With every course and mode automatically unlocked when you start Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, that only leaves one unlockable character and kart parts left for you to focus your attention on.
Gold Mario is the only character that players can unlock in the kart racer, which has come as a disappointment in that it is a simple skin swap with Metal Mario – even having the same stats.
In order to unlock Gold Mario in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, you must earn a gold trophy in every Cup at 200cc in Grand Prix mode. Once achieved, he will be unlocked.
