Wake Up to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Alarmo Clock!
Nintendo’s Alarmo clock now features a free Mario Kart 8 Deluxe theme update! Previously announced alongside an Animal Crossing: New Horizons theme, the Mario Kart theme is now available after linking a Nintendo Account.
How to Get the Theme
However, obtaining this exciting update requires both a Nintendo Account and the purchase of an Alarmo clock. Currently, the Alarmo isn’t widely available in Europe and America and is limited to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Japanese subscribers previously participated in a lottery, but this has changed to a pre-order system with delivery expected in early February 2025. A wider launch, initially planned for mid-February 2025, has been postponed due to stock shortages.
What the Update Includes
The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe theme brings a selection of exciting alarm sounds from popular tracks:
- Mario Kart Stadium
- Twisted Mansion
- Dolphin Shoals
- Electrodrome
- Cloudtop Cruise
- Bowser’s Castle
- Rainbow Road
While the Alarmo’s motion sensor is praised, Eurogamer’s review notes that the pricey gadget may not fully justify its cost.
