'''''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. It was later released in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2018.<ref name=YouTube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDEaTlIEfwM</ref>

Unlike 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]]s to store items. [[Glider]]s are also present, and are used similarly to ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''.<ref name=YouTube /><ref name=SecondYouTube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mETJHs7NP4M</ref>

There is only one, single-lap course available, but it has different themes, some of which pull elements from courses within ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''. Its first section is a grassland-themed course with [[Big Piranha Plant]]s, the second section is an underground section with [[Thwomps]], the third section is set on [[airship]]s, the fourth section in [[Bowser's Castle]], and the fifth section in [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. Before the race, [[Bowser]] and [[Wario]] push ahead of the players.<ref name=Engadget>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHUomtWDxI</ref>
