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. [[Battle Mode]] 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 equip the first item, and the game features the return of the [[Item Box#Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|Double Item Box]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. 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 (pink in the British English version) sparks that appear after the orange sparks. This new level of Mini-Turbo can only be used if Smart Steering is off.
The user interface on the title screen has been almost entirely redesigned, being more simple than the Wii U game.


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.

The game also features an in-game guide, directly accessible from the game's menu; this guide explains various techniques, Battle Mode, and the functions of each item.

The vehicle parts that are exclusive to downloadable content in ''Mario Kart 8'' (i.e. parts included within the [[Mercedes-Benz x Mario Kart 8|Mercedes-Benz × ''Mario Kart 8'']], [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']], and [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] add-on packs) are now accessible in the base game and are randomly unlocked by collecting [[coin]]s during gameplay.

There are more individual character weight classes when compared to the Wii U game, with several returning characters having different statistics, thus resulting in fewer characters having the same stats as each other. Similarly, 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.

Similarly, 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.  
The overall game difficulty has been reduced, as CPUs slow down closer to the player when compared to the original version and do not charge Mini Turbos or Super Mini Turbos as quickly. The default speed of the CPUs in the Normal and Easy difficulties is also reduced.
The course map color for the race courses is now white instead of blue, including the maps of all three [[Rainbow Road]]s and {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}, which originally had multiple colors. However, the battle courses have color-shaded areas and lines on their maps to make it easier for players to determine where they are. The character icons on the course map are now slightly larger, more detailed, and of a higher resolution. In a race, the first place player no longer has a crown on their map icon, though they still do in battles. When a [[Bob-omb]] or Spiny Shell explodes, its explosion is now shown on the course map. When playing with the map enabled in local splitscreen multiplayer, there will only be one map in the center of the screen, rather than each player having their own copy of the map like in the Wii U version.
All courses that feature confetti flying around the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]], such as [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], now also have confetti on the ground of the course near it.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F2djsuZuTg&feature=youtu.be&t=3m50s</ref>
When using the rearview mirror, the character will now move their eyes slightly to the left to look back, like how they do in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''; however, their eyes will stay looking to the left as long as the rearview is active, rather than switching back after a second like in ''Mario Kart Wii''.
[[Inkling|Inkling Girl]], [[Isabelle]], and [[Link]] now appear on the loading screen, and the game also has reduced loading times when compared to the Wii U game; as a result, the second set of characters that originally appeared on the loading screen is almost never seen before the game finishes loading.
When playing with teams, flags colored to correspond to the teams are added behind the vehicles. If Smart Steering is on, then the Smart Steering antenna serves as the pole of the flag. These flags do not appear in Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast, as the colors of the balloons represent the teams in these modes.
===Game modes===

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.
Offline VS Race now requires a minimum of four races per cup instead of three. Additionally, the versus race menu was entirely redesigned.
===Items===
Characters can now carry up to two items at once, even if they do not equip the first item, and the game features the return of the [[Item Box#Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|Double Item Box]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.


[[Red Shell]]s and [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s 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 default speed of the CPUs in the Normal and Easy difficulties has also been reduced. CPU players now have a chance to obtain [[Triple Red Shells]] from [[Item Box]]es, but this primarily only happens in the Shells Only item setting.
If a [[Blooper]] is about to ink the player as they cross the finish line, the player will now still get inked.<ref>Nintendo World Report (January 14, 2017). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPqoUWLpMc&feature=youtu.be&t=3m15s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Wario's Gold Mine - Nintendo Switch Off-Screen Footage]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 19, 2017.</ref> This is unlike the Wii U version, where the Blooper or the ink disappeared instead. Characters also no longer vocally react when they are inked by a Blooper.


Online lobbies have been changed in that players playing Worldwide or Regional VS Races 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 200cc race. The engine class for the upcoming race in a race lobby is now shown in the lobby as the course is selected, via a "50", "100", "150", mirrored "150" (for Mirror), or "200" icon in the bottom right of the selected course icon. This extends to online battle lobbies, which will display a symbol of a yellow balloon (for Balloon Battle), a [[Potted Piranha Plant|potted Piranha Plant]] (for Renegade Roundup), a [[coin]] (for Coin Runners), a [[Shine Sprite]] (for Shine Thief), or a [[Bob-omb]] (for Bob-omb Blast) to denote which battle mode is about to be played. There is also an option to change character and vehicle combinations in an online lobby without having to leave; this is done by pressing {{button|switch|Y}} ({{button|switch|jc-left}} when playing with a single Joy-Con) during the course selection of an online lobby. The [[Mii]] characters that represent the players in online lobbies wear racing suits, unlike in the original version in which they wore their regular outfits. The Mii of the previous race or battle's winner will also wear a [[crown]] identical to the one worn by the first-place player in Battle Mode. The newly added wireless and LAN modes use a very similar lobby to the online lobby, albeit visually set in a garage rather than on a [[Earth|globe]].
CPU players now have a chance to obtain [[Triple Red Shells]] from [[Item Box]]es, but this primarily only happens in the Shells Only item setting.


