 ===Original order of courses in Waves 3 to 6===
-In version 2.1.0 and onwards, the internal file names for some of the courses in the Booster Course Pass suggest that the release order in their respective cups differs from the originally planned order. Every course's internal file name has two digits, with the first indicating its intended wave and the second indicating its position in said wave (for example, {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}' file name is "Cnsw_35", indicating that it is the fifth track in Wave 3, or the first track in the [[Moon Cup]]. Many tracks have changed their placement in the wave in which they were originally intended. Instead, a Mario Kart Tour Nitro course was probably discarded and replaced with the Wii Moonview Highway (but it could also have been an indecised course). Due to the fact that two courses of the same game in one cup can only come from Mario Kart Tour, Wii Maple Treeway was brought forward to wave 3. For this reason, GCN Waluigi Stadium was moved to wave 4. As a result GCN Daisy Cruiser was moved to wave 5. Later Wii Moonview Highway was moved up to wave 5 and then an unknown GCN course was moved to wave 6.

In addition to several courses changing their order within their wave, several courses also switched waves entirely, such as {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}, which was set to be in Wave 3's Moon Cup but was delayed to Wave 4 in favour of {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}, whose internal file name suggests that it was once slated for Wave 6's Acorn Cup. Additionally, Wave 6 was originally intended to have 3 tracks without prefixes, but {{classic-link|Wii|Moonview Highway}} replaced one of them, as indicated by its filename.
 Further evidence appears in an unlisted advertisement for Wave 3 posted by Nintendo of America on YouTube, which displays the courses in their original order, albeit with {{classic|Wii|Maple Treeway}} in place of {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBCHkZ15MUM</ref>
