In this work, racers can climb a perpendicular wall and drive along the ceiling in a vertically inverted state.
Racers can drive anywhere as well as land, ocean, and sky as in the past.

In addition, many new characters and types of items and machines are added.
This work features a wider variety of plays: Players can hold a tournament by specifying a favorite time and date and rules,

Moreover, "200cc" class is added.
It is a new dimension over "150cc," which has existed as the fastest class since the first "Super Mario Kart." Players can experience a novel Mario Kart.
For example, the new kart drives with great speed, and a braking technique is required at a sharp corner.

It is a great honor to be awarded such an honorable prize.
