Content excluded includes compatibility, and the ability to upload on YouTube - all of which were discontinued on the Wii U version when Miiverse was terminated on November 7, 2017.

Has been significantly altered.Characters that were originally unlockable or exclusive to downloadable content in Mario Kart 8 are available from the start in this game, marking the largest starting roster of any Mario Kart game.Characters can now carry up to two items at once, even if they do not drag the first item, and the game features the return of the from. The game also introduces smart-steering and auto-accelerate for beginners; the former makes driving and staying on the track easier, the latter makes the vehicle automatically accelerate.

There is an additional level of, called Ultra Mini-Turbo, denoted by purple (pink in the British English version) sparks that appear after the orange sparks. This new level of Mini-Turbo can only be obtained if smart-steering is off.200cc engine class for Time Trials has been added (separately recorded from the 150cc Time Trials).The game also features a different in-game guide, directly accessible from the game's menu.

There is also an option to change character and vehicle combinations during an online lobby without having to leave; this is done by pressing ( when playing with a single Joy-Con) during the course selection screen of an online lobby. The game also has reduced loading times when compared to the Wii U game.Some of the vehicle parts that are exclusive to downloadable content in Mario Kart 8 (i.e. Parts included within the, and the add-on packs) are now randomly unlocked by collecting during gameplay.There are more character weight classes when compared to the Wii U game, with several returning characters having different statistics. Also, the statistics of some vehicle parts have been altered, and certain physics elements, such as the speed increase per stat and the acceleration tiers, have been adjusted.and are now slower when they lock onto their target, meaning players are able to outrun them in 200cc when they have any kind of speed boost. The pathing and drifting patterns for the CPU racers have been adjusted to accommodate for the 200cc engine class.CPU players now have a chance to pull from item boxes. However, it primarily happens in the Shells Only item setting.Online lobbies are also changed. Players playing Worldwide or Regional VS Race between 1000 VR and 3000 VR will be randomized either a 100cc or 150cc race, and starting at over 3000 VR, players will now be randomized a 150cc, Mirror, or even 200cc race.Battle Mode.

Inkling Girl, Mario, and in Battle Stadium.The biggest change made between Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the original release of Mario Kart 8 is the. Battle Mode now returns to the arena-based battle and unlike previous games, each player starts with five balloons, as opposed to three. Another addition to Battle Mode is that the character in the lead now wears a crown, unlike in Mario Kart 8 where the crown is displayed only on the HUD map. Additionally, players now start out with zero points instead of Mario Kart 8's default three points, and their balloons do not serve as the remaining three 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 and the player respawns with three balloons instead of five. A new addition to this mode is the feature to tell exactly which character hit whom, which appears on the bottom of the screen. Furthermore, after getting hit, players now have about 1.5 seconds of invincibility frames, unlike in Mario Kart 8.

The item options also appear to have been updated; alongside the 'Frantic Items' option, a 'Skilled Items' option is also available for selection; in this mode, powerful items appear less frequently, similar to Mario Kart Wii's 'Strategic' ('Basic' in the PAL version) item option. There are five different Battle Mode types:. Balloon Battle: The classic mode where players use items to pop opponents' balloons or steal them in order to score points. This mode now uses the point-based set-up seen in Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7, rather than the survival set-up of Mario Kart 8 and earlier installments prior to Mario Kart Wii. Renegade Roundup: A new mode in the vein of 'cops and robbers', with the racers being divided into two teams. One team, known as 'The Authorities', has to use (which are permanently attached to the front of their vehicle and only serve to capture the opposing team; they do not operate like the regular item) in order to capture players from the other team, known as 'The Renegades'.

Captured Renegades are placed into one of several jail cells floating above various points on the stage. Remaining Renegades can free their teammates by driving over a key switch placed below the jail cells. The Renegades win if at least one member is still running free when time runs out, and the Authorities win if all of the Renegades get captured. All Authority team members also temporarily lose their ability to capture after being hit by an item and Renegades receive a speed boost when they are freed from the cells. Bob-omb Blast: A returning mode from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, in which players attack one another using to score points and can carry up to 10 Bob-ombs.

