A new 200CC mode is coming to Mario Kart 8 alongside the new Animal Crossing-themed Mario Kart 8 DLC pack, which is due out on April 23. While the Animal Crossing pack will be $7.99 if you didn't buy the bundle last year, the new 200CC mode is a free update that adds more speed than ever before.
The Animal Crossing pack includes Dry Bowser, both male and female Villager, and Isabelle as racers. One of the new Animal Crossing tracks changes for different seasons and features new Animal Crossing music recorded live. Two of the new karts are called the City Tripper and the Streetle.
Additionally, more Amiibo figures will be supported to add costumes to your Mii, including Sonic, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Bowser, Rosalina, Olimar, Wario, Villager, and Toad.
The whole update is due out on April 23. To recap: Animal Crossing DLC pack will cost money. 200CC mode will not.
You should be able to import your AC characters into the game for use.
I would have loved the 200cc to drop all items except for mushrooms and made the levels truly about racing.
Oh yeah, now when I get cheap shot by a blue shell followed by 10 red shells I'll have even less chance of finishing the race. 150cc was already bullshit enough with how cheap the computer was and now Nintendo decides they want to make those cheating rubberbanding motherfuckers even faster?
Oh well, at least it's free and will make multiplayer races a lot more fun. But for single player, nope nope nope.
Blue Shell for Smash 4?Shut this thread down.
I would have loved the 200cc to drop all items except for mushrooms and made the levels truly about racing.There already is an item option to use only mushrooms, and a few other item options.
