A bunch of potential DLC stuff was supposedly discovered by hackers recently. Only images were found but could give an idea of what Nintendo could be planning for future DLC for the game.

Luckily, though, Nintendo’s latest racer could still see some real downloadable content thanks to a group of curious hackers discovering “ym_CupIconDLC_130x130^h.bflim" in the game’s code. But if the words “CupIconDLC” aren’t convincing enough, the actual images of four cup logos found in the game’s code were revealed (which can be seen below). The icons show a Yoshi’s Egg, a Shine Sprite, a Boo, and a Blue Shell - and if legit, racers could have a total of 16 new tracks on their hands. Fans have speculated the icons could represent difficulty of the cup; Yoshi’s Egg being the easiest, and the Blue Shell the hardest. What’s more, according to the hackers’ post on the Mario Kart Boards, “there are 16 full size graphics of 12 Marios on the start line of Mario Circuit with the word ‘SAMPLE’ plastered across. All of these images are labeled “DLC” as well and are probably placeholders that may one day be replaced with brand new track images.” The post also mentioned the team discovered potential plans for Mii costumes, noting the likes of Shy Guy, and Yoshi.
