Mario Kart 8's latest DLC wave adds something for the non-expansion pass players too now that custom item controls have been added to the racer.
Nintendo are turning the Switch version into the ultimate platform for kartheads by adding all the tracks you used to love as well as new powers for tuning your multiplayer fun.
As well as being able to set the pool of items you can randomly be gifted in races to "nothing but Blue Shells" you can also assign each team in Battle Mode a weapon of choice.
With Custom Items in #MarioKart 8 Deluxe, you can even allocate specific items to each team in Team Races and Battles. Question is, which team gets the Spiny Shell?!
