You’ll be able to spot participating Targets without even entering, as the giant concrete balls outside of each store will be dressed up as the faces of Mario and Luigi.

As you enter you’ll notice the doors adorned with starting line decorations from Mario Kart, and store carts adorned like the karts themselves. There’ll be three different types of carts inspired by the design of Mario, Luigi, and Peach’s karts respectively.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launches on April 28, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. If you want to see everything new added to the updated title, you can see that here. While you’re at it make sure to check out the latest trailer detailing the game’s battle and circuit modes.
