New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe SECRET CHARACTER Unveiled - Here's How To Unlock Him

Nintendo has released a new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe teaser trailer for Nintendo Switch.

There’ll be 42 characters available in game, including five newbies - Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, King Boo, Dry Bones, and Bowser Jr. - and all tracks and karts from the Wii U version will also be available, including all previously released DLC.

If you’re able to beat every cup in the 200cc class, though, a special prize will unlock… a solid Gold Mario!

48 tracks will be available from the very beginning - “the most in any Mario Kart game”, according to Ninty - and you can now simultaneously hold two items, making your time on the track even more chaotic!

Nintendo has also shared details of the battle modes coming to Mario Kart Deluxe 8. All-new Renegade Roundup pits teams against each other to imprison enemy players before the time runs out, but there’s also old favourites like Bob-omb Blast and Balloon Battle returning, too.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is out April 28 on Nintendo Switch, which not-so-coincidentally is also the release date of the Joy-Con Wheel accessory.

For those of you who’ve already picked up a Nintendo Switch, here’s 18 games out RIGHT NOW that you'll want to play immediately. Just don’t put any skins/stickers on the joy-cons or system…
