Questions about this item

Does the cartridge draw much power or make the Switch noisy when I race all day?

It is a standard Nintendo Switch game card, so it uses the console's normal power draw and runs silently with no extra heat.

What do I need to already own before this game will play?

You need a Nintendo Switch console; the game card plugs directly into the cartridge slot with no extra hardware.

Will my older Wii U Mario Kart 8 DLC work with this Switch version?

The Wii U DLC tracks and characters are already included on the card — 16 DLC tracks and 36 characters from the Wii U release are built in.
