Variety reports that this is “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s” second significant bit of downloadable content recently. Last month, Nintendo released a free patch that added Labo support to the game. Labo is Nintendo’s new DIY cardboard construction toy line designed to work with Switch software. The “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” DLC lets players control their in-game vehicles using the Toy-Con Motorbike from the Labo’s Variety kit. The Variety Kit costs $70 and also includes a model piano, fishing rod, and more. “Mario Kart” is the first non-Labo Switch game to get Toy-Con support. Nintendo said it will add more compatible titles in the future.
Mario Kart continues to impress with its amazing graphics and addictive game play. It’s hard to believe that this cool version of Link riding his Mad Max style dirt bike is part of the same universe as the one that started out on the Super Nintendo all the way back in 1992/1993.
