Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (for Nintendo Switch)

At heart, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the same game as Mario Kart 8. You choose from a few dozen Mario characters and a variety of go-karts and bikes (with different options for tires and gliders/parachutes), and race on colorful, varied tracks taken from different Nintendo games.

For local multiplayer, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe supports split-screen racing for up to four players on one Switch.

Battles now take place on their own arena-like maps, which flow much better for the different style of gameplay.

The new Battle Mode maps are much more open than the race tracks, with wide spaces for chasing after and hiding from other players.

Renegade Roundup is a cops-and-robbers game where one team has to arrest members of the other with piranha plants attached to their vehicles, while the renegade team tries to break them out of an in-map jail.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe includes all the DLC content for a whopping 48 tracks in 12 cups.

You can tweak your vehicle's performance by choosing different chassis, tires, and gliders.

You can choose from 42 different racers.
