Mario Kart has been such a great title for many reasons...it's easy to control, competitive, a rush of simple fun racing and using power ups to finish laps by record time surviving the mayhem to the finish line first. There has been many versions with unique features and courses all leading up to the latest release, Mario Kart 8!
Anti-gravity, hang-gliding, underwater courses, and buggies will be some of the new features along with over 25 playable characters.

I'm planning on purchasing the Wii U Zelda wind waker HD bundle with an extra tablet just to play the latest of one of my favorites.

Mario Kart 8 starts its engine 5/30/2014

I liked how that different modes had different courses, I wish some other games did that.

Like each difficulty setting was its own quest with different levels, like Easy, Medium, Hard, and Master.

Hey that would be something for an rpg, different level, different maps, quests, beasties, etc...

Ma r io Kart did it by CC speed so the more advanced courses the more speed to start off, also battle mode can't wait to pop some balloons.
