One Of The Wii U's Strongest Titles.

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

A great continuation of the ever famous series of Mario Kart. The graphics on this game are utterly beautiful and very distracting when first playing new tracks and you're in awe over the landscape they have created and then you end up drifting off of the edge of the map and then proceed to hurl profanities at Lakitu as he does it duty and saves you from imminent death. On a serious note, the graphics are great and crisp and very colorful. There are a lot of different customization options for your kart in this game with a lot of new ones, the biggest being the new glider attached to the kart. There are a decent amount of different characters to race as, but the issue becomes that there are much, much to many of the Koopas from the Bowser realm, in fact, there are 30 racers in Mario Kart 8, and (not including Bowser, Koopa Troopa, Lakitu or Dry Bowser) there are 7 of these little Koopa characters, that really aren't anything special and I don't care to play, especially considering the fact that they certainly don't hold the reputation of the more common Nintendo characters that we've been with since the NES days. Also, there are a lot of tracks on this game, but they DO get old. There are 32 tracks to play, 16 of which are new tracks made for this game, and the other 16 are remakes of old tracks from previous Mario Kart games. Don't get me wrong, the remakes are cool to play on, as they have a little more life in them and the graphics are very pleasing, but I've already seen these tracks before, and would have liked to have seen much more NEW tracks to play on. The gameplay mechanics themselves are great and the controls are great, and the online is fairly balanced and fun to play. There really isn't anything significant to complain about with this title. This is definitely one of the Wii U's strongest titles to date.

Great game!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

This game is really good, I would give it 5 stars but that implies to me that it is perfect. It is not perfect, so it gets 4 stars.

To start off, right away, here's why it loses a star:

-There's no minimap on the screen during races or battle mode. You apparently have to use the gamepad screen for the minimap, which is pointless if you're not playing using the gamepad or unfair in local multiplayer if only one person gets to use the gamepad. Also by removing your eyes from the road to look down at the gamepack can often result in disaster. So, what the heck, I want an onscreen minimap as is tradition.

-The N64 Rainbow Road retro track has been ruined. I was so pumped up for the return of this epic track, only now it's not so epic. Somehow they turned it from being the longest track in the series to easily the shortest track in this entire game. The track has great music, and comes off looking epic with all the flashy stuff and fireworks, but it's really over in like a minute. Sucks if you got off to a rough start because there's not much time to make up for that. The reasoning for this track being ruined is that you only do one lap around now, one full lap, split into 3 sections. Seeing as to how it was so long on the N64 version that you only did 2 laps, you're still only doing half the race. The track is still shorter because you're now going through it faster. I now want them to fix this track to be how it should have been, one of my favorite tracks has been made to be a huge disappointment.

-And to be nitpicky - would be nice to have the mii character not wearing the helmets. Also they removed characters from previous mario karts to make room for a slew of koopalings.

Fortunately that's all I have to say about the bad stuff. The game itself is made to be appropriately challenging, all the new tracks have been very well designed and are fun. Basically if you've ever liked mario kart before, you'll continue to like it now. It's not much different. Blue shells appear to be more rare now, however there's also an item that can be used to prevent getting hit by a blue shell. The squid ink is possibly annoyingly more effective now.

Battle mode probably should have had some traditional battle arenas put in, although I personally enjoy the regular tracks also. Particularly Yoshi's Valley, it's a really cool battleground. However the lack of on screen minimaps contributes to difficulties of tracking people down.

Online mode is lots of fun, and considering they have since turned off online play for previous mario kart games, gotta upgrade to this game to continue enjoying online mode. There is also tournaments online now, and you can gather coins to unlock new karts and accessories while playing online. I've also noticed that the penalty of getting 12th place during online matches is much less severe than on the wii, where you could lose hours of progress for your online score from one botched race. It ultimately doesn't matter much in the end, but no one likes losing 100+ points.

December 2014 Update :

The first DLC pack was released. Eight additional courses that are all very well done. I have bumped my rating up to 5 stars, as this is truly the most addicting Mario Kart I have ever played. Been playing it regularly since it came out...

Also the game was patched to display onscreen minimaps, fixing that issue. Yoshi gets multiple colors. Amiibo Mii racing suits are cute. Looking forward to the next 8 track DLC!

first let me state that this is a great game on the U

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

So I got Mario Kart 8 for my Birthday, and after about three weeks of playing it decided to do this review, first let me state that this is a great game on the U, I would argue as far as fun it's one of the best, but it has it's flaws, that keeps it from getting that perfect Classic 5 star score. Now onto the pluses and minuses.

+ The variety of Karts, Motorcycles, etc. is amazing, each has their own stats, and can be customized, with different types of wheels, gliders, and parachutes. (Even Umbrellas)

- A lot of the Karts etc. no matter how you set them up, have very similar stats.

+ The graphics are simply amazing, the underwater scenes are jaw dropping, and the tracks, and design there of are simply awesome.

+ Anti Gravity racing is a nice feature.

- Unfortunately, while it's nice and everything, it really does not make much difference in the game as a whole.

+ The controls are awesome, and fast and responsive.

+ There is a nice selection of characters, some new,and a lot of returning favorites.

+ The new power ups/weapons are fun to use when you get them(My fav. is Piranha Plant)

- Yeah, unfortunately there seems to be a huge balance issue concerning power ups in general, the computer on single player seems to have a unfair advantage.

+ The game play is fast, furious, and fun, if the tracks don't test your skill, your opponents certainly will.

