In Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, you can receive special racing suits for your Mii character based on each amiibo character pic.twitter.com/useWTj1J2D

Those of you with a copy of Mario Kart 8 and the Bowser amiibo could be in luck as the official Twitter account for Nintendo Australia and New Zealand has tweeted an image which states that the Bowser amiibo is compatible with the game. It could simply be an error on their part, but it would be great if Bowser unlocks something special in the game, even if it is just a costume. Maybe something will be announced during the Nintendo Direct which takes place later today.
Thanks, Nintendo Impact Gaming

oops, should have been a secret till the Direct I guess….
I just realized they decided to do a Nintendo Direct on April 1st, how will I even know what to believe?!?!?!
fake. they would have added Bowser from Smash collection as he works the same way as the Mario Party collection.
Maybe I don’t know it looks like a error though look at the picture it doesn’t show browser amiibo from smash
The second DLC is due next month, maybe they’ll add new costumes in tandem with that?
Since the Smash series has a Bowser too it does seem like it was a mistake though
Toon Link doesn’t have a costume either. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Toon link gives you the link costume its just another way to get links costume
Lol kk. Who still plays Mk8 tbh?
Everyone mentioning Bowser from the Smash series – yes it could be an error but keep in mind, maybe Nintendo hasn’t been totally honest with the consumers. Maybe they want you to buy this figure because only this Bowser figure can be used and not the other one but who knows? This ain’t a hit on Nintendo but I wouldn’t put it pass them to be honest lol
