Nintendo - Mario Kart 8 lyrics

Mario Kart racing game series is a staple in Nintendo's line-up of video games. This spin-off is a kind of its own. A Mario Kart game has appeared on many of Nintendo's systems since the SNES. Super Mario Kart was the first Mario Kart game ever released, and now we're at Mario Kart 8. Game Modes Grand Prix There are two different versions of the Grand Prix the player can participate in. The Nitro Grand Prix and the Retro Grand Prix. The Nitro Grand Prix section of the Grand Prix contains sixteen brand new courses, where as the Retro one houses remastered courses from previous games. One has to beat a cup, starting from the Mushroom Cup or the Shell Cup, to unlock the next set of races. Each cup ups the difficulty of the rival racers and the courses get longer. Time Trial Every Mario Kart game features a Time Trial mode. In this mode, players race through the set amount of laps for each course to achieve the fastest time of completion they can. Players usually start out with Triple Mushrooms. Time Trials in Mario Kart 8 can be shared online with other players and, like other gameplay, can be uploaded to YouTube. You can also try to be others time by racing their ghost. If you are to beat somebody's fastest time, you will receive a Miiverse sticker. Battle Mode The verse mode in Mario Kart has changed significantly. Instead of being in an arena like place, your drive around on the same courses you race on in the Grand Prix. They have everything all the other races have in terms of items. The objective is the same, as you play to remove our opponents balloons through the use of damaging items. Features Anti-Gravity Anti-gravity is one of the newest features to the game and was best shown off. Through special parts of the race courses, your automobile will be able to ride along surfaces you usually would not be able to race on, such as the side of a building. It adds more to the game itself, as new strategies are awakened to maintain your position as the Mario Kart champion. Kart Customization Kart customization is not a new feature, but improved and new to the home based console counterparts of Mario Kart. There are 36 different parts divided into 3 different categories; bodies, tires and gliders. Aside from looking cool and being a great way to show off what embodies you as a race, they actually serve to impact your kart stats. Whether is be to boost your speed at the expense of handling or sacrificing the strength of your mini-turbo to drive faster underwater and during anti-gravity, this is a key to victory. Interactive Obstacles Like previous installments in the series, Mario Kart has interactive objects on the track that the races take place. From the Giant Egg on Yoshi Valley to the Goombas that parade on any and every track they can. The twist this time around is, in anti-gravity mode, when you hit another racer or certain objects, you spin around and you perform a short burst of speed.
