'''''Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8''''' is a downloadable content pack for ''[[mariowiki:Mario Kart 8|Mario Kart 8]]'' on the [[Wii U]] released on April 23, 2015, which contains content based on the {{SER}}. The content pack includes the introduction of [[Isabelle]] and the human [[player]] as playable racers. It also contains two cups, one of which is based on ''Animal Crossing'' (the Crossing Cup), and two new vehicles based on ''Animal Crossing'', the City Tripper and the Streetle. The Crossing Cup's signature track (named 'Animal Crossing') has players racing through an Animal Crossing village whose season changes each time the course is played. Familiar faces and buildings can be found on the sidelines, and [[Resetti]] even makes an appearance as an unforeseen obstacle, popping out of the ground similar to Monty Mole. The track features newly recorded music more suited to the fast-paced Mario Kart atmosphere.

'''''Mario Kart 8''''' is a racing game for the [[Wii U]] released in May 2014. The game received a downloadable content pack on April 23, 2015, titled ''Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8'', which adds [[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)|Villager]] and [[Isabelle]] as playable characters, various {{SER|short}}-themed kart parts, and an {{SER|short|nolink}}-themed [[Animal Crossing (course)|race course]].
 
  
On April 28, 2017, an expanded version of the game titled '''''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''''', which features all the ''Animal Crossing'' content from the original game, was released for the [[Nintendo Switch]].
+
The ''Animal Crossing'' course was one of three ''Mario Kart 8'' courses chosen for players to race on during the [[:wikipedia:Nintendo World Championships|2015 Nintendo World Championships]] on June 14, 2015.
  
==Content from the {{SER|nolink}}==
+
Some later Wii U premium bundles included both the game and the DLC together. The enhanced port of the game on [[Nintendo Switch]], ''[[mariowiki:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', includes the ''Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8'' DLC as standard in-game content. However, unlike before, vehicles that appeared in the original pack are now unlocked at random by collecting certain amounts of coins in races.
===Playable characters===
 
====Villager====
 
[[File:Villager MK8.png|thumb|left|150px|Artwork of a male Villager]]
 
[[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)|Villager]] appears with both a male and female variant. Both variants are in the medium weight class, with slight variations in stats between the two. Their emblem is the leaf icon from the {{SER|nolink}}.
 
  
In the original ''Mario Kart 8'', the male and female variants of Villager are combined into a single slot on the character selection screen. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', both variants initially had separate slots, before being merged again following the addition of more characters in Wave 6 of the ''[[mariowiki:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC.
