Mario Kart 8 Deluxe promo video offers tips for using items

Are you having trouble beating your brother (or perhaps other friends and family members) in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Nintendo is here to help with a new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe promo video over on their Play Nintendo YouTube channel. This is another of their more “playful” videos skewed toward younger viewers who are looking for a leg up on the competition.

This video focuses on the use of power-up items in Mario Kart, as it details how they work and what the best methods are for using them. You can watch it now to get tips on how to effectively utilize items such as Golden Mushrooms, Bloopers, and of course, the dreaded Spiny Shell.
