Nintendo has announced a new event for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of Mario Day, allowing players to participate in a community challenge to earn Nintendo Platinum Points. This event will take place from March 7 to March 17 and requires players to complete a collective total of one million laps to earn rewards.

Only players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can participate, but Nintendo is offering a 14-day free trial for new users. Players must complete at least one lap to qualify for the rewards, which totals 310 Platinum Points if the challenge is achieved.

Despite its release in 2017, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains a strong favorite among players, achieving impressive sales milestones. To join in the festivities and contribute to the challenge, fans can use the membership trial and the specific tournament code provided by Nintendo.
