Players can use many items picked up on the track to hinder opponents or gain an advantage in the race. With the familiar gameplay of previous titles, Mario Kart 8 allows players to control characters from the Mario franchise and participate in racing on many different race tracks.

Mario Kart 8 was also considered a huge commercial success with more than eight million copies sold worldwide and was considered the best-selling Wii U game at the time. Launched in the world in May 2014, the game has won much love from long-time fans of the series by giving players many interesting and attractive improvements compared to previous games. This is the eighth installment in the popular Mario Kart series of games developed by the original Nintendo game. If you’re a fan of Nintendo’s Mario Kart game brand, you probably won’t be able to skip the best game in the series, Mario Kart 8.

There's also an item called the Crazy Eight, which is a mixture of eight different items that swirl around players as they race.Developers: Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development, Nintendo Entertainment Planning & DevelopmentĬomposers: Shiho Fujii, Ryo Nagamatsu, Kenta Nagata, Yasuaki Iwata, Atsuko AsahiĪwards: The Game Award for Best Sports/Racing Game, The Game Award for Best Family Game It will even knock out pesky blue shells, making it the first item to trump the dreaded homing missile that has terrorised players for many years. This, quite literally, blows all other items and drivers away by sending out a sonic shockwave across the course. There's also a host of new items to get to grips with, including the never-before-seen Super Horn. Like Mario Kart Wii, players will also be able to play as their Mii characters as well. Nintendo also announced that two new characters will be joining the race: Baby Rosalina, a smaller, lighter version of the heavyweight Super Mario Galaxy star, and Peach Gold Peach, a heavyweight metallic version of the Mushroom Kingdom princess that's a kind of counterpart to Metal Mario. There's a fantastic selection of games on offer, too, including the fantastic The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3 and Platinum Games' The Wonderful 101.