Players can now see the lap count or timer when spectating an online race or battle respectively. However, it is no longer possible to see the lap count when crossing the finish line nor the full results in multiplayer (including online lobbies) at the end of the race while watching Highlight Reels via [[Mario Kart TV]].
===Online===

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. Motion blur when boosting is present in LAN and online mode, and in earlier builds, it was also present in splitscreen multiplayer.<ref>{{media link|MK8D 4-Player Gameplay Screenshot.png|Screenshot of the starting boost in a four-player split-screen VS Race}}.</ref> The shadows present in the game are of higher quality in multiplayer.

These flags do not appear in Balloon Battle nor Bob-omb Blast, as the color of the balloons show the teams in these modes.
The game supports 5.1 surround. Effects that can play on the rear speakers include approaching shells, certain vehicles' engines, sceneries (e.g. bats, falling rocks, water, helicopters), and if other drivers are immediately to the side. Background music, Lakitu's countdowns, and menu sounds are mixed to stereo only. Some surround receiver producers' models may default to Standard modes that water out the effect (e.g. playing background music via side speakers), necessitating switching them to Straight/Direct or upmixing modes.

The biggest change made between ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' and the original release of ''Mario Kart 8'' is the [[Battle Mode]]. 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''<nowiki>'</nowiki>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, which chooses rare items more frequently, a "Skilled Items" option is also available for selection, which chooses only offensive items; in this mode, powerful items appear less frequently, similar to ''Mario Kart Wii''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Strategic" ("Basic" in the PAL version) item option.

Excluding character variants, there are a total of 48 playable characters in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', including 40 in the base game and eight as DLC. All base and DLC characters from ''Mario Kart 8'' are present in the base roster of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' and are now available from the start, while more characters that were not present in ''Mario Kart 8'' are also added. The base game includes returning characters [[Bowser Jr.]], [[King Boo]], and [[Dry Bones]], who last appeared in the series as playable characters in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and [[Gold Mario]] (as a variant of [[Metal Mario]]), who was previously playable in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. It also introduces a new non-''Super Mario'' character, being the [[Inkling]] from ''[[inkipedia:Splatoon|Splatoon]]''. Both the Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy are playable, and they have three selectable colors each. At the game's launch, Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy took up separate slots on the character selection screen, as did the two Villagers, who were originally present in the same character slot (with the female Villager being a variant of the male one) in ''Mario Kart 8''. However, as of the version 3.0.0 update, Inkling Boy and female Villager are now considered variants of Inkling Girl and male Villager respectively.<ref>https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/ad54329a-2ddc-436d-8e96-43139628e6c3</ref>

Additionally, the version 1.6.0 update added a new variant for Link based on his appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''. When Gold Mario is unlocked and ''Breath of the Wild'' Link is downloaded, they become the default variations of their character, while Metal Mario and ''Skyward Sword'' Link are relegated to alternate costumes. Despite the ''Breath of the Wild'' Link being treated as an alternate costume for Link in menus and in promotional material, he is actually treated as a separate character in-game, as both Links can appear in races or battles as CPU simultaneously even if neither has been selected.

Characters and variants playable in this game that were not playable in the original ''Mario Kart 8'' are listed in ''italics''.
===Character variants===
{| class="wikitable" style="width:80%"
With the exceptions of [[Link]] and the [[Villager]], the displayed name of the character changes based on the variant that is selected. From version 3.0.0 onwards, the last used variant will have their icon shown on the character selection screen. Unlike in ''Mario Kart 8'', the sub-menu for the two Villagers does not use a unique ''Animal Crossing''-inspired color scheme, instead using the same gray color as the others.

===Mii Racing Suits===
All 20 Mii Racing Suits return from ''Mario Kart 8'', and, like in that game, the color of the standard suit matches the favorite color of the selected Mii. There are also two additional Mii Racing Suits tied to scanning [[amiibo]] - the new Splatoon Suit, which is unlocked either by scanning any Inkling or ''Splatoon'' series amiibo, and the Daisy Suit, returning from ''Mario Kart Tour'', which can be unlocked by scanning any Daisy amiibo after installing version 3.0.0. In addition, the Animal Crossing Suit can now be unlocked with any Isabelle or ''Animal Crossing'' series amiibo, and the Pikmin Suit can be unlocked with ''Pikmin'' series amiibo. In version 3.0.0, scanning any amiibo of characters in ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''Metroid'', and ''Kirby'' series unlocks the respective series' Mii Racing Suits.

