Like ''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'', this pack contains three new [[List of characters|characters]], four new vehicles (3 [[kart]]s and a [[bike]]), a new set of [[tire]]s, a new [[glider]], and two new cups with four courses each.

===Characters===

These characters, once obtained, may appear as computer racers. Additionally, in online races, players that have not purchased the pack can see other players use these characters. All 3 of these characters make their playable debut in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] through this pack. In addition, Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach, despite being forms of their respective base characters, are considered separate from them in this game and take up different locations on the character select screen.
