I am a huge Mario Kart fan. I've actually played them all, and owned most of them. This edition of Mario Kart is incredible. Theres new items, like the megahorn and the boomerang. The antigravity racing is also really cool. Also i noticed if you fall and have coins you wont fall off the track for long. The graphics are amazing and it has really nice new tracks, as well as updated tracks from games as recent as MK7. I also love the fact that it records your races and puts together a highlight reel. Sharing your favorite races is alot of fun.
I didnt give this game the full 10 because the battle mode is apparently an afterthought this time around. Its not good cause you don't get specific stages for battles. Other than that its a great title to pick up. Buy a Wii U for this if dont have one already.