===Rival order===
===Rival order===
Like in ''Mario Kart 8'', characters have set [[Rival|rivals]] that consistently appear when racing in Grand Prix races. 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.
Like in ''Mario Kart 8'', characters have set [[Rival|rivals]] that consistently appear when racing in Grand Prix races. 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 most other characters range from having one to two rivals each, though some still have none at all.

==Unlocking criteria==
|style="background-color:#8080ff;"|4
===Gold Mario===
|style="background-color:#80ffff;"|2
The only unlockable playable character in this game is [[Gold Mario]], who is unlocked by winning all twelve base-game gold cups at 200cc. Once unlocked, he replaces [[Metal Mario]] on the character select screen. Metal Mario is from then on treated as a color variant of Gold Mario. The two differ only in their color scheme and the voice clip used when selecting them. Their other voice clips, horn sounds, animations, and statistics are identical.
|style="background-color:#80ffff;"|2
 
|style="background-color:#ffff80;"|0
===Vehicle parts===
|style="background-color:#bfffbf;"|1
A vehicle part is randomly unlocked every 30 coins. Once reaching 450 coins this changes to every 50, and once reaching 1500 coins this changes to every 100. Eventually, the last non-gold vehicle part is unlocked on reaching 3100 coins.
|style="background-color:#b6ffc8;"|2
 
|style="background-color:#ffff80;"|1
===Special parts===
|style="background-color:#80aaff;"|5
Special gold parts are unlocked with the following criteria:
|-style="font-weight:bold"
*[[Gold Standard]]: Unlocked by achieving at least 1 star ranking on all base-game Mirror Cups.
|width="1%"|[[File:Gold_Tires_MK8.png|x32px|link=Gold Tires|Gold Tires (Gold Wheels)]]
*[[Gold Tires]]: Unlocked by defeating all 48 base-game staff ghosts in 150cc Time Trials.
|style="background-color:#8080ff;"|4
*[[Gold Glider]]: Unlocked by collecting 5000 coins.
|style="background-color:#80bfff;"|3
 
|style="background-color:#80ffff;"|2
===Alternate title screens===
|style="background-color:#bfffbf;"|1
Additional title screens can appear when hovering over the single player and multiplayer options on the main menu. These are unlocked by obtaining a gold trophy in every base-game cup in Mirror and 200cc, after which the title screens used are randomly selected. These alternate title screens can appear on start-up, which causes a different voice clip to play corresponding to the character shown on the screen, replacing the usual clip of [[Mario]] yelling "Mario Kart 8!"
|style="background-color:#ffff80;"|0
 
|style="background-color:#8080ff;"|4
==Courses==
|style="background-color:#80ffff;"|2
There are 48 race courses in the base game (including all four cups that were DLC in the original ''Mario Kart 8''), these being the 25 courses [[New course|introduced]] in the original game and 23 [[classic course]]s, which includes two courses from ''Super Mario Kart'', three courses each from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', ''Mario Kart DS'', and ''Mario Kart Wii'', and four courses each from ''Mario Kart 64'', ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and ''Mario Kart 7''. It is also the first ''Mario Kart'' game since ''Mario Kart 64'' to have all courses available from the start.
|style="background-color:#80ffff;"|2
 
|style="background-color:#ffff80;"|0
In the British English version of the game, [[Toad Harbor]] is spelled "Toad Harbour", [[Bone-Dry Dunes]] is formatted "Bone Dry Dunes", and {{classic-link|3DS|Music Park}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} are respectively known as <small>3DS</small> Melody Motorway, <small>3DS</small> Piranha Plant Pipeway, and <small>3DS</small> Koopa City.

{{main|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass}}
|style="background-color:#80a4ff;"|6
The ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass'' DLC, which includes 48 additional courses (mostly classic courses), released in six waves of eight courses each, increasing the game's total number of courses to 96. The first wave released on March 18, 2022, and the final wave released on November 9, 2023. The classic courses in the DLC include two courses each from ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart 64'', three courses from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', four courses each from ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart 7'', five courses from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', eight courses from ''Mario Kart Wii'', and seventeen courses from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' (making ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' the first game in the series to feature classic courses of a ''Mario Kart'' game released after it), which increases the total number of courses from each game to four courses from ''Super Mario Kart'', six courses from ''Mario Kart 64'', seven courses each from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart DS'', eight courses each from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' and ''Mario Kart 7'', and eleven courses from ''Mario Kart Wii''. Three new courses are also included, namely [[Sky-High Sundae]], [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]], and [[Squeaky Clean Sprint]], increasing the total number of new courses to 28.

