PREVIEW: Mario Kart 8 - Glimpse Into New Race Courses

Nintendo has revealed three completely new tracks to compete in.


Through the official Twitter of Nintendo UK, images of three new courses have emerged, showing off the vibrant and eye-candy visuals players have become accustomed to throughout the series.

Mario Circuit 

One of the smaller tracks featuring long corners and close-quarters, which should encourage hectic gameplay with the aid of the game's various power-ups and weapons. Surrounded with greenland and rugged cliffs, the most noticeable environmental enhancement would be Princess Peach's very own castle.


Sweet Sweet Canyon

Willy Wonka invades the world of Mario Kart - complete with windmills made from candy and various sugary treats surrounding the course, players shouldn't be fooled as a Pirahna Plant could interrupt that first place position at a moments notice.


Thwomp's Ruins

One of the more sinister tracks features lots of Thwomp enemies, who have a tendency of squishing any racer daring to ride under them - we also see multiple options in traversing the track, making for interesting and competitive gameplay. preview1


Mario Kart 8 is to hit shelves exclusively for Wii U on May 30 in Europe and North America, whilst Japan gains the earliest access of May 29.
