Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's release is just around the corner and one feature we have been dying to try out is the newly revised Battle Mode. In this video, we showcase the return of Shine Thief from Mario Kart: Double Dash on the Dragon Palace and Lunar Colony maps while playing as Bowser Jr. The goal of this game mode is to keep the Shine Sprite in your possession until the timer runs out. Your offensive, defensive, and evasive skills are key for victory. Please take a look.