In the British English version of the game, {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}} and {{classic-link|Wii|DK Summit}} are known as {{classic|3DS|Alpine Pass}} and {{classic|Wii|DK's Snowboard Cross}} respectively, as was the case in the British English versions of their original appearances. However, most courses that had different names between European French and Canadian French in previous games instead use their European French names in both versions, with the exceptions of {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}}.

===Battle courses===
Eight battle courses are present in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', five [[New course|new]] and three [[Classic course|classic]], replacing the repurposed race courses used for Battle Mode in the Wii U version.
 
Some battle courses resemble race courses from ''Mario Kart 8'': Battle Stadium with [[Mario Kart Stadium]], Sweet Sweet Kingdom with [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]], Dragon Palace with [[Dragon Driftway]], Lunar Colony with [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]], {{classic|GCN|Luigi's Mansion}} with [[Twisted Mansion]], and {{classic|SNES|Battle Course 1}} with {{classic-link|SNES|Donut Plains 3}}, all sharing similar textures and/or assets.
 
Similar to regular races, a course introduction scene is now added at the start.

==Unlocking criteria==
|-
===Gold Mario===
!Dolphin Shoals
The only unlockable playable character in this game is [[Gold Mario]], who is unlocked by winning all twelve base-game gold cups at 200cc. Once unlocked, he replaces [[Metal Mario]] on the character select screen. Metal Mario is from then on treated as a color variant of Gold Mario. The two differ only in their color scheme and the voice clip used when selecting them. Their other voice clips, horn sounds, animations, and statistics are identical.
|Nin★Skip
 
|United States
===Vehicle parts===
|2:14.832
A vehicle part is randomly unlocked every 30 coins. Once reaching 450 coins this changes to every 50, and once reaching 1500 coins this changes to every 100. Eventually, the last non-gold vehicle part is unlocked on reaching 3100 coins.
|Wendy
 
|Landship
===Special parts===
|Wood
Special gold parts are unlocked with the following criteria:
|Bowser Kite
*[[Gold Standard]]: Unlocked by achieving at least 1 star ranking on all base-game Mirror Cups.
|-
*[[Gold Tires]]: Unlocked by defeating all 48 base-game staff ghosts in 150cc Time Trials.
!Electrodrome
*[[Gold Glider]]: Unlocked by collecting 5000 coins.
|Nin★Yuya
 
|Japan
===Alternate title screens===
|2:21.023
Additional title screens can appear when hovering over the single player and multiplayer options on the main menu. These are unlocked by obtaining a gold trophy in every base-game cup in Mirror and 200cc, after which the title screens used are randomly selected. These alternate title screens can appear on start-up, which causes a different voice clip to play corresponding to the character shown on the screen, replacing the usual clip of [[Mario]] yelling "Mario Kart 8!"
|Larry
 
|Sport Bike
==Courses==
|Monster
There are 48 race courses in the base game (including all four cups that were DLC in the original ''Mario Kart 8''), these being the 25 courses [[New course|introduced]] in the original game and 23 [[classic course]]s, which includes two courses from ''Super Mario Kart'', three courses each from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', ''Mario Kart DS'', and ''Mario Kart Wii'', and four courses each from ''Mario Kart 64'', ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and ''Mario Kart 7''. It is also the first ''Mario Kart'' game since ''Mario Kart 64'' to have all courses available from the start.

===200cc Staff Ghosts===
''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' features a new option for players to race in Time Trials in the 200cc engine class. This option also features entirely new staff ghosts for each of the courses.

===200cc Staff Ghosts===

The [[Boo]] item makes a return in this game, functioning as it had previously. The [[Cape Feather]] was added to Battle Mode only, and is impossible to obtain otherwise. All other items from the Wii U version return as well, with their item distributions altered.

|align=center|[[File:NSMBW Boo Artwork.png|x75px]]<br>[[Boo]]
|Allows the player to become invisible to other racers for 10 seconds. While invisible, players will also be granted immunity to items and obstacles. Activating the item will also allow Boo to steal an item from a randomly selected racer in front of the player. If there are no items to steal, Boo will bring back a single Mushroom by default. If Boo steals a multiple usage item or a timed item, it will be returned to the player fresh. Boo cannot steal Crazy 8s or Piranha Plants and Bullet Bills already in use. Only one Boo can be in play at a time; once it brings back an item, another can appear in Item Boxes again, even while a player is still invisible. Players who are under the effect of a Super Star or a Boo are not immune to Boo's item stealing.

