The B Dasher Makes A Return In Mario Kart 8 DLC
Nintendo has confirmed the return of one of Mario Kart’s more iconic designs. The B Dasher, which made its first appearance in Mario Kart DS (and was featured on the cover) will be coming as part of the first Mario Kart 8 DLC pack.
The B Dasher appeared in Mario Kart Wii (though under the name “Sprinter” in North America) and Mario Kart 7. The first DLC pack, due in November, will also include Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, and The Legend of Zelda’s Link.
That bundle also arrives with a total of four vehicles and eight new courses. For the complete list of three DLC packs, check out our previous coverage.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
