The game features most of the base and DLC content of ''Mario Kart 8''. Content excluded includes [[Miiverse]] compatibility, [[stamp]]s, and the ability to upload [[Highlight Reel]]s on YouTube - all of which were discontinued on the Wii U version when Miiverse was terminated on November 7, 2017 | The game features most of the base and DLC content of ''Mario Kart 8''.

The user interface on the title screen has been almost entirely redesigned, being more simple than the Wii U game. | |||
The game also introduces Smart Steering and Auto-Accelerate for beginners; the former makes staying on the track easier by automatically steering the vehicle away from edges on the track, while the latter makes the vehicle automatically accelerate (though this is not available in Battle Mode). If the Smart Steering mode is on, the player's vehicle will have a black antenna sticking out of its rear end; this antenna blinks yellow and bends when Smart Steering is in effect. Smart Steering and Auto-Accelerate can be toggled on and off individually for each player in the vehicle part selection menu and in the pause menu. There is also an additional level of [[Mini-Turbo]], called Ultra Mini-Turbo, denoted by purple sparks (referred to as pink in the British English version) that appear after the orange sparks. This new level of Mini-Turbo can only be used if Smart Steering is off. | The game also introduces Smart Steering and Auto-Accelerate for beginners; the former makes staying on the track easier by automatically steering the vehicle away from edges on the track, while the latter makes the vehicle automatically accelerate (though this is not available in Battle Mode).

200cc engine class for Time Trials has been added (separately recorded from the 150cc Time Trials). There are new [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|staff ghosts]] for 200cc, while some of the 150cc staff ghosts have slightly different times compared to the original. | 200cc engine class for Time Trials has been added (separately recorded from the 150cc Time Trials).
