OVERVIEW:
Start your engines and put the pedal to the metal – purchase a Nintendo Switch console* and receive a download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership – the service that lets friends and families play compatible games together online
With the festive season just around the corner, this special offer is the ideal gift for friends and family looking to race together anytime, anywhere. With a pair of Joy-Con controllers included with the Nintendo Switch console, plus the download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online, it’s got everything two players need to start racing right from the get-go
Up to four players can get in the fun by using additional Joy-Con controllers, sold separately. And because Nintendo Switch can be played anytime, anywhere, with anyone, those races could be on the big TV screen at home, in the back of the car, or wherever else the racers in your life feel like hitting the track. You can also challenge racers from around the world. Up to 12 players can take part in online races**, and two local players can even play online together from the same Nintendo Switch
In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, familiar characters from the Super Mario series, such as Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser, as well as other fan-favourite Nintendo series, such as Link from the Legend of Zelda series, Inklings from the Splatoon series, and Isabelle from Animal Crossing series compete in races set around the world of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. Racers have to be prepared to get ahead of their rivals through the use of items such as the Super Star – which makes players invincible for a short period of time – and the notorious Spiny Shell, which will hunt down and attack the player in first place
