Nintendo has launched an update to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to be compatible with Nintendo LABO. The update is available now and makes cardboard riding more fun. Use the toy-Con motorbike handlebars and away you go!

Now that Nintendo has added Nintendo Labo support to one of their biggest games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. What will be next? Splatoon? The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Super Mario Odyssey? Or how about, Bayonetta? Yeah probably not that one but it’ll be interesting to see what Nintendo will do next with cardboard.

Here are the details for Mario Kart Deluxe 8 version 1.5:

• Now supports the use of the Toy-Con Motorbike from Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit.
  • You can now set whether or not to use the Toy-Con Motorbike from the Toy-Con settings in the top menu.
  • At the screen right before the game begins, please set the Joy-Con inside the Toy-Con Motorbike.
  • When using the Toy-Con Motorbike, the camera will look over the character’s shoulder, increasing immersion.
  • Press the downward directional button to play with normal view again.
• Addressed an issue where, after setting up a tournament, the “Search by code” feature would stop functioning.
• Addressed an issue that made it impossible for a player to proceed after colliding with a Star Thwomp.
• The latest update data is needed to play matches online.
• Once you have downloaded the latest update data, you will no longer be able to play “Local Wireless” and “LAN Play” matches with other players who have not downloaded this data.

Nintendo LABO and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