|Causes the player to spin and leap in the air, providing a small speed boost upon landing, akin to a regular trick (characters will also perform a trick animation during the jump). When used near an opponent, the player steals a balloon, 3 coins, or the Shine Sprite from them, depending on the mode; however, the player needs to touch the opponent to steal from them, either by touching them upon use, or upon landing. Can be used on trickable places to gain more height, though does not grant more height if used while airborne, and cancels the gliding immediately. Exclusive to Battle Mode.

Nintendo has sponsored many ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' tournaments, held either online or at special events, with prizes ranging from virtual [[My Nintendo]] points to physical merchandise and memorabilia. Nintendo's online tournaments are restricted to one country or region, and may be recurrent on a weekly, monthly, or seasonal basis as part of a named series. Tournament series include the [[List of official Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournaments#Mario Kart North American Open|''Mario Kart'' North American Open]], the [[List of official Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournaments#Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Seasonal Circuit|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' Seasonal Circuit]] (held in European countries), and the [[List of official Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournaments#Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: AU/NZ Grand Prix|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'': AU/NZ Grand Prix]] (held in Australia and New Zealand).

===Early Booster Course Pass course designs===
Some of the courses in the [[Booster Course Pass]] had several differences between promotional material and their final release, some of which made the courses better resemble their ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' counterparts:
*In the Wave 1 launch trailer, {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}} had simpler detailing overall, particularly in the lighting, trees, and the road. At the left turn that leads to the Luxor Obelisk at the end of the track, the right path, which is used in the final lap, is blocked by fences, some of which have arrows, rather than the backside of a metal ramp like in the final version. The ramp in front of the Eiffel Tower, though still functioning like a [[Glide Ramp]], had the appearance of a normal ramp, similar to Paris Promenade 3.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, the sand in {{classic-link|3DS|Toad Circuit}} was a very dark yellow color, as opposed to the bright sand-like color in the final version.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}}'s exterior was a bright, pale peachy color, but in the time between its reveal and release, it was updated to be a more vibrant orange. This also applied certain parts of the interior. Likewise, the stone floor in the center of the mall was originally gray, while it was changed to orange in the final version. The reflections on the windows had also been changed during this time. However, the results screen following a Grand Prix or a VS match uses an image of the old design.
*When {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}} was shown in the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, the loop at the beginning of the course lacked the barriers blocking off the right side, similar to previous iterations of the course, and even had at least one Coin present. The first flowerbed shortcut was also much smaller, and the route used to turn around on lap three also appears to be absent, with no visible gap in the hedge.
 
===Original order of tracks in Waves 3 and 4===
In version 2.1.0 and onwards, the internal file names for some of the courses in the Booster Course Pass suggest that the release order in their respective cups differs from the originally-planned order. For Wave 3, the [[Rock Cup]] was intended to feature {{classic-link|Tour|London Loop}}, {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, {{classic-link|GBA|Boo Lake}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, while {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} was set for the second slot of the [[Moon Cup]]. Further evidence appears in an unlisted advertisement for Wave 3 posted by Nintendo of America on YouTube, which displays the courses in this order, albeit with {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} (whose internal file name suggests that it was to be the second course of the [[Acorn Cup]]) in place of {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBCHkZ15MUM</ref> In the final release, {{classic|GBA|Boo Lake}} and {{classic|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}} were each moved back a slot, with {{classic|Wii|Maple Treeway}} at the end of the Rock Cup, and {{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}} taking the place of {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}. For Wave 4, the non-Tour courses of both the [[Fruit Cup]] and [[Boomerang Cup]] were in an entirely different order, and {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}} was set as the first course of the Boomerang Cup, with {{classic-link|Tour|Los Angeles Laps}} as its final. In the final release, {{classic-link|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} (initially set to be the first course of the [[Cherry Cup]]) and {{classic|Tour|Singapore Speedway}} took these respective slots, and {{classic|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} appeared in place of another currently unknown GCN course.

