonight's show, you can watch Monday nights at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. Stay tuned for more of our Pikmin and Live A Live playthroughs. Both games appear close to completion with Live A Live being in the fina lchapter and Pikmin having a few in-game days remaining.

There is plenty to see and do in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. There’s a good chance if you think you’ve done it all, there’s probably way more to discover. If you’ve hit a dead end, then you should check out the guides and videos Shacknews has to offer since we have the best Shrine guides on the Internet. However, if you’d rather watch original Shacknews shows or classic games being played, then subscribe to the Shacknews Twitch channel with Prime Gaming.

Keep thinking of games that you’d like to see played on the Stevetendo show. If it’s on the Nintendo Switch Online service, it has a pretty good chance of getting on the show. That being said, the summer months can be a slow time for gaming but you never know when Nintendo will add games to their online catalogue.
