Key Features
- The new antigravity feature allows for never-imagined racing circuit designs. Players will speed through courses and find themselves suddenly racing on walls in a
- haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach’s Castle as their wheels automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear.
- Mario Kart TV lets players share highlight videos they submitted to Miiverse.
- Experience a wealth of features that span the series
- including 12-player online competitive play. Elements first introduced in Mario Kart 7
- such as hang gliders and
- underwater racing
- along with elements introduced in Mario Kart Wii
- such as motorbikes and performing tricks in midair
- also make their return.
- Fan-favorites Waluigi and Toadette re-join the cast of familiar characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.
- Crisp HD graphics and a 60-frames-per-second frame rate offer players the most visually stunning entry in the series yet.
- Spin Turbo - While racing upside down or on walls
- players can bump into other racers or certain course obstacles to get a speed boost. Spin Turbo fundamentally redefines the way that players compete
- and makes antigravity racing even more exhilarating.
- Returning characters - In Mario Kart 8
- players can race with returning characters Metal Mario
- Lakitu and Shy Guy. These newly revealed returning characters join a host of previously announced favourites including all seven of Bowser’s minions
- who are playable for the first time in Mario Kart history.
- New items - Two new items join the fray in Mario Kart 8. First
- the Piranha Plant attaches to the front of the players’ kart and chomps at other characters
- banana peels on the course or even shells thrown by other characters. Each time the Piranha Plant lunges forward to bite
- the player receives a brief boost of speed. The second new item is the Boomerang Flower. After acquiring it
- racers can throw a boomerang at opponents to stun them
- and its arc allows players to strike multiple opponents with a single toss. The boomerang can be thrown three times
- forward or backwards.
- New courses - Remixed classic courses make a return in Mario Kart 8 with favourites such as Moo Moo Meadows from Mario Kart Wii
- Toad’s Turnpike from Mario Kart 64 and Donut Plains from Super Mario Kart
- among others. The graphics and layout of these courses have been redesigned and reimagined. For example
- Toad’s Turnpike now allows players to drive up certain walls in antigravity mode. The game will include 16 new courses and 16 remixed classic courses.
- Live recorded music - For the first time in the Mario Kart series
- select courses in Mario Kart 8 feature music recorded by live performers.
- Control scheme - Mario Kart 8 will support a variety of control schemes including the Wii U GamePad
- the Wii U Pro Controller
- the Wii Wheel
- and Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The game can also be played in off-TV mode using just the Wii U GamePad.
