It was later released in international VR ZONE locations in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Macau, China, and Taiwan. It is the fourth entry in the ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series.
 
'''''Mario Kart Arcade GP VR''''' is a [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] game released for {{wp|Virtual reality|virtual reality}} arcade machines, released in Japan on July 14, 2017 and later in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2018.<ref name=YouTube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDEaTlIEfwM</ref>


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Unlike the prior ''Mario Kart'' games, ''Mario Kart Arcade GP VR'' is played through use of a virtual reality headset and in first person. Similar to the prior arcade ''Mario Kart'' games, the game is controlled via a steering wheel and acceleration and brake pedals. In addition, items are thrown by making hand movements, which the game registers by an attachment to the player's wrist. For example, to throw a [[Green Shell]], one must make a throwing motion with their open palm. Also, instead of using [[Item Box]]es, the game uses red, yellow, and green [[Balloon (Mario Kart Arcade GP VR)|balloon]]s to store items. [[Glider]]s are also present, and are used similarly to ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''.<ref name=YouTube>{{cite|author=Bandai Namco Entertainment|date=June 13, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDEaTlIEfwM|title=超現実エンターテインメントEXPO　VR ZONE SHINJUKU|publisher=YouTube|language=ja|accessdate=September 28, 2024}}</ref><ref name=SecondYouTube>{{cite|author=4GamerMovie|date=July 12, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mETJHs7NP4M|title=「マリオカート アーケードグランプリVR」（VR ZONE SHINJUKU）|publisher=YouTube|language=ja|accessdate=September 28, 2024}}</ref>

There is only one, single-lap course available, but it has different themes, which pulls elements from courses within ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''. Its first and second section is a remake of [[Kingdom Way]], only with [[Big Piranha Plant]]s and [[Thwomp]]s; the third section is set on a mashup of [[Aerial Road]] and [[Sky Arena]], only with many more [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s; the fourth section is based on [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart Arcade GP DX)|Bowser's Castle]]; and the fifth section is based on [[Peach Castle (race course)|Peach Castle]]. Before the race, [[Bowser]] and [[Wario]] push ahead of the players.<ref name=Engadget>{{cite|author=Yahoo Tech HK|date=August 9, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHUomtWDxI|title=Mario Kart VR 動手玩 <nowiki>|</nowiki> Engadget 中文版|publisher=YouTube|language=ja|accessdate=September 28, 2024}}</ref>

==Characters==
Four characters are playable in the game, while two other characters are CPU-only.
