Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an racing game for the Nintendo Switch.[1] It is an enhanced port of the Mario Kart series title, Mario Kart 8 from the Wii U, with additional features such as several new characters and features more options for Battle Mode. First hinted in the Switch's announcement video in October, the game was formally announced as part of the Nintendo Switch presentation on January 13, 2017.[1] Characters can now carry up to two items at once, even if they don't drag the first item, and the game features the return of the Double Item Box from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. The game also introduces "Smart Steering" for beginners, which makes driving and staying on the track easier.[2]

The game will feature all of the default and DLC content of Mario Kart 8.[1]

Battle Mode

Battle Mode now features arenas that were not present in the Wii U version of the game. New Battle Courses include Urchin Underpass,[3][1] a Splatoon-themed Battle Course; and Battle Stadium.[1] Returning Battle Courses include SNES Battle Course 1 and GCN Luigi's Mansion. Bob-omb Blast, first debuting from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, returns as an option for Battle Mode, alongside the returning Balloon Battle mode.[1][2] Another addition to Battle Mode is that the character in the lead now wears a crown, unlike Mario Kart 8 where the crown is displayed only on the HUD in the map. Additionally, players now start out with 0 points instead of Mario Kart 8's default 3 points, and their balloons do not serve as the remainder 3 points. Returning from Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7 is the ability to respawn after all balloons are popped; this causes the player's total score to halve.

New characters

Players can choose either the boy or girl Inkling, and they include various selectable colors.
