Mario Kart: Ultimate Challenge is a fan-made racing game developed by “BlooP-OW” for the Nintendo Switch. It is the tenth main installment of the Mario Kart series (and the sixteenth if include Ports/Remakes, Arcade, and RC-based games), and the third released for the Nintendo Switch, following Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.

Instead of introducing new elements that affect the courses’ layout, the game focuses on bring the maximum of elements from all previous games, in a proposal to consecrate itself as "the definitive landmark" of the series (in a similar concept of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), as well as bring exclusive original content, to bring a unique experience for all lovers of the Mario Kart series.

Gameplay

The gameplay maintains the traditional elements of previous Mario Kart games, mostly from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Players pick a Mario universe character, placed in one of five different weight classes that determine the base stats of the racer's vehicle. Players are then able to mix-and-match different customization pieces to create their racing vehicle of varying stats, strengths, and weaknesses, complementing the stats of the racers' vehicle. Racers are then settled to race across a variety of fully 3-dimensional racetracks, with the goal of passing the finish line first. While racing, players can pick up items from Item Boxes to either help themselves or hinder other racers, where the probability of receiving items is dependent on the racers' distance from the frontrunner.

Elements that affect the courses’ layout, like jumping ramps from Mario Kart Wii, gliding and underwater sections from Mario Kart 7, and anti-gravity sections, introduced in Mario Kart 8, return, acting on a comparable way to their previous appearances. It should be noted that all race and battle courses from previous games have returned for this installment, receiving great visual improvement, in addition to modifications from their original appearances, to bring unique elements to each track and references to Mario series.

Some race techniques also appear on the game, like the Rocket Star, the Mini Turbo levels after successful automatic drifting, Jump Boosts, Glider Boosts, Spin Boosts and Slipstream. A newly feature introduced to the series is the Item Charge, where the player, with some items, can charge their power before using, giving them a secondary use, such as shooting the entire item in one powerful shot. Slide Attack also returns, exclusively to Double Dash Versus mode.

Collectable coins can be found along the track, increasing the racer's overall top speed, and, like Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart Tour, there is no cap to the total of Coins that can be collected. Newly introduced coins with increased values also helps to buy item tickets, alternate costumes, pipes and vehicle parts on the Coin Shop.

Vehicle customization, introduced in Mario Kart 7, also returns, allowing the player to customize its vehicle according to the available vehicle parts. Players can customize the vehicle body (which can appear as Kart, Bike or ATV), alongside its Tires and Glider, like in Mario Kart 8, and Horn, like in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. Notably, the bodies can undergo modifications at the Double Dash Versus mode (and on Moon Taxi Battle mode), to hold two racers, with karts having a front seat where a character drives the kart and a rear platform where the second character is able to use an item, taken from the Item Boxes. It should be noted that all vehicle parts from previous games have returned for this installment.

Other returning features, such as Special Items and the “two racers in one vehicle” concept from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mission Mode from Mario Kart DS, Frenzy mode concept from Mario Kart Tour, or auto-accelerate and smart-steering for beginners from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, will be explained throughout the page. Alongside this, there are several new features and additional modes which shift up gameplay in several ways; these features will also be explained throughout the page.

Game Modes

After the main title screen, the player goes to the selection screen, to select one of the game modes (like the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate one). The main game modes on this installment are numbered and described below.

1) Adventure Mode: Ultimate Challenge

Story

Coming soon...

Gameplay

A new addition to the series, the Adventure Mode: Ultimate Challenge, is a single player campaign revolving around a big racing championship and a new foe that the player, as a Mii, must try and beat. This mode is based on the adventure modes from SSB series and story modes from Mario Tennis Aces, Mario Golf: Super Rush and Mario Super Sluggers.

The gameplay procedure for this mode includes a more in-depth story and the main hub being the Mario Kart World (an open world with an overall map screen involving the interconnection of the race and battle tracks). The player must explore the Mario Kart World and solve certain objectives (these being highly based on missions/tournaments/bonus challenges from MKDS, MKW and MKT, respectively, but also on Races and Battles) to get rewards, in order to get to the main goals to proceed to the last showdown, in addition to recruiting/saving the other unlockable racers. The player is tasked to complete objectives in a short series of events to earn a ranking similarly to that in Grand Prix mode. Almost always the ranks depend on how much time is left or taken, or if the objective was completed successfully.

Objective Types

To progress through the Adventure Mode, the player must solve varying objective types, as it follows:

• Win the Race: Player must win a race against another racer or group of racers; usually this type of objective is crucial to unlocking some racer (usually this runner has some advantage in the race, such as permanent use of some item, such as Mega Mushroom, special item or star); in some challenges, the number of challengers can exceed 15, reaching up to 99.
• Win the Battle: Player must win a battle against another racer or group of racers; usually this type of objective is crucial to unlocking some racer (usually this runner has some advantage in the race, such as permanent use of some item, such as Mega Mushroom, special item or star); in some challenges, the number of challengers can exceed 15, reaching up to 99.
• Take out the Racer: Player must chase down a opponent racer and has to hit them with offensive items to take out all of their balloons within a time limit usually this type of objective is crucial to unlocking some racer (usually this runner has some advantage in the race, such as permanent use of some item, such as Mega Mushroom, special item or star).
• Ring Race: The objective is to pass through a certain number of rings, stationary or moving, along the course, before reaching the finish line. Often, the player must pass them in a specific order, with the rings being numbered. Other times, additional, smaller rings appear inside a larger one, increasing the number of rings the player passes. Other times, players must follow some element on the track that will project the rings along the course for a limited time. These rings give to the racer temporary speed boosts forwards.
• Coin Collect: The objective is to collect as many coins as possible on the track and save them before reaching the finish line. Players can lose these coins due to some obstacle along the way, not being able to get them again. Players should also focus on getting higher value coins.
• Item Box Break: The objective is to run over and break a certain number of item boxes in a course before reaching the finish line. They can stay still or move in a variety of different patterns, such as sliding along the road, sliding side to side, or revolving, and they can emerge from pipes or other off-road spots, and disappear into other spots if they are not broken in time. Item Boxes found in these challenges only drop a single item, which can be used to reach other Item Boxes more easily or destroy obstacles that prevent other Item Boxes from being reached. In some missions, the player must be careful not to pick up the fake item boxes instead of the real ones.
• Boost Jump: The objective is to perform a certain number of Jump Boosts in a course before reaching the finish line. Courses contain additional ramps not found during regular races to help the player perform Jump Boosts more often. In addition, the player is prevented from returning to already accessed ramp points if it fails to perform a Jump Boost.
• Combo Attack: The objective is to perform a certain number of combos in succession before reaching the finish line. The player must start, maintain, and increase combo points, before the time between one combo and another ends, using items (mainly Coins and Mushrooms), Dash Panels, Jump Boosts, Glide Boosts, Spin Boosts and Mini-Turbos to advance in the player's combo count, though they must be used in quick succession, or the player will have to start a new combo sequence. If a combo streak is broken, the combo counter will only increase again by surpassing the highest combo achieved previously in the same run.
• Glide Challenge: The objective is to glide as far as possible into a large gap before hitting the ground again, with rings, air currents and other obstacles typically either aiding or preventing the player from reaching the objective, although they must navigate to the next possible air current, or the challenge will end prematurely.
• Glide Target: The objective is to score points by driving towards the targets while gliding and landing closest to the middle of the large target near the ground, with rings, air currents and other obstacles typically either aiding or preventing the player from reaching the objective. When gliding past targets in the air, players can earn 100 points for sliding through the center circle, 50 for sliding through the middle ring, or 30 for sliding through the peripheral ring. For the large target, players can earn 500 points for landing on the center circle, 400 for the near center ring, 300 for the middle ring, 200 for the near peripheral ring, or 100 for the peripheral ring. Players may also not score for completely missing any of the targets.
• Steer Clear: The objective is to maneuver around and avoid obstacles in a course and reach the finish line before all three balloons pop. Courses contain additional hazards, enemies and obstacles not found during regular races to hinder the player's progress. If all the player's balloons are popped, they will have to restart the challenge from the beginning, since the ranking depends on how many balloons the player still has.
• Enemy Takedown: The objective is to eliminate a certain number of enemies or hazards on a course before reaching the finish line. These enemies or hazards can appear individually, in groups, or in stacks, and can be eliminated by interacting with them in any way, including landing on top of them after jumping or gliding, driving into them after speed boosts or spin boosts, or, in most cases, using items from Item Boxes.
• Shrink Smash: The objective is to crush a certain number of shrunken racers on a course before reaching the finish line. These little racers can appear individually or in groups and can be knocked out simply by running over them or using items from Item Boxes.
• Turbo Spin: The objective is to perform a certain number of Spin Boosts in a anti-gravity areas of a course before reaching the finish line. Courses contain additional Spin Boost Pillars not found during regular races, or even expand the anti-gravity area, to help the player perform Spin Boosts more often. In addition, the player is prevented from returning to already accessed ramp points if it fails to perform a Spin Boost.
• Onroad only: The objective is to maneuver around and avoid offroad sections on a course and reach the finish line before all three balloons desintegrates. In these challenges, the entire offroad sector is covered in dark matter, a purple and black swirling liquid that can disintegrate the rider's balloons. If all of the player's balloons are disintegrated, the racer will also be desintegrated, having to restart the challenge from the beginning, as the ranking depends on how many balloons the player has left. In some challenges, the racer will be forced to use ramps or other objects or techniques to pass through the prohibited sections.
• Boss Battle: The objective is to defeat the main boss, using specific items, before all five balloons the player have pop. Each of these bosses has its own battleground stage (these battlefields are unique to boss battles) and require a specific strategy to defeat. Typically, the boss has a health slot, much like in the Mario Party series.

