|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' is an enhanced port of ''Mario Kart 8'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]], released in 2017. In addition to most of the original release's base and DLC content, the port includes additional features. Battle Mode is reworked to be similar to the format from previous ''Mario Kart'' games, and comes with eight exclusive arenas of its own. Boo and ''Super Mario Kart'''s [[Cape Feather|Feather]] are reintroduced as items after long being absent from the series' item lineup, with the latter being exclusive to Battle Mode; and players are now allowed to carry two items at once. More playable characters are added to the roster: [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Dry Bones]], [[King Boo]], [[Gold Mario]], [[Birdo]], [[Petey Piranha]], [[Wiggler]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Funky Kong]], who return from previous games, [[Kamek]], [[Pauline]], and [[Peachette]], who returns from ''Mario Kart Tour'', and the girl and boy [[Inkling]]s from ''[[inkipedia:Splatoon|Splatoon]]''. Other additional content includes new racing suits for Miis unlocked via amiibo, a simpler steering option, and additional kart parts for customization. Additional courses and characters for the game were released in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC expansion.
