| − | '''''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]].
| |

| + | '''''Animal Crossing'' X ''Mario Kart 8''''' is a downloadable content pack ([[DLC]]) for the [[Wii U]] game ''[http://www.mariokart8.nintendo.com Mario Kart 8]'', released on April 23, 2015, which contains content based on the {{SER}}, namely the characters [[Isabelle]] and the human [[player]] as playable characters. It also contains two cups, one of which is based on ''Animal Crossing'' (the Crossing Cup), and two new vehicles, 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. |
