For the first time, Nintendo?s Mario Kart franchise comes to the Wii U console in full HD, introducing new racing circuit designs and anti-gravity karts that will have players driving upside down. Players will also enjoy a variety of series-favorite features, including the return of 12-player online competitive play, hang-gliders, underwater racing and motorbikes. 
 
Driving up a waterfall or across the ceiling can provide an intense adrenaline rush, but that?s not all anti-gravity is good for.

You can even race as Bowser?s seven minions, the Koopalings!
