Mario Kart 8 Archives

Monopoly, in general, gets a bad rap for being a game that causes a lot of fights. And it should to a degree, because the goal of the game is to be a capitalist and put everyone else in the poor house. Which is why we enjoyed seeing a new version stray away from that in Monopoly Gamer from Hasbro, which we saw at PAX

Credit// Shesez Thanks to the work of a YouTube quite literally breaking down boundaries in Mario Kart 8 levels, we've gotten a better look at just how detailed each track really is If the images do indeed show the size and scale of the levels, well, tracks like Ribbon Road are far more massive than we give[...]

Inside every game of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there's an options menu that talks about how to pull off all the mini-turbo moves you can do as you glide But even with that guide, it's kind of hard to successfully pull off that maneuver every single time Especially the new one with blue sparks Well,[...]

Mario Kart 8, for my money, is one of the very best games for the Wii U The title is just a master class of the fun kart racer, and it looked so bright and colorful It's truely impressive. Many expected to see it turn up on the Switch and at the presentation that has just[...]

That might sound odd considering the Mario Kart: Double Dash classic is just an oval shape and a lap takes around 20 seconds to complete, but there is a drifting skill to it that makes it really fun to play against friends. That's why I'm really pleased to hear it's coming back in the newest Mario[...]

Last week, I shared a video showing off the breakneck speeds of Mario Kart 8's 200cc races The new mode is part of a free update that will be with us on April 23rd. If that first video didn't give you a good enough idea of the speeds that 200cc gets to, this one almost certainly will[...]

We recently learnt that Mario Kart 8 was getting a free update that would include a 200CC mode on April 23rd This will be the fastest mode the series has ever implemented, which will no doubt make it the hardest mode in the game.
