How to Unlock Golden Mario in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Gold Mario is the final new character added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. While it is only a new skin for Metal Mario, players will still want to unlock him to show other players that they achieved a certain level of mastery in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

To unlock Gold Mario, you will have to win all Cups in Grand Prix at 200cc by reaching first place. Considering how 200cc is the hardest difficulty in the game, only the best Mario Kart 8 Deluxe players will be able to achieve this feat.

While accomplishing this may sound hard, it is not as difficult as it seems, since you do not need to win each race, only to be in first place at the end of each cup. Practice a lot, learn the ins and outs of each track, and you will eventually unlock this elusive character!