===Critical reception===
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" width=40%
''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' has been received with universal acclaim, garnering higher aggregate scores than the original ''Mario Kart 8''. The game has been praised for being well-suited to the Switch's portability, the increased performance, and particularly the redesigned Battle Mode, although several reviews noted ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' would not be as appealing of a proposition to players who already own ''Mario Kart 8'' and its downloadable content.

|align=left|''While purists may accuse Mario Kart 8 of being a opportunistic rehash, Nintendo's goal was to give the Switch a racing game that is fun, polished, filled with content, and able to showcase the Switch's hybrid nature. These four objectives are mostly accomplished, and the game will have no problem seducing newcomers considering how well the formula has been mastered.

|align=left|''Even if you didn't really care about Battle Mode, the smallest changes in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe refine an already great racing game. But the huge overhaul to the original's afterthought of a Battle Mode is a chaotic, varied opportunity to play very differently than in Grand Prix mode and well worth reinvesting yourself in Mario Kart 8 on Switch.''

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch has all of that, plus the return of the battle mode (which should never have left), and while it won't be a '''new''' game as such for the people who actually bought a Wii U (we're a special club), having this game on a portable console is reason enough to buy it all over again.''

===Early ''Booster Course Pass'' course designs===
Some of the courses in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' had several differences between promotional material and their final release, some of which made the courses further resemble their ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' counterparts:
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}} had simpler detailing overall, most notably in the lighting, trees, and the road. At the left turn that leads to the Luxor Obelisk at the end of the track, the right path, which is used in the final lap, was blocked by fences, some of which have arrows, rather than the backside of a metal ramp like in the final version. The optional [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] featured in the final lap was also not present, and consequently neither was the coin on top of the parasol. The ramp in front of the [[Eiffel Tower]], though still functioning like a glide ramp, had the appearance of a normal ramp, similar to Paris Promenade 3. Likewise, the [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] underneath the Eiffel Tower appears to have been invisible, as while seemingly not present, drivers are still seen driving towards it in multiple clips. The Piranha Plant [[Wooden cutout|cutouts]] blocking the shortcut through the [[Arc de Triomphe]] were not present. There was an arrow on the Eiffel Tower pointing towards the path from Paris Promenade 3 not present in the final version.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, the sand in {{classic-link|3DS|Toad Circuit}} was a very dark yellow color, as opposed to the bright sand-like color in the final version. The starting banner was significantly different, with the objects at the top corners being smaller, less round and generally less detailed, the bolts not being present and the horizontal shafts being missing from the columns. There was no confetti present around the starting line, despite confetti still falling there. The checkered line on the road continued onto where the starting grid is, instead of ending before it. There were significantly fewer flowers and plants present around the course. The coins present on the course differ in multiple ways, such as there being a row of them shortly after the starting line, an extra coin present at the final turn, there not being a coin on the ramp shortcut and coins having different positions in general. The final row of Item Boxes did not feature a Double Item Box.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, {{classic-link|N64|Choco Mountain}} had a significantly different road texture, while the walls and rocks lacked the detail they have in the final version. The cracks on the road around where the rocks fall were completely absent, and the coins present after where the second rock falls were instead after the first rock. There appear to have originally been coins leading up to the cave, while conversely the coins on the final turn appear to have been missing. Some of the lights within the cave emitted light onto the ceiling similarly to the crystals, unlike in the final version. The glide ramp leading out of the cave was invisible. Certain wooden elements like fences and the boards at the end of the gliding section had different coloring.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}}'s exterior was a bright, pale peachy color, but in the time between its reveal and release, it was updated to be a more vibrant orange. This also applied to certain parts of the interior. Likewise, the stone floor in the center of the mall was originally gray, while it was changed to orange in the final version. The reflections on the windows had also been changed during this time. The flower bushes present around the mall's exterior were a lot less detailed and had a mix of white and purple flowers instead of the yellow ones the final version uses. The [[Mario Kart TV]] vans were not present. There was no row of Item Boxes at the entrance to the courtyard. The escalator rails were significantly less glossy, and all escalators seem to have had coins at the bottom of them. Similarly, both dash panels in the courtyard had a coin following them. The coins on the turn following the gliding section were instead on the road leading to it. Oddly, the results screen following a Grand Prix or a VS match uses an image of the old design despite the existence of an updated version of said image.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, the Kaminarimon's lantern in {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}} looked less saturated and lacked the ridges it has in the final version. The sun was not present over Mount Fuji, and the different lighting made the clock on the Wako store appear significantly brighter. The bushes were less detailed, having a less rough texture and much simpler flowers. The platform which the flower bushes leading to the Kaminarimon are on did not have its outer layer raised. The cracks on the road that appear underneath the Thwomps were completely absent. The text on the "Welcome to Tokyo" sign was significantly dimmer. The roadside barriers with arrows had much simpler designs, with the arrows being 2D instead of fully modeled like they are in the final version. There is also footage of this course showing an early design for the [[Arrow field|arrow field]], in which the arrows have an identical design to the green arrow holograms in {{classic-link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NIQxr42pZA&t=23s</ref>.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} did not have the glide ramp shortcut on the grass patch. The wind shortcut was also not present in trailer footage despite appearing in a released screenshot. Flowers, bushes and other plants had different, less detailed designs and appeared in different locations. Some notable examples include how the grass patch with the glide ramp featured alternating groups of blue and orange flowers instead of the multicolored ones present in the final version, and how the flower bushes were significantly less detailed and had red flowers and in smaller quantities compared to the pink flowers the final version has (oddly, future waves would exclusively use these lesser detailed flower bushes). The dividing stripes on the road continued through the starting grid instead of ending before it. The starting banner lacked details it has in the final version, such as the bolts on the columns, the lights across the top and most of the metal strips holding up the logo. The static coins at the turn adjacent to the wind shortcut appear to have initially been on the opposite side of the road.
