How to Activate/Deactivate Tilt Controls (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe)

Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model

In this article, you'll learn how to activate and deactivate tilt controls on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Note: Tilt controls allow you to steer your racing vehicle by tilting the Joy-Con to the left or right as opposed to steering with the control stick only.

Complete these steps:

  1. From the HOME Menu select the game mode you want to play (Single Player, Multiplayer, Online Play, or Wireless Play).
  2. Set up the race until you reach the point where you select a car. (This is right after you've selected your character.)
  3. On the car selection screen, press the + or - Button to display the car's stats. The icon in the bottom-center of the stat window is the Tilt Control.
    • You can also reach this option during a race by pressing the + or - Button.
  4. Press the button shown next to the Tilt Controls icon to toggle this feature ON / OFF.
    • A yellow curved arrow will appear over the icon when the feature is on.
