From Nintendo they inform us that since August 27th, and coinciding with the update of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, we can download three free models of Mercedes Benz: the modern Mercedes-Benz GLA that is more dynamic than a classic SUV and more striking than a Coupé, the 300 SL Roadster that is one of the first supercar cars manufactured in the 50s or the legendary Silver Arrow that was the legendary car of Mercedes formula 1 of the 30s. The appearance of the cars that can be seen in the image is impressive and it will be necessary to see how they look while we run and launch gadgets to win the race.
We can also run with the Mercedes and wear it on the Wii U because between August 27 and September 23 we will be able to participate in the online championship organized by Mercedes-Benz and Nintendo, called Mercedes Cup, and that will take place worldwide. All we need to participate is the Wii U and Mario Kart 8 game with the downloaded Mercedes-Benz cars in addition to the corresponding broadband internet connection. Access to the Mercedes Cup will be available in the Mario Kart 8 online tournament section.
The Mario Kart 8 update also includes a wide variety of new features designed to improve your careers. Among them we can find:
- The option to display the map of the race on the television screen during the races.
- Be up to date with all your statistics to know the total number of coins accumulated, the records of wins and losses in online games, or the most used characters.

In addition, this update and celebration of the Mercedes Cup coincides with the 22nd anniversary of the launch of the original Mario Kart in Japan, Super Mario Kart, which was launched on August 27, 1992 for Super Nintendo.
We remember that Nintendo is a pioneer in the creation of interactive entertainment, which is based in Kyoto (Japan), and which manufactures and distributes hardware and software for its desktop consoles and for portable console families since 1983, when it launched the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Nintendo has sold more than 4.2 billion video games and more than 670 million hardware units worldwide, including current Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 2DS consoles. He has also created such familiar characters as Mario ™, Donkey Kong ™, Metroid ™, Zelda ™ and Pokémon ™ and at home we always like to play a game with one of these characters and some of these machines that do not stop evolving and especially providing Very fun games for the whole family.