*Prior to Wave 1's launch, {{classic-link|GBA|Sky Garden}}'s textures for the road and the vine bridges were significantly larger. The final row of Item Boxes was slightly further into the course, and the Double Item Box was on the opposite side of the road. There was one more [[Mushroom Trampoline]] present underneath the course compared to the final version. The glide ramp at the end of the course was invisible. There were far less grass blades around the course. The flowers were blue with a much simpler design, while the flower bushes had less distinct and detailed shapes with multiple colors of flowers instead of just pink flowers like in the final version.
*Prior to Wave 2's launch, the first row of Item Boxes in {{classic-link|Tour|New York Minute}} was on the bridge leading into Central Park instead of being before it like in the final version. There were no Toads behind the front desk of 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
*Prior to Wave 2's launch, {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}} had an additional coin in both the first turn and the turn with the first oil slick.
*Prior to Wave 2's launch, {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}} had a floating group of coins that would have been reached by taking the first glide ramp shortcut. The second row of Item Boxes was shown as only having single Item Boxes in what appears to be the first lap, with the same clip showing Item Boxes present on the train tracks similarly to lap 3 of the final version. An arrow fence was present beside the road shortly after the second overlap between the road and the train tracks.
*Prior to Wave 2's launch, the helicopter in {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} was missing the beam of light eminating from its flashlight. The padels had the electricity effect at all times unlike the final version in which they only exhibit it upon activating.
*Prior to Wave 2's launch, {{classic-link|GBA|Snow Land}} had a row of Item Boxes after the starting line, in place of the moving Item Boxes present in the final version. The coins on the sheet of ice were in different positions. The row of Item Boxes on the ramp at the end of the sheet of ice were instead placed later on the following road with differing Double Item Box placements, and the ramp instead had a row of coins which are substituted by coins shortly after it in the final version. Some of the snow such as that present on the starting banner had significantly less detail. Some of the trees present on the course used simpler models.
*Prior to Wave 2's launch, {{classic-link|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}} had various differences in the placements of flowers throughout the course. The first row of Item Boxes was placed slightly earlier.
*Prior to Wave 2's launch, [[Sky-High Sundae]] did not have coins on the first two giant pieces of ice. The left split path only had 3 Item Boxes and they were placed earlier. The second coin on the path of ice-cream cones was placed slightly earlier.
*When {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}} was shown in the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, the loop at the beginning of the course lacked the barriers blocking off the right side, similar to previous iterations of the course, and even had at least one coin present. The arrow on the Mario topiary was also not present. The first flowerbed shortcut was much smaller. The route used to turn around on lap three was completely blocked off by a fountain, and the ramps at the mansion were also not present, though there was seemingly nothing else blocking that path. The Mario Kart TV van, spectators and benches were also not in that section at the time. The first row of Item Boxes was closer to the start of the bridge. The row of coins at the entrance to the maze was not present. In the Direct, the row of Item Boxes in the maze was replaced with a row of coins. However, in a screenshot released shortly after, there was a row of Item Boxes like in the final version, but with the addition of at least one more Double Item Box. There were no spectators after the starting line, nor on the windowsills close to it. The coins on the left of the mansion were gone in favor of a row of coins at the top of the stairs, and the coins around the [[Piranha Plant]] were gone in favor of there being coins in the following section with the [[Monty Mole|Monty Moles]].
*When [[Merry Mountain]] was shown in the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, there was one shot in which there were no [[Spin Boost Pillar|Spin Boost Pillars]] on the mountain, with there instead only being a dash panel at the start of the descent. Screenshots would later show the mountain having both the dash panel and the Spin Boost Pillars, whereas the final version only has the latter. The suspended railroad had the ramp at the end angled more upwards than the rest of it, and was missing the wooden boards that are nailed onto it in the final version. The first row of Item Boxes was shown both not being present at all and being besides the grass shortcut, in which case taking the cut would not allow players to collect an item. The row of Item Boxes on the bridge were also not present. The Item Boxes at the top of the mountain were all lined up in a row, but with the Double Item Boxes still requiring drivers to take the [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]] to collect them, and there was also a higher number of coins placed above the half-pipe. There was one less coin in the row before the split paths. There were no sitting spectators at the train station, nor besides the later part of the train track. The Toads on the mountain did not wear coats, and there were no spectators around the half-pipe. The [[Snowman|snowman]] following the bridge was not present.
*When [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] was shown in the February 2023 Nintendo Direct, [[Poochy]] was not present on the mailbox. The first row of Item Boxes was even closer to the bridge. Every arrow sign was double-sided, and the waterfalls had white outlines. There were less Yoshi spectators at in the first section of the course, but there was an additional [[Petal Guy]] next to where the second [[Stilt Guy]] is. The ramp leading into the underwater section had an additional coin, and the Yoshi spectator to the left of it was on the ground instead of on the tree root like it is in the final version. The underwater geysers had an effect at the bottom that resembled water splashing out of them, appeared less transparent and had fewer, smaller bubbles. The Yoshi spectator on the tower atop the clouds was not present, while the Paratroopas in this section were static instead of flying from side-to-side as in the final version. The animation for the pieces of the red bridge falling into place was simpler, with them already being in a horizontal position instead of flipping over like they do in the final version.
*When [[Squeaky Clean Sprint]] was shown in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, there were no coins on top of the sink and the [[Yoshi's Egg]] soap dispenser. The nails on the wooden shelf had a darker color and were less reflective.
*When {{classic-link|Wii|Daisy Circuit}} was shown in the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, the objects to the left of the statue of Daisy and Luigi were arranged differently. The row of Item Boxes was in the opposite order, while the cones and coins were on the left half of the road. The cones and coins to the right of the statue of Baby Daisy and Baby Luigi were a little earlier. The glide ramp shortcut only had one Double Item Box. The two groups of coins around the lighthouse were both missing a coin. There were no coins in front of the [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart Wii#Daisy Candy|Daisy Candy]] sign.

