Fans can rest assured that Mario Kart 8 will indeed feature some kind of DLC. Nintendo has announced that Japan will get a free Mercedes-Benz kart during the summer to cross promote both products. The free download is set to release in other regions as well, but details are not being shared at the moment.
Be sure to check out the commercial for the car itself as well!

Introducing… THE MERCEDES BENZ 2.0!
As you can see, there is now no roof, and it is considerably smaller. It can hit shiny boxes and make mushrooms and shells appear out of nowhere. It can even flash rainbow colors sometimes!
And best of all, for every coin you accidently run over with your car, you can make your car go slightly faster! Get 10 coins, and you may possibly have the fastest car on earth!
LESS THAN 6 HRS TILL MARIO KART 8! The excitement is killing me! Literally!
EHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE
…SCREW EVERYTHING IVE BEEN HOLDING IN MY HYPE FOR TOO LONG! MARIO KART 8 HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this kart now my mii can drive in style while racing
Oh my
While I think that a car with a little more colour would of been much more appropriate, I’m happy that Nintendo doesn’t think that MK8 DLC is completely out of the picture.
well now that dlc is finally confirmed, here are my ideas. There will be 4 packs. The first one to release will be the customization pack. this pack will bring a ton of extra vehicle parts to add to your collection. The second pack will be the character pack 1. This will add 6 new characters to the game (Birdo, Diddy, Bowsr Jr., King Boo, Dry Bones, and Kamek). The third pack will be the Battle Course pack. This pack will add 6 new and 6 returning battle courses to battle mode so it will feel original. The 4th pack… Read more »
I think it would be even more complete if instead of this Mercedes kart, they had the Mercedes-McLaren SLR kart.
oh my god! ur back!
Nice! The only improvement are the new dlc courses. If they do have dlc, then they would have to put in courses with characters. (What I am saying is with each pack, there should be a mix of things, except for the Customization Pack) I like both the ideas and the new characters for DLC. 🙂
A real-life car in Mario Kart just… Doesn’t look right under any circumstances. But you know, it’s free, so it can’t hurt.
look at my previous comments. i said that already
Awwww, that’s a darn shame. Well, it looks like I have to delete my comment now because you said something SIMILAR. Oh, the humanity.
HAHAHAHAHHA!
That mario….NEEDS to be dlc
You’ve unlocked Badass Mario!
I like it! But, like GameGuy5 said, it looks almost out of place. If they make a Lamborghini kart, sign me up!
where have you been? its been a while
…in the shadows…
lol
These are my DLC ideas, even though it got confirmed… Red Shell Pack: Comes with four new courses, and two new playable characters: Paratroopa and Petey Piranha. Ice Flower Pack: Comes with eight battle courses (four new, four returning), and two new playable characters: Nabbit and Birdo. Golden Mushroom Pack: Comes with four new courses, and two new playable characters: Bowser Jr. and Dry Bowser. Donkey Kong Pack: Comes with four new Donkey-Kong themed courses, and comes with Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Funky Kong. Bad Enemies Pack: Comes with four new Enemy-Related courses, and comes with Goomba, Hammer Bro,… Read more »
Those are awesome, here’s mine: -Cloud Pack: Includes 4 Nitro Courses: Daisy Resort, Kongo Canopy, Ty-Foo Temple, and Rainbow Road 2 and 3 new characters: Diddy Kong, Birdo, and Bowser Jr. -Bone Pack: Includes 4 Retro Courses: SNES Ghost Valley 3, Wii Dry Dry Ruins, GCN Wario Colosseum, and GBA Bowser’s Castle 4 and 3 new characters: Dry Bones, King Boo, and Dry Bowser -Coin Pack: Includes 8 Battle Courses (Too lazy to think of any.) and 1 new character: Nabbit -Mercedes Pack: Includes Mercedes Kart Part -Mario Kart Pass: You’ll buy all packs at once, plus you’ll unlock Mii… Read more »
Interesting! I forgot to put Wario Colosseum in there; I’ll replace it for Maka Wuhu. 😛
Thanks 😀
You are welcome. 🙂
I hope the Mercedes Kart comes to the US… :/
Not bad! (but could be better… NO GOOMBA)
lol… I don’t know what to do with characters. Since Goomba is in the crowd/stands, I’m not so sure… If he can hold a bat in Mario Baseball (despite that he had no hands), then he could drive a kart in Mario Kart. I put in Goomba because koopa/paratroopa was in Double Dash. so I thought that Goomba would be a nice edition. What are your thoughts about DLC? (Same format as mine and Luigiguy567’s) 😛
… I can’t be bothered… 😛
Bummer… 🙁
