The fan-made SNES ROM hack Super Mario Kart Deluxe is scheduled to launch on December 25, 2026. Its planned additions include eight new characters, six extra cups, a mission mode with custom bosses, new items, music, and several multiplayer modes. The developers say it should work on real SNES hardware and emulators, with NTSC development currently underway and PAL and NTSC versions being considered.
