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 and Isabelle as playable characters, various Animal Crossing-themed kart parts, and an Animal Crossing-themed 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.

Playable characters[edit]
Villager[edit]
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 Animal Crossing series.
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 Booster Course Pass DLC.

The first cup of the Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 DLC pack is the Crossing Cup, which features the leaf emblem of the Animal Crossing series. The final course of the cup, Animal Crossing, is themed after a town from Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The course has as variation for each season that is randomly chosen each time it is played.

There are three kart parts based on the Animal Crossing series: The City Tripper bike, which features various icons representing Animal Crossing; the Leaf Tires, which features the triangle grass pattern from the Animal Crossing series on its treads and the leaf icon in the center; and the Paper Glider, which Animal Crossing icons and the series logo.
The City Tripper was later added to Animal Crossing: New Leaf as a furniture item in the Welcome amiibo update known as the Isabelle scooter.
