Mario Kart 8

Mario Kart 8 is the eighth main installment in Nintendo's popular racing game series and was released exclusively for the Wii U. Mario Kart 8 continues the proven formula of the series - with colorful tracks, familiar Nintendo characters and chaotic multiplayer fun - but also brings fresh ideas to the game that take the racing experience to a new level.

The biggest highlight of Mario Kart 8 is the new anti-gravity feature: On certain sections of the track, the karts drive along walls or even upside down, which creates spectacular track designs and new tactical possibilities. This creates a completely new driving experience in Mario Kart 8 that feels dynamic and surprising - and is visually impressive.

As usual, Mario Kart 8 features a variety of characters from the Mario universe, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and many more. Vehicles can also be customized in Mario Kart 8: Tires, frames and gliders can be combined to influence driving behavior and style.

The mix of tracks in Mario Kart 8 is one of the game's highlights. In addition to new, elaborately designed racetracks, there are also many reinterpreted classics from previous Mario Kart games - in revised HD graphics and with new mechanics. There are also numerous items, including classics such as the banana, the green tank and the dreaded blue tank.

Mario Kart 8 offers extensive multiplayer modes, both locally in split screen and online with players from all over the world. The competition mode, in which new challenges are regularly set, is also particularly popular in Mario Kart 8.

The presentation of Mario Kart 8 is consistently high quality: smooth 60 FPS, HD graphics, a catchy soundtrack and detailed animations make Mario Kart 8 one of the most visually appealing games on the Wii U.

Mario Kart 8 is a fast-paced, creative and technically impressive fun racer that will delight fans of the series and offer newcomers a perfect introduction. Thanks to its anti-gravity tracks, large fleet of vehicles and strong multiplayer mode, Mario Kart 8 is one of the best titles on the Wii U - and one of the highlights in the entire Mario Kart universe.
