===How to unlock characters===
When you earn a gold trophy (be first place overall) in a cup for the first time, you unlock a random one of the unlockable characters
Black Shadow can not be unlocked like that. He will join the roster after beating the Story Mode.
==Modes==
===Grand Prix:===
You choose one of the cups and race on its four courses for the first place with 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, Mirror or 200cc
====Cups:====
*MUSHROOM CUP: Koopa's Racetrack (new Mario course), Cheep-Cheep Island (new Mario course), Fantasy Meadows (course from Kirby Air Ride), Snowline Circuit (the course from the Bound Bowl Grand Prix in Super Mario Odyssey)
*TRIFORCE CUP: Mario Circuit (new Mario course), Inkopolis Square (the main hub from Splatoon 2 modified as a racetrack), Daisy's Hotel (new Mario course), Hyrule Raceway (new Zelda course)
*POKEBALL CUP: Crescent Island (course from Diddy Kong Racing), Gadd's Laboratory (new Mario course), Chozo Ruins (Place from Medroid Prime modified as a racetrack), Pokemon-Park (Circuit with Pokemon on it and on the side of it)
*CROSSING CUP: Kakariko Market (new Zelda course), K.K.s Carnival (new Animal Crossing course), Bowser's Castle (new Mario course), Rainbow Road (new Mario course)
*BLUE FALCON CUP: Alola-Raceway (the region from Pokemon Sun and Moon modified as a racetrack where you drive over the first island devided in three sections like in some tracks in Mario Kart 7 and 8), Wario Colosseum (often wished remake of the Double Dash-course), Mute City (new F-Zero course), Checker Knights (course from Kirby Air Ride)
===Time Trials:===
You try to complete a course as fast as you can
===Versus:===
You can race with customised rules. Here you don't have to race the four courses of one cup.
===Battle Mode:===
You choose one of the four types of battles and battle with your opponents.
====Types of battles:====
*Balloon Battle: Every player has three balloons floating over them. These are the characters' lives. After being hit three times by an item, you lose
*Bell Runners: It's like Coin Runners/Coin Battle from previous Mario Kart titles, but with bells (the coins in the Animal Crossing series) You try to get the most bells, which lie on the ground. When you get hit by an item, three of your coins fall on the ground. These coins can then be collected by everyone
*Triforce Thief: It's like Shine Thief from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but instead of a Shine Sprite, one player must retrieve the Triforce, which lies on the course and keep hold of it for about 20 seconds, while the opponents use items against whoever has the Triforce to force that player to drop it.
*Splattershot Hunters: It's like Renegade Roundup from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This mode can only be played in teams. Half of the battling players have a Splattershot from Splatoon. They have to shoot the other half. The hunted players can use items and can be saved, when teammates free them with a switch on the ground
====Battle Courses:====
There are four new and four returning Battle Courses:
New: Whispy Whoods' Arena (Kirby), Clock Town (Zelda), Viridian City (Pokemon), Animal Crossing Village (Animal Crossing)
Old: Double Deck [N64], Delfino Pier [Wii], Tart Top [DS], Battle Course 4 [GBA]
===Black Shadow's Malice-Races (Story Mode):===
{in progress} Black Shadow, a foe of Captain Falcon, manipulates the tracks in the test phase so that the races can not start. The test driver you pick and steer must complete the tracks and complete similar missions as in Mario Kart DS:
=====Missions:=====
*TBA
==Items==
Super Mushroom 	Gives the player a speed boost (there is a triple version)
Banana 	Players hitting them spin out (there is a triple version
Green Shell 	Travels in a straight line and knocks over a kart it hits (there is a triple version)
Red Shell 	Follows the closest kart in front of the player and knocks it over (there is a triple version)
Spiny Shell 	Targets the racer in first place, flies to it and knocks it over
Gyroid 	(It works like the bullet bill) Transforms the player into a Gyroid from Animal Crossing and rushes through the track with auto-pilot. Terrain and items make no problems
Invincible Candy	(It works like the Superstar) This lollipop from the Kirby-series makes you invinsible and faster
Bombchu 	This bomb from the Zelda-series zigzags backwards and explodes with a blast radius after a short while or when it hits an opponent.
Mastersword 	(It works like the Super Leaf) You swing it around your kart and  hit your opponents. It has lost the protective ability of the Super Leaf to fend off items. But you still can collect coins on the track with it
Splattershot 	For ten seconds you shoot with this weapon from splatoon forwards or backwards ten times. It shoots very far. It's the only item in the battle mode "Splattershot Hunters"
Bubbler 	A shield appears around the kart and kinda works like the heart from  Double Dash. If you get hit by a green shell,red shell or  banana you can use it yourself. It works one time per bubbler.
==Trivia==
*Some textures in the game are (greatly) improved textures from the flash game 'Dessert Racers', the first game from Pixel Fan
*At first, the game wasn't planned to be a crossover racing game. Originally the game was a normal Mario Kart game, but it was supposed to add more characters and tracks from other Nintendo Franchises like in Mario Kart 8. Planned characters to get added were Captain Falcon, Pikachu and Zelda
