Youtube channel GameXplain have posted a video showcasing them playing through a full-lap for each of the first 16 tracks in the forthcoming Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U. The tracks are arranged in the same order that you’ll encounter them in when the full game launches on May 30th.
Thanks, Eyedea

You got the month wrong :( It should be May 30th :P Other than that, looking forward to seeing all 16 tracks!
Thanks, I’ve got April on the brain!
Haha, same here :P No biggie though! Keep up the great posts :)
Because those damn Xbots have confused your mind a bit…
May 30th*
*May 30th
You had me excited for a second! XD
Oh, I wish the game launches on April 30th lol
I would have bee excited too that’s my birthday.
Nintendomination is at hand in about 1 month…
I hope so. Fingers crossed!!
Oh, also, when can we expect you to join the Console division? You’ve obviously been on the field with the mobile division for a while, but it’s time you started operating from a base camp as well! ;D
Almost 100% that I will before summer ends…
i am also at the mobile division trying to take out all who oppose us in the southeastern US
Good, zap them to oblivion!
those applets are getting stronger but were getting stronger to
were holding off untill we release the big guns kirby and smash
But 100% before this year ends…
And I like the water effects too…
Yeah, same here. Have you seen that new indie game with the frog? I forgot what it’s called, but the visual effects (especially the water) are amazing! The Wii U has a lot of unrealized graphical potential :)
Can’t remember any frog…
Aha! Just remembered :D It’s Nucleotide by Frozen Pixel :) You should definitely check it out if you get the chance! Not sure if it’s out yet though…
I’ll check it out later then…
lol ok XD
what ever happened to frogger? HA HA HA
To fully enjoy this video, I’ve now added MNN to my Windows Tablet favorites as well! MNN on a larger screen! :D
It will feel like I’m right there experiencing the Bar-fights first hand!.
And yes. I think Microsoft makes the best tablets by far. My 8.1 tablet is basically a laptop with it’s screen ripped off. I can install any software I want (not just app store apps) and it’s just all kinds of convenient.
there ARE a hand full of good, quality, fun games that I enjoy on it, but my 3DS is my first love and gets 95% of my attention.
Windows?…
Win…do..ws?…

Lol. I know… The only TRUE affair I have with Nintendo is when I crack out my Sega Genesis to play Toejam & Earl or Gain Ground with my brother.
Sorry but I’m not going to watch the video, I like to keep it a surprise. The element of war, catch the enemy off guard!

“here is the mission, you may accept it as you wish:
1. Clear of the way, we’z gotta get our men outta her pronto, wez gotaz a war to fight.
2. Clear of the way….oh, ummm, F#^& that shit
Right, see you at the boat…I don’t know what I’ve been told…dododododo…I don’t know what I..do do…I don’t know………..Ah f^&* that shit”.
Is this a real game? … I love Conker!
yes, the remake of Conker’s Bad fur day called Live and reloaded…
It was suppose to be better than the original, but I think it failed…loved what they did to the storyline with more enemies but the controls are shit…including the multiplayer…totally fucked that up.
From what I heard, they censored the shit out of it compared to the 64 version. Ironic, huh? A game on a “kiddy” console, that supposedly would have kids playing on it would get exposed to this graphic game. Yet the Microsoft fans who seek to exterminate the “kiddy” console by saying that Nintendo isn’t mature like Microsoft but yet it gets toned down. Sure you could say the more mature thing is to be an adult about it and not swear so much or at all but it was all intended in the first place. If you’re going to change something just to view it, and it won’t make much sense, why do it at all?
Right? I mean why fuck with it and leave it be the way it was suppose to be…the plus enemies, good call, some alternate costumes, good call, the creepy floating baby dolls, GREAT CALL! But the fucking controls man, ITS NOT A MAIN FPS, should have left it alone. The multiplayer One big ass mode, RIDDING OF THE FUN ONES…should have left that alone.
and the cussing…it was censored enough, NO REASON NOT TO CENSOR IT ANYMORE…
Wow, honestly. This game looks boring. It’s just mk7 with better graphics. Nintendo played it too safe yet again
Mario Kart is already near perfection, what more do you want?…
How about more than just the standard 16 new courses and the 16 rehash courses?
