Nintendo has released new gameplay footage of every single race course available in the upcoming racing title, featuring your favorite Mario characters. Keep in mind all of the tracks are available for Time Trials and VS modes as well as the Grand Prix mode. This time around, players are able to glide and hover their way to the finish line using the newly introduced hand glider. Of course, the game will include familiar vehicles such as karts, bikes, and ATV’s, with the ability to customize numerous tires and gliders.
A total of 32 courses span across 8 cups, all ranging in difficulty and diversity – the Mushroom Cup giving players the chance to navigate fairly straightforward tracks, eventually moving onto the Lightning Cup, known for its often complex courses, more notably the infamous Rainbow Road. You can take an in-depth look into all of the courses through the official Mario Kart 8 website.
Aside from the usual roster, new racers are entering the tournament, including Baby Rosalina, Pink Gold Peach, Ludwig, and more. You will be able to hit the road once the game hit shelves on May 30 – the same day the exclusive Mario Kart 8 Wii U bundle is released, which also comes with a free copy of selected titles.
