Mario Kart 8 Discussion (Nintendo Wii U) [game]

Welcome to the official discussion thread for Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!

This May, one game will define MULTIPLAYER FUN on Wii U. That game, is Mario Kart 8!


Mario Kart has been a Nintendo staple since it's SNES debut over two decades ago. Only two Nintendo products neglected to have an entry and each entry that has existed is a charming title in someone's eyes. Entries like Double Dash on Gamecube helped push the boundaries of creativity and uniqueness, while more recent titles have continued to refine a core experience. Mario Kart 8 seeks to continue that trend with it's jaw-dropping HD visuals, Anti-gravity racing, and incredibly well-designed tracks.


With all the characters known, the deep customization possibilities to each individual racer, the classic 32-total track count... there's so much to discuss and share and debate. Reviews are just coming in now and while I'll post a few below but they're not all gushing with pride. User Stephen recently made a thread aiming to have a more comprehensive list of reviews available. So... Are you impressed with the Mario Kart TV feature, excited for the Super Horn, or bummed at how battle mode has changed? Share your thoughts on the game below, now, upon release, and well after! Below you'll find a list of Nintendo Network IDs as compiled by our own Mop It Up! Be sure your friends are added to your console!

Why oh why can't I just unlock all this crapola while playing online?? Thankfully Amanda is here.


Also sign me up for future DLC. This game needs more retro tracks.

We could probably just set up a room seeing as there's a decent amount of us.

Am I doing something wrong? On my end I see everyone's name and I can send you a message, but t doesn't give me the option to join anyone >_>

Took four tries, but I finally got in on an online group. Once I was in the online worked great. Hopefully the "communication interruptions" and lag at the Nintendo rewards means that a great gobsmack of people have bought the thing.

I was getting my butt handed to me for the first few races, but came in second on the last one.

Haven't posted here in a while. Almost half a year, maybe? Anyway, I got this today. Finished all of 50cc On 100cc right now. Man, that Bowser level is so awesome. But, there are way too many kupa kids and baby characters. Eff'em. Pieces of crap. Pink Gold Peach on the other hand is great. New RR is pretty meh, IMO. Thankfully, N64 RR is here to save the day.

Also, if anybody wants to add me, my NNID is Ice-Insignia.

So I've found one glitch....on my favorite course too D:

On Bowser's Castle online, I clipped through the track twice at the strip where Bowser punches the track. One time I chocked it up to some lag issues, but then it happened the next lap in the same exact spot.


EDIT: Oh good, someone made a video of it 15 days ago.
