Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit launched over a year ago but developer Velan Studios hasn't stop introducing new content. While they're primarily handling Knockout City these days, Home Circuit's version 2.0.0 just went live.

Part of this update includes the Luigi Cup, now available in the Grand Prix. Fulfilling certain conditions in this challenge gives players two new Environments and three Gate Types, which can be used in Course Creation.
