MarioKart 8 Official Review

I've been using the original Wii Mariokart for about six years now - it's not too glitchy, and surprisingly high tech (taken for granted we got this when I was four).  So it probably wouldn't surprise you that I was interested in Mariokart 8.  Honestly though, I didn't see anything beyond updated race tracks...I was beyond wrong.

Mariokart updated features in Mariokart 8:

• Ability to do a Prix in multiplayer
• You can watch the highlight reel on any mode
• You can re-watch the highlight reel on MKTV
• You can edit the highlight reel
• Going upside down during races (duh!)
• Updated, new awesome battle mode
• Easy personalized rules for v.s. mode and battle mode
• New and updated races
• New characters
• Vehicle customizations (tires and paragliders, besides updated cars)
• Easy online play

Besides that, the graphics are incredible, and the driving is very well though through.

Four and a half stars (half a point taken off for slightly annoying music and one glitch, which you can expect in any game)