List of Objectives

2) Grand Prix

Grand Prix is a single-player mode in which the player competes against other CPU racers in a series of tracks, known as a Cup (most of cups have 4 tracks, although some ones may have more or less), with the goal of getting 1st place at each race, winning the most points and win the Gold Trophy at the podium.

In this edition, some changes were present. Unlike other editions, for the first time, races take place against 15 opponents, as opposed to 12 or 8. Also, in almost all race classes, the player can have access to 1 Item Ticket per course on a cup, guaranteeing access to spin the item slot(s) one extra time without hitting an Item Box.

One of the most drastic changes presented for this game is the absence of the 50cc mode in Grand Prix, due to its great ease of play, in addition to the introduction of other modes. Due to this, this class is only presented in the game's tutorial mode, with the 100cc class being the initial one to be played in the Grand Prix. Furthermore, instead of just presenting the difficulty classes as in previous games, two new main difficulty groups were created to arrange the classes cohesively.

Finally, due to the inclusion of all tracks from previous games, alongside new tracks, a new category was created to separate the cups according to their original appearances, in championships.

Dificulty Groups

After selecting Grand Prix at the selection screen, the screen will split in half, showing two new groups for the player to select the difficulty level it will play: Engine Speed, that includes classes with changes only on engine class, keeping the original circuit layout, and Circuit Variant, that includes classes with unique changes of the circuit layout, but keeping the 150cc engine class. After selecting the difficulty group and one class, the player must choose the racer and then, customize its entire vehicle to select the cup.

Engine Speed

Engine Speed classes keep the "engine class changing" method from Super Mario Kart, without any change on the circuit layout. As the engine class value increases, the CPU speed and difficulty progressively increase as well. As said before, 50cc is no longer present in Grand Prix, with 100cc being the normal class, 150cc being the hard class and 150cc being the hardest class.

Like past games, 100cc, and 150cc engine classes are available by default. A new concept implemented exclusively for this Engine Speed group is the ranking transfer system: if the player decides to start in the 150cc, the victory data obtained in that class will be copied and transferred also to 100cc mode. Also, if your ranking in the upper class is better than in the lower class, that ranking will also be copied and transferred to the lower class. In this way, more experienced players will be able to enjoy the game in a less exhaustive and more competitive way.

The hardest engine class, 200cc, returns from Mario Kart 8 and is unlocked after winning all Cups of Course Variant's Crazy Mode. For this specific engine class, there is no ranking transfer to the lower engine classes.

Engine Speed class	Description	How to unlock
100cc	CPU racers run normally, on a medium difficulty level. Recommended for beginners.	Available from the start.
150cc	CPU racers run faster, on a hard difficulty level. It's not recommended for beginners, but it's perfect for the more experienced.	Available from the start. It is possible to transfer victory data to 100cc.
200cc	CPU racers are extremely fast and harmful, on the hardest dificulty level. Only recommended for the absolute best players.	To unlock 200cc Class, the player must win all the cups of Course Variant's Hazard and Crazy Classes.

Course Variant

Circuit Variant classes change the way the circuit presents itself, bringing course variations, instead of changing the speed and CPU difficulty, which keeps at 150cc for all classes. This group is unlockable, and, if the player wins all the cups of Engine Speed's 150cc Class, it unlocks two classes: Mirror and Reverse. As the player wins the cups of these classes, it unlocks more two classes: Weather and Trick. As the player wins the cups of these classes, it unlocks the final two classes: Hazard and Crazy, with the latter one being the mix of the previous ones (a reference to R/T courses variants from Mario Kart Tour).

Course Variant class	Description	How to unlock
Mirror	The courses are driven in mirror orientation, from left to right, making players take opposite turns to what they normally would.	To unlock Mirror Mode, the player must win all the cups of Engine Speed's 150cc Class.
Reverse	The courses are driven in reverse orientation, from the end to the beginning, and mostly just have alterations to make this possible if necessary.	To unlock Reverse Mode, the player must win all the cups of Engine Speed's 150cc Class.
Weather	Courses feature visually changes at the appearance of its landscape theme, mainly to opposite of of the track's regular counterparts, such as at time of day (sunrise, daytime, sunset, nighttime), weather (clear, rainy, foggy, snowy, windy) and/or season (autumn, winter, spring, summer). The mode can also change other cosmetic details of the tracks, or the color scheme, or even obstacle elements on the course.	To unlock Weather Mode, the player must win all the cups of Mirror and Reverse Classes.
Trick	Courses feature many additional ramps and trickable features, as the racers may have to do more tricks. Some specific instances do change up other things like adding ramps to replace glider sections, changing the way/order the course is raced around, or even changing the starting location.	To unlock Trick Mode, the player must win all the cups of Mirror and Reverse Classes.
Hazard	Courses feature many additional hazards, obstacles and enemies, as the racers may have to avoid getting hit.	To unlock Hazard Mode, the player must win all the cups of Weather and Trick Classes.
Crazy	Courses feature all the previous classes changes, such as: Being driven in mirror orientation, from left to right; Being driven in reverse orientation, from the end to the beginning; Having the landscape theme changed, mainly to opposite of their regular counterparts; Featuring many additional ramps and trickable features, as the racers may have to do more tricks; Featuring many additional hazards, obstacles and enemies, as the racers may have to avoid getting hit;	To unlock Crazy Mode, the player must win all the cups of Weather and Trick Classes.

Course Selection

This installment includes more courses than any other game, with every single racecourse from all the past games returning, as well as new racecourses organized in special nitro cups. To organize all these tracks, only the division in cups is not enough. Taking that into account, as the final part of Grand Prix selection, when accessing the course selection screen on Grand Prix (also on other modes), these courses are split into different cups, which are divided into different championships (that have one selection screen each).

A Championship represents a group of cups that contain courses, mostly from a specific Mario Kart game on it. Most of them are retro championships (each one has its Mario Kart game tracks on it, divided into cups). However, a Nitro Championship, with new exclusive courses, also is present on the game. Interestingly, as opposite to previous Mario Kart games, retro courses, which appear on Retro Championships, appear on the selection screen before the nitro courses (on Nitro Championship).

The championships that appear on the game are:

• SNES Championship: incorporates cups with all the original courses of the Super Mario Kart game;
• N64 Championship: incorporates cups with all the original courses of the Mario Kart 64 game;
• GBA Championship: incorporates cups with all the original courses of the Mario Kart: Super Circuit game;

• Live Championship: incorporates cups with all the original courses of the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit game;
• Nitro Championship: incorporates cups with all the exclusive new courses of the game;

If the player buys the Crossover DLC Pack, it will receive an additional championship:

• Crossover Championship: includes cups with retro and nitro tracks themed after other games rather than Mario (series);

There is also the Super Championship, which appear on a separated selection screen after the Nitro Championship (Crossover Championship if the player buys the Crossover DLC Pack), available only on 150cc and 200cc GP classes:

Cup Ranking

The rank of the cup is determined on how well the player has driven during all the races, like Mario Kart 8. However, the player is rewarded only if it wins a Gold Trophy on the cup, in Grand Star Ranks. The game no longer features letter score ranking.

