Mario Kart's faster karts and Animal Crossing DLC released

Mario Kart 8 players may have to get into the habit of using the brake button, as the faster 200cc karts are now available through a free downloadable update.

Some players are reporting that the update is available to download right now. You must beat all cups on 150cc to play Grand Prix on 200cc, but you will be able to pick 200cc in VS, tournament settings, and online lobbies from the get-go. If you want to see the difference between 150cc and 200cc, check out the comparison video below.