- The battle mode is not as fun as it used to be, and quite frankly can be infuriating, and frankly as far as single player racing goes, every thing I don't care for in this series, is actually worse in this game, partially do to the unbalanced power up system. Mario Kart has always had that one opponent, that would always finish either right behind you, or even beat you at the last second, I guess this was to make the game more challenging, well, it happens here to, Mario Kart has always been more about luck then skill, (After all you could have the perfect character, the perfect Kart, and race the track perfectly, and still get slammed by a turtle shell, and end up dropping anywhere from 1 to 4 places and sometimes more) In addition, as in all Mario Karts, the CPU opponents drive perfectly, and a lot of times stay close together, but what can really be infuriating, is the CPU opponents seem to focus exclusively on you, throwing everything at you, you may find yourself hit by lightning, followed by a turtle shell, followed by you driving over a unavoidable banana peel, or being hit by a Boomerang, while the CPU completely for the most part ignores other opponents, and those are the reasons this is not a 5 star classic.

Overall, though this is a Very Good game, and quite possibly the best racer on the U. If you are a fan of the series, or love racing games,and you have a U, this is a must buy for you.

Excellent for Online Multiplayer Gaming!

Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2014

I bought Mario Kart 8 since it's the first 1st-Party Wii U title to be released that lets you compete against others online through Nintendo Network, aside from Wii Sports Club (for those of you who don't know, the other 1st-Party Nintendo Wii U titles currently available -- New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze -- don't include any online multiplayer features at all).

With very few first-party titles available for the Wii U, I thought I'd give this one a try. For my first-ever Mario Kart game, I was pleasantly surprised. The 1080p HD graphics and high quality soundtracks are awesome, and the ability to compete with 11 other people online over the Internet gives this game sustained replay-ability that the other games that I mentioned above don't have, due to the lack of online multiplayer features in them. Also, using the Wii U Gamepad to steer the kart is very fun and realistic.

One thing I was both amazed and surprised at, was with regards to the lack of latency issues while playing online. I thought for sure that without a Wii U LAN Adapter, competing with up to 11 other players simultaneously over the Internet through the Wii U connecting wirelessly to my Linksys router would result in some form of major lag happening during the races (the main complaint I had with Super Smash Bros. Brawl), but I was wrong, and online multiplayer was as smooth as if I had an Ethernet cable plugged directly into the back of my Wii U. Maybe this is partly due to Nintendo hosting the servers themselves now, as opposed as through GameSpy's servers, like in previous years. Still, very impressive.

My only gripe with this game is that it does become repetitive very quickly. Within about 3 days, I had finished in 1st Place for all 32 race tracks in the Single Player's Easy Mode. And then I found out that I had to do the exact same thing again on the same 32 tracks in both Medium and Hard difficulty. After playing through all 32 race tracks and finishing in 1st Place on all of them, having to do the exact same thing again on two higher difficulty settings didn't pique my interest at all.

Needless to say, it's a definite must-have for any Wii U owner. I'm still waiting for the next Pokémon and Paper Mario RPGs to be released on the Wii U, but for the moment, Mario Kart 8 will have to keep me occupied until then.

Muy divertido, en modo carreras

Reviewed in Mexico on August 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

Igual que cualquier Mario Kart con algunas mejoras, por ejemplo puedes personalizar un poco los vehículos y en algunas pistas hay paneles que permiten circular sobre la pared o el techo. Hay una buena variedad de pistas con diferentes tipos de terrenos. Los gráficos muy buenos, la música no me agradó tanto. Lo que les falló de plano es el modo Battle, no hay mapas para éste solo son algunas de las mismas pistas en las que das vueltas de carreras, nada como el clásico Block Fort del N64 o el Mario píxeles del GCN. Ojalá regresaran el modo de dos jugadores por vehículo como en Double Dash, era bastante divertido. Puedes descargar dos paquetes con más pistas y personajes por $12 USD.

My kids like playing it. I like the 1080 resolution

Reviewed in Canada on December 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

I love it? I don't know. I don't play TV games.

My kids do. They have played the old Mario Kart game. When screens get bigger and bigger, the old 480 resolution picture looks pretty bad.

So I got the WiiU version. My kids are happy with the U version. The HD pictures look so much better on a big screen.

A bit expensive though. I think Nintendo should give some discount if people can turn in their older version.

Really fun game, but didn't hold my interest as long as others in the series

Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

First off, the game is really slick looking. Best looking game on the Wii U so far. Aside from that, it is just a quality Mario Kart game. The anti-gravity stuff they advertise really doesn't change much about the game other than a few shortcuts on some of the tracks.

The online play is smooth and handles people dropping in and out really well.

I wish the game had proper battle arenas instead of just playing battle mode on the normal tracks. I like the additions of the Koopa Kids as playable characters, but this is countered by rehashes of other characters (Baby characters, metal characters).

The kart customizations are neat and do let you build a kart to your liking, but I found it was really hard to win races as anything but the fastest characters.

Perfecto para jugar local o modo online

Reviewed in Mexico on April 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

La nueva forma de levitación y andar bajo el agua son tan buenas como uno esperaría. Las nuevas pistas, karts, y los personajes son todos buenos agregados además de que hay favoritos que regresan. Si te gustó Mario Kart en el pasado, esto es otra entrada en la serie fantástica.

Además, el juego se ve hermoso en Full HD con 1080p a 60f / s. Hay pequeñas atenciones al detalle en cada esquina.

La curva de aprendizaje es muy rápida y los controles se integran bien en el juego.