• ranking: The player must finish all the races at one cup at first place;
• ranking: If the player finishes at least three races at first place (and the other at least on 2nd, 3rd, or 4th);
• ranking: If the player finishes at least two races at first place (and the others at least on 2nd, 3rd, or 4th);
• If the player finishes any race of the cup below fourth place, even if it wins the cup in first place in the final score, it will not receive any Grand Star Ranking;

3) Versus

Versus is a returning single-player and multiplayer free-running mode, where players can set their own rules as they want. This installment allows the most customization in the Mario Kart series thus far. Alongside this, newly Versus Modes are introduced, several new modes to provide fun and new experiences for players, with special gameplay.

After selecting Versus at the selection screen, the player must select one of the Versus modes it will play, and, after that, customize its own rules before choosing the racer and customize its vehicle.

Versus Modes

• Classic Versus: Drivers can race according to their own custom settings, but without other gameplay changes.
• Team Mania: Racers runs in teams, with the number of teams and racers at each team being pre-determined on customization rules. Items only work against racers from other teams, without any effect to the driver's team racers; with the arithmetic average of the players’ position of each team at the end of each race, the teams are scored and the team with the highest score wins.
• Relay Race: Involves players using up to three different racer and vehicle combinations for the same race, with the player not being able to use the same character and vehicle combination more than once. Each time a lap ends, the player switches to the next racer and vehicle in the rotation.
  • Single Player: The player can choose the different racers, and control each one of them as the laps are completed.
  • Challenging multiplayer: Works like single player, where each player can choose different drivers, and control each one of them as the laps are completed.
  • Cooperative multiplayer: Each player chooses only one racer and vehicle, and each player participates in a lap, switching to another as the laps are competed, like MKLHC.
• Double Dash: Players can choose two racers to race on the courses at once, on the same vehicle, with the mechanics of Mario Kart: Double Dash. The player can switch between racers on the kart and reserve items, allowing players to hold onto an item for later use. Trick techniques are twice as efficient, with the presence of the second racer on the kart. Slide Attack, the ability to spin out opposing racers and steal their items, is present as well.
• Frenzy Chaos: Racers receive three items after taking an item box, like Mario Kart Tour, however, instead of the slot stopping on an item automatically, it keeps spinning, and the player determines when it stops (like the Bonus Chance from SMB2). If the player gets the three of the same items, it activates the Frenzy mode, granting the racer invincibility for nine seconds, an unlimited supply of the item, and the advantage of performing Ultra Mini-Turbos much faster. Only one player can be in a Frenzy at the same time and, if any racer manages to activate the frenzy while another is already activated, the first frenzy ends before the nine seconds for the other to start. Also, sometimes, Item Boxes changes to Frenzy Item Boxes that immediately activates a Frenzy of a random item.
• Elimination: At each lap, an certain amount of racers who crosses the finish line last are eliminated, standing still next to the finish lap. The mechanic continues until there is only three players standing, that races on a final lap, with the first player who crosses the line eliminating the other two and winning the race. Only the three racers who races the final lap receives points (15 for first place, 10 for second place and 5 for third place).

Versus Customization

• Items: Players can determine how items are distributed, choosing whether an item will appear in the item box, whether an item will be exclusive to a team in Team Mania, or even if any item will be exclusive to a racer position;
• Engine Speed: Players can choose between 100cc, 150cc and 200cc engine classes, with the correspondent CPU difficulty;
• Circuit Variant: Players can choose between Normal, Mirror, Reverse, Weather, Trick, Hazard, and Crazy variants of courses;
• Vehicles: Players can determine which vehicle bodies can be used by the player and the CPUs, between Karts, Bikes and ATVs;
• Race count: Determines the total amount of races that will be played (minimum of two);
• Course selection: Players can determine how courses will be selected:
  • Chose: A course can be chosen after the one playable is finished;
  • Random: Courses are played in a random order;
  • In order: Courses are played in order; the first course is chosen by the player, and the next ones proceed according to the order in the Grand Prix;
  • Winner: The winner (first place) of the last race chooses the next course;
  • Loser: The loser (last place) of the last race chooses the next course;
• Racers: Determines the number of racers that will race, from 2 to 16;
  • Teams: Determines the number of teams on Team Mania, from 2 to 8, and the number of racers on each team;
  • Eliminations: Determines the number of racers eliminated at the end of each lap;
• Laps: Determines the number of laps that the racers must race on the tracks, from 1 to 9;
  • Sections: Determines the number of times players must race each section of a track that is divided into sections, from 1 to 3;
• Grand randomization: Choose randomly each rule above;

4) Battle

Battle is a returning single-player and multiplayer mode alternative to regular races, to add variety, including different Mario Kart-style minigames. They are played in special large arenas instead of racecourses, called Battle Courses, and must complete certain objectives depending on the selected minigame.

This installment includes more battle courses than any other game, with every single battle course from all the past games returning, as well as new battle courses. Much like on Mario Kart Wii, some battle courses are now unique in their feature, as that they can change throughout the battle, either periodically or once for all. Some of them, although, does not change, but still contain various obstacles and differences between them.

Battles are always played with a total of sixteen racers, much like normal races, although it also features a customization rules part, like in Versus. In some modes, the player can play individually or split into teams; in this case, the items only work against the other team; the number of teams and drivers in each team is also predetermined in the customization rules; players can be divided into a maximum of four teams.