What does that have to do with the gameplay itself?…
It’s not so much about the gameplay, but about how this game offers nearly the same content as previous mario karts. 32 courses, some characters etc. I just think this games gonna be the worst selling mario kart in history imo. Fanboys will hate, but what can you do
I doubt it…
But I don’t think it will sell more than Mario Kart Wii at all…
But let’s see how things turns out in one month…
Atleast the online experience will be a little less frustrating than the Wii this time…
Agreed. An HD Mario Kart, with extremely good online (a first for Nintendo)
Anyone who thinks it’s boring obviously hasn’t raced with me yet.
play it anyways…that one thing you can do.
am not buying mario kart 8. just 16 new courses for $60. screw that
nobody is telling you to buy the fucking game idiot
Yet you are willing the buy the most gimped version of Watchdogs and rehashed Narutard games with no improvement on the mechanics.
Dumb Narutard can’t count that it’s 32, plus more for battle stages.
I think this one will atleast dominate Super Circuit, that much I am certain. Hopefully it improves by having good turning, that’s what I always hated about Double Dash!!, always felt like you were on ice.
The trails are processed, and brand new 16, great sound, gravity, the ordinary MP possibilities, MKTV, and gorgeous graphics Pikachu put the best MC ever.
This is the dream of every player, no matter whatever you say!
Even though the old courses feel almost entirely new-
I’d replay Mario Kart 7 in HD.
dude gamexplain posted this days ago and now you get it >.< makes me wonder if all the other news is this late
I’ve never seen this yet. Damn. He posts negative news and people bitch, he posts good news and people bitch. God what’s up with everyone thinking they’ve gotta micromanage blogs?
I watch Gamexplain almost daily, they find out a lot of hidden stuff but also miss just as much. I especially hate Andre’s doofyness. e.o He has like no respect for Peach, not knowing anything about her in Smash and only pretty much gives a rat’s ass about the Bros. and Toads.
Did you know that Andre and Derek dated once? o: It was short but cute. ^.^
im so sick of gamexplain and their spoilers.
MK8 will sell the Wii U in the 20 million units by 2017
For those of you with a Wii U, does it come with an HDMI and/or composite cables out-of-the-box? When I play this, I want it to look as good as humanly possible.
It comes with a HDMI cable :)
Sweet. Don’t have to buy another one. :)
It comes with an HDMI cable.
Humanly possible is for the weak…
It must look as the holiest N as possible…
The HDMI it comes with isn’t short, but it’s not super long either.
can’t understand the “lack of courses” complaint… 32 seems like a lot but whatever… don’t play it then
Plus battle stages. :3
for sure
16? … doesn’t Mario Kart 7 have 32?
do they mean 16 standard? … 16 unlockable?
it has 32 … never mind

Thank you very much. :D
Needs voice chat.
LMFAO WOW this game is jist Mario Kart 7 with HD graphics and the ability to now go upside down!!
The Gamepad is ONLY used as a lame pathetic horn and map such amazing INNOVATION!!
This game is gonna bomb so badly just like Mario World rehash!!The guy above is right Nintendo are playing it way to safe, the next Mario game should have been a new 2d or Mario Galaxy 3, instead it was just a 3DS rehash!!
The same with Mario Kart is just Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS with better graphics!
Gonna be hilarious when this game bombs and the Nintendo guzzlers will still try and say wait till Smash wait till Zelda!!LOL.
Yeah, better buy some brand new and innovative Killzone or Call of Duty!! Or cool Knack with whopping 20 fps! You bought Tomb Raider or The Last of Us just a year ago? You can buy it again with 1080p and a few new graphical tricks!!!
THIS IS FOR THE PLAYERS!!!!!
Lol so true, just like I said. It’s just when this game fails then nothing else will save the wii U. Since mario kart is by history one of nintendos best selling franchise
The WiiU is selling as should, and at a profit. The WiiU is easily fending of the PS4 soon after Mario Kart 8. You should be worried about asasosari’s Xbone Betamax player. Titanfall couldn’t eclipse the PS4 last month in the US. Even with Xbones in every store readily available. What happens when the WiiU gets Mario Kart 8 and PS4 gets the HD same game as last year ” the last of us?” Xbone is about to face the real truth in 8 days. Spiderman 2, the amazing releases on all consoles but itself.
