Animal Crossing (course)

Preview of the Animal Crossing course

Animal Crossing is a track in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It has the racers drive through a village whose season changes each time the course is played (although holding , , or allows the player to select which season they want). 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 a Monty Mole. In winter, Mr. Resetti doesn’t appear on the track, snowboys appear instead. The track features newly recorded music more suited to the fast-paced Mario Kart atmosphere.

Cameos

The following villagers and special characters can make appearances in the sidelines of the Animal Crossing course. Each character, with the exception of Snowboy, can appear in every season; however, which characters appear and their locations differ between races.
