'''''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''''' is a ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' game for arcade systems, produced by [[Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai Namco Games]]. It is the twelfth installment in the ''Mario Kart'' franchise and the third title in the ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series following ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', which was a follow-up to ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]''. Just like the previous two ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' games, it is possible to do multiplayer play by linking up to four cabinets. In 2017, another game was released called ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP VR]]''. | '''''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''''' is a ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' game for arcade systems, produced by [[Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai Namco Games]].

Grand Prix, National Battle, and multi-player modes are featured in the game. Unlike the other two ''Arcade GP'' releases, Time Trial is not present in the game. First the player chooses a character. Then the player can choose between seven karts, five of them being unlockable. Before starting a race, the player can take their photography and decorate it with twelve included features, such as a samurai helmet and a pirate suit. On some cases, [[:File:Arcade_GP_DX_4_Player_Results.JPG|the camera cannot be used, in which the player's photography is their selected character's portrait]]. The arcade operator can set whether the camera should be used or not. The player can choose to play in 50cc, 100cc and 150cc, with the latter two being unlockable. The player then must choose which one of three themed tracks (Toad, Mario, Don-chan) they want to play. Like ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', there are only six racers in each race rather than eight or twelve, with the exception of playing Versus with 2-4 players or Team Battle with 4 players; where there are four racers. Unlike the other two ''Arcade GP'' games, the goal of Grand Prix is to finish each race in 3rd or better. Every circuit has a time limit of 250 seconds, and when the player is at first place their photography has a crown. When the player completes a lap, lights between the game screen change color. The main feature of the game is that players can now play in cooperative (with 2 players) or in teams (with 4 players), similar to ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' in that a player is the driver and the second shoots items. Cooperative or team play allows the player to gain a special power-up which transforms the player's kart into a [[Fusion Kart]] that will drive and the second player is called to control the turret and shoot unlimited amounts of [[Green Shell]]s at any direction for a limited period of time.<ref>[ | Grand Prix, National Battle, and multi-player modes are featured in the game.

Additionally, gameplay elements from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' such as the use of gliders and [[Underwater driving|underwater courses]] are present. | ||
Instead of Mario Cards like the last two installments, the player can use a Banapassport Card to save their progress. The game makes extensive use of downloadable content, where over the course of five years the game will gradually have more content added through major yearly updates, so in the end there will be a total of 30 courses, 20 characters, 120 vehicles and about 150 items, increased from 10, 12, 22 and 90 respectively as long as the machine is set up to an internet connection by the operator.<ref> | Instead of Mario Cards like the last two installments, the player can use a Banapassport Card to save their progress.

'''National Battle''' is an exclusive mode for Japanese cabinets. A new single-player mode in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'', this mode pits the player against other people in race tracks around the region. In this mode, players race to earn experience points to complete sections of the region, rank up and gain additional frames for their avatar. Here, the player selects a track to race from the limited tracks available. For each race except one-on-one battles, there are four karts competing and regardless of what cabinet number they use and who they face off against, they must always start each race in 4th place. | '''National Battle''' is an exclusive mode for Japanese cabinets.

'''Versus''', also known as '''Two Player Versus''' with two players, is a multiplayer mode in this game. By linking up to four cabinets, up to four people can take on Versus. This mode returns from the previous two ''Arcade GP'' games, and is the only mode available with three players. In this mode the players (and CPU if necessary) compete to see who can come in 1st place in a specified race track. In this mode, the players vote for a track. If two or more tracks tie for the most amount of votes the easiest track will be selected. However, if PAC-MAN Stadium or NAMCO Circuit is one of the tracks with the tied highest vote then that specific track will be selected. In the case that both PAC-MAN Stadium and NAMCO Circuit tie for the most votes then the players will race on PAC-MAN Stadium. After voting for a track, the player votes if they want to race in Normal or Mirror. If the vote is tied then the players always race in the Normal version of the track. In this mode, each player will select their three items and take their own photography, which will be displayed to the other players in the race. [[:File:Arcade_GP_DX_4_Player_Results.JPG|If a player cannot take a picture because the camera on their cabinet is disabled, the character they select will be revealed to the other players.]] In VS Race, Two Player Co-op and Team Battle, each player is given a color depending on which cabinet number they're on for easy identification: | '''Versus''', also known as '''Two Player Versus''' with two players, is a multiplayer mode in this game.

Like Two Player Co-op, this race type has a special item that can be used, which is the Fusion Kart. Unlike the Two Player Co-op race mode, Fusion Karts in this mode have [[Health Meter|health bars]], in which if its health depletes, the tank will be destroyed and the players will take damage. It usually takes four hits to destroy the Fusion Kart. Unlike Two Player Co-op, this mode does not have the Friendship Shield feature. Just like Two Player Co-op after a race, each team scores points depending on each player's finishing position and the winner is the team who has the most points. If the players in one team finish 1st and 4th and the players in the other team finish 2nd and 3rd, the battle is considered a tie. | Like Two Player Co-op, this race type has a special item that can be used, which is the Fusion Kart.

The game currently features 14 race tracks, of which the first 10 tracks share the general track layouts of courses in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' but modified significantly, mainly to alter their theme and accommodate the vehicles. Only the Mario and Bowser Cups keep their tracks' original branding; the Yoshi Cup becomes the Toad Cup, the Donkey Kong Cup becomes the Don-chan Cup, and the Waluigi Cup becomes the Bowser Jr. Cup. The downloadable Pac-Man Cup and Donkey Kong Cup have tracks with entirely different layouts compared to ''GP'' and ''GP 2'', while the Wario and Rainbow Cups are removed entirely; it is unknown if the last two cups' courses will return through future updates in the game. | The game currently features 14 race tracks, of which the first 10 tracks share the general track layouts of courses in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' but modified significantly, mainly to alter their theme and accommodate the vehicles.