===Original order of courses in Waves 3 to 6===
In version 2.1.0 and onwards, the internal file names for some of the courses in the ''Booster Course Pass'' suggest that the release order in their respective cups differs from the originally planned order. Every course's internal file name has two digits, with the first indicating its intended wave and the second indicating its position in said wave (for example, {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}' file name is "Cnsw_35", indicating that it is the fifth track in Wave 3, or the first track in the [[Moon Cup]]). In addition to several courses changing their order within their wave, several courses also switched waves entirely, such as {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}, which was set to be in Wave 3's Moon Cup but was delayed to Wave 4 in favour of {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}, whose internal file name suggests that it was once slated for Wave 6's Acorn Cup. Additionally, Wave 6 was originally intended to have 3 tracks without prefixes, but two of them were replaced by {{classic-link|Wii|Moonview Highway}} and {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}}, as indicated by their filenames. It was also originally intended to have a fourth GCN course, but was replaced by {{classic-link|Wii|Daisy Circuit}}, as indicated by its filename.


===Awards and acknowledgements===

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' has been received with universal acclaim, garnering higher aggregate scores than the original ''Mario Kart 8''. The game has been praised for being well-suited to the Switch's portability, the increased performance, and particularly the redesigned Battle Mode, although several reviews noted ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' would not be as appealing of a proposition to players who already own ''Mario Kart 8'' and its downloadable content.

|align=left|''While purists may accuse Mario Kart 8 of being a opportunistic rehash, Nintendo's goal was to give the Switch a racing game that is fun, polished, filled with content, and able to showcase the Switch's hybrid nature. These four objectives are mostly accomplished, and the game will have no problem seducing newcomers considering how well the formula has been mastered.

|align=left|''Even if you didn't really care about Battle Mode, the smallest changes in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe refine an already great racing game. But the huge overhaul to the original's afterthought of a Battle Mode is a chaotic, varied opportunity to play very differently than in Grand Prix mode and well worth reinvesting yourself in Mario Kart 8 on Switch.''

|4.5/5
|align=left|''Thanks to substantial DLC releases, Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U went from being a game with plenty of content, to one with an overload of it. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch has all of that, plus the return of the battle mode (which should never have left), and while it won't be a '''new''' game as such for the people who actually bought a Wii U (we're a special club), having this game on a portable console is reason enough to buy it all over again.''
