The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe qualifiers will be held in September, racers will accrue points as they compete in 150cc Race Mode with normal items across a variety of courses. The top two racers per qualifier will qualify for the Live Finals at PAX Australia.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe qualifiers will take place across the first two weekends of September with six events. Times can be found on the Nintendo Australia website.
Scores reset at the end of each day, so if you don’t win the first day, Nintendo encourages you to try again. A single player may only claim one prize and cannot qualify twice.