Battle Minigames

Battle Minigames	Description
Balloon Battle	Can be played free-for-all and in teams. A score-based minigame, where each racer starts with three balloons and must use the items in the Item Boxes to pop the opponents' balloons, receiving a point for each popped balloon. However, if the player loses his three balloons, he will lose half of his current score, respawning with his three balloons regenerated. Balloons can never be recovered unless one is stolen from another player using a mushroom or cape feather. Once time ends, in free-for-all, the player with the most points wins, and, in teams, the points are tallied and the team with the most collective points wins.
Coin Runners	Can be played free-for-all and in teams. Each racer must collect coins spread on the battle arena before other racers do. Items from the Item Boxes can be used to hit other players, making them drop half of their coin amount. Mushroom, Cape Feather, and Star can steal other players’ coins without letting them drop before. Once time ends, in free-for-all, the player with the most Coins wins, and, in teams, the Coin counts are tallied up and the team with the most collective Coins wins.
Shine Thief	Can be played free-for-all and in teams. A single Shine Sprite appears in a random spot of the course, and all the players must race to collect it. As soon as a racer grabs the Shine, it must hold the Shine without being hit by any items, otherwise the Shine Sprite falls, and another racer has a chance to pick it up. When the player has the Shine Sprite in possession, the timer counts down from 30 counts, with one count equaling 1,5 seconds. If that player drops it when five or more counts remain, they have that time left to hold the Shine Sprite once they pick it up again. However, if a player drops when the remaining counts is below five and then picks it up again, the timer restarts from five counts. Mushroom, Cape Feather, and Star can let a racer steal the Shine from others without letting them drop before. The game ends when one player successfully finishes all 30 counts or once the time ends without anybody completing 30 counts. In the latter case, the number of counts is analyzed, and the player (or team) who has the fewest counts wins. In team battles, the timer counts down from 90 counts, however, it counts for all the racers of the team. Also, in this case, racers can pass the Shine to other members of the same team to keep the countdown.
Renegade Roundup	Can be played only in teams. A mode in the vein of "cops and robbers", with the racers being divided into two teams. One team, known as "The Authorities", must use Piranha Plant items (which are permanently attached to the front of their vehicle and only serve to capture the opposing team and do not operate like the regular item) to capture players from the other team, known as "The Renegades". Captured Renegades are placed into one of several jail cells floating above various points on the stage. Remaining Renegades can free their teammates by driving over a key switch placed below the jail cells. All Authority team members also temporarily lose their ability to capture after being hit by an item and Renegades receive a speed boost and temporary immunity when they are freed from the cells. The Renegades win if at least one member is still running free when time runs out, and the Authorities win if all the Renegades get captured.
Bob-Omb Blast	Can be played free-for-all only. This returning mode introduces a new gameplay compared to its previous appearances. Racers can only obtain Bob-ombs, Giga Bob-ombs and Bob-omb Cannons from Item Boxes to hit their opponents and can hold up from 1 to 10 Bob-oms, 1 to 5 Giga Bob-ombs and 1 to 2 Bob-omb Cannons. Every player has 9 black balloons at battle and will lose a balloon if contact an opponent's Bob-omb or get blown by its explosion (will lose two balloons if contact an opponent's Giga Bob-omb or get blown by its explosion). If a racer loses all his nine balloons, it will be eliminated, becoming a Mini-Bomb Kart. As a Mini-Bomb Kart, the racer may drive normally, though they still count as having lost the battle; however, it can still damage other drivers if collides with one of them, exploding and making every driver blown by its explosion lose three balloons. If the Mini-Bomb Kart eliminates at least another driver, it allows the eliminated racer to respawn, but only with 3 balloons, otherwise, the Mini-Bomb Kart disappears, and the racer is permanently eliminated. If a respawned racer gets eliminated again, it is permanently eliminated. The game continues until only one player remains, winning the game.
Star-Balloon Smash NEW!	Can be played free-for-all only. A “new” mode based on the traditional last-man-standing setup Balloon Battle, where players use items to pop the opponents' balloons, where each racer starts with five star-shaped balloons and must use the items in the Item Boxes to pop the opponents' balloons. However, if the player loses all his five balloons, it will be eliminated. Eliminated racers will be put on a Lift that circles the perimeter of the stage, with floating Item Boxes, which can be used to throw items at opponents from offstage, much like on Mario Kart Tour. The game continues until only one player remains, winning the game.
Gem Grabbers NEW!	Can be played free-for-all and in teams. A “new” mode based on Shine Runners from Mario Kart DS. Fifteen Super Gems are scattered along the course, and each racer must collect them on the battle arena before other racers do. Items from the Item Boxes can be used to hit other players, making them drop one Super Gem, which will appear in a random location on the course for another player to grab. Mushroom, Cape Feather, and Star can steal other players’ Gems without letting them drop before. When the timer reaches zero, any players with the fewest Super Gems get removed from the game, the Super Gems will scatter and the timer resets. If everyone has the same number, no one is removed. The process repeats until only one player (or team) remains, winning the game.
Fishin' Boo Haunt NEW!	Can be played free-for-all only. A new mode in the vein of "Hide and Seek", where 3 Fishin' Boos appears with its blue flames in random spots of the course, trying to capture racers with their fishing rods and possessing them. Each racer starts with 50 points and the objective is to avoid being possessed by Fishin' Boos, since, when captured, they start to lose 1 point per second. If a racer is possessed, they must pass Fishin' Boo to another pilot for his point counter to slowly start recovering (1 point every 2 seconds, however, only 5 points can be recovered). The driver whose points are reduced to 0 will be eliminated. Being hit by items causes the pilot to lose 2 points and is more likely to be captured. After 1 and a half minutes, 2 more Fishin' Boos will appear to possess more pilots. The game continues until only one player remains, winning the game.
Thwomp Awakening NEW!	Can be played free-for-all only. A new mode in the vein of "Hot Potato", where two random players will have sleeping Thwomps hovering over them for 20 seconds. These racers have much higher speed and acceleration and may pass the Thwomp to an opponent by bumping into them or hitting them with items. Each pass makes the total running time of the Thwomp about 1 second longer. If other racers use their kart’s horn, it can wake the Thwomp easier, losing 1 second of the total running time. When the timer reaches zero, the Thwomps awake and smash the racer under it, eliminating them. Three more Thwomps will spawn over other players, chosen at random, and the timer resets. The process repeats with duos or trios of Thwomps, until only two players remain, where one of them will receive a sleeping Star Thwomp hovering over them for 35 seconds. The game continues until only one player remains, winning the game.
Turnip Turmoil NEW!	Can be played only in teams. A new mode in the vein of "Capture the Flag", with the racers being divided into two, three or four teams. Each team has a base at a point in the course (marked by a flag with its emblem) and, next to each base, there is a basket of Turnips, with 10 Turnips. If a player bumps into another team's basket, they steal one of its Turnips, and each player can only take a maximum of three Turnips (getting slower) and needs to stand still in the basket for a few seconds to do so. Players can also find additional turnips scattered around the arena. Getting hit by items causes the driver to lose all the Turnips he has on his kart. The objective is to steal as many Turnips from other baskets, return to your base without being hit, bringing as many Turnips as possible to your basket, and protect your basket from opponents. Once time ends, the team with the most turnips in their basket wins.
Chomp Owners NEW!	Can be played only in teams. A new mode, with drivers being divided into two, three or four teams. Each team has a giant Chain Chomp that moves freely around the stage, which can damage any racer (including the team's own owners) and has a health bar, subject to being damaged by items. The main objective is to destroy the other team's Chomps, in addition to defending your own. The more health a Chomp takes away, the angrier and stronger it gets. However, if the Chomp is damaged once, and takes no more damage, it gradually recovers its health bar automatically. If Chomp is destroyed, all team members are eliminated. The game continues until there is only one Chain Chomp left, from the team that wins the game.
Moon Taxi NEW!	Can be played free-for-all and in teams. A new mode, in which players must function as taxi drivers, leaving different NPCs, who are randomly scattered on the course, at their destinations, located at other random points of the course. In this mode, karts undergo changes to accommodate more than 1 passenger (like in Double Dash Versus mode). Each NPC gives a Power Moon to the pilots when they reach their destination. Sometimes players need to leave with more than one NPC at the same time, making the kart heavier and slower, however, more than one Power Moon is delivered if they are taken to the destination. If the player is damaged by an item, the NPC will run along the route and may be picked up by another driver. The more Power Moons the player gets, the faster and lighter his kart becomes, being able to leave more and more NPCs. Also, getting hit by items causes the pilot to lose a Power Moon, which can be captured by another pilot (much like in Shine Thief). Once time runs out, the player with the most Power Moons wins.
Rotten Infection NEW!	In this new mode, a giant Rotten Mushroom will follow every racer in the arena. If a racer is touched by the mushroom, he will be engulfed and infected, eliminated. The previously absorbed racer is expelled in zombie form, which can help infect other racers. An infected racer, approaching a healthy racer, will infect and eliminate it. The more pilots are infected, the bigger and faster the mushroom gets. Additionally, by infecting half the total number of pilots, it begins to leave a trail of poison in its wake, which can slow down the remaining healthy pilots. Items can be used to damage other healthy racers, making them more vulnerable to being infected, or to damage infected racers or the giant mushroom, keeping them away from the racer. However, every 5 times the giant mushroom is damaged, it spits one 1-Up Mushroom, which is used to heal one infected racer (the order in which players were infected is the same as the healing preference of a 1-Up Mushroom, with the first infected racer being the first to be healed). However, if a healed racer gets infected again, it is permanently eliminated. The mushroom explodes when only one player remains (or more if they are on the same team), winning the game.

Battle Customization

• Items: Players can determine how items are distributed, choosing whether an item will appear in the item box or whether an item will be exclusive to a team;
• CPU difficulty: Determines the difficulty of the CPU racers: easy, normal, hard, hardest;
• Vehicles: Players can determine which vehicle bodies can be used by the player and the CPUs, between Karts, Bikes and ATVs;
• Battle count: Determines the total amount of rounds that will be played (minimum of three);
• Course selection: Players can determine how battle courses will be selected:
  • Chose: A course can be chosen after the one playable is finished;
  • Random: Courses are played in a random order;
  • In order: Courses are played in order; the first course is chosen by the player, and the next ones proceed according to the order in the selection screen;
  • Winner: The winner (first place) of the last race chooses the next course;
  • Loser: The loser (last place) of the last race chooses the next course;
• Racers: Determines the number of racers that will battle;
• Grand randomization: Choose randomly each rule above;

5) Time Trials

Time Trials is a returning single-player mode that allows the player to race against the clock, in order to finish all laps/sections of a course in the shortest time possible, having mushrooms available usually in the same number of laps/sections that it must go through (with the exception of GCN Baby Park), which allows the player to take shortcuts and save time, and without CPUs, Item Boxes, or items lying around the course.

The game saves the player's records and creates a ghost of the run performed as a copy of the player's performance, which the player can race against later. Through Online mode, the player can share its Ghosts with other players around the world, compare their scores and even race against other Ghosts.

For the first time in the Mario Kart series, battle courses are also available in Time Trials. Each battle course has undergone significant changes from its original appearance so that the player can run it as if it were a racecourse, with the aid of Arrow Fields, physical barriers, ramps, and battle course elements. The course selection screen is also different, on a single screen with all the racecourses and battle courses available on the game.

Time trials give the player the option to race at the 150cc engine class, already available, and at the 200cc engine class (separately recorded from the 150cc Time Trials), which must be unlocked on each course. To unlock a course's 200cc engine class on Time Trials, the player must beat the 150cc Normal Staff Ghost by getting a higher time than him. By unlocking the course's 200cc engine class, the player also unlocks the same course's 200cc Expert Staff Ghost to compete. 200cc Expert Staff Ghosts are harder than 150cc Normal Staff Ghosts, as they are faster and use more shortcuts.

