Gameplay

The gameplay appears to be the same as most Mario Kart games. The main karts use a similar design from Mario Kart 7 and have gliders. Bikes, which are introduced in Mario Kart Wii make a return. Vehicles can also go underwater. The game introduces anti-gravity tracks, that allow the players to race on vertical and upside-down roads. Kart customizing from Mario Kart 7 also seems to be a feature shown by some of the standard karts having different wheels. Also, like Mario Kart Wii, twelve racers are present in normal races[1]. It has been confirmed that there will be Miiverse integration, which will allow players to share their replay videos and comment on others' videos.
