Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
Channel 3 has a subscription called Turbo that costs $5/month. THIS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. Turbo helps support the platform, and gives you access to special features and the ability to unlock certain prizes.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.

Really the nice thing would be is adding new vehicles/wheels/rollers as well as new battle modes/tracks.
Also give bikes the ability to do wheelies like in mkwii
Keep them coming!!! Keep adding to the course catalog and keep adding new racers. I would like for them to add some new battle courses and modes as well as some new items
Nintendo should just keep this game going for years to come. I believe there is a better chance the next game will be considered a let down compared to this. Not because the next MK game will be bad, ...more
I hate how everything is becoming a subscription these days, but as I’ve paid ~$160 on this game on Wii U and Switch I realized I’d love a subscription for this game. New levels, but only if they ...more
I played the heck out of this before it ever came to switch and held out for a really long time not buying it.
Then I bought it and still haven't played it. So my thoughts are it's probably fine bu...more
I honestly have not played MK8 in a while. I enjoy racing games and trying to win all the cups. I would honestly rather play offline than online. Still waiting to try the new tracks
I feel like most of the Nintendo Switch Nintendo IP crossover games are set up to become the final legacy version of these games. Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Mario Golf, Mario Party, etc are all at...more
I have a hard time continually playing racing games. I lose interest pretty quickly. I'll keep sporadically playing 8 or I'll sporadically play 9. I do enjoy watching you guys racing on streams though...more
I still think this should just become a living game, with updates on the new Switch. The 8 doubles as an infinity sign - let it be infinite.
The games market is changing and Nintendo should reflec...more
TL;DR: Love the game, new courses great, no desire for Kart 9 unless something earth shattering happened, here & staying for the community.
The post asked for feelings and it just so happens, I hav...more
I haven't had a chance to play the new wave quite yet but it looks like more of the same as the previous waves. I feel all these waves are a way to old over the MK community until a new system is anno...more
I was very into MK on the Wii and started racing competitively online. But then everyone hacked their Wiis. Suddenly we were getting hit with lightning bolts on green and it killed my spirit. I played...more
I remember hearing chatter of people wanting a new game a few months before the DLC was announced. Everyone had played the "original" 48 tracks to their hearts content and wanted something new. But I ...more
I was going to get deep but then decided nobody has time for that. With the new DLC we still have a few years left of this game until the next Mario kart comes out. By then I think more people will be...more
I'm actually surprised Nintendo swapped out the Switch/kart bundle this year. The game continues to sell and I think more games should go the route of updating instead of releasing "new" games that ba...more
I think the next game should be Mario Kart Battle Mayhem. 96 battle arenas to choose from. New battle games, new items, etc. That way we can have racing still through MK8 and all our battles through a...more
I'm still playing MK8 on Wii U, and it's still enjoyable. I was holding out for 9, but now that they've released all of this dlc, I don't expect 9 for another 2 years at least, which means I'll proba...more
With 24 CUPS, 96 courses, and a plethora of different characters and builds the content is there to continue to have many years of excitement. The addition of the Mii costumes would add an interesting...more
I hope they continue to add content. They basically just gave us a whole new game, between doubling the courses and changing the meta. I am not looking forward to a new game, as I think it would div...more
I honestly don’t look forward to MK9, there’s mo need. Add some different features and game modes to the current game. I personally wish they would’ve spaced out the new tracks even more so the ...more
I don't have the time right now to fully hash out all my thoughts, so I promise to work on that.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has cemented itself as my all time favorite game because of the community I race...more
This was one of the first games I bought for the switch. I have played it a bit but got bored of it since my family is not competitive.
I have not gotten any of the dlc so I am sure I am missing a l...more
I am enjoying the new courses. Since I haven’t been playing since the Wii U days this is still fresh enough for me. I am enjoying the community around it enough to not want to see it go away anytime...more
The game has always been in my collection but rarely played. I played a lot of Mario kart 8 on the wiiu and maybe that’s why i just didn’t care to play it again on the switch. It’s becoming like...more
