Editing Crown

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', crowns return, though they have been entirely revamped. Their ability to appear as a mini-map icon in regular races was removed. In Battle Mode, they are now physically placed on the head(s) of (a) first-place driver(s). They were also redesigned, the crowns are now more detailed, the mini-map sprite was redone, and in races they have a [[Shine Sprite]] figure on the top, except when [[Larry]], [[Lemmy]], or [[Iggy]] wears it, in which case there is a hole on the top instead to make room for the tall hair of these characters. A brief sound effect was added when a player obtains it. The crown now serves as the prize for winning Battle Mode, replacing the generic [[Trophy|trophies]] reused from the VS. mode in the Wii U version. On the ranking results screen, free-for-all results show the normal gold crown, a silver crown, or a bronze crown for first, second, or third place, respectively, and team-based battles using the gold crown to indicate the winning team. Just like trophies, crowns that appear on the results screen automatically rotate horizontally, with the player being able to use the control stick or touchscreen to speed crowns up, slow them down, or tilt them up or down. Additionally, in lobbies for online, local wireless, or LAN play, the [[Mii]] of the winner of the previous race now wears a crown if they won the last battle.