When the player beats the 150cc Normal Staff Ghost and unlocks a track's 200cc engine class in Time Trials, course’s outline on the selection screen turns silver, and when the player passes and beats the 200cc Expert Staff Ghost, the outline turns golden. Unlocking a course's 200cc engine class in Time Trials is one of the criteria for unlocking course stamps on the Stamp Album and beating all the 200cc Expert Staff Ghosts is one of the criteria for unlocking Gold Pass rewards.

Staff Ghosts

Coming Soon...

6) Online

Online is a returning single-player and multiplayer mode where one, two or three local players can play over the Internet against other remote players. Unlike previous games, the main menu has different divisions for the player to access, according to the following division:

Online Versus and Battle

Players can compete and fight with up to fifteen other players from around the world (Online Worldwide), in their continent (Online Continental) or in their region (Online Regional) and can join and compete or fight with local friends (Local Friends). Players can join worldwide rooms that were created and customized by random players and can also create their own rooms with custom rules (the same as Versus and Battle modes, however without the Engine Speed and Course Variant topics) to compete, for friends or around the world. When playing Online Worldwide, Continental, or Regional, players once again earn VR points based upon their ranking at the end of a race or battle.

Online Lobby

The online lobby is like the one presented in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, in which the Mii characters that represent the players wear race suits (these can be configured by the players themselves) while waiting for other players and selecting courses. Mii racers will wear a crown identical to the one worn by the first-place finisher in Battle Mode as they win a race or battle, and as they win more races or battles, the Mii earns multiple crowns, which are placed one on top of the other.

Lobbies can be changed visually depending on the owner of the room, with the following backgrounds: a globe (as in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe), a garage (as in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's wireless and LAN modes), or any of the courses of the game.

There is also the option to change character and vehicle combinations in an online lobby without having to exit during course selection of an online lobby. Versus and battle races present the settings in the lobby as the course is selected via icons:

• Versus mode: icons in the lower center corner of the selected course icon:
  • Classic Versus: “VS” icon;
  • Team Mania: “TM” icon;
  • Relay Race: “RR” icon;

  • 150cc: Three mushrooms icon;
  • 200cc: Golden Dash Mushroom icon;
• Versus course variant: icons in the lower left corner of the selected course icon:
  • Normal: No icon;
  • Mirror: Mirror icon;
  • Reverse: Reversed Arrow icon;
  • Weather: Fog Cloud icon;
  • Trick: Super Hammer icon;
  • Hazard: Super Pickax icon;
  • Crazy: Classic Crown icon;

  • Coin Runners: Coin icon;
  • Shine Thief: Shine Sprite icon;
  • Renegade Roundup: Potted Piranha Plant icon;
  • Bob-omb Blast: Bob-omb icon;
  • Star-Balloon Smash: Star Balloon icon;

  • Fishin’ Boo Haunt: Fishin’ Boo icon;
  • Thwomp Awakening: Thwomp icon;
  • Turnip Turmoil: Turnip icon;
  • Chomp Owners: Chomp icon;
  • Moon Taxi: Power Moon icon;
  • Rotten Infection: Rotten Mushroom icon;

Online Time Trials

Players can use the Time Trials data to share its Ghosts with other players around the world, compare their scores and even race against other Ghosts.

One new feature on Online mode is Time Trial League, where 8 players can compete against each other at the same time on a Time Trial race, with other racers only appearing on the screen as Ghosts, with the winner being the fastest racer. Racers can then use their Ghosts created on Time Trial League at the Time Trials menu or share with other players around the world.

Online Tournaments

Players have the option to create their own tournaments and enter other players’ tournaments. When creating a tournament, players can choose an icon and name for the tournament, as well as set the rules (the same as Versus and Battle modes). Players can also set the times the tournament is available (fortnightly, weekly, daily, or between a fixed period and at what day and time the tournament begins and ends), the number of races before scores are totaled and whether groups shuffle after a certain number of matches or not.

Availability can be set including whether a code is required, or if it is open to anyone worldwide, continental, or regional and whether only players of certain ranks can play. When looking for a tournament, players can enter a code, search by type, or look at active tournaments.

7) Mario Kart Channel

The Mario Kart Channel is a feature of the encompasses several subcategories, such as the ones described below:

Mario Kart TV

It is a social networking integration, much like the Miiverse integration, allowing players to view and share photos and videos of races, battles, or missions, which others around the world can watch and leave comments on. Furthermore, the player can edit his own photos and play videos, also like Snapshot mode from Super Mario Odyssey or Snap a Photo bonus challenge from MKT.

Some features used in video editing are slow motion, rewinding and fast-forwarding, being able to change the video focus to include specific players and actions, setting the duration of the video, and adding visual effects. In addition, the player can change the background music, as well as remove original effects sounds and add external effects sounds.

Now, the player has options to add other items to their photos or videos, such as other photos, gifs, and stamps from the Stamp Album, being able to change their size and their colors. You can also put text messages, draw, and paint on photos. Lastly, the player can use the white screen photo features, to draw and post. The player can access their own photos and videos in the Gallery Album.

Tutorial

When the player starts the game for the first time, it is faced with this subcategory, which teaches about the basic gameplay of the game. In this mode, the player can run in 50cc and relearn basic controls, as well as important tips to continue throughout the game.

Stamp Album

Throughout the game, the player can obtain stamps, remarkably like Mario Kart 8, however, these appear as colored images, like SM3DW+BF stamps or Mario Kart Tour badges. A good part of these stamps can be used in other modes, in Mario Kart TV. Most stamps are subdivided into groups, each of which must be unlocked in several ways:

• Racer stamps: A stamp of the racer racing on a standard kart: to obtain them, the player needs to unlock the racer on Adventure Mode (starting racers have their stamp already unlocked);
• Racer's emblem stamp: A stamp of the racer’s emblem: to obtain them, the player needs to win at least one Grand Prix with the racer;
• Item stamp: A stamp of an item that can be used in the game: to obtain it, the player needs to activate the item's Frenzy mode on Frenzy Chaos Versus at least once (items that do not have a Frenzy mode have their stamp already unlocked);
• Race/Battle Course stamp: A stamp of an element related to the course of a game (usually also present on the track selection icon), which can be an enemy, obstacle and/or track-related background element (there is at least one stamp for each race/battle course in the game, with more being possible to appear per circuit): to obtain it, the player needs to beat the 150cc Normal Staff Ghost in Time Trial at the specific course, also unlocking the track's 200cc engine class in Time Trials and the 200cc Expert Staff Ghost to compete;
• Boss stamp: A stamp of the boss fought: to obtain it, the player needs to defeat the boss with a 3-GS ranking;
• Sponsor stamp: A stamp of a sponsor that appear in the game; these stamps can be obtained by purchasing a stamp from the Coin Shop;
• Other stamps: Stamps that do not fit into the above categories: usually already unlocked;

Coin Shop

The Coin Shop has similar organization to the Mario Kart Tour shop; however, it appears as a shop, run by a Mii wearing a “? Block” Mii Racing Suit. There, the player can use his coins, collected in the other modes, to buy new accessories, such as alternate costumes and unlockable vehicle parts. Also, it is possible to buy sponsor stamps, item tickets and pipes.

The Pipes function similarly to their appearance in Mario Kart Tour, being able to shoot an Item Ticket, a Sponsor Stamp, an unlockable vehicle part or even an alternate costume, all of which are randomly chosen within their rarity. It is possible for a player to obtain an accessory that has already been obtained; when that happens, the player receives half the value in Coins that the accessory costs in the Coin Shop.

Additionally, it is possible to find a feature through which players can purchase and pre-order the downloadable content pack known as the Crossover DLC Pack. Here are the product prices:

• Alternate Costume: 10000 coins;
• Unlockable Kart body: 7500 coins;
• Unlockable ATV body: 5000 coins;
• Unlockable Bike Body: 5000 coins;
• Unlockable Glider: 2500 coins;
• Unlockable Horn: 1000 coins;
• Unlockable Tire: 1000 coins;
• Pipe: 1000 coins;
• Sponsor Stamp: 500 coins;
• Item ticket: 100 coins;

Trophy Room

A new feature in the Mario Kart series is the Trophy Room, a giant round room that displays all the trophies earned by the player in Grand Prix mode. Trophies are rewards for completing cups in Grand Prix. When the player is among the top three of the Grand Prix in the final score, an award ceremony is held, with a trophy.

In this room, most trophies are arranged on fixed shelves on the wall, being divided according to the classes in which the player competes (100cc, 150cc, Mirror, Reverse, Weather, Trick, Hazard, Crazy and 200cc) and, from each class, the trophies are distributed on the shelves, with each shelf containing the trophies of a championship, totaling 13 shelves per class (11 shelves for each of the Retro Championships, 1 shelf for Nitro Championship Cups and an additional shelf for the Crossover Championship Cups, for players who purchased the Crossover DLC Pack). The Super Championship Trophies are displayed in the center of the room, with 150cc Trophies more to the left and 200cc Trophies more to the light, further below the All-Cup Tour Trophy duo, located on the center pedestal of the room.

