Trailer:​


Mario Kart Omega is the ultimate Mario Kart 8 Deluxe modpack, featuring over 100 mods from Gamebanana.

What this modpack aims to is to create an experience that is as close as possible to that of a future Mario Kart 9.
With 67 custom tracks, 5 custom batte courses, 37 custom characters and more you'll discover a totally new game and you'll finally see how offline Mario Kart can still be fun and challenging.

Unlike some other modpacks, which add content without thinking about if they actually fit in the game, every mod in Mario Kart Omega has been carefully thought out to ensure the most realistic experience possible.

Can confirm it does indeed work! Had it freeze in the course menu twice but have managed to get through two cups no probs.

Looks real good from what I have seen, love the black load screen too!
Happy to hear that! May I ask in what cases did it freeze?

Seems to be if you spend too long in the course menu but I'll certainly try again later.

Using last official build of yuzu on android. I've never had the game freeze when using simple texture mods that I use all the time but as this is bit more complex, it could just be my phone!

Maybe stupid question... The mod or the collection of mods seems very interesting and thank you very much for the hours but into the changes!! Is there a easy switch option between the original game courses/characters etc. and the mods to enable/disable before game start or something? Or do I have to remove all content from atmosphere folder and that is the only way I can switch between both worlds?

Hi! I suggest you to rename the '0100152000022000' folder to something like 'aa010015200002200' to make it load the game without the modifications, since it won't find the game's atmosphere folder.

You can rename the folder also through the Switch itself, by using 'Goldleaf'. You can install it either through the Homebrew Appstore or with this link manually.

Obviously, when you want to play Mario Kart Omega just rename the folder back to '0100152000022000'!

Hope I helped, let me know if you encounter any issues.

Sounds very good 👍 I will try it out when I am at home.. not thought about renaming - brilliant 👏 👌
Goldleaf I have already.
Maybe a restart of the Switch when changing in the atmosphere folder? But I will play around with that.

Thank you very very much

the restart isn't necessary as far as I know, but I may be wrong. I would try now but I can't until this evening

Super, works on the fly! Do not have to restart my Switch, very good!
I was capable with rename it via Goldleafe or when I have my computer running than via ftp (sys-ftpd over WLAN).

I did an adjustment to rename the romfs folder inside the folder "0100152000022000" therefore my cheats are still available. It works also...

Nice! So great to finally see some movement in the MK8D scene!
Don't get me wrong, there have been mods on GameBanana for years at this point but really fledged out complete modpacks? Rarely. There is SitBar's CT Pack and obviously the elephant in the room CTGP Deluxe but apart from that? Only smaller compilation packs.
So now there's 3. I'll be sure to test this out. At the same time it bugs me even more, that we still can't just have multiple instances of MK8D installed to our home screen, with different title IDs so that we don't have to use things like SimpleModManager.

Apart from bringing back XCI mounting from USB drives (those were great times!), this is my most requested Switch feature at the moment.

However sorry for getting off topic. Congratulations on the release. Maybe worth a front page news. @ShadowOne333

Very interesting.

For people who have tried it out, how are the custom tracks compared to CTGP-DX?
hello! ive made a custom track compilation on my YouTube channel

(this is only the first half, also this is about v2.0 and not 2.1 but there were small changes)

theres also this guy who showcased the custom battle courses!

(i dont know why but he wont use the suggested 3.0.3 MK8D version so custom prefixes to the tracks wont show)

    The one problem I have with a lot of beard balms like that is that they smell so intensely that it's like the only thing I can smell for an hour
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Question, what does a beard balm/wax actually do? Is it just a hair oil product, or does it act as a gel and shapes it or what?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah it's a hair oil, kind of like a leave-in conditioner, but it also helps to keep your skin under the beard moisturized a bit, and since it is oily it does help a tiny bit with helping it hold its shape or lay flatter especially after brushing it
