Super Mario Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Mario Kart 8 is back- and bigger than ever on Nintendo Switch!
All your favourite tracks and characters return from the Wii U version just for Nintendo Switch. DLC tracks and characters are included, plus new characters join the roster, too: Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl from Splatoon, King Boo, Dry Bones, and Bowser Jr.!

Battle Mode has been revamped and includes Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast, with all-new courses such as Urchin Underpass and Battle Stadium, and returning ones like (GCN) Luigi’s Mansion and (SNES) Battle Course 1.

Players can now carry two items at a time, including new items returning from previous Mario Kart games such as Boo, the item-stealing ghost, and the Feather, which gives you a high jump in battle mode.

Players can even choose to use a new Smart Steering feature which makes driving and staying on the track easy for novice players and kids, even at 200cc. Play in TV mode in up to 1080p.

Race your friends anytime and anywhere!
Multiplayer mayhem can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways on Nintendo Switch consoles, with four different methods available to play with friends.

• Up to four friends can play on a single Nintendo Switch console in TV mode, or in tabletop mode by using the stand at the back of  the console and placing it on a flat surface

• Online multiplayer makes a return, allowing for up to two local racers to get involved in 12-player races with others around the world*

• Through Wireless Play, multiple Nintendo Switch consoles can be connected to each other, allowing up to eight people to play together in the same room

• Up to 12 consoles in TV mode can be connected via LAN Play**, with one or two players per connected Nintendo Switch***

Save those highlights!
Players can also create highlight reels and watch them again via the in-game mode Mario Kart TV, allowing them to save the memories of their greatest successes, or their most glorious failures.

Use your amiibo!
Should players wish to race in style, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes with a wide range of amiibo compatibility, including some Super Mario series and all the Animal Crossing series, while Splatoon series of amiibo grant a new racing suit for Mii characters.