Each trophy won by the player is unique, with its particularities on its composition (bronze, silver, or gold), depending on the classification at the end of the cup and particularities in its appearance. The particularities of each trophy can be analyzed:

• Composition: depends on the classification at the end of the cup, with Bronze for third place, Silver for second place and Gold for first place;
• Shape: depends on the cup contested, with each trophy's shape based on the icon that represents the determined cup (for example, the shape of Mushroom Cup's trophy is based on a mushroom);
• Size: depends on the Engine Speed class contested, with each trophy’s size changing between Engine Speed classes (100cc class trophies are smaller, 150cc class trophies have normal sizes and 200cc mode trophies are bigger), while all the Course Variant classes trophies have the same size as 150cc mode trophies;
• Base: Many particularities can be seen in the bases of the trophy, depending on:
  • Championship related to the contested cup: at the base of the trophy, to the left, it is possible to see an icon related to the championship in which the cup is related (for example, the Mushroom Cup's trophy has at the trophy’s base, more to the left, a miniature of a SNES);
    • OBS: Super Championship Cups have at their base, more to the left, the symbol of the championship they are related to (for example, the Super SNES Cup's trophy has at the trophy’s base, more to the left, a miniature of a SNES);
  • Engine Speed/Course Variant class contested: at the base of the trophy, to the right, it is possible to see an icon related to the class contested by the player:
    • 100cc class trophies: Two mushrooms icon;
    • 150cc class trophies: Three mushrooms icon;
    • 200cc class trophies: Golden Dash Mushroom icon;
    • Mirror class trophies: Mirror icon;
    • Reverse class trophies: Reversed Arrow icon;
    • Weather class trophies: Fog Cloud icon;
    • Trick class trophies: Super Hammer icon;
    • Hazard class trophies: Super Pickax icon;
    • Crazy class trophies: Classic Crown icon;
  • Cup ranking earned: Gold Trophies also have at their base (under the other icons), the Grand Star ranking earned on that cup; Silver and Bronze Trophies have a blank space:
    • 0-GS: the symbol will have all the Grand Stars with only the outline showing, that must be filled;
    • 1-GS: the symbol will have the central Grand Star filled in, while the side ones with only the outline showing, that must be filled;
    • 2-GS: the symbol will have the side Grand Stars filled in, while the central one with only the outline showing, that must be filled;
    • 3-GS: the symbol will have all the Grand Stars filled in;

Melody Jukebox

A new feature in the Mario Kart series, already seen in games from other Mario series, is the Melody Jukebox, the game's song selection feature. The player is directed to a music gallery, where he can select and listen to the game's soundtracks.

In this gallery, the player's Mii sits in their Standard Kart while music plays from the speakers, two Music Bashes jump around, and an album cover is shown, representing the current song that is displayed. For each sound played for the first time in the game, a record with the same sound or music is added to the Melody Jukebox.

Racers

Racers are broken up into five weight classes: Feather, Light, Medium, Cruiser and Heavy, with differences on their stats to further categorize them. The jump height and the force to knock away vehicles change with the weight classes: Feather and Light racers have increased jump heigh and decreased force to knock away vehicles, while Cruiser and Heavy racers have decreased jump heigh and increased force to knock away vehicles;

There are currently 155 playable racers (146 if including Mii), without considering Alternate costumes as racers themselves, in Mario Kart: Ultimate Challenge, the most number of playable characters in a Mario game. All playable racers from all previous mainline instalments return, alongside new exclusive racers, however, only the first six players (that appeared on all main Mario Kart series games), and the Mii, are available from the starts. To unlock the other races, the player must complete some standard criteria, mostly at Adventure Mode. Since races hold 16 positions, multiple Robo-Mario racers will appear as CPUs until the player starts to unlock other racers.

Much like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now the racers are organized with numbers, that signifies the order in which they were announced to be playable in the Mario Kart series. After the last returning racer, the newcomers appear on the list, keeping the counting; their numbering is based on the order in which they were announced for the game.

Echo Racers

Echo Racers are special racers that have its archetype analogous to a racer that already appears on the roaster (considered as “original racer”), like Echo Fighters from SSBU. They are even marked with an epsilon (ε) next to their fighter numbers, which they share with the character they are based on. Most of Echo racers are characters that can coexist with its original racer at the same time, being:

• Unique characters, completely different from the originals, but with great similarities to them in terms of appearance (like Rex and Yoshi);
  • OBS: Metal Mario, Dr. Mario, Paper Mario, Metal Luigi, Dr. Luigi, Paper Luigi, Pink Gold Peach and Yellow Bronze Daisy were considered separated characters from Mario, Luigi, Peach and Daisy, as well as any baby racer present in the game;
• Specials transformations of another character, that resemble the original racer of the echo racer (such as Peachette, a transformation of Toadette, that resemble Peach, or Shadow Mario, a transformation of Bowser Jr., that resemble Mario);
  • In this case, the tertiary character does not participate in the same race with his transformated form (Peachette and Toadette do not appear at the same race);
  • OBS: Dry Bowser is a transformation of its original racer (Bowser), a characteristic of most of Alternate Costumes, but is a exception to the above cases, being actually a Echo Racer; that happens due to the fact that Dry Bowser and Bowser have already appeared to coexist as separate entities in some games, however, in this case, Bowser and Dry Bowser do not appear at the same race;

Echo Racers behave like original racers, with unique animations, emblems and voices. Some of them differ from original racers at weight class and special item. Also, they have their own Stamp on the Stamp collection and have one Mii Racing Suit based on them. They also appear as CPU rivals on races when unlocked. Echo Racers are unlockable (even if their original counterpart is one starting racer), and the player must complete some standard criteria (like original unlockable racers), mostly at Adventure Mode.

At the racer selection screen, the Echo Racer icon appears under the original racer’s icon, smaller. When a player wants to select an Echo Racer, it must select first the original racer (ex. Luigi), then, a smaller box with the icons of the original character and the Echo Racer(s) appear, allowing the player to choose between them (ex. Luigi, Metal Luigi, Fury Shadow or Gooigi).

Alternate Costumes

Alternate Costumes also are special racers that have its archetype analogous to an original racer, however, they do not have one specific separation ot the original character, being:

• The original racers in specific costumes or transformations;
• Unique racers (or another subspecie of the original racer), however with lesser relevance in the context of the series;

Alternate Costumes behave exactly like original racers, having mostly the same voices, weight class and special item. Even some Echo Racers can have alternate costumes. Some of them have, although, unique animations, voices and emblems. Alternate Costumes do not appear as CPUs rivals on racers, do not have Special Stamps and do not have one Mii Racing Suit based on. They are unlocked when purchased on Coin Shop (being only available there when the original racer is unlocked). When the player wants to select one Alternate Costume, though, it must pass the selection between the original and the Echo Racer to, then, select which Alternate Costume it wants (ex. Luigi, Classic Luigi…).

Race Tecniques

Race techniques returns to the game, with racers doing unique animations when executing them;

• Rocket Start: powerful burst of speed that occurs at the beginning of every race; executed by holding the acceleration button at the correct time in the starting countdown (after the 2); doing it too early will will backfire the player's vehicle and stall for a few seconds at the beginning of the course (Fail Start); doing it too late won't work, and the player will begin without the boost;
• Mini-Turbo: By doing a drift and holding it for long enough, the player's vehicle will build up sparks. Once releasing the button, the player will gain a speed boost. The longer your drift, the more powerful the Mini-Turbo will be, changing colors from blue (Mini-Turbo), to orange (Super Mini-Turbo), and to purple (Ultra Mini-Turbo); The Ultra Mini-Turbo achieved a significant improvement compared to previous games, however, if a player holds an Ultra Mini-Turbo for too long, it will backfire and stall for a few seconds (known as a Fail Turbo, much similar to Fail Start);
• Jump Boost: powerful boost after jumping off of a ramp; the racer will perform a trick and gain a brief speed boost once it lands;
• Glide Boost: similar to the jump boost, it's a powerful boost after jumping off of a glider ramp; the racer will perform a trick and gain a brief speed boost when the glider is activated;
• Spin Boost: a powerful boost when the player touches other player's karts or Spin Boost Pillars on anti-gravity surfaces;
• Slipstream: Race behind any other driver for long enough to gain a slipstream, increasing your speed for a short time;
• U-Turn: In Battle Mode, holding both A and B while steering will allow you to do a U-turn;
• Item Charge: With some Items, the player can charge the power of them before using, giving them a secondary use, such as shooting the entire item in one powerful shot;
• Slide Attack: Exclusive on Double Dash Versus mode, the player can spin out opposing racers and steal their items;

Items

During a race, racers can drive through Item Boxes to be granted an item through a roulette. As previously stated, these items are the focus of a race, as using them may hinder other racers and/or aid the player. These items vary in usefulness depending on the distance from the current frontrunner; with racers closer to the frontrunner receiving "less-powerful" items (like Bananas or Green Shells), while racers furthest from the frontrunner receiving the "most powerful" items in the game (like Bullet Bill Mask or Lightning Bolt). Depending on the item a runner has been hit with, different effects can occur, however, most of them results of stopping the racer momentum. Items that create explosions will launch the affected racer into the air.

