Get ready for a wild, spectacular ride in this new installment in the Mario Kart series, featuring the return of bikes, stunning HD graphics, gravity-defying tracks, and hovercraft-like vehicles! Mario Kart 8 will also feature all the elements from Mario Kart 7 with coins, gliding, and underwater driving. What do you think?

The game is only 4.9GB according to the japanese website.

Here's the box art and the main menu icon.

Though Mario is the "main guy," of the Mario Kart series do many people actually use him? I'm no Mario Kart expert and haven't played MKW in a few years and don't have a 3DS, but seems like from comments I have read people don't seem to play as him.

Does this remind anyone of SSX? Specifically SSX3?

This has to be my favorite track already. <3

@Ryno - It's true that not many seem to play as Mario as much as the other characters. Example: whenever I play MK7, I see Yoshis and Toads, occasionally I see someone else playing Daisy and Rosalina and of course; an unnecessary amount of Metal Marios...

So it's not just me! Seriously, why do so many people play as Metal Mario? I just don't understand why.

Because he was pretty much the fastest in Mario Kart 7.

Oh....I never noticed.

Also, Super Mario Kart did not have any Luigi themed track.

One of my favourite pastimes was to do a few races and watch the replays of my performance. I don't know why but I always liked doing that. So I may end up spending a lot of time with MKTV. Hopefully the game records online races too.

You can download other players races so I think it does record online matches.

Never understood why Metal Mario was included. He sounds like he's drowning in water or something.

Anyway, I hope it has a records system like the DS version.

The promotion is cool. Too bad the only game I don't have on that list is wii party U.

I guess I'll ask here, since I have two options.

I can either get party u for free.

or I can trade in my physical copy of Pikmin 3 at wal-mart for about 35 bucks, and get the digital version back for free.

Hmm, I'm leaning more towards the 35 bucks, lol.

$35.00, I'm sure you can get Wii Party U for less then that soon enough.

There are going to be so many used copies of Pikmin 3, NSMBU, and WWHD out there after this promo. Haha..

Oh, that's right. I remember hearing about that in a GameXplain video. I can just see me making compilations of my bad luck online or just save silly-looking replays like this one. Wario's a really big bully.

Maybe they just like the character? I see no issue with lots of people playing as him. To each their own.

OK... I know I'm in the minority when I say that I don't want RPG characters in Mario Kart. Especially Fawful. That dude EXPLODED inside Bowser in BiS. He is dead at this point! The only RPG character I can think of that I'd be alright with being a racer would be Prince Dreambert and even that's a stretch...
