IGN's Mario Kart 8 Video Explosion

IGN have uploaded a heap of Mario Kart 8 videos so lets take a look.

First up your first look at the gamepad and what it does during a race.


A race around Mario Kart Stadium


A race around DK Jungle, the Mario Kart 7 track is back for 8.


Donut Plains 3 from the Super Nintendo version is up next. If you want to see the original, jump onto the eshop as its now on the virtual console.


Water Park, that track from the trailer earlier this year with that Sub Coaster ride.


Sweet Sweet Canyon looks good enough to eat.


And finally a comparison between Mario Kart 8's version of Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64 and the original.
