Content can be unlocked at random by launching the “Pipe” after completing races or getting involved with microtransactions.
We now have some additional information as to how the Pipe works. Each one has 100 launches in total, though players are guaranteed to receive the time-sensitive Tour Spotlight items like Pauline within those 100. Although Pipes can be reset, there’s no guarantee of being given all unique items within its use. Obtaining duplicate items can cause a character’s, kart’s or glider’s skill level to increase.
As for the gatcha/appearance rates, they are as follows:

According to a GamesIndustry report, the Switch Lite sold roughly 13,500 units during its first week in the UK.
While that may seem like a low number, debut sales were not expected to be high. The device should pick up steam closer to Christmas, as was the case for the 2DS. That portable system sold 200,000 units in about two months, though sales primarily increased after the October half-term holiday.
As for Switch in general, it’s sitting at a total of around 1.9 million units sold since launch. It’s slightly better than the 3DS, which reached 1.9 million sales by the end of November 2013.