A returning mechanic is the appearence of special items, that is a certain item that is obtainable only to a specific group of racers, that most other racers cannot get. If the player achieves a or higher in all Engine Classes Cups in Grand Prix, it is rewarded for having all special items available as normal items for every racer. Also, racers can carry up to two items at once, however, the player can not switch between them.

Exclusive item mechanics appear at Frenzy Chaos and Double Dash VS modes. At the Frenzy Chaos, the player receives 3 items per item box instead of two, and if it gets the three of the same item, it activates the Frenzy mode, granting the racer invincibility and an unlimited supply of that item for a period of time. At the Double Dash, the player can switch the two items it receives by changing the racers on the kart, allowing players to hold onto an item for later use.

A new mechanic introduced in the game is the ability to charge up some items. In this case the player can charge the power of an item before using it (however, items that have a protection function may leave the player unprotected). This usually uses up all or most of an item's ammo, but makes up for this by giving it a secondary use, such as shooting the entire item in one powerful shot.

Items found on the track

Item	Description	Item	Description
Item Box	Gives the player 1 random item, based on it's position;	Double Item Box	Gives the player 2 random items;

Normal Items

Returning Items

Item	Description	Frenzy Action
Fake Item Box	This item imitates an Item Box, in which it is colored red and the “?” mark is flipped upside down. Now, when a player runs into one, rather than spinning out, it will appear as if they had an item, before a Bowser symbol appears and creates an electric explosion. It cannot block item attacks.	Six Fake Item Boxes will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Fake Item Boxes while on the mode but can throw only one Fake Item Box at time.
Mushroom	Provides the player's kart with a small speed boost.	Six Mushrooms will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Mushrooms while on the mode but can use only one Mushroom at time (this frenzy acts identically to the normal Golden Mushroom item).
Triple Mushroom	Orbits the player's kart, providing them with three separate speed boosts. If the player charges up this item, it becomes able to use them all at once for a longer-lasting speed boost.	Six Mushrooms will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Mushrooms while on the mode, and can use three Mushrooms at time, getting the longer-lasting speed boost while on the mode (this frenzy acts identically to the normal Golden Mushroom item, however with a longer-lasting speed boost).
Golden Dash Mushroom	Provides the player's kart with continuous Mushroom-like speed boosts for a short time. If the player charges up this item, it becomes able to get longer-lasting speed boosts, however, it has a short break between one and the other longer-lasting speed boost.	Six Golden Mushrooms will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Golden Mushrooms while on the mode, and they will continuously be boosting the kart automatically while on the mode, even faster than a Bullet Bill Mask (as fast as the Bullet Bill Mask on Frenzy mode).
Mega Mushroom	It makes the driver grow bigger, allowing it to squash other racers by running over them (making them lose their items and flattened them out for a moment). It let the user destroy items and course obstacles, however, does not make the player immune to Lightning Bolt and Spiny Shell (both only reducing the player to normal size, without damaging the player), Bullet Bill Mask, Star, and most of Special Items. It also makes the driver faster and amplifies any speed boost performed. In addition, the player can go off-road and drive on rough terrain without suffering any slowdown effect. The effect holds 9 seconds but will be finished earlier after getting hit by strong items.	Six Mega Mushrooms will rotate around the vehicle. The player, having unlimited supply of Mega Mushrooms while on the mode, will grow even more than normal.
Green Shell	Protects the player from incoming items. When thrown, travels in a straight line and knocks over a kart it hits.	Six Green Shells will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Green Shells while on the mode but can throw only one Green Shell at time.
Triple Green Shell	Three Green Shells that orbit the player's kart, protecting them from incoming attacks. They can be thrown either forward or backward, one at time. If the player charges up this item, it becomes able to throw them all at once in a straight line.	Six Green Shells will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Green Shells while on the mode, and can throw three Green Shells at time, that will travel all in a straight line.
Red Shell	Homes in on the closest kart in front of the player and knocks it over. If the player laid the Red Shell backwards, it acts as a land mine, chasing after the first kart that passes by, even the user, like how it works on MKSC.	Six Red Shells will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Red Shells while on the mode but can throw only one Red Shell at time.
Triple Red Shell	Three Red Shells that orbit the player's kart, protecting them from incoming attacks. They can be thrown either forward or backward, one at time. If the player charges up this item, it becomes able to throw them all at once in a straight line; however, each Red Shell will home to one racer in front of the player, turning possible to hit 3 racers with one attack.	Six Red Shells will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Red Shells while on the mode, and can throw three Red Shells at time, that will travel all in a straight line.
Blue Spiny Shell	This winged spiny shell targets the racer in first place, flying above the other racers. It throws the racer in first place upwards with a blue explosion, that can hit any racer near the first place one.	Six Blue Spiny Shells will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Blue Spiny Shells while on the mode but can throw only one Blue Spiny Shell at time.
Banana	Protects the player from incoming items. When thrown, stays on the track and spins out other racers that hit it. It can be thrown either forwards or backwards.	Six Bananas will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Bananas while on the mode but can throw only one Banana at time.
Triple Banana	Three bananas that orbit the player's kart, protecting them from incoming attacks. They can be thrown either forward or backward, one at time. If the player charges up this item, it becomes able to throw them all at once and they will land all lined up in a row.	Six Bananas will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Bananas while on the mode, and can throw three Bananas at time, that will land all lined up in a row.
Bob-omb	A Bob-omb that can be throwed either forwards or backwards and explodes after a short time when thrown or dropped, knocking over any kart in its blast radius. Notably, if this bomb collides with an item or player while behind the user, they will explode, but will not harm the racer using them. If the player charges up this item, the bomb explodes just after touching the ground.	Six Bob-ombs will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Bob-ombs while on the mode but can throw only one Bob-omb at time.
Double Bob-omb	Two Bob-ombs that revolve around the player's kart. They can be thrown either forward or backward, one at time. If the player charges up this item, it becomes able to throw them all at once in a straight line. Notably, if these bombs collide with an item or player while orbiting the user, they will explode, but will not harm the racer using them. If the player charges up this item, both bombs explode just after touching the ground.	Six Bob-ombs will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Bob-ombs while on the mode and can throw two Bob-ombs at time, that will land all lined up in a row.
Super Horn	Although being one retro item, it has a improved gameplay: Allows the player to use the Super Horn up to three times, that emits a radial shockwave, destroying all obstacles and items (including Blue Spiny Shells), and hitting surrounding racers. If the player charges up this item, the player becomes able to play the Horn at one single attack, but the horn last longer and its radius is wider.	Six Super Horns will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Super Horns while on the mode, being able to release a wider electrical wave at time.
Lightning Bolt	Causes all opponents to drop their items, shrink, and drive slowly for a short time.	Six Lightning Bolts will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Lightning Bolts while on the mode but only one can be used at time.
POW Block	A POW block appears on screen and causes any racer on the ground ahead of the user to spin out and drop their items. Players who deploy the wheelie button get a milder version of the effect. They will not get affected if they are in the air.	Not available.
Star	Provides the player invincibility from all terrain and items, and also giving a speed boost.	Not available.
Cape Feather	Gives the player's kart a cape that can be used to roughly perform a Spin Jump twice as high as a regular driver can for a period.	Not available. Item only available on Battle.

