Kiosk Demo

This is a sub-page of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

The kiosk demo of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is found on Nintendo Switch demo kiosk units, typically found in retail stores. A Chinese version of the Kiosk Demo also exists as well as a Wave 6 DLC one, containing DLC tracks as playable tracks (randomly selected).

General Differences#

Title Screen & Main Menu#

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.
Specifically: Add screenshots of the final main menu, as well as the character & vehicle selection screens.

The main menu in the demo contains only two available game modes, Grand Prix and Battle Mode.
The game logo is positioned in the top left of the screen, rather than bottom left in the final.
The demo title screen lacks the version number seen in the final.

Files#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: If possible, look into the demo files and determine what things from the final are and aren't present.

Most unavailable features are still present in the game's files, namely online & wireless play functionality and the absent vehicle parts and characters, though the excluded courses and their respective music are not.