This version follows all of the same rules as Balloon Battle, the difference being that the only items are Bob-ombs. Coin Runners: Originating in Mario Kart Wii, this mode was last seen in Mario Kart 7. Players must collect scattered across the course in order to have the most by the end of the match. Plays more akin to the Mario Kart Wii version of the mode, with players having no limit to the amount of coins they can collect, as opposed to the 10-coin limit in the Mario Kart 7 version. Shine Thief: Another returning mode from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, one player must retrieve a and keep hold of it for about 20 seconds, while the opponents use items against whoever has the Shine to force that player to drop it. The driver holding the shine sprite has a slightly reduced top speed. In Team play, one team must collectively manage to hold on to the Shine for about 30 seconds.There is also the option to randomly select one of the five available modes by choosing 'Random Battle'.Battle coursesEight battle courses are present in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe; five new and three retro, replacing the repurposed racetracks used for Battle Mode in the Wii U version.Similar to regular races, a course introduction scene is now added at the start.

Players can choose either the Inkling Girl or Inkling Boy, and they include three selectable colors each; similarly, the two Villagers have also been separated, after being present in the same character slot (with the female Villager being considered a variant of the male one) in Mario Kart 8.

They are once again restricted to Grand Prix only, not appearing in single player versus or battle mode. Unlike the previous game, more characters have rivals: the twelve characters from the previous game who had rivals retain their rivals in this game, while other characters range from having one to two rivals each, or even none at all.Rival OrderPlayerOpponent(s)PlayerOpponent(s)PlayerOpponent(s)NoneNoneNoneNoneVehicle partsMario Kart 8 Deluxe features six additional vehicle body parts.

(NEW)Drivers' and vehicle parts' statistics For the in-game tables from which these values were derived and for the tables to translate those values into the actual statistics used by the game, see.Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features different statistics with respect to.Statistics shown in the vehicle customization screenJust like and, the game uses 'points' ('PT') which are conferred by characters and vehicle parts to determine the final values of the game's statistics. In each statistics, the points given by the character, body, tires, and glider are summed to obtain a final value called 'Level' ('Lv') which is then used by to convert the level into appropriate physical parameters used by the game. There are a total of 7,560 different stat combinations. The Level of five statistics is displayed in the vehicle customization screen:. Speed: The top speed of the vehicle on land with normal gravity. Acceleration: how fast the speed increases when holding the acceleration button until top speed has been reached.

Weight: The weight of the vehicle. Vehicles with higher weight knock away vehicles with lower weight. Handling: The turning ability of the vehicle on land with normal gravity.

A higher stat means vehicles turn sharper, and will continue turning normally for longer before automatically initiating a drift. Traction (Grip in the British English version): The grasp of the vehicle. Vehicles with higher traction slip less on certain terrain and can stay stable on the road better.

Not to be confused with handling.Said Level is represented through bars by adding three points to the sum of points, then dividing the result by four, resulting in values ranging from 0.75 to 5.75. As an example, the process through which the statistics of a certain combination of character and vehicle parts are calculated and displayed is shown below. The values actually shown in the vehicle customization screen, matching the values calculated. Some of the Mii Racing Suits and that can be used to unlock them in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.In addition to all of the compatible in Mario Kart 8 with their respective Mii Racing Suits, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe adds compatibility with amiibo from the Splatoon line, which unlock a Mii Racing Suit based on Splatoon.

The game now mostly renders in native 1920x1080 resolution in TV mode (sometimes switching to native 1728x972), and always renders at native 1280x720 resolution in Tabletop and Handheld Mode, instead of the dynamic 1280x720/1152x648 rendering resolution used in the original Wii U version. The shadows present are of higher quality in multiplayer. If a Blooper is about to ink the player as they cross the finish line, the player will still get inked. This is unlike the Wii U version, where the Blooper or the ink disappear instead. If the Smart Steering mode is on, the player's vehicle will have an antenna sticking out its rear end. The antenna blinks and will tilt and bend when Smart Steering is activated.

The course map color on the race tracks is now white instead of blue, including the maps of all three and GCN Baby Park, which originally had multiple colors.
