A rare collaboration between Toyota and Nintendo will give away 500 Switch and Mario Kart consoles

Toyota and Nintendo have announced a rare crossover in which buyers of a new SUV will receive a free Switch console, along with a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

This unusual partnership marks Nintendo’s second collaboration with a car manufacturer in connection with Mario Kart 8, which already introduced three Mercedes-Benz vehicles including the GLA, W 25 Silver Arrow and 300 SL Roadster in 2014.

The last mainline Mario Kart game will be ten years old in a few months, but its 2017 Deluxe reissue for Switch continues to enjoy the support of Nintendo, as the Japanese company is currently in the midst of releasing a massive 48-track expansion.

According to the latest information available, the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pack Wave 4 DLC will be released in spring.

Meanwhile, Toyota attended the latest edition of the Chicago Auto Show to announce a curious collaboration with Nintendo aimed at promoting the upcoming arrival of its 2024 Grand Highlander, which will go on sale in the summer of 2023.

To celebrate, 500 future owners of this luxury SUV will receive a free Switch OLED and a physical version of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Toyota even brought a custom Grand Highlander with a Switch-themed vinyl to the 2023 Chicago Auto Show to commemorate its second collaboration with Nintendo. It should be clarified that this collaboration is exclusive to North America.
