Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Cheats for Nintendo Switch

Rocket Boost

Press the accelerator button when "2" appears and hold it down for a rocket boost at the start of the race.

Get an unexpected boost!

Some tracks have wheel carts on their antigravity portions. bump into them, and you'll be encircled by a blue streak, then obtain a speed boost. You can also bump into players' karts and get the same boost, plus a spinout for the victim. So maybe it's okay to drive a little recklessly in antigravity.

Fire/Bunny Hopping

Fire Hopping (or Bunny Hopping) is a trick you can use throughout a race. Using this trick can make you move faster than your opponents, but only in certain situations. To perform this trick, you must be:

• Moving across a dash panel
• Receiving a boost from drifting
• Drafting
• Using items that would boost your speed (Mushroom, Star, Piranha Plant .etc)
• Startup boost (Only on specific courses)
• Anything else that would increase your speed for a brief period of time

In order to correctly execute the boost, you must rapidly drift into one direction and then drift in the other direction continuously until your boost wears out. This works well on straightaways, but can also be done when turning. Also, this is very effective when moving at an upwards slope. Level slopes work too, but fire/bunny hopping while moving at a downward slope will only cause your kart to decelerate. There are exceptions to fire hopping at such a slope, but there are very few. Some examples are the boost panels on the slope on Toad Harbor the boost panel facing on the anti-gravity slope on GBA Mario Circuit. Otherwise, doing this when moving downwards will hinder your performance.

Oh, and regarding the startup boost fire hopping technique, mentioned above, this only works on specific courses, as said above. Fire hopping at the start of a course is super effective on courses that start you facing upwards, for example, DS Tick Tock Clock. However, doing this on course that start you facing downwards, like Electrodrome, will only make your kart go slower than your opponents. Doing this on courses that start you off on a neutral slope will either make you accelerate, or have no effect on your speed. It depends on the course.

I hoped this helped you win some races on Mario Kart 8. This trick is really effective when used correctly.

Toad Harbor: Use trams as a speed boost

The trams in Toad Harbor usually knock you out when you drive into them by accident, however if you are flying after jumping from a ramp or booster you can actually use the roofs of the trams to your advantage. When in the air, try to land on a tram's roof, and you will bounce off it undamaged. For an extra helpful boost, perform a flip.

How to use LAN play

To use LAN play, on the opening screen where it says Press "L" and "R" to play, hold down "L" and "R". While holding "L" and "R", press down on the Left Stick. At this point you may let go of those three buttons. LAN play will now be an option instead of Wireless play.

Fast Coin Farming

• Step 1: You need two Joy-Cons, two single ones are ok, you get two if you buy the Switch.
• Step 2: Select Multiplayer mode, then select 2 players.
• Step 3: Select VS Race
• Step 4: It doesnt matter which Character or Vehicle you choose, one that got Speed AND Accelerationwould be good (like Mario)
• Step 5: While setting up your Vehicles, press the + or - on each controller and make sure the settings are like this: Auto Steering: ON, Control: Joystick (motion control will NOT work), Auto Accelerate: ON
• Step 6: After setting up the Karts, the next screen takes you to race settings. Select 200cc Race at the very top, and then copy the setting below: Teams: No Teams, Items: No Items, COM: No COM, COM Vehicles: All Vehicles, Courses: Choose, Race Count: 48 Races (this number can change, however, 48 is ideal if you will be coin farming for an hour or two)
• Step 7: After this, it is time to pick the track. Go under the Egg Cup, select Mute City and start the race.
• Step 8: At this point, you can set both controllers down and let the game do the rest.

Note: Each race takes about 2 minutes & 30 seconds so you can complete a cup about every 10 minutes. I hope you enjoy this and go get yourself that Gold Glider.

Choose the season on the Animal Crossing track

When starting a race on the Animal Crossing track while playing offline in any mode other than time trials, hold one of the four shoulder buttons (L for Spring, R for Summer, ZL for Fall, or ZR for Winter) to choose the season the track appears as.

Various Gameplay Tips

• Tip 1: Press accelerate just as the start timer hits '2' for a turbo start.
• Tip 2: It's always better to release the accelerator than to shoot off the edge of the track.
• Tip 3: Get used to hitting 'R' whenever your character jumps for another little boost.
