This game incorporates the old and Nintendo's classic case of adding a new touch and uniqueness to the game. Like all mario karts, you race and beat your competitors, but how we go about this changes. You have different forms of gliders, different karts, different wheels as well as being able to choose different characters with their own unique personality of playing the game. And it's obvious the weapon selection has old and new choices. There are some old levels from the Super Nintendo, to N64, and Gamecube. You even have some levels in the 3DS. Nintendo has always carried a very auspicious incantation that captivates its audience almost comparable to what Disney does with it's movies. Except Nintendo is more driven on unique mechanics that brings everyone together by casual fun that can easily get competitive as everyone is involved. Take it from a middle aged man, I bought this game is more for me than the family so everyone better watch out. Great purchase!Read full review

This is theeee most fun family game in this universe! I have been playing since the 90s and each edition has been better! Nintendo seems to add just enough everytime to make people enjoy it like a new game. The only thing is I'd love to see Sony and/or Microsoft be able to obtain the rights to MARIOKART so it could be available to play on Sony's Playstation or Microsoft's xBox Consoles. Other then that wish the only thing I could actually say bad about this game is the price of it ecspecially when it is first released although I did purchase mine used for $10 on eBay. Thank you Nintendo for creating Mario, Luigi, Toad, Wario, Koopa and all those Fools! Obie should be your next character name!

Mario Kart 8 is, simply put, the greatest Mario Kart game I have ever played. The amazing graphics and super-fun gameplay make this game a blast to play with friends and establish it as a true classic and a must-have for any Wii U owner. The only negative I have is that the game's battle mode is sadly lacking in quality. But, if you're like me and play Mario Kart not for the battle mode but for the races (which are the best Mario Kart races I have ever played), this game will not disappoint.

With it being the latest edition of the Mariokart series. It completely meets the standards for modern gaming today. The graphics are nice. The game runs very smoothly. And they added the new hover mode feature which I think is really cool. With content literally being thrown at the audience consistently Mariokart 8 is almost a game if you have money for it you should be playing it right now. Mariokart 8 a well designed game that shines with fun gameplay with new added features.

I bought Mario kart 8 cause I'm a huge fan of the series. Have played them all so getting to play it again in GLORIOUS Hd is really something special. The graphics and gameplay are great, the physics are very life like and fluid as far as the way the car handles and the details with grass and overall environment, it looks better than I've been told. Only thing I don't like is the fact that i,can't play more than a Grand Prix or 2 before wanting to play something else, it doesn't reaLly make me want to play it for long stints cause it's gets relatively boring quick but take a break or play something else then when you play it again it's everything I previously described, a gorgeous very well crafted game, maybe some more non DLC stages to make it feel less redundant would've been nice but overall if you are a mario kart fan or are just looking for a fun game to play with friends, then look no farther cause mario kart 8 is here! Wahoo!Read full review
Mario kart is always and always will be a fun game. doesn't matter what version or age. Had several different ones. Got this extra since having 2 Wii u's so the children can play on different systems at the same time.

This is probably one of my top 3 favorite games. It has many levels, characters and unlockable material. It is so fun. I love the race tracks. So many of them and they are so cool. This is a must have game for any race fan.

This game is easy for the youngest members of the family, but challenging enough to keep older family members interested. Four family members can play at once and there is always a good laugh when some one wipes out mom's racer.

Mario Kart 8 is a fantastic and compelling addition to the series! Great graphics, gameplay, and re-play value! 2 cons if I had to pick about MK8; the AI can be a bit on the cheap side. It just doesn't want you to win 1st place for the cup. It does get progressively hard and cheap as you advance through the cups. It is not like the predecessors if you get good at it then your skill shows every time you play the game. The second con is that the battle mode is not the arena style environment. You now have to hunt your opponent down on the tracks you race on. Still, Mario Kart 8 is top notch and would recommend it for all!

My 11 year old son prepared for and won a local Mario Kart 8 competition. We looked up tips and watched fastest times and practiced, practiced, practiced. Toppling him in any race is a blast! This isn't just a racing game. With all of the items and crazy courses, anyone has a chance to lead the pack (at least briefly). You can customize your kart or bike to a degree, and there are plenty of beloved Nintendo characters to choose from. Compared to past versions, the battle game is not the best, but the courses are spectacular!
