A free update to Mario Kart 8<\/em> deluxe, <\/em>available right now,<\/a> <\/em>promises to create all kinds of mayhem \u2014 the good kind \u2014 in offline VS Races and some online team modes. With the new Custom Items option, players can specify which items appear in the game, and even allocate them to specific teams.<\/p>\n

Custom Items lets players randomize which power-ups appear in boxes, or lets them turn them all off. Or players can do all-Bullet Bill power-ups, or a mix of classic Super Mario Kart<\/em> power ups.<\/p>\n

If you’re immediately thinking: Oh, God, what would an all-Blue Shells race look like? <\/em>Well, so is everyone else!<\/p>\n

It works in both directions, too. Get rid of those damnable power-ups that always stop you dead once you get into first place!<\/p>\n

This is THE BEST. I never want to play with the lightning bolt powerup again.<\/p>\n

It also means you can get rid of coins as an Item Box prize, because who else doesn’t loathe <\/em>picking up change when you’re desperate for a Red Shell or a Fire Flower?<\/p>\n

OMG YOU CAN TURN THE COIN ITEM OFF<\/p>\n
