They are the equivalent to the Coins in the Mario franchise. They play a role in the Hyrule Circuit course purchased in the first Mario Kart 8 DLC pack, The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8, and return in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Rupees can be obtained from Item Boxes exclusively in the Hyrule Circuit courses, and are scattered throughout the track, replacing coins found in all the other tracks.
