It's not long until we'll be racing around in Mario Kart 8 at the slightly silly - but potentially awesome - 200cc speed. Whether a case of perspective or true to reality, the free update is bringing a level of pace that seems more than a mere one-third increase.

Up to now Nintendo UK has been posting some entertaining Time Trial runs that show off how the new speed opens up new shortcuts and routes through multiple stages. It's now the turn of the Mario Kart Facebook account, which has published a video showing off a race in Mute City. This track is certainly high on our list of must-plays in the 200cc category.

Marvel at the madness of it below - not long to wait now.
