Sonic isn’t the only new character modders are bringing into Mario Kart. Recently, Twitter user SmashingRenders showed that he was able to get Kirby into the game.

Here’s a look:

SmashingRenders paid extra attention to the small details. When on the anti-gravity portions of the track, the star lights up.

You can download the mod here. It replaces the BiddyBuggy with the WarpStar kart and Koopa with Kirby.

Another piece of significant information has been reported stemming from the April 2017 NPD report. According to Mat Piscatella, an analyst for the company, Mario Kart is the all-time best-selling racing franchise in the U.S.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the best-selling game in the U.S. last month despite being on the market for just two days. In that short period, over 460,000 physical units sold. With digital sales included, the total exceeds 550,000 units.
