As one of the major highlights, players can connect two karts to one Switch system for split-screen multiplayer or play any Grand Prix cup with 2-4 players in the new Relay Race multiplayer mode. Additionally, Luigi Cup has been added with three new tracks: Windmill Meadows, Music Broadway, and King Boo’s Courtyard. Those that come within third place here will be able to unlock the new Poltergust G-00 kart and Spooky Horn.

Following up on its recent Switch promo with tennis athlete Serena Williams, Nintendo has put out a new Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit video featuring professional race car driver Kyle Busch. Below, Busch creatures his own course in the Switch title.

The ability to drift is a staple of the Mario Kart series. However, for Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, the feature wasn’t always a sure thing to be included.

In a recent blog post, Velan Studios Karthik Bala co-founder noted how adding drift initially seemed “impossible”. But the functionality eventually found its way in following a “late-project weekend experiment at Velan, with some suggestions from the Nintendo team”.

Bala wrote about including drift:

My Nintendo has updated in North America with a trio of physical rewards. Two are for Pikmin 3 Deluxe and a third is for Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.

To start, Nintendo lists that the guard rails and in-game signs can be replaced by printing new ones. There is no special proprietary element to the ones provided and if any are lost, they can just be printed out and will still show up in the game. They even include a pdf for all the signs and markings.