Lol @gamer damage controlling. Get the facts straight before damage controlling. The wii U is not selling as it should and is selling horribly ATM. It’s been out for more than a year and is only @6mil while then ps4 has been out for only a few months and already a OUTSOULD ITS LIFETIME SALES. It’s selling half of what GameCube did during this time frame and less than dream cast also. Even nintendo knows it’s failing right now, which is why they never show sales forecast and even LOWERED the sales predictions. Bone is soon to catch up and ps4, bone are outselling wii U every single week so again. Wii U is not selling anywhere near good and nothing will save it at this point
and when watch dogs outsells that mario kart 8.
because watchdogs is going to be sold in all consoles or are you talking about that a certain version of the game will outsold the other versions?
yes, watchdogs will outsell MK 8, and???
go fuck yo’ mama
Mario Kart is never been about innovation, its about gameplay, Who cares about the gamepad functions in these game, most likely nobody would use it for its features. They fixing the balance in the game like fans have been asking for years. Item customs allows people to set how they want to race online by having a all red shell race, or no items. Mario 3D world is fun to me I enjoyed much better then 3D land(which is one my least favorite mario still finad it fun in some ways. Isn’t 2D marios getting tons of hates these days (even though he sells more 3d mario). 3D world is great considering the install base its nearly about 2 million copies sold. 2million out of 6 million isn’t anything to really laugh at, if the install base was bigger it would have sold more.
You being on a nintendo dedicated website down talking a game with long reaching legs shows your fear. SM3DW sold very well. Mario Kart8 shall move a significant amount of WiiUs, another catalyst for the games nintendo needs to announce or release starting in June. Then there is CHINA! Now prepare to blast off team rocket!
SM3DW sold 2 million copies on a 6 million install base console. Don’t you think nintendo made a profit there. The commenter above you gave you that 2 million number. Super Mario 3D world was made by 100 or less developers ( all different specialities and qualifications ) in a very short period of time. Mario Kart shall make Nintendo “bank” as would be a quick everyday term. Third party game are back on the WiiU if you have not been paying attention in varying genres.
“FPS” season is done and gone, guaranteed a “DESTINY” on a WiiU would or is most likely coming at a 60/40 chance. The 60 being because of the publishers Activision and nintendo ” money love ” 40 being bungie, because we know a lot of them are still xbots at heart. One piece, Pacman adventures 2, Project Cars, I need to save up on resources lol :).
LOL NO it did not sell 2 Million!!!!!
It sold 1.2 Million so stop lying, hilarious how you Nintendo guzzlers have to add numbers to games!!
You added 800k!!
HA
“By the end of 2013, the game had sold 1.95 million copies worldwide, making it the Wii U’s third best-selling game”
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2014/140130e.pdf
Which means it did nearly sell 2 million…OH THE IRONY of stupidity! Good job of destroying him lazara.
Lazara destroyed you…
Xbot, go home…
of couse they made profit with mario rehashes.
jealosy?
Rehash? Uh, sure..?
remember the other company that made profit with assassins creed… BLACK FAG?!!
Yeah you remember that one company…what was it again? :P
You really have no idea what your talking about don’t you. lol.
Coming from the loser who impregnated a wrecking ball that lead his sin spawn to go riding on one once it got older… oh and naked at that… I rather see the guy on Chat Roulette nude on it than your little abomination, I hope a wrecking ball wrecks your balls.
Quick question, when you play 2 player multiplayer, does the it have off TV play for the person using the Gamepad, and use the TV screen for the person using the pro controller? So that the TV doesn’t became split screen
No it has the lame 4 split screen like on the Wii!
This is why the Wii U has failed, Nintendo are not even trying to make great use of the Gamepad, all they are using it for is a horn and map!LOL
How would you know? If Wii and Wii U are so lame, why do you watch them and know about them? Possibly even played them. Wouldn’t that make you lame for doing and knowing this lame stuff?
Yes, yes it would…burn…LOL! Oh and to answer Aeolus, that is a good question…but the answer is nobody knows yet.
uhhh its a item racer :-I
what i dont like… for what is the underwater levels?
i mean i dont see any differetns (just slow down the speed).
they dont even have a underwater helmet ore something like that.
i know mk is not realistic, but this is just stupid. they could do funny animation transform when they drive in to the water (like when they go in the air).
there only two tracks i like twisted mansion and the thwomp stomp stone ruines. , the rest is like always
im not so excited anymore :-(
but i hope everybody else.
i hope the game and the U sells god in june.
My head hurts from reading this.
soory about that.
english is not my first language :-)
Hurts doesn’t it?
smart ass…lol
I never noticed the Cucko at 9:09!!
