Mario Kart 8

Mario Kart 8 is a racing game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. Returning from Mario Kart Wii is the ability to preform tricks, which give the player a small speed boost if executed properly. A returning feature from Mario Kart 7 means that karts can transform into both aerial and aquatic forms as well as use a new ability to employ anti-gravity effects, which allows for some very creative track designs. There can be up to 12 characters in a race, both in online and single player. It is the first game in the series to feature HD graphics, and an orchestrated soundtrack.
