Nintendo began offering a beta version of the game to a few select users in the United States and Japan, and the company is still readying the title for a wide release.

The game is said to use the same single-handed control scheme as used by Nintendo’s previous game, Super Mario Run. Players will be able to control their kart as it accelerates on its own.


Regular players of previous Mario Kart titles on other platforms will recognize tracks from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash, and Mario Kart 7.

A manual mode will be available to players that long for more of a challenge, and can choose from four levels of difficulty. The game will be set to the same familiar soundtrack as previous Mario Kart titles.

The freemium title – which will be free to download but offer in-game purchases – will include playable characters such as Luigi, Peach, Toad, Toadette, and more. Some characters will be available as in-game purchases.
