1st place finish!

On March 7, 2025, Nintendo gave players 10 days to go online and collectively see if they could complete one million laps in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The event was part of Nintendo’s MAR10 Day celebrations, and the results are in. It has been revealed that players did much better than expected and completed 2.5 million laps. For those in North America who competed in the challenge, your Platinum Points are available now.

For the completion announcement, we have it here:
