Bonuses
If both this DLC pack and Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 are purchased, the player will be able to use 8 new alternate colors of both Yoshi and Shy Guy. The player gains access as soon as the packs are purchased, so if both packs were pre-ordered, the player could use these colors right away, before the release of either pack. These colors cannot be selected by CPU players.
