Mario Kart 8

Line 18:

A prominent new addition is [[anti-gravity]], allowing players to drive on almost any surface. Elements from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''Mario Kart 7'' are reused, such as 12-racer fields, [[Bike|bikes]] and 2-Player online from ''Mario Kart Wii''; and gliding, [[underwater driving]], and kart customizing from ''Mario Kart 7''. In addition, [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATVs]] join the returning [[kart]]s and bikes as a new class of vehicle. The game also features more detail in courses, specifically retro tracks, which appear more redesigned than their original appearances. The game is also the best-selling title for the Wii U, selling 8 million copies as of September 30, 2016, surpassing sales of both ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.

On November 7, 2017, Nintendo terminated the [[Miiverse]] service, which made it no longer possible for players to use this game's Miiverse stamps, upload highlight reels onto {{wp|YouTube}}, and create new online tournaments. On April 8, 2024, Nintendo will terminate the [[Nintendo Network]] service, which made it no longer possible for players to play the game online and attend the pre-existing online tournaments.