New Items

Item	Description	Frenzy Action
Black Shell	Black Shell can be thrown forward or backward. It will travel in a straight line and explode on impact, knocking over any drivers in the blast radius. The Black Shell previously appeared in the Mario Kart Arcade series, though as this is its first appearance in a main Mario Kart title, it is treated as a new item.	Six Black Shells will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Black Shells while on the mode but can throw only one Black Shell at time.
Triple Black Shell	Three Black Shells that orbit the player's kart. They can be thrown either forward or backward, one at time. Notably, if they collide with an item or player while orbiting the user, they will not explode. If the player charges up this item, it becomes able to throw them all at once in a straight line.	Six Black Shells will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Black Shells while on the mode, and can throw three Black Shells at time, that will travel all in a straight line.
Double Cherry	Creates a clone of the user; the duplicate follows the drivers speeds and commands, however their left and right directions are reversed. Clones remains for a duration or until struck by an obstacle or projectile. All targeting items will affect the clone instead of the user. The player can use other items, and the clone will mimic the item either, turning possible to the player to use the same item twice.	Six clones will rotate around the vehicle. Due to the Frenzy invincibility, all the clones will also be invincible, harming any racer who touches them.
Thwomp	A sleeping Thwomp hovers over the racer and smashes it after ten seconds, when it wakes up. Before this happens, the user has much higher speed and acceleration while not losing speed when driving off-road and may pass the Thwomp to an opponent by bumping into them. Each pass makes the total running time of the Thwomp about 1 second longer, working similar to Thunder Cloud at MKWii. If the player (or other racers) uses the kart’s horn, it can wake the Thwomp easier, losing 1 second of the total running time.	Six Thwomps will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Thwomps while on the mode. Due to the invincibility, these Thwomps cannot smash the racer (they will try, moving horizontally). However, they can be passed to other racers while on the mode. When passed, they will crush the player instantly, since they will be already awaked.
Blooper Nanny	Due to Blooper’s appearance as a racer, Blooper Nanny replaces it as an item. Blooper Nanny and its babies are sent to all racers ahead to spray ink on and reduce their visibility. Racers on 4th place and back receives ink from a baby, that spits out a small amount of ink; the 3rd place racer receives ink from the Blooper Nanny, that spits out a greater amount of ink; finally, the 1st and 2nd place racers receives ink from the Nanny and all of its babies at the same time, having their visibility greatly reduced, alongside their handling, making it hard to them to turn at corners.	Six Blooper Nannies will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Blooper Nannies while on the mode but can send only one Blooper Nanny at time. All racers ahead will receive the Blooper Nanny alongside its babies (regardless of their placement). If a player receives more than one Blooper Nanny at time, more ink will be accumulated, and more reduced will be its visibility.
Bullet Bill Mask	Due to Bullet Bill's appearance as a racer, Bullet Bill Mask replaces it as an new item. It is a mask the racer can wear to resemble a Bullet Bill and gain its abilities, rocketing through the track with auto-pilot, and providing invincibility from all terrain and items. The only difference is that, instead of the item turning the racer into a Bullet Bill, it wears the mask, staying with the vehicle used underneath.	Two Bullet Bills will follow the Rainbow Bullet Bill Mask that the player has transformed into. These Bills can be shot at other players, much like homing Bombs. The Rainbow Bullet Bill will rocket through the track even faster than the normal one.
Gold Block	Unlike the replaced Coin Box, the player wears the Gold Block over its head, thus producing coins from it if he keeps moving, instead of spitting coins in front of the player. If the player runs fast enough, without being hit, the number of coins produced from the block increases. If the player is damaged by any item, it loses all the coins it collected from the item. The player can get from 10 to 50 coins, depending on its performance during use. Each coin gives the player a small boost when get. Also, when a Gold Block is worn, the face side of it resembles the user's face.	Six Coins will rotate around the vehicle. While the player receives the rotating coins (the ones from a Coin item Frenzy), it receives even more coins from the Rainbow Gold Block, that, sometimes, launch some coins at the course. The player gets 75 coins on total.

Special Items

Returning Items

Item	Description	Frenzy Action	Racer
Fire Flower	Allows the player to throw fireballs, forward or backward, that cause other karts to burn and spin out on impact. These fireballs are capable of ricocheting off walls. The racer can throw a total of 10 fireballs. If the player charges up this item, becomes able to throw 5 of them at once.	Six Fireballs will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Fireballs while on the mode but can throw only one Fireball at time.	Mario Metal Mario Fire Bro.
Ice Flower	Allows the player to throw fireballs, forward or backward, that cause other karts to freeze and slide forward for a small while. These iceballs are capable of ricocheting off walls. The racer can throw a total of 10 iceballs. If the player charges up this item, becomes able to throw 5 of them at once.	Six Iceballs will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Iceballs while on the mode but can throw only one Iceball at time.	Ice Bro. Penguin Lord Fredrik
Heart	A double of hearts will surround the kart. These hearts will protect the kart from any item that tries to it the player (absorbing it). The player can then use the new item as it pleases. The player can accumulate Hearts if it gets another one on the item slot.	Six Hearts will rotate around the vehicle. The player has unlimited supply of Hearts while on the mode and can absorb items of any racers that touches and damages. After the time is finished, the racer gets the strongest item absorbed during the mode.	Peach Baby Peach Honey Queen
Yoshi Birdo Egg (Yoshi/Birdo) Egg	Works similarly to a Red Shell, chasing after a kart and knocking it out when collision occurs. After colliding, these eggs randomly let out three items. However, if an Egg takes too long to find a kart, the Egg will break apart but still let out three items. The items an Egg can let out are: Banana, Mushroom, Green Shell (that travels in a straight line), Red Shell (acts as a land mine, chasing after the first kart that passes by), Bob-omb (that explodes after some seconds) and Star. The Egg has green spots for Yoshi, pink spots and a red ribbon for Birdo, and is spotless for the other racers. The spots and the ribbon colors changes according to the alternate costume of Yoshi and Birdo.	Six Eggs will rotate around the vehicle.

Bikes

Much like Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8, bikes can be subdivided into standard bikes (bikes that are able to drift) and sport bikes (bikes that commit to the turn instead of actually "drifting"). However, instead of having exclusive bikes for a subtype, the style of operation of the bike will be defined after choosing the bike, at the vehicle costumization, making any bike possible to be a standard bike or a sport bike.

Courses

Mario Kart: Ultimate Challenge features more detail on the courses, particularly the retro tracks, which appear with a vast improvement in design compared to their original appearances (and retro appearances that some already made on other games).

In this game, all tracks and battle arenas from previous games are back, along with new ones. Cups appear in a new organization, under Championships. Also, instead of each retro cup having the same names (like Mushroom, Flower, and Star Cups), each cup has specific symbols in order to differentiate each cup.

Some championships with retro tracks have their courses in the same order as they are in their respective games, but some have changes in the distribution of courses. All championships that have at least one Bowser's Castle and/or Rainbow Road will have them as their penultimate and last course respectively. Tracks that appear chronologically after Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road (such as tracks that were DLC in their original games) will also be redistributed earlier.

SNES Championship

The SNES Championship incorporates cups with all the courses of the Super Mario Kart game. Instead of having 5 courses, each cup have only 4 courses, much like the extra cups from Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Also, the order of the courses changes from its origin game, as SNES Bowser's Caslte 3 appeas only before SNES Rainbow Road.

Mushroom Cup
SNES Mario Circuit 1	SNES Donut Plains 1	SNES Ghost Valley 1	SNES Bowser's Castle 1
Fire Flower Cup
SNES Mario Circuit 2	SNES Choco Island 1	SNES Ghost Valley 2	SNES Donut Plains 2

N64 Championship

The N64 Championship incorporates cups with all the courses of the Mario Kart 64 game. The order of the courses changes from its origin game, as N64 Bowser's Caslte appears only before N64 Rainbow Road. Kalimari Desert combine both layouts of the original course and its reroute (Tour N64 Kalimari Desert 2) into one race, much like its appearence on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, justifying the absence of the reroute as a separated course.

The GP Championship incorporates cups with all the Mario (series) based courses of the Mario Kart Arcade games, such as Mario Kart Arcade GP, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. Similar to what happened with city-based courses in MK8X BCP, the tracks that are located in the same locations were integrated into a single course, with variations in each lap. Their names were also changed, in order to integrate the old names into one. The order of the tracks also doesn't exactly follow the chronological order of appearance in the games, with some DX tracks appearing before others from GP and GP2.

Live Championship

The Live Championship incorporates cups with all the courses of the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit game. On MKLHC, these tracks are just creations of players (whose layout and background changes from player to player); however, on MKUC, they were remade as new courses, with unique features, layouts, and backgrounds (although it is possible to see real world scenarios on the background as holograms), based on the courses' icons from the original game. Consequently, these are new circuits inspired by the circuits of the game mentioned above, organized into cups, most of them with 4 tracks each. Live DLC courses appear before the championship's Bowser's Castle (that was relocated to the final championship) and Rainbow Road.
