Welcome to Mario Kart 8, the brand new game for the Nintendo Wii U! This is the first Mario Kart game in beautiful HD, & they've also added some awesome features, including the new ATV, 9 new characters (2 of which have never been in any Mario game before), 4 new items (Boomerang Flower, Potted Piranha Plant, Super Horn, Crazy 8), & the brand new anti-gravity mechanic, which looks amazing as you follow the track upside-down. In total, there are 30 playable characters (Roster Spoilers: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Toad, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisey, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Wario, Waluigi, Rosalina, Toadette, Metal Mario, Lakitu, the Koopalings Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, & Ludwig, Pink Gold Peach, Baby Rosalina, and Mii),14 of which are unlocked randomly as you win cups in offline grand prix, 21 items, & 32 tracks: 16 new & 16 lovingly remade from past Mario Kart games. You've got to make sure we're collecting a ton of coins, not just because they make you drive faster, but they're also used to unlock the 14 karts, 9 bikes, 3 ATVs, 18 tire types, and 11 gliders. Just like in Mario Kart 7, you can custom select your vehicle, tires, & glider. Make sure you press + to see your stats when you change parts out! Every driver can use every part, but their weight class will change stats & how big of a target you are. Outside of the Grand Prix cups, you can also play Time trials, plus local & online VS or Battle Modes. Bikes, gliders, and underwater driving also return. Reviews have been phenomenal, though I'll give my final review once we've beaten all tracks, every cup, & found all unlockables. Let me know if you're having fun & what character to play next. Thanks for watching! Hey! I'm Adam (aka Swimming Bird) and I play games every day. I love you guys, and I read every comment!
