Mario Kart 3D GP

 is a spiritual remake of Mario Kart Arcade GP and its sequel for Nintendo 3DS. It is the eighth game in the main Mario Kart series and the tenth overall. Notable differences include no cameos from the Pac-Man and Tomogotchi series, elements from Mario Kart 7 appear, and the inclusion of three new cups. It is also notable that this is the first Mario Kart game where the only way of purchase is by digital download which can be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop.

Virtual Mario Cards
As no actual Mario Cards are required for, three Virtual Mario Cards appear in-game as save files. Like actual Mario Cards, Virtual Mario Cards contain data of the player's gameplay (i.e. the player's completed GP cups and class). There's also one guest Virtual Mario Card.

Grand Prix
In Grand Prix, the player races against computer drivers for winning the trophies in every race. There are three engine levels available: 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc with 50cc being the slowest and 150cc being the fastest. There are four rounds in each cup within this order: Track A, Track B, Mirror Track A and Mirror Track B. After having completed each round, the player receives a challenge, similar to the Mission Mode that appears in Mario Kart DS.

Time Trial
In Time Trial mode, the player tries to get the fastest time on the tracks.

VS
In VS mode, the player can race on any track the player desires. This mode also serves as the multiplayer mode where the player can race up with five friends.

Shop
In the Shop, the player can unlock new features with coins that the player has collected.

Mario Coins and Coins
Mario Coins, are coins that the player can collect in various parts of every track in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2. Coins can be used at the Shop to unlock new features while collecting a certain amount of Mario Coins can unlock special features.
