Stock up on your banana peels, Mario fans.

Nintendo today revealed details on the new multiplayer modes coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which releases for the Switch on April 28. Although a port, this will be one of the first major games Nintendo releases for its new console following the hybrid home/portable system’s launch on March 3. These new features will give players who already own the Wii U version incentive to purchase it again on the Switch. Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U sold over 8.26 million copies.
