Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Perhaps you want to save the platforming goodness for when Super Mario Odyssey arrives? If so, no problem. You can get your Mario fix from a racing game instead. And what better way to play Mario Kart than with the latest and greatest entry, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
You could easily keep yourself occupied with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s online modes. Now is as good a time as any to raise your rank while also getting yourself in the Mario mood. Or you could spend some time earning all of the gold cups in 200cc to unlock Gold Mario. We know from trailers that Super Mario Odyssey will feature tons of references to past games. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s huge character roster could be just what you need to brush up on a bit of Mario’s history before diving into Odyssey.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is available on Switch. Or if you have a Wii U, you could buy the original Mario Kart 8. It’s the same game minus a few characters, tracks and the battle mode.
