Template:Infobox Mario Kart 8 (the "8" stylized as the Möbius strip) is an upcoming Mario Kart game for Wii U, and confirmed to be released in Spring 2014. The game is the eighth installment in the mainstream series, and eleventh overall in the Mario Kart series. A new gimmick for the Mario Kart series, anti-gravity, is confirmed. Bikes, gliders, and underwater driving are also confirmed to return.
Gameplay
The gameplay maintains the traditional elements as most Mario Kart games. The main karts use a similar design from Mario Kart 7, with gliders returning from this game. 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. Coins, introduced in Super Mario Kart and returning in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart 7, also return for this game, and like Mario Kart 7 the player can only collect up to ten coins at one time.[1] 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[2]. It has been confirmed that there will be Miiverse integration, which will allow players to share their replay videos and comment on others' videos.
