How to control playback of your highlight reel in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

How to take the perfect screenshot in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
After you've customized the highlight reel with the best possible angles, you can replay the reel and take a screenshot of the action.
Hint: The best looking shots tend to come from setting the focus to Big Hits and Items. That's when the angles are the best.
Play through the reel once, noting moments that look particularly cool. Then, when the reel automatically replays again, get ready to slow things down by pressing the B button. If you miss a shot, rewind and try again. Press the Screenshot button on the left Joy-Con to grab screenshots of the action.
Once you've collected a couple of sweet screenshots of you flying through the air or crashing into someone, share them to your Facebook or Twitter feed and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
