Step 1. At the start menu, select Multiplayer and click the option 2P (two players). It is not necessary to have a friend to play with you or buy an extra control, since the Joy-Con's Switch can be used as two separate controls;

On the next screen, enter Battle mode and choose any character you want for both players;

Step 2. After choosing your riders and go-karts, the Battle mode settings screen will appear, and it is necessary to make the following changes:

At the top, select Coin Runners mode. On the Round Time tab push the directional to the left until you reach the "1 Minute" option. In COM, change the text to "In COM." Finally, in the lower corner change the Round Count to "24 Rounds";

Step 4. Let the second player stop and ignore him totally, since his coins do not count towards the total sum. Enjoy the free lane to pick up 10 coins with your main character quietly. At this level, they are all close to the central area without any challenge.

Every minute you can repeat the transaction, ensuring that 10 coins are included in your wallet effortlessly. At the end of the 24 rounds, you will have 240 coins in just under half an hour;

Step 5. There are 23 karts, 17 bikes, 21 wheels and 14 gliders in all to unlock in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Unfortunately it is not possible to choose in which order to release them, since the process is random.

Every 30 coins collected in the above steps will earn you a random vehicle. Once you reach 500 coins in total, the cost to unlock will rise to 50 coins for each new item;

Step 6. The Switch version of Mario Kart 8 already comes with almost all of its characters released from the factory, with the sole exception of Gold Mario, the mascot's golden version. Enabling it is laborious, but fun: just win a gold trophy in every cup of the game, closing the tournaments first.

To pilot the legendary gold go-kart, win all the cups in 150cc and Mirror Mode modes; the Golden Glider is released as soon as the player sums 5000 total coins; finally, the golden wheels require you to defeat all Staff Ghost (better lap times) in 150cc Time Trial mode.
