Also Koopalings.The game was later ported to the Nintendo Switch as. While the base game is largely the same, it did receive a number of balance tweaks and new features, such as the ability to hold two items at once, a revamped Battle Mode with new courses, six new playable characters (including the Inklings from ), and three new vehicles. Contents.Cut CharactersMario Kart 8 has one of the biggest rosters of playable characters in the entire franchise.

Despite the size, emblem data suggests there were going to be more playable racers. Most cut characters would later be given second chances down the road, however. A Magikoopa character was planned to make an appearance. Their emblem still exists in the game. The color variants of Yoshi and Shy Guy were planned to be in the game from the start and not obtained by purchasing both DLC packs.

Dry Bowser was planned to be in the game as his emblem is still in 1.0, but he was later added back as DLC in DLC Pack 2. Tanooki Mario was supposed to be in the vanilla game as well but was added through DLC Pack 1. The Mii character was originally split up into two categories: male and female. It was later decided to merge them into one. Gold Mario was planned to be in the game as well, but was scrapped.

He was later added as a costume for Metal Mario in. Fire Mario was planned to appear in the game in some shape or form, but was ultimately decided against.Unused Tracks TestThis unused track is found at ID 0x01. It's a copy of Mario Circuit from the Flower Cup, but without music. Additionally, the orange arrow signs are not animated.

According to interviews, Mario Circuit was the first track designed for this game, so this is very likely intended for testing. It works the same in Battle Mode as well.

VRMenu (reflection map)VRMenu (ObjId 7025), referenced in the internally used track GuMenu to draw the menu background, is not rendered when used on tracks. It only consists of the reflection map which can be indirectly seen on karts in the character and parts selection screens. On tracks, it results in no skybox being drawn at all, leaving traces of models previously rendered in front of the sky. The reflection map represents an empty hall with a lot of pillars. The game uses special coding for VRMenu, since when removing or replacing it in GuMenu, no menu background graphics like the main menu characters or the blue backgrounds are drawn anymore, and the whole online lobby will not be rendered at all - only the UI above remains.

There are four unused cup icons. They reuse older artwork for the central objects and lack the same extra decorations that the normal icons have. Their file names refer to them as CupIconDLC00 through CupIconDLC03, indicating that these were placeholders for the DLC cups.

Of the released DLC cups, only the Yoshi Egg has been used, albeit with a brand new icon. These icons possibly imply that DLC content for the game would be more related to the Mario franchise itself, and not crossover with other franchises like the Zelda and Animal Crossing franchises. Jugemobjlaplightemm.2.gtxLakitu contains a texture showing a final lap or section 2 (hence the 2 is golden), but the final game always displays the 3/3 board for the last lap or section, no matter the number of total laps (except for 7 laps which it handles correctly to support Baby Park). However, during E3 2013, there were Mario Kart 8 demos in which people could try out Mario Kart 8 before its release - all races that were in the demo only had two laps, which required the use of this graphic. Track Textures EarlyUsedThe computer screens in Rainbow Road have 8 frames of animation, but a 9th animation frame is present. This last frame is actually an early version of the first frame.

The bar charts are all empty, the infoboxes use solid lines instead of fake text, and the blue glow around the edges is missing. The Blooper shuttle is shown with different lighting and with a parallel projection, but the model itself appears to be the same. The space station is displayed at a different angle and has no textures or background. It is possible that this was a stylistic choice and does not necessarily indicate that the image was made before the texturing of the course was complete. Cthousewindowalb.gtxThere are two copies of the building windows texture in Toad Harbor, one of which has big red numbers in the place of where the posters should go. Dream chronicles.

The positioning of the numbers don't match the final poster placement and seem to indicate that taller or thinner posters were planned. There is also a small white and blue image next to the eighth spot. The texture itself is used on all of the windows outside of the marketplace area, and was likely left in due to the windows being identical in both versions. (Source: )This update also changed how rating points were distributed through online matches: the required placement to gain ranking points was raised significantly for players with a large rating advantage, possibly to arrest VR and BR inflation. (This change was effectively reversed in Version 3.0.)As of 2.0, the 'random' option in online matches no longer has a chance of selecting one of the three tracks up for election (except for Battle mode, where this is still possible).Version 3.0The Version 3.0 update was released on November 13, 2014. This patch was required for online play. Adds DLC characters Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, and Link and courses from the Egg and Triforce Cups to the online rotation, if DLC Pack 1 has been purchased.

An option is provided to play online mode with downloadable courses or without, although no such feature is provided for downloadable characters. Preemptively implements amiibo functionality and adds the appropriate icon to the main menu (the first wave of amiibo would not be released until November 21).

This feature allows players to unlock themed racing suits for Mii characters by placing a compatible figure on the Game Pad's NFC area. The Mii icon in the character select was updated to indicate this. Fixes balance issues and implements a number of other fixes for overall player enjoyment. (Source: ) Version 4.1The version 4.1 update was released on May 1, 2015, and automatically unlocks the Mirror and 200cc classes if they weren't unlocked already, among other minor fixes.Totaka's SongA short signature tune of Kazumi Totaka's, this tune is hidden in almost every game in which he has composed music for. Some tracks in the game feature Yoshis that cheer for the racers, and there is a chance one of them will be singing the song (as Totaka is also the voice of Yoshi). But to make it even harder to listen to, it is low in volume and easily drowned out by the background music, the Yoshis' animations and sounds are set randomly every race, and the player cannot hear it in MKTV replays. Players must actually be racing the course.

To do:With all the locations found in the retail game and DLC Pack 1, there'll definitely be areas of interest in checking for DLC Pack 2, Animal Crossing track (K.K. Slider might be singing it), as well as the possibility that Villager and Isabelle may sing the song if sitting idle for long enough.Character Audio Filename OdditiesThe audio for most of the characters is mainly comprised of recordings from earlier games. Characters such as Mario, Luigi, and Wario have cleaner recordings of their voices, but mainly for boosting and tricks. Tanooki Mario, on the other hand, has recordings coming from a slew of Mario games, such as and to name a few. The developers even included the source game in the name of each sound file where applicable: 'Kart64' for Mario Kart 64, for example.Internal Project NameThe game's executable is referred to as Turbo.rpx. Like, it has files throughout the game data that also refer to the project name.
